I rarely leave reviews. This one I had to. This is a great game. It took a long time to complete, which I love. It was interesting how you "changed" through the game. My only issue is that the mini games were very easy. I played on the most difficult level and got through them all with no problem. Happy Gaming :)

I recommend this game!

THE STORYLINE IS RATHER DULL AND UNINTERESTING

fromI could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Vikings didn't have a hardware store to buy pre-made eye-hooks!

Storyline

3 / 5

The Seer has just had a dire vision about "The Wild Hunt" a vision of Death and Despair. The Hunt is interfering with the rules the gods have set, and the gods are angry. The Shield-Maiden is eager to take on The Hunt, she is prepared to do whatever it takes to defend the Nine Worlds. Stories of the Wild Hunt prophecy have been passed down for generations in The Huntresses Clan, and she has agreed to visit the elders to gather vital knowledge to help them on their quest. The Skald is ready, willing, and able, to play a song??? It's hard to take this game seriously when all these epic visions and battle-ready characters inspire everyone, and then the camera pans to the Skald who's casually strumming a tune and say's "Surely this shall be an event worthy of a song" Seriously?? That's easy for him to say, does he have to walk around with antlers strapped to his back having visions of doom and gloom? Does he have to carry a large wooden shield and defend everyone from Dragons to otherworldly creatures? Does he have to Hunt down prey from wild Boars to Giant Bears? Nope, he's just sitting around waiting to play a stupid song once the battles been fought!

The Hidden Object Scenes are fairly mia in this puzzle-heavy game. The scenes themselves are located in interesting locations, and for the most part, are well done and story related. There are Silhouetted Shape finds, Keywords in Sentence finds and one where you must find the correct faces on several figurines. In the Collector's Edition version, each scene has a Morphing Object to find, and the morphs are slow and well concealed.

The Mini-Games are more abundant than the HOP's in this game. Personally, I found many of them to be far to easy to solve, some of which have lengthy, and/or confusing directions. If you choose to Skip a game, you'll still have to wait and watch a step by step replay of how it's solved. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games you'll encounter during the demo:

1) Select identical buttons in the same horiz/vert/diag line.
2) Use a viewfinder to locate & focus all rock formations.
3) Shoot all sandbags when target crosshairs turn green.
4) Plan correct sequence using attack/defend/heal icons.
5) Match all tokens to remove them.
6) Replicate a sculpture by choosing the correct designs.
7) Drag tokens along tracks to their matching slots.
8) Choose 2 stones that have the correct symbol sections shown.

The Collector's Edition has 8 Wallpapers, 4 Concept Art pictures, 8 Character pictures (split dev/character) 8 Music Soundtracks, 11 Movie Videos, 13 Achievements to earn, a Journal (w/characters) 14 re-playable Hidden Object Scenes, 29 re-playable Mini-Games, a Bonus Game, 20 Souvenir's to collect in the Souvenir Room, 14 HOP Morphing Objects, 37 Hidden Signs (different signs in each of the World's you visit) 4 Main Chapters +Bonus Chapter and a built-in Strategy Guide, enjoy!

Too many bugs. Gameplay tedious and repetitive.

I really like this series because the storyline is engaging and the graphics are pure eye candy. However, I didn't like that nearly every puzzle was based on symbols; the lack of variety became monotonous by the time the demo was over.

Additionally, there are several bugs that need exterminating. The fight with the bear seemed to go on forever with no instruction about what the point was. When ...Show more

Additionally, there are several bugs that need exterminating. The fight with the bear seemed to go on forever with no instruction about what the point was. When I finally won after nearly 15 minutes, I had no idea why I'd won, except that instead of countering the bear's moves, I mimicked them. It didn't make sense.

Next, in the custom difficulty level, neither the hint nor skip buttons functioned, even though I specified zero waiting time. When I changed the waiting time to 10 seconds, it took almost a minute for them to charge. Clearly, this is a bug.

Lastly, most of the puzzles are repeats, but designed to take ten times as long to solve. The skald's "fill all lines without retracing your path" was incredibly tedious, since each time I chose a line, I had to wait for the bottle-pouring animation. I don't find this an improvement on this standard puzzle.

Love the production and the storyline, but the gameplay was repetitive and slow. This one needs to go back to the drawing board for debugging. Show less

I think this is the best out three in this series. At least I could figure things out during game play. 26 mini-games and 12 hops. I'm a hops girl, so it's too puzzle heavy but I did like playing the harp and shooting arrows. 4 chapters. I was into it and got bored in the later chapters.

Try it for yourself. Of course no extras for the standard version.
