REVIEW BASED ON COMPLETED GAME IN 2nd (Advanced) of 3 modes), black bar hints, but no sparkles.
SUMMARY
--------------
This game is a grabber from the first cut-scene when an old man sitting by a toasty fire discovers more in his book than dust mites.
The story quickly moves to what is now a defunct town crawling with Zombies all in need of something before they will help as well as the Museum where the ancient and bony ship resides.
Though the subject matter might sound gruesome, the game is not. The scenes are bright and beautiful, with humor and whimsy woven throughout game play.
Even the music is terrific! Go Figure. --a mix of Jazzy Piano and Spooky strings (Not unlike "Tubular Bells" from the original Exorcist movie).
The artwork/graphics design, Voice Overs, Cut Scenes, and music were harmonized to maintain an ambiance of mystery, intrigue, and a little bit o' the creepy while keeping tongue firmly planted in cheek.
There was a good balance between iHOS, mini-game, and adventure and had the bells and whistles many expect from CEs these days.
DETAILS
--------------------
STORYLINE: First and foremost for me was having bits and pieces around the fantastic discovery of the ship of bones, infighting to make it available to the public before proper analysis, a mysterious psychic, leak out from various sources.
THEME & AMBIANCE: The artwork, characters such as a ferocious ice dog with spikes like a porcupine, and icy-crackly sound effects, really got across that IT WAS COLD. Those who chill easily or who are fed up with Winter themes might want to wear an extra pair of socks or play the game in the summer! :)
ARTWORK, DESIGN, GRAPHICS: I was a little reminded of H.R. Giger the guy who created the creatures for the movie Alien, only the creatures in this game are very cool looking but not gruesome or dark. Designers THANKS for thoroughly utilizing various areas within each scene rather than leaving a number of "pass-through" scene that might be nice to see but otherwise don't seem to have much purpose.
FIRE BOOK: I am not sure what I think of this gimmick, but the book sits on the lower left of the screen. When supernatural help is needed runes appear that must be matched against scenes already visited. Completing this would ignite the book to overcome cursed areas, Ice Dogs, and other enemies.
JUMP MAP: The simple, elegant design of having Polaroid style photos of scenes visited and which of these has available actions. Without it, there would be a lot of schlepping to locate runes when time to ignite the book.
SIDE-KICK: There is Hamlet, an aged Raven with bifocals helps reach things making sassy comments and adding story details. - I just wish they'd let us keep the gaff so we could reach things on our own! :)
COLLECTIBLES/ACHIEVEMENTS: There are 22 Goblins to seek and find. There are achievements it seems for just about everything because boxes seemed to pop up all over the place.
IHOS a plenty: Areas were typically used only once which I always appreciate. The scenes were beautiful and rich in detail. -No junk pile style, no overcrowding. Interaction was basic, feeding a mouse to get a "sated mouse" or stacking Russian dolls, move curtain to reveal, etc.
MINI-GAMES: These were all well done, beautifully designed and detailed, with a variety of games from the familiar piece together a photo or arrange tiles to make a picture to some new ones which would be tough to describe here. Though puzzles are my favorite so I avoid skipping any, but made exceptions for this game.
ADVENTURE: There are a lot of areas to explore, a lot of items to collect, and some cool things to construct. I had to double back a couple of times for items I had missed.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND: I appreciate the originality, the incredible graphics, artwork, and design and what must have been Herculean efforts that went in to this game. Show less

GAME COMPLETED TWICE
Forgive me I couldn’t resist. How about:
Interesting, Engrossing, & Beautiful
I loved the opening video to this game, but I’m blowed if I understand its relevance to the story that follows. The story was handled particularly well, I thought. Not just dialogue, but also video, notes and narration from the ‘respected Raven’ Hamlet, spread out well throughout the game. Never boring, even on my second playing. I like what this series does with slightly exotic legends, adding a little credibility to the story through recognisable bad guys.
Everyone else has told you how beautiful this game certainly is, its graphics, cutscenes and sound content are all first class. Have just finished my second playing, and I’m as thrilled as the first. And tired – this is a long game. There weren’t so many locations, but there was a lot to do in each, with plenty of interactive HOs and new, intriguing but not overly difficult puzzles.
Some of what makes this game special is the Book Of Fire. Not only is it an invaluable weapon against this icy goddess, it comes with a new type of mini-game that is excellent fun. I hope to see more of it. The game also has few of the usual clichés – I’m not sure, but I think there was only code to collect.
Although it has no journal, it’s not missed, and the interactive jump map will get you where you need to go.
Bonus Content Review *****
Bonus game play was short (about 25% of the main game), included 4 new locations and 7 old ones (but they were all radically altered). The story itself is a little odd, more fanciful than the main game, but fun anyway. I’m glad I bought the CE.
The other extras included are:
Strategy Guide – very good. I didn’t use it often, but to push for all the achievements, I used it instead of Hint
Achievements – The usual
Collectible Goblins – Not easy to find, 22 in all, one per scene. Last page of SG will give locations.
Wallpaper (excellent), Screensaver, Concept Art, Music
I recommend this as a CE game! Show less

I actually did not like the first two "Hallowed Legend" games, but this one gripped me from the beginning and didn't let go until the end of the bonus play. MANY places to explore, the hidden object scenes were great. They were fun without being a strain on my older eyes.

I actually prefer games with lots of back and forth, so I never got tired of that OR used the map to transport. It's fun to remember where everything is you need to do or collect.
The game is meant to be a bit spooky, but the scenes are lovely, not dark or gloomy. HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!!! Show less

Although we've been down this road before--an uninhabited and deserted city due to an evil sorceress who steals souls, Elephant Devs make for entertaining games and this one is no exception.
Interactive map, collecting "items" and achievements. I don't ever remember another game where a hidden object scene could be skipped, however, Adventure gamers may enjoy being able to skip one or two in Hallowed Legends: Ship of Bones.
Very encouraging that Devs listen to us gamers and try to provide something fun for everyone!
Enjoy! -Mama Mia-

I am a big fan of the Hallowed Legends series and this one might even top the list! What's not to like, scary eerie scenery, creepy music, hidden goblins and zombies all in the same game! There are 22 hidden goblins throughout the game and they have done a nice job hiding them. There are achievements for not using the hint button during HO's, not skipping puzzles, and finding different items in the game and more. The HO's are interactive such as picking up the cheese and placing it on the mousetrap, and they have done a super job of blending the hidden objects without making the items fuzzy or to dark. I liked the puzzles because they were easy to do and fun such as rotating a wheel full of colored marbles to have 3 of one color touch each other to remove those marbles. There are also subtle clues of numbers or pictures in some of the areas that will be used later in the game, but don't worry it is written in your journal. There is a map that allows you to travel between locations and has photos of each area you have explored and the photo is in color if you have a task to do in that area otherwise the photo is a brownish color. You meet a crow with glasses that is the towns historian and fills you in on details during the game about an exploration team that unearths an ancient book with great powers. When your plane crashed outside a cursed town where an evil woman was stealing the townspeople's souls and leaving behind zombie skeletons, your friend was injured and this mysterious woman took his soul as well. Now it is up to you to save him and the town before it's too late! Show less

Well worth the wait for this next Hallowed Legends game. Elephant games has not let us down. Loved it. There is so much to do and remember. You do get a little helper which is nice. You also get to collect goblins as you go along. The story line is just creepy enough and full of twists and turns. Very interesting things to do and the HOG are challenging. I highly recommend this game.

When I first saw the preview video for this game I was a bit uncertain that it would be good as I thought it was going to have a lot of annoying 'real people' in it like the old man in the chair. However I was somewhat intrigued so I bought it.
I was way wrong. This turned out to be a fantastic game! I love games that have snow and icy scenes in them but that was just a part of the journey I was taken on in this brilliant game. I am a huge fan of Nordic sagas, Gods & Goddesses, etc and the portrayal of the Goddess Hel was very good here.
I loved the raven that gets added to the inventory to aid you to acquire many objects throughout the game.
The mini games where good and not over hard or annoying, the HOS where also good and not too many of them like some games.
There where hidden goblins to find, The Book of Fire that you match cut outs to images where great.
The interactive map was great.
All the graphics where excellent and great soundtrack.
The bonus chapter was also great. Where you have the Raven assistant and Hel's loyal familiar Garm both added to the inventory to perform more tasks and obtain items for you.
There was so much to do and it was fun!!
I wont give anymore away get it now!!
This is now my favorite game:) Show less
