The Holy Mountain hotel is a wonderful place to stay, IF you aren't guilty of any crimes! This is a very special hotel because the owner has taken it upon himself to enact justice upon the guilty, no jury required! The guilty guests receive exactly what they deserve....Death! James has written you a letter that claims he's already dead, this just can't be true, (because dead people can't write letters) so the Holy Mountain Hotel is our next destination! No need to pack a suitcase, you won't be enjoying your stay with all those guilty ghosts roaming around! We ain't afraid of no ghosts, right?

The graphics....creepy and unnerving, the music will send chills down your spine. I'll never sing that lullaby to a baby again. I really liked the fact that almost every inventory item required some type of interaction before it is available for use.

The Hidden Object Scenes are the typical interactive list finds, but there are a few silhouetted shape finds as well just to break up the monotony. Mini games are in abundance, and I loved em all! Just to name a few, one game required you to swap metal plates to match the grooves on the plate in the middle, the plates could only be swapped in specific positions, just to make it more challenging. Another game required you to place color coded wires into two different sockets with symbols that would form the correct numbered code shown when combined. Even the plus sign inventory items had fun puzzles!

The Collectors Edition has replayable mini games, Wallpapers, Concept Art, Music, Achievements, Character Figurines, Esrael's Antique room, Screensavers, a built in Strategy Guide, and an ALTERNATE ENDING!!! t
That my friends is is totally awesome, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

When the CE first came out, I was not impressed so I didn't bother. Tired of supernatural games. But this game, I have to say it a buy. Between CE or SE, I would prefer this for one good reason. I base my opinion on the story line. THIS not only give me the creeps (in which some times makes me jump) but also holds my interest on what is going on next.

When the CE first came out, I was not impressed so I didn't bother. Tired of supernatural games. But this game, I have to say it a buy. Between CE or SE, I would prefer this for one good reason. I base my opinion on the story line. THIS not only give me the creeps (in which some times makes me jump) but also holds my interest on what is going on next. True, the CE has more stuff and bonuses but this held my interest to the end of the demo time (which is very important}. The story is about a friend that sent you a letter about this hotel. You get there and someone (maybe the owner) is being judge,jury and executioner. So far, on my demo.playing there's a judge and a car racer that was murder. The story is so well written I'm dying to find out what happens nest. A must to have in you collections. Show less

quick side note: Always check the option NEWEST FIRST in the Reviewers SORT BY.... for games that have been out a couple months... because these are the people that completed the FULL GAME and not just the demo usually and its helpful!

THIS IS THE REVIEW I DID FOR THE CE VERSION.... FOR ALL YOU SE PEOPLE THAT WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS MISSING....

**********CONTAINS SPOILERS*************

I LOVED this edition of Haunted Hotel! This gets an A+ across the board. They used a lot of voice actors and cutscenes to push the story and both were PERFECT!
The attention to detail here is so well done. The story was so great, where you get to play an aspect of the story that all comes together. BRAVO!
SE took me 3hrs 15min. The end is great an doesn't depend on the CE's end.
CE: took me 1hr. TOTAL GAMEPLAY: 4hr 15min

BONUS CONTENT:

1 SCREENSAVER.... As you know I LOVE screensavers and this one doesn't disappoint! It has a backdrop of the orig. hotel scene. In the middle an ornate mirror has an image of the judge's (Esrail)ghost which explodes into mirror shards that each have a characters image! LOVE IT! Worthy of buying the CE ALL BY ITSELF! (after the screensvr goes into your docum. folder, R clk folder, SEND TO your dvdrw drive and save it to a disc, so you can use it again#

7 WALLPAPERS -almost all of them have a shattered mirror, a bummer for me was, after you complete the SE, there is still a locked wallpaper you get after you finish bonus. This is also true with ALL the CE content.

I think most Bigfishers would agree, we want to install ALL our goodies Ce content AS we are playing the game, not after! DEVELOPERS, PLEASE DON'T KEEP LOCKED CONTENT TO THE END!

Concept art- 8 pics #I actually prefer before/after if we get concept art to see the cool people that made the game.

MUSIC- also beautifully done.... there are 5 saveable tracks.

Bonus play: Took me 1hr. This time you play the same person as SE, but you are responding to a crashed boat on the hotel's island....and your job is to hunt for the survivors.

NEW AREAS OF PLAY::::: There are 7 areas we play on the map. 3 scenes were from SE but they have been updated -pier, porch, & garage-but they have a new feel. The brand new areas are -backyard, basement, rope bridge, and waterfall- I played 7 minigames and 2 hos during bonus ply.

CE has a 36page.STRAT GUIDE #6 chapters) + Bonus play. SE pgs 2-26 and Bonus pgs 27-33.

Acheiv & Coll. Throughout the CE you collect 22 anitiques. and 10 game statues. Each has its own display room and each item comes up for close examination when you click it...with a little bit of information on the item or person. This was beautifully done, with a lot of attention to detail.

There is also an Alternate ending.... which I havn't played yet. The first ending was great!

I absolutely adored this HH and can't wait for more! Thank you Big Fish Games! And hugs to all those at Elephant that gave me so many hours of fun!! I adore you guys!! Show less

I recommend this game!

Great game. Graphics, mini-games, and finding your way back around really good. Needed hints a lot but the TELEPORT to transfer you to where you need to be is great with all the Haunted Hotel games. Have two now, working on my third and many more to come I hope. Thanks Big Fish for making my wheelchair sitting fun 4me!

A fast-paced story, many smaller mysteries lead up to the truth.

Pros:
fast-paced
lots of mini-mysteries solved quickly

Cons:
major mystery rather obvious, but still fun to uncover each smaller mystery

I recommend this game!

H.O.s were varied to keep it interesting.

Mini-games were the perfect challenge level for me. They made me think but were doable.

There was a teleporting map that told what needed done and where. I didn't use it for the first half of the game but towards the end it was more time consuming to backtrack through scenes.

A great game that I will probably replay someday. Show less
