I enjoyed this game. It has many extras like morphs in the scenes, collecting buildings and puzzle pieces. The secret room has 61 morphs.

The bonus chapter has a ghost story. I liked the ghost and boy screensavers for movement. The ladies were ok but hardly any movement. Archives has replays of 13 hops and 13 puzzles.

I recommend this game!

I have been very dissatisfied with the last few Grim Tales games which was lame because it is definitely a favorite series of mine.This game resurrected my love of them. The story was interesting and well put together. Mini games in this installment were not exactly run of the mill and had a bit of challenge to them.There also was just the right amount of HOPA although those could have been a bit more challenging. I haven't liked a Grim Tales this much since Grey Witch. The only thing I would change is to make the seek and find a little more intricate like they used to be. All and all though I don't have any buyers remorse and will more than likely play it again and am again looking forward to future additions. Show less

I recommend this game!

I found this game to be very enjoyable. I will agree with others that it is too short. I did not mind that Richard was on "vacation".
This is a must try game.

I liked this game . There are others in the series that are better but I rather play this game then most of the newer games coming out .
It is shorter than the others in the series but compared to some of the other new ones coming out this one is a little longer.. Bonus round is interesting but there has been longer bonus games.
You do search for items but most are used quick so it seems like there is less to carry around.
I got sort of lost couple of times but most of the time I had no problem finding where the items I found easy to use .

If you like the other games in this series this is a good game to get. Maybe on a sale though. Show less

I recommend this game!

I found the story very exciting, unfortunately without Richard Gray this time, but everybody needs a vacation ;) Nevertheless it's a very well done sequel to Grim Tales, in which Anna Gray has to make many time jumps.

I recommend this game!

REVIEW BASED UPON THE ENTIRE GAME
3 Chapters Plus a Bonus Chapter – Strategy Guide: 37 pages (My time: 5 Hours)

STORY: Prepare to go back to the future for more Gray family drama! Play Anna Gray as she zigzags through time to save her sister-in-law, Maureen Black. Maureen, a prominent architect, has seen a newspaper from the future detailing her murder at the tower she is constructing. Anna, with daughter Alice in tow, are off to save Auntie Maureen from her imminent death. Somehow, Maureen’s deceased business associate and love interest, Emmet Egerton, is connected to this potential murder. As a time-hopping detective, can you change the course of events and prevent her murder by changing the past?

OPINION: This is a short but entertaining game. For me it is a question of quality over quantity. It is not as lengthy as many HOP games, but the pace is excellent with decent mini-games and HOP scenes. There are some creatively designed graphics for the HOP scenes and mini-games. Many of the game scenes are beautifully illustrated. Unfortunately, Anna’s Daddy Dearest, Richard, is on vacation and does not appear in this game. For me, Richard Gray adds comic relief to this game series. His ghostly presence was sorely missed. I feel this game might have been better if he was in the game giving Anna his usual unsolicited advice. However, even with his absence, the game stands on its own merit.

The collectibles are morphing objects and picture fragments to create four (4) screensavers. There are collectibles which are either buildings or attractions of the town which, when collected, are placed within a map of the town. I found most easy to locate. There are at least two collectibles for each scene. At the end of the game, open a secret room which provides new items to be located within the scenes of the game. This search is timed. The strategy guide is well-written. As with all other strategy guides, I do wish the visuals were larger but overall, it provides a nice source of information for the game.

MECHANICS:

• Four (4) levels of play including a customized version.
• 23 achievements.
• Collect 26 morphing objects and 12 collectibles
• Collect 48 picture fragments for 4 screensavers
• 5 wallpapers along with concept art, music, and video sequences
• Secret room entered at the end of the game to search for new items within the scenes. It is timed.
• Replay 13 HOP scenes and 13 mini-games

BONUS CHAPTER: It is a sequel. Enjoy more family drama as you deal with an ancestral feud between the Egertons and the Blacks. Play Maureen Black, the new bride of Emmett Egerton. Upon entering the Egerton estate, the ghost of Duke Charles Egerton bars you from entering. One of your ancestors started a feud with this ghost. Now you must try to end it and return this ghost to the afterlife. This is a long chapter. There are seven (7) mini-games and four (4) HOP scenes. There are also three (3) mini-HOP scenes. I found the story excellent and the gameplay consistent with the main game. It is a worthy addition to this game.

HOP SCENES: There are fifteen (15) HOP scenes, thirteen (13) of which and be replayed at the end of the game. There are also seven (7) mini-HOP scenes with a small number (six or seven) of items to be located. Most of the scenes are either a lists of items to be located or silhouette scenes. There are a few other variety of scenes including matching and variations of the search-and-replace scenes.

MINI-GAMES: There are twenty-one (21) mini-games, thirteen (13) of which can be replayed. They vary in design. Most of the mini-games are easy; however, there are several which have three parts with each part increasing in difficulty. Most of these puzzles have appeared in other games; however, this developer put some new twists into some of them.

SPOILERS: HERE ARE SOME OF THE MINI-GAMES AFTER THE DEMO:

A. Match 3 puzzle. A new variation. Remove all tokens from a board by adding matching ones from the sides to create links of 3 or more to be removed.
B. Ye Olde Checkers puzzle. Switch the positions of 6 tokens -3 on each side by either moving one space or jumping over another token until all the 3 on the right are on the left and vice versa.
C. Connection puzzle. Connect like-colored glass shards without recrossing lines. 3X Increases in difficulty
D. Switch puzzle. Switch 3 cars so each one arrives in either first, second, or third position as per given instructions. Press a button to test your results.
E. Switch puzzle. Switch items within a house so each is placed within the hands of the proper character. Items can only be placed within a character’s hands if the hands are empty.
BONUS CHAPTER:
F. Moving tiles puzzle. Slide tiles on a circular grid until all tokens are within their proper slots.
G. Matching puzzle. Using 2 clock hands on a circular grid, use the hands to point to matching pairs.
H. Paint-by-number/Math puzzle. An interesting approach to the paint-by-number puzzle. Using 3 brushes A, B, C, and paints -use the correct brush to paint a picture. Paints are numbered and must be combined to equal the number listed on the picture segments. Show less

I recommend this game!
