The Drawn series is one of my favorite HOS series on the market. The soundtracks are lovely, the art style is gorgeous, and the storylines really kept me hooked! The puzzles are challenging enough to be interesting but not so much so that any are impossible to solve.

The Drawn series is one of my favorite HOS series on the market. The soundtracks are lovely, the art style is gorgeous, and the storylines really kept me hooked! The puzzles are challenging enough to be interesting but not so much so that any are impossible to solve. Even the voice acting was tailored to the characters, which is something I definitely can't say about all of the HOS games out there--and trust me, after you've played a bunch of HOS games, you really appreciate the little details that the design team includes for you.

For me (on a Windows 7 Home), all 3 games were completely glitch-free and ran like a charm. Highly, highly recommended. Show less

I recommend this game!

Like the first game, this game did take me approximately 6-7 hours to finish, but it was not without it's challanges.

Some puzzles took me awhile to figure out and I did have to use Franklin to help me when I so stuck that it was frustrating. I would not complain too much about the length of the game being too short like some of the other reviews because most of Big Fish's games are known to be similar in length of approzimately 6-8 hours gameplay time for me. What I look for is how good the story is, how challenging the puzzles are, and how well dawn the graphics are, which this game did a rather good job doing. Show less

You start with the choice of difficulty level: Casual (with tutorial) or Experienced (without tutorial). I chose Experienced.

Options include Music, Sound Effects, Brightness (oh, YES!!), Full Screen, Aspect Ratio (stretch to fit the screen, where applicable) and Custom Cursor. There is also a Reset to Default button in case you want to change it back to the way it was when you opened the ...Show more

You start with the choice of difficulty level: Casual (with tutorial) or Experienced (without tutorial). I chose Experienced.

Options include Music, Sound Effects, Brightness (oh, YES!!), Full Screen, Aspect Ratio (stretch to fit the screen, where applicable) and Custom Cursor. There is also a Reset to Default button in case you want to change it back to the way it was when you opened the game.

The Extras button on the main menu will take you to the pages where you can buy the games (Drawn: The Painted Tower; Drawn: Dark Flight), the Credits and/or the Forums.

HINTS are "tiered" and refillable. Click for a hint, get a general idea of what you should be doing; click again and get more specific instructions. Basically, the hints walk you through what you need to know.

I like that the game's toolbar disappears unless you mouse-over it. It's so nice to be able to see all of the artwork and not have it cut off.

Dark Flight takes up right where The Painted Tower left off. I highly recommend playing the first Drawn game before you play Dark Flight, but the game creators have added enough story that you won't be totally perplexed if you didn't play Painted Tower first.

The Drawn games are story-driven adventures, so if you don't like stories in your games, these probably aren't for you.

The music, the gameplay, the voices... even the scenery is very similar. We visit some familiar locations, but from different angles - beautifully done, devs This was an absolute must-buy for me after only 10 minutes of the demo. It was enough for me to know that this game has the same high production values as the first Drawn game.

There is just one more thing I'd like to mention: When you exit the game, you are automatically taken into a video-preview of Dark Flight. It is beautifully done, majestic and thrilling... except that you will see it every time you exit the game. Or NOT! I thought I saw someone griping about this, but it's easily skipped - just hit the ESC key! My only gripe is that exiting the game also automatically takes you to the CE purchase page. A slight annoyance, but one I can easily live with. Show less

I recommend this game!

The entire Drawn series has a fantastic story, and the graphics are beautiful so no complaints there. At times, it can be a bit difficult to figure out where to go/what to do next but with a bit of persistence things fell into place. The gameplay is a bit different from other games you can find on BFG and that is much appreciated. This is a worthy sequel to the original, Drawn: The Painted Tower.

I recommend this game!

The graphics are beautifully done, and the puzzles are challenging. The music is beautiful. The sensory quality of this game is just great. My only complaint is I would have liked to have had a map, because I got lost a few times. But, if you like adventure games, this one is definitely worth a look. Show less

The Drawn series is by far my favorite of any Hidden Object series. The graphics are unique, stunning, and well animated. The game itself is unique and different from all other hidden object games as well. This is the first in the series and I was not disappointed. I played this specific game awhile ago so I don't remember much about the storyline, but I know that it is challenging and I promise you will not be disappointed if you purchase the game. If you like less traditional hidden object games and more adventure games, then you will love this game. You are mainly trying to move through the game, rather than finding items and solving a mystery.

NO other game out there has the detailed imagery and flat like graphics that this game has. Absolutely keeps you intrigued and you won't be able to stop playing. Show less

makes you want more, these games always get you going then they end. But this game is excellent in every way. I love the graphics, The only thing I didn't like was going back and forth so much but I still rate it one of my best games. Hope you make more. I have all three.

I recommend this game!
