I had loads of fun with this game, great for a beginner
Even though there is good versus evil, this is not a dark game.

I've been waiting for months to buy this game, and finally got the chance to due to the Christmas sales. I must say, it was well worth the wait! This is a good game, and I can see why people praise it so highly.

The story is great. It starts off ominously, and you know straight away that something evil is going on. Then, the game begins, and you are called to the palace of the Emperor by his brother Lei, who is very worried. He tells you that the Emperor's son, Jinhai, has been poisoned and asks you to heal him. At first, this seems straightforward: All you have to do is heal him and go home, right? WRONG! The story takes a great twist at the end of the demo that leaves you on a cliffhanger.
After the demo, the story takes a much lighter turn, and you are sent to someone known as The Wise One, a blue dragon, who will tell you how to defeat the villain. After speaking to him, you must find the ritual that will ultimately heal Jinhai before it is too late...
I have to say, what really impressed me about this story was the villain. The villain was one of the best that I've ever seen in any game to date. The villain's story was told during the beginning of the game, so you can clearly understand their motives, but what made the villain so exciting was that they did not pop up during every scene, but rather, you encountered them only a few times. I was always thinking “How long until I bump in to them?” or “when will I see them next?” It was just awesome. Credit to the developer for the genius to create such an amazing villain.
Other than that, the story is quite nice, and does end conclusively, so there's no need for the bonus chapter. The action is mostly in the first hour, and then it gets quieter. However, I still found the story enjoyable.

The gameplay is great too. I had quite a lot of fun with this game. The HOS were standard junkpile, with a couple of extra-step objects in each one. In each HOS, you also had the option of switching to a game of Mahjong. The HOS were not too difficult, but I enjoyed them quite a lot. There were quite a few HOS in the game, but not too many that it became annoying. I think there was the right amount in the game.
The puzzles were good too, but a little bit too challenging for me personally. That didn't stop them being fun. I enjoyed attempting each one of them.
In this game, there is something new and awesome called Healer's Kit. It is used for mixing things in to potions/dust, etc. Whenever there is an item found, you place it in the healers kit, and a fun minigame begins. This is not a puzzle, as there is no challenge to it, but it's still a great addition. I loved it every time I got to use it.
Other than the new feature, this is your standard HOPA.

The graphics are pretty good. They are well-drawn and very detailed. Everything is clear, especially the character designs. The only issue I have is with things not being accurate to the setting. It is set in China, but the girl, Bo, is wearing a kimono, which is Japanese.
I have some issues with the voice-overs too. Most of them are accurate, but Bo's voice is clearly American, which kind of annoyed me. The voice-over for Bo repeatedly mispronounced Jinhai ( which should be pronounced Jin-high) as Jin-hey or Jinnae, which was terrible. If they're going to create a Chinese game, they should at least make sure the names are pronounced the way the Chinese would pronounce them.

FEATURES
3 modes of difficulty: Casual, Challenging and Insane. I played Casual.
Hint/Skip- both recharge relatively fast for Casual. Hint is useful outside HOS, and also acts as a portal, as it can teleport you to the location where you need to be.
Diary- used to keep track of events. Not used too often, but is used enough.
Map- interactive and lets you know where there is a task to be completed. Very helpful.
Healer's Kit- This is very fun. It is used somewhere between 5-10 times in the game. When an item needs to be mixed, a minigame begins.

Overall, I was extremely pleased with this game. It's well deserving of its praise, and could seriously be given game of the year. I think the SE is the better buy, because in the CE, you only miss out on achievements/colletibles and the usual BC stuff, but I think you'll be happy with either game. It gets a well deserved 5 from me. I was going to give it a 4, but I don't think my issues with the character of Bo should take a star away from this game. I think I should also mention the Closing Credits. They are very entertaining, and not the usual boring stuff. Don't miss them!

ON THE GAME LENGTH
The game was about 3 hours on Casual mode, which is my ideal game length. Show less

I recommend this game!

It could have been more challenging, perhaps, but I chose to do casual mode. There are two, more difficult, modes to chose from, so I could've had harder gameplay if I so desired.

The scenes were lovely, the HOs were legible, the puzzles could be skipped (a must!), the music was pleasant and the voice-overs were not too bad. This is definitely a keeper, as I know I will play it again. I am looking forward to the next installment of Myths of the World. Hurry please! Show less

This review is based on the CE version , I found it to be a very good game, and as I do not buy CE games very often. I can say it was worth the extra, so the SE should be very good.
