Diana has gotten herself into another predicament! She just returned home from the last portal that swallowed her, and she hasn't learned her lesson, don't mess with ancient gadgets! Once again she has tampered with an ancient portal, and once again, Diana is trapped in another world, a prison at that! The good news is that she's not alone, this prison has two other prisoners, one of which is a volunteer. The prison was built to imprison Rhitoris, an evil demon, and Kitron has sacrificed his freedom, using his own magical powers to block the demon's evil powers. Diana will need to use her skills to avoid traps, and help the people of this strange new world, as she searches for a way to return home, that is IF there's a way home!

Five-BN Games have created some powerful games before, but this sequel has to be their best creation yet. I'm a fan, I can honestly say that every game series they have created is amongst my favorites, and they are truly worthy of a 5 star rating! Lost Lands, Darkness & Flames, New York Mysteries, House of 1000 Doors, Sacra Terra, Eternal Journey, and one of my top 5 favorites, Forbidden Secrets: Alien Town, are just a few of their epic games available. The Legacy is quickly becoming a Legacy adventure.

The sights and sounds are so realistic, I have surround sound speakers hooked up to my computer and I can't tell you how many times my poor little dogs and cat, have perked their ears up and looked all around the room, to try and figure out where those birds were. They have done a fantastic job of creating an atmosphere to make you feel as if you were there. I love the abundance of Collectibles and Morphing Objects, and that they unlock puzzles and mini games in the Extra's section of the Collector's Edition. Each and every scene has them, they blend in with the scenery very well, AND you can choose whether or not you want the cursor to change when you scan across an item, and if you want the items to be included on the map as to whether or not they have all been found, how awesome is that!

The Hidden Object Scenes have the standard Interactive Listed items, that includes finding all the cliche objects, a hat, shoe, teddy bear, spoon, necktie, wrench and necklace with missing beads. However, they also have a very creative HOP style that was a staple in the original game, and if I'm not mistaken, I think they were also in Darkness & Flames. The Progressive, Interactive, Silhouetted Shape find type, in my opinion is one of the best HOP's I've ever played, they are creative, items and tasks are very well blended, logical, and extremely entertaining. Some of the HOP's have a small puzzle to solve as well, but at least in the demo, there isn't an alternative game available.

The Mini Games are all solvable, non frustrating, and well crafted, although not really original. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:

1) Enter the correct code on the keypad using the clue you found earlier.

2) Place exhibit items correctly using the photo as reference.

3) Enter the number of the lost artifact into the GPS, recalling by memory or referring to the Journal. (YEA, a journal to recap the story and use for referral, has returned!)

4) Rotate the circle parts to align the fragments into their matching grooves.

5) Using the hint you found, draw a line to connect the dots of the constellation.

6) Select the matching plates until all but one tile remains.

7) Move the block with the emerald to the exit on the opposite side in a game of "blocks" where you must move other sections to clear a path.

REVIEW OF COMPLETED GAME AND BONUS

Wow, what a fabulous game and I enjoyed every minute of it. In the main game you once again play Diana who is thrust into a new dimension. The bonus game is about an Elder who must rescue a boy who is about to become a human sacrifice. There is:

* Voiceovers (with dialogue);
* Casual, Advanced, Hard and Custom modes;
* Interactive map;
* Diary;
* 22 Achievements;
* Find 30 morphing objects (in the main game)
* Find 4 Vases, 4 Golden Dishes, 4 Masks, 7 Shells, 5 Beetles and 6 Snake Heads in the main game;
* Find 12 Statuettes in the bonus game.

The graphics are stunning and I was utterly blown away at how detailed everything was. There was no expense saved here, so you are in for a treat. Sound is good and the music is orchestral and very beautiful (sounds like North American Indian music).

The hidden object games are interactive straightforward, silhouette and putting items back. Because the graphics are so good, items are easy to see. Each HOP takes about 5 minutes or so.

There are a great variety of mini-games to play which range from easy to medium. I enjoyed them all and never felt bored. I'm sure you will find your favourite ones there.

It was great that in Custom mode I could turn everything off. I particularly like turning the "hand" off so I can find the morphing objects and collectibles myself. Great for expert players.

In each scene there is a morphing object and a collectible to find. I grabbed these first before doing anything so I didn't forget about them. Get them all and you get achievements. If you find all the morphing objects then you get an additional 20 levels of bonus mini-games.

All up the game took me about 6 hours or so to play. I played quite slowly because I didn't want to miss anything. I was disappointed when it finished because I wanted to carry on.

Overall a fabulous game with all the bells and whistles you could wish for. Please don't let this game pass you by - its a gem.

Happy playing fishes. Show less

Normally I read quickly and click, because most of the stories seem kind of the same. I loved the story line. The puzzles were fun and many of them. I was able to do the puzzles quickly. Kinda easy. I wish they would have been harder, but it didn't diminish how much I enjoyed this game. Show less

You don't walk around with too much in your inventory, all you find is almost directly used, nice HO-scenes, the music is fine, the voices are good ... to me this is an excellent built game and i enjoy it very much. Good that i did the trial, which i also recommend to every player before buying. Show less

If you are a fan of the achievements they got them, plus lots of collectables, they even have Bonus games you can play. The other devs need to take a few pointers because FIVE BN knows what their fans love!!!!!

In this edition of The Legacy 2: Prisoner, a golden artifact has been stolen from the museum! Diana is on her hunt for the thief when she gets sucked into a portal, sending her back to the era of the Mayans. The only way for her to get back home is to defeat the demon Rhitoris. As capable as Diana is, does she have what it takes to dethrone this powerful demon? To this day, I still remember the brilliance of The Legacy: Forgotten Gates, but as much as I loved that game, I do not necessarily want to go on the same adventure twice. The Legacy: Prisoner takes you back to the world of the Mayans, one that feels strikingly familiar because we have visited there before in the first installment. The storyline lacks a new level of excitement because it is practically the same as the one in Forgotten Gates, as well as countless other HOPA adventures. While the Sci-Fi elements still give this series a unique touch, touching on some other new themes would definitely be appreciated. The gameplay in The Legacy: Prisoner is certainly decent, although nothing to write home about. All the tasks and interactions are logical and make sense within the context of the game, and none of them are particularly challenging or innovative. Similarly, the puzzles are enjoyable and challenging at times, but we have seen the big majority of them before in some other games. Nonetheless, Five-BN is always adept at crafting interesting hidden object scenes and the ones in this game do not disappoint with their layered scenes and smart interactions. Regardless of the storyline and the gameplay that came slightly below my expectations, the sights and sounds remain fantastic. The realistic visuals, the creative location designs and the exquisite special effects in this game are the epitome of casual adventures. Moreover, the epic cut-scenes and smooth animations are also worth a shout out. On the audio side, the mysterious vibe of the music is well-used and the voice-acting is all-around solid. The main game of The Legacy: Prisoner clocks in at around four hours and the equally-entertaining bonus chapter comes in at fifty minutes. The bonus section of the Collector’s Edition is packed with extras; a strategy guide, wallpapers, concept art, videos, soundtracks, re-playable hidden object scenes, re-playable puzzles, achievements, as well as collectibles and morphing objects that will later-on unlock some bonus puzzles. If you are a fan of Five BN and their hit games like Lost Lands, Darkness and Flame, and New York Mysteries then your bound to enjoy this next installment of The Legacy...Cheers! Show less

The DEPTH AND DETAILED SOUND EFFECTS is astounding and is another thing I love. You really have to wear headphones, and turn up the environmental sounds to appreciate it. Not only that, but the sound effects created from the mouse-click actions are very soothing.

I silenced the voice-overs, because I just enjoy it more that way.

Mixture of HOP types, and a variety of puzzles at various skill levels. The HOPS are ok, but not the biggest pull for me on this game. Show less

A golden bust from Diana’s exhibition in the museum is stolen. But this case is special. The guard, sitting in front of his monitors, is alarmed by a signal of the motion detector. On one monitor he sees an alien creature. Hypnotized by the alien’s stare, he sets off to the room, breaks the showcase, takes the golden artifact and jumps out of the window, then running away with it.
Diana learns about the incident, when she comes to work in the museum. The broken showcase holds her exhibition and she realizes, what is missing. With the help of the bust’s GPS code, she can determine its location and starts off to pursue the thief. The navipad leads her to an abandoned place. There the thief throws the bust into a dried up well. It is David, the guard, but Diana won’t question him, instead she goes after her exhibit first. At the bottom, the well looks like a decorated worship chamber. Standing in a ritualistic circle she accidentally activates a portal and falls into another world. She lands in front of an ancient temple. With no apparent way back, Diana enters the temple and meets an old man, Kitron, who introduces himself as guard of a dangerous prisoner, the demon Rhitoris.
We are back in a blend of fantastic sci-fi with co-existing worlds. Diana enters through a portal, that immediately closes. On the one hand our protagonist finds her way via modern devices as navipads but is trapped in an ancient culture, where she has to meet challenges without the technical achievements. It is more an adventure game with more challenging mini games and mult-layered HOS mostly. The animations, artwork, and graphics are simply beautiful. Music is suiting and I like the characters. Diana is not drawn as a hero, able to answer all challenges without batting an eyelid. So it is easy to follow her as the protagonist in finding a way out of this world as well as keeping her own one save of danger. Show less
