For those who enjoyed the first two edition of PuppetSHow, you are in for a pleasant surprise. The Villain, Felicia, needs your help to undo her past and make things right again. How? By way of time travel ofcourse. As Detective, you find yourself in the past and your mission is to prevent the tragic events from happening that caused Felicia from going all vengful on everyone. You find yourself helping to save the very young Felicia and solve a mystery that will reveal the true culprit of PuppetShow. Once again, the devlopers have given us truely beautiful graphics and annimations, complimented by Voice/overs and very good sound-track. There are three modes of play and options include wide-screen and custom cursor. There are many puzzels to solve, items to find and suprisingly new tricky mini-games to play all giving you a really entertaining game experience. The HOG scenes are very crowded and there are some interaction involved. The only complaint I had with game mechanics was the inventory which is a fan that you need to open everytime you need an item. This became to be annoying after a while as I am a creature of habit, and am use to having my inventory open and available at all times.
Visually the game is breathtaking with beautiful cut scenes and I loved the graphics and design. Yes there could have been extra features like a reward system or morphing objects but the storyline and gameplay makes up for that. I loved the first two games and I really cannot wait to continue my journey with the third edition. By the way, not to spoil anything, but what is up with that cat????? Happy Gaming everyone!!!

I recommend this game!

Now part of the 4 Puppetshow series has been released. As always, very nice graphics, fun mini games, HOS overloaded, find the items but actually simple. Comprehensible manual, one-touch function that works not only in the HOS. I bought the game immediately (without a trial version to play) and I was not disappointed so far.

Graphics are great, love the extra visual effects in a few of the HOGS!! Music is fine, not overly annoying. The developers(ERS) have come through once again with an excellent game that is well worth the cost for the CE. I have just started playing and I know I have hours of fun to look forward to!!

I have all of the other games from this dev and really liked them. This one really doesn't have anything new. The graphics are very nice, music pretty much the same as the others, game play nice, SG very nice. Story is very predictable. Not overloaded HOGs (I like HOGs#, and items are not difficult to find. Seems to have a few more games, which are fairly simple. I didn't like the fact that you can't lock the tool bar in place #constantly clicking to open it up is very annoying).

Couldn't tell from the SG how long the game was, which I prefer knowing in advance of spending so much. I still had 2 min left in my 1 hour demo, so it would have to be a lot longer in order for me to purchase this game as a CE.

I did like it and and I probably will purchase, but want to see how long it is first. Thanks for the reviews. Show less

I recommend this game!

Another in the series with incredible graphics, a good storyline and interesting characters.

The CE is 8 chapters plus a bonus game and the legnth of the entire game was reasonable.

There is a journal (notes) but no interactive map which doesn't matter as it is easy to move around.

Another in the series with incredible graphics, a good storyline and interesting characters.

The CE is 8 chapters plus a bonus game and the legnth of the entire game was reasonable.

There is a journal (notes) but no interactive map which doesn't matter as it is easy to move around.

There are 3 modes of play but the game is relatively easy, including the puzzles. The HOS have a lot of items which may detract for those who do not like clutter but I found them to be interesting with a lot to look at and a challenge to find things as they were blended in very well. There are also a couple of different modes in the HOS - silhouettes for example and the usual 'complete an action to find the object'.

The music is not overbearing but can be a little repetitive on occasion.

The level of challenge will not suit those looking for something a lot harder but there is enough here to make the game interesting and a challenge on some level.

Overall, worth playing for the beautiful graphics and weird creatures. Show less

I recommend this game!

If you love PupperShow, you will not be disappointed by this 3rd installment. I was very excited when I saw this release today and I only played the demo so far but as soon as I am finished downloading the game, I am going back in to complete.

I recommend this game!
