I've been playing Big Fish for over 2 decades and this game I found enjoyable. I cannot buy it atm but played the hour. A few music missteps here and there but other then that it was fun. A lot to do and I didn't need to join Mensa to do the puzzles lol. Color was good, graphics lovely. Always try out a game is my opinion (though you shouldn't really care what other think. Try it for yourself) ...Show more

I recommend this game!

Completed Game in approximately 5 hours
24 Main Game Scene Locations +17 Bonus Chapter
Difficulty Range: Beginner...always is

The King has fallen ill and is in desperate need of my help because I am the best Inspector of the Supervision Department of Magic ...for the entire Kingdom! (don't laugh, it's a pretty big department) I know what you're thinking, this sounds like a self-appointed, bogus exploitative position, but I can assure you that I take my Royal Magic Inspections seriously. I inspect the heck out of magic, no magic slips past this Inspector's cracks, not on my Inspector Watch. Albeit Dark Magic, Light Magic, Ceremonial Magic, Conjuring Magic, Hocus Pocus Magic, Blair Witch Magic, Wand-waving Hermione Magic, White Witch trapped under the house Magic, even Nose-twitching Samantha Stevens Magic is a Magic I'm prepared to Inspect to the fullest extent! I'd better get a move-on, this Magic ain't gonna Magically Inspect itself!

Collectibles/Morphing Objects (CE version only)
Once again, Do Games (I can't take this new co. name seriously, doh!) copy/pasted the collectible's feature from a previous game because when you go to the CE Extra's menu it has a category for Magic Flowers. When you click on the Magic Flowers feature it shows the silhouettes for 15 Bracelets?? Once you start the game, however, the collectible's tab states that they are indeed Magic Bracelets, not Magic Flowers?

There are also 15 Morphing Royal Household items and 70 Zoom Zone Vials of Potion to purchase 15 Curio Cabinet Items. The "curio cabinet" doesn't look like a curio cabinet, it looks like a shelf in a closet, so this is probably a typo as well?? Speaking of typos, page 45 on the SG tells us to PLAT an HOP. I'm pretty sure my Magic Inspection skills don't qualify me to plat anything, especially an HOP?

I'd also like to ask a question: (possible SPOILER ALERT)

Who at Do Games thought any of these purchase options would interest the player...any player? A saddle, a diadem, a pair of hunting boots, a falcon hood, a pair of gloves, a snuff box, a leather notebook, a saucepan, a scroll, a dagger, a feather duster, a portrait of the Kingdom's founder, a hunter's whistle, and a bottle of some sort that also states it is a hunter's whistle (in other words, another typo) Seriously! Isn't the point to create excitement in the player so they will keep playing in anticipation of their next purchase? Is anyone going to get excited over purchasing a feather duster, a used saucepan, or a snuff box, let alone an ugly painting of the Kingdom's founder??? Would anyone in their right mind proudly display any of these items in a Curio Cabinet? END SPOILER ALERT

Hidden Object Scenes:
The first Hidden Object Scene couldn't have been located in a more uninteresting location... within my infamous Wooden Inspector's Cabinet...BUT WAIT, there's more! The next scene has a small Zoom Zone where I am tasked with finding the handle, base, and prongs of a wooden pitchfork via Silhouetted Shapes. Good luck finding these parts because the scene is literally so dark that it is impossible to actually see the objects. (just click on every spot till ya get 'em all) Surely, this must be the Dark Magic I'm here to Inspect? (after platting an HOP, of course) A short while later, after breaking a few keys, and digging up objects buried in a dirt pile and at the bottom of a hay bale, Do adds a Slider Bars throwback variant just in case you were beginning to doze off! BTW: my Inspector-senses led me to believe someone had hidden these items in the dirt...told you I was the best Inspector of the Supervision Department of Magic!

Alternate Match 3 Game:
There is an alternate Match 3 Game available if you don't want to play a Hidden Object Scene. The M3's still don't allow you to make consecutive matches quickly because you have to wait for all tiles to stop falling before you can make the next match and they are the same boards with the same tiles used in every Do Game!

Bonus Chapter (CE Version Only)
Ironically, in this Bonus Chapter prequel, the King's son is poisoned while toasting his return to the Kingdom...this would be a good time to invest in some Royal Cup-Bearers (food & drink testers for Royalty) There are 8 additional Mini-Games and 5 additional Hidden Object Scenes that take place over 17 additional scene locations. You will continue searching for the final 6 Morphing Royal Household Items, 3 Magic Bracelets, and 15 Zoom Zone Vials of Potion allowing you to purchase the final items for the Curio Cabinet, saving the best for last...the feather duster!

Collector's Edition Extra's: (CE version only)
10 Wallpapers, 10 Concept Art Pictures, 5 Music Soundtracks, 34 Movie Video Cutscenes, 39 Achievements, 17 Replayable Mini-Games, 17 Replayable Hidden Object Scenes, Extra Side Tasks/Quests available throughout the Main Chapters (choose by selection the side task on conversation bubbles when available) 15 Morphing Royal Household Items. 15 Magic Bracelets, and 70 Zoom Zone Vials of Potion used to purchase 15 Curio Cabinet items, 6 Main Chapters, +Bonus Chapter, and a Built-In Strategy Guide.

Just yesterday a game with a similar theme, but that one is much better than this one from Domini. I played the CE demo and came away with my usual opinion: too many tasks, not enough story, plenty of boredom. And with Domini it's always an old game, just new title and different characters.

The king has fallen ill and you, the Inspector of Magic with your trusty medical bag, determine he is under a curse. There's also a disloyal son stressing the king out with his betrayal. Family members can be the worst kind of enemies!

Disliked the HOPs, all scenes were very dark, hard to distinguish items. One with page overlays was extremely tedious. Enjoyed the puzzles, average challenge, fun. Characters looked great, except for the witch with Roald. Voices and lip sync better than usual but some movements were pretty stiff, some were "floaty." Scenes/locations were interesting, not overly cluttered but I thought the graphics were too dark, liked the music.

Game is quite easy, lots of tasks and potions. If you prefer that rather than more adventure, you will be pleased with what you find in this game.

My review took 2 attempts, edit button not working today, obviously the review page is still messed up. My review was deleted this time when someone else's was posted. Please BF, fix the review page!!! Rewriting all the time is NOT FUN. Show less

I played this game for 10 minutes and never got off the first screen. There was no hint button and almost zero tutorial help, What there was focused on the obvious.

I don't recommend this game.
