fromDid you know that there is a large rock in Germany that produces an echo? Legend say that Lorelei threw herself into the Rhine River in despair over a faithless lover, and became a siren who lures fishermen to their demise?

I just finished playing the main game of Love Beyond in the Collector's Edition version. There are 5 Chapters (+ Bonus Chapter in the CE version) and most of the chapters are long, with the exception of the second chapter, which takes up a mere 3 pages on the SG, compared to the other four chapters which consist of between 5-8 pages. The chapters do however, tend to drag towards the end of each chapter, because they are what I consider to be filler tasks. Filler tasks are meaningless tasks requiring you to constantly go back and forth, finding 1 out of 4 puzzle piece here, an emblem section there, placing this and that, while never adding to the storyline.

Speaking of storylines, this is one of the thinnest plots I've seen offered lately. Eipix always has amazing graphics, but they never have an amazing storyline to go along with those amazing graphics. Love Beyond, and 95% of all their other games offered, have a predictable plot. Rarely do they offer a suspenseful plot, or a story that takes several twists and turns. This is why they have to add so much "filler" because the entire plot is set up within the demo, and you just know how the story will end, once you realize what the story is about. After finishing the game, I'm still left scratching my head, trying to connect the dots on several aspects of the story!

I did enjoy several of the mini games after the demo, especially a Sudoku type puzzle of placing numbered domino type blocks until each row and column had the numbers 1-6, but only 1 per column and row. Another game I enjoyed was drawing a line around sections of blocks with scratch marks, that equalled the sum of 4. There were a few slider type puzzles I skipped, because, like the "Crystal Lens" games of searching the scene for hidden symbols, I personally find them more aggravating than fun. The Bonus Chapter didn't appeal to me either, (playing a General returning from a 5 month mission, and also the son of the old merchant lady in the fountain square) Repeating many of the HOP's within the main game was boring, and having to revisit the same scenes I had just completed, was more than I could bear. Here's a recap of my review to help you decide which version, if either, is right for you:

It's a beautiful day for a romantic rendezvous with your husband Theodore, that is, until a beautiful, much younger, blonde woman swoops in to woo your man, that witch! No seriously, she's a witch, and she's got some serious issues going on. Turns out, this isn't going to be the perfect place to settle down after retirement, well, it could be, but you'll just have to do it solo, cause apparently everyone in town, knows about this home-wrecking witch but you of course, and everyone knows that once she steals your man, he ain't never coming home. I say it's probably for the best, but the show must go on!

The Hidden Object Scenes are varied, but predictable, with Interactive List finds, Silhouetted Shape finds and those famous HOP's where you find 2 sets of multiple items that gives you a tool to use once found, and that tool opens up the remaining object list. You can play a Skipping Stones alternative game, if Hidden Object Puzzles aren't your thing. If you want to earn all Achievements, you will have to play the Skipping Stones game instead of the HOP, at least one time. This is a Chain type Match 3 game where you remove identical colored stones by drawing a line through as many as possible.

The Mini Games are for the most part, easy to solve, and I actually enjoyed the games more after the demo. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:

1) Arrange the wooden boards to cover all gaps, you must use all boards.

2) Click on two clouds at a time to make matches of two identical symbols.

3) Climb up to the window using directional arrows to avoid obstacles (the grunts and groans drove me nutz)

4) Click on 5 semi hidden berries to move the foliage (that's a toughie!)

5) Drag the tokens from the water onto the orange spots, by planning the frog's path so it reaches the lotus flower and avoids snakes.

The Collector's Edition has 8 Wallpapers, 6 Concept Art pictures, 7 Movie Videos, 9 Music Soundtracks, re-playable Skipping Stones games, 25 re-playable Mini Games, 13 re-playable Hidden Object Scenes, a Souvenir Room, 13 Achievements to earn, 34 Hidden Signs (Blue Hearts) 17 Morphing Objects, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter.

A ho-hum game that didn't excite me too much. Graphics were very good, as in all Eipix games. That wasn't enough for this seasoned player, however. Beginners might enjoy it.

I recommend this game!

Storyline

1 / 5

You are with your husband, Theodore, in a row boat and he is hoping the two of you will be able to settle on this attractive little island. And then he puts a hole in your boat. The two of you land and while you are looking around for something to patch the boat, a witch mesmerizes Theodore and takes him to the top of a nearby cliff. By the time you catch up to them he is at the edge of the cliff and then... They are gone. You rush off to the nearby town - getting there involves fixing a ferry. First local you meet tells you that most likely you will never see your husband again. You will need to go to the castle to get information, but you won't get in the front door. She advises climbing in a window. Your quest to find Theodore has started.
Good stuff: There are the usual HOPs, mini-games, and puzzles, along with bright artwork, a very few characters, and a tiny bit of a story.
Bad stuff: The story seems straight forward - until the witch breaks character to ask for help! Now we may have a mystery along with our missing person quest.
The usual logic breaks are glaring - a pair of gloves in a cage behind two vicious dogs to use to climb the raspberry vines on the castle walls to climb in a window the witch came by and broke open minutes before. There's more; check out the Demo.
This looks so much like a whole boat load of other games that I fully understand the charges of several reviewers that this is a cookie cutter game, as that is exactly what it feels like.
Please try the demo for yourself. Show less

I don't recommend this game.
