An excellent game, I already bought the CE, and I repeat here my review for those who prefer SE games:
- Great interesting story: Return with Derrick to the Sullivan River Camp that left him with nightmares until now, already adult: the labyrinth ... bulliyng ... missing children ...
Cutscenes very well made and appealing will hold you in this game. Great graphics, immersive atmosphere, sound very appropriate. Exciting locations with lots to do.
Three difficulty levels.
It has a interactive map (you can go straight to the desired location by clicking on the map) and a journal.
Good balance of interactive HOS, entertaining mini games, not too hard, but very enjoyable and some are brand new!
The game itself has good level of challenge, although the HOS are not difficult.
Not much comes and goes, found objects are used soon.
It only took half an hour playing to decide to buy.
Highly recommended! Show less

I recommend this game!

I've not even finished my demo yet but this is a definite buy for me. I played on the middle of 3 levels. The cutscenes are compelling, voice-overs well done, and the storyline pulls you right in. When you were a child, 6 campers vanished from Sullivan River after bullying a fellow camper, who seems to have been helped by the trees (think: whomping willows from Harry Potter). In an attempt to restore your memories of that fateful day, you've returned to discover what truly happened there. The music adds to the ambiance without being annoying, there is a very cool interactive map, minigames are challenging (and skippable) yet not frustrating, navigation is easy, and progression very logical. The HO scenes are unique in that there might only be 5 objects for you to find, but each of them must be used in the scene to find another item on the list -- way more than I've seen in other games. If I had to find one negative it would be that minigames don't come with directions (but are straightforward enough) or help, and Hint button is inaccessible. But what really sold this game for me was the creep factor. . .it'll provide some shivers without being gruesome. The background sounds are just unnerving enough to make you smile and say, "Cool," and want to keep on playing. Fishies, this one's definitely worth a look. I'm looking forward to diving back in to Camp Sullivan River! Show less

I recommend this game!

What a creepy and sinister game! Such eerie and creepy sound effects and music. Wouldn't want to play it on a stormy night while home alone. Scarier than things that go bump in the night. You go back to your youth camp at the suggestion of you shrink to put your nightmares at rest. Who should meet you but one of the kids who disappeared in a labyrinth and needs your help.

You go back to your youth camp at the suggestion of you shrink to put your nightmares at rest. Who should meet you but one of the kids who disappeared in a labyrinth and needs your help.

Horrifying surprises abound as you go through the camp, making it even more fun to play. There are so many places to explore that the interactive map sure is handy. And so many things going on at once; either a good memory or pen and paper would come in handy. Very detailed graphics and challenging gameplay. If you like scary, this is it! A very well developed, polished game. It certainly grabs your attention from the get go! Show less

Story: You take on the role of Derrick (now an adult) who is still traumatized by his childhood due to the disappearance of six children while playing at a Celtic Labyrinth so you seek out the help of a psychiatrist who recommends you return back to the scene of where it happened at the Sullivan River Summer Camp to try and rescue them.

3 play modes - I played advanced mode. No sparkles but does show black bar tips up at the top of the screen.

There is voice-over

There is a journal and also a map that you can use to travel back/forth.

HOS (hidden object scenes): I counted 22 scenes for the main game. All found by word list and are interactive.

HINT: I can't comment on how fast it charges up this time around as I only used it one time for the whole game but I can say it's helpful if you're not sure where to go/do next as it will lead you there until you get to where you need to be.

Puzzles: Some of the same seen in many games such as rotate rings however came across a few different ones I've never seen before anyway. Most I found pretty easy however I did skip a few of these as I'm not a fan of the puzzles and can be skipped in less than a minute.

My overall impression:

I purchased the CE version when that was released and I don't regret doing so.

What a great game for the Halloween season since that is just right around the corner with this spooky, eerie game. I was hooked to this right from the get go and held my interest to the very end as I did not stop playing until I got to the end.

I can sure tell there was some time and thought put into this game. The graphics, HOS, music, voice overs along with the story being told. I sure welcomed a whole different setting than the usual mansion and car crash theme and well this here was absolutely flawless for me and just something different. Also a lot of places to go and things to do.

Game length: 5 hours for me. May be more or less for you.

Undecided between the SE or CE version of the game?

The bonus chapter is not needed to complete the main game here however without giving anything away the bonus chapter does have a continuation that never occurred to me. I felt like I had a complete main game here without it as for me the bonus was a bonus.

This also does start off from where you left off in the main game however opens up to all new locations. As for HOS only 6 scenes. There's also some puzzles of course.

There's also trophies to be won and the strategy guide.

Bonus length: For me was an hour. May be more/less for you.

Overall, 5 stars from me! Thanks Big Fish and developer for an excellent game here.

As always, definitely give it a whirl and decide for yourself. Just because I enjoyed it doesn't mean you will be I sure hope so! Show less

I recommend this game!

* BASED ON FULL GAME + BONUS GAMEPLAY

I am leaving my review of the CE game on the SE page because if you ever have another credit this is a good place to put it. The BONUS X-PLAY ON THIS GAME IS WORTH BUYING THE CE EDITION!

I am reviewing this game after 3 editions of the title have come out. This is by far the best.

Graphics: Are clear, perfect even on a 22" monitor. The actual gameplay consist gorgeous (a little dark..) locations. The bonus play gets even prettier.

Music: Super annoying at first/ a kids voice singing about evil trees. I shut it off. Music does improve as you go on.

Storyline: I liked it a lot, you wanted to know what happens next. Its about a young boy dreaming about a summer camp he once attended where other children ostracized him to the degree he has nightmares into adulthood which cause him to seek a counselor. All characters based and look realistic....so its not all that acceptable when trees come to life in the dream state.... It might have worked in another game but this one was too dark for "cutsie"
Because some of this story takes place in dream state, some of the gameplay is ridiculous and unworthy of the totality of the game...meaning there are trees that come to life and that was just stupid when most of the game was "reality based".

Bonus CE xplay: This game is worthy of purchasing the CE on the Chapter alone. Rarely in CE do we see ALL new areas to go into and these areas actually trumped the actual game. Whoever was assigned this task....bravo.
It would have been nice to have a SCREENSAVER, but there were none. All other CE content typical.
XPLY, WTG, Wallpapers, Concept Art (Developers....I do not know of one Bigfisher that is lured into buying CE by concept art OR music.
I personally play these games all day, due to illness, and I actually WILL buy a CE for Screensavers that save to computer AFTER the game is removed. It reminds us how much we liked the game (every time our screen is in sleep) and to buy the next one!!
I really was so impressed by this game I wanted to come back and review it. So far I like it better then its counterparts.... Crossing my fingers the 4th will be the best. Show less

I recommend this game!

Good Story line, excellent graphics, would be nice it the mouths of characters moved when they speak otherwise the graphis are high end. Well thought out storyline. Not very challenging. I like that most objects you need to solve a puzzle are nearby. Played the Demo and I had to buy, I am not disappointed. Overall great game!

- The sound is great, music, voice-overs...
- The graphics are beautiful, clear.
- The HOS have an interactive part, the objects are sometimes hard to find.

- You have a good journal, as well as a map. I found it funny because the map is upside down! The walking is not annoying.
- The hint system is very good, showing you the way.
Without skipping anything, it took me about 2 1/2 hours, but it seemed longer to me. I think it's well worth the money. Show less

Nice game. Not hard at all and not going all over the place looking for things. Enjoyable game to relay and play. Has voice over and graphics are good. HOS are not hard and do not need the hint button much but it works good.

First of all, I loved the animation! The creepy old trees busted through pretty much every scene you came upon, not to mention the ghosts of children you once knew! The mini-games came with no instructions, but they were pretty much self-explanatory and you could skip them if you are unable to figure them out. The map doesn't show you where your objectives are, but you can hit the hint button until it takes you to where you need to go. Show less

This game is great! It's got a good storyline, very creepy. The graphics are also excellent. A big plus for me is that it is LONG. I mean really long! I played it on the Hard Core setting, because I prefer to work things out myself. It was not a hard game, but there is lots to do. The hidden object scenes are only repeated once each, so you don't have to keep going back to the beginning to search for a HO scene to find what you need. There is a map that lets you jump around when needed.
This is a HOPA, but more on the adventure than HO. I mean, there are lots of HO scenes, but lots of adventure and puzzles in between.
I found this a refreshing change from Mystery Trackers, which used to be a good series but the last two were so boring.
There are no "impossible" puzzles, in fact most are medium or easy. One thing if you play on Hard Core, they don't tell you how to solve the puzzles, you have to figure it out on your own. But again, they are not hard. The puzzles are not your normal HOPA puzzles, some are quite intriguing, if not hard.
If you like a great storyline, a long adventure, and nicely done HOPAs, then this is the game for you! Show less
