This is the 3rd one in the series(I think) and it is by far the best one yet.

This is the 3rd one in the series(I think) and it is by far the best one yet. Once you arrive at an old abandoned movie theatre to investigate a disappearance you are quickly sucked into old horror movie classics to find clues to solve the mysteries. I really found this story fascinating and well thought out. It was delightfully difficult to tear myself away from it. The cutscenes of the ghosts are excellent and settings can be customized. If you're able try the collector's edition as it is worth the extra cost with a fun bonus chapter. There's a morph and a collectible to find in each scene, a strategy guide, and the length is satisfyingly long. One of the best games this year thus far for sure. Show less

I recommend this game!

i did not expected much with this new Fright Chasers release , but i was happily surprised to see there was more creativity than in the first two in this series, and it was generally fun to play. Good storyline , well thought out and often well executed with tasty moments, for example a character that turns in loop in one movie , that was funny to see.

i did not expected much with this new Fright Chasers release , but i was happily surprised to see there was more creativity than in the first two in this series, and it was generally fun to play. Good storyline , well thought out and often well executed with tasty moments, for example a character that turns in loop in one movie , that was funny to see.
At times you get smart use of inventory objects , also some good HO scenes. As for the mini-games they are of the easy kind.
I particularly enjoyed the first two chapters set in the movie theatre and in in the first movie (a haunted manor).
The two following chapters in a Far-Western and Japanese settings have a more conventionnal gameplay and then we are back again with more originality with the final chapter.
All in all a satisfying game , i was glad to see some creativity back in a Madhead game. Show less

A nice bit of writing on this one. We begin through a fairly conventional save-the-boyfriend scenario, which we do, and then we enter the real game just about the time we suspect it's over and that we've been subjected to another short cheat.

A nice bit of writing on this one. We begin through a fairly conventional save-the-boyfriend scenario, which we do, and then we enter the real game just about the time we suspect it's over and that we've been subjected to another short cheat. But no, the real game involves redeeming an actress from her own roles on behalf of her lover who has placed her there in an infinite time loop, episodic plot elements somewhat reminiscent of the Redemption Cemetery series.

Pros: Lots to like, graphics, music, and a generous supply of puzzles. Good amount of game play for the buck, and a rather sweet ending.

Cons: Voice acting is often unconvincing. Certain of the puzzles suffer from a lack of direction that leaves the player wondering what in the world the Help text meant. And one tiny one: the bonus object in the scenes is not the traditional Mad Head swirl. Give me my swirl!

Overall, a very enjoyable game that finishes much stronger than it begins. I'd play it again, in fact, I probably will. Show less

I recommend this game!

you have to go into movies to help solve riddles in order save your friend/coworker. they are different scenarios and finally you get them all. i played on the easiest level. pretty good hint system. from time to time it took me awhile to figure out some of the scenes.

I recommend this game!

I loved how different this story was and the overall feel of the game. I like how each section was different and unique, and how the mini games fit into each section. Speaking of mini games, loved the mini games in this one. I didn't find myself bored and trying to skip out, I actually wanted to play. Overall a really fun HOG. Total play time 4hr 45min

I recommend this game!

I would like to point out that back in the day, Mad Head Games was known for its cutting-edge sci-fi plots that were always amazing because of their originality. This plot is neither cutting-edge nor original, it felt as though I was watching an 'old B-rated movie rerun" To make matters worse, the had to add a stupid Flashlight Gadget! Come on MHG, you're way better than this!

I would like to point out that back in the day, Mad Head Games was known for its cutting-edge sci-fi plots that were always amazing because of their originality. This plot is neither cutting-edge nor original, it felt as though I was watching an 'old B-rated movie rerun" To make matters worse, the had to add a stupid Flashlight Gadget! Come on MHG, you're way better than this!

The Hidden Object Scenes are far and few between, this is definitely a puzzle-heavy game. There are Interactive List Finds, Multiple Object Finds, Silhouetted Shape Finds, Matching Pair Finds and Slider types where you align sketched images together using horizontal and vertical slider buttons. In the CE version, each Hidden Object Scene has a Morphing Object to find and you can pick up missing HOP morphs in the CE extras section.

The Mini-Games seemed rather basic and simplistic to me, most of them can be finished within 3-4 steps. Below are brief descriptions of some of the games offered, to show you how basic they really are:

1-Enter the code shown on lock tumblers.
2-Turn disc rings to create a continuous path for all 4 connections.
3-Stop the ball when it's inside the circle.
4-Select the symbols in the order they light up.
5-Remove 2 plants at a time to uncover matching mushrooms.
6-Make the correct number of connections shown on each tile w/o crossing connections.
7-Rotate puzzles and place together using directional arrows.

The Collector's Edition version has 4 Wallpapers, 3 Concept Art pictures, 10 Music Soundtracks, 18 re-playable Hidden Object Scenes, 1 Ultimate Hidden Object Puzzle, 1 Ultimate Puzzle (must complete Collections) 11 Achievements to earn, 18 Hidden Object Scene Morphing Objects, 28 Scene Location Morphing Objects, 28 Collectible Clapboards, 5 Main Chapters +Bonus Chapter.

For the price may as well give it a try. Too old for me. I won't be buying it.

Another reviewer said that this game starts out slowly but I didn't think a game could actually start this slow. Wow!

The game is VERY easy, very slow, and very predictable. And why do all of the characters have to sway? Do you sway when you talk? Geez, let them stand still!

Play the demo and see for yourself. I'm glad I did and saved myself some money.

I don't recommend this game.

Yes, another gadget, and this time it's a flashlight to shine the ghosts away. Yawn.

I have to agree with penmom36, this plot is neither cutting-edge nor original. Neither are the puzzles and hidden object scenes. I found everything about this game to be one big bore. If it gets more interesting after the demo, I'll never know. It's a no-buy for me.

I don't recommend this game.
