Who are you in your dreams? And if you have to wake up to defeat evil? You were chosen to help free precious elements like air, fire, water, but be careful - Panoptes will try to stop you! Excellent and crisp graphics, very good story, great sound and VO, this game will hold you on the screen. Interactive HOS, good level of challenge. New and entertaining mini games, good level of challenge too. 3 play modes. It has a Journal and an interactive map. You'll collect cute pets, which can be modified (legs, arms, head ...) and also collect coins to buy clothes and accessories for them. You will get also a magic potion and with it you will have powers like hidden things, break spells, etc. A game full of excitement and entertainment. Definitely goes to my collection

We are the ?chosen one? and we have to free the mages to restore Azada?s elements water, fire and air?. Just one word: excellent!!! Yes, this is meanwhile the 4th game of this series and ERS did a good job!! Very detailed, crisp and clear ERS-like graphics and welldone voice-overs. 3 modes to choose from (can be changed during the game). Interactive map with tasklist, which allows you to travel and a very detailed journal. Hint shows you the direction, where to go next and refills quite fast, at least in the 2nd mode. We have a great variety of different (not too challenging) puzzles along the way and yes: this time a few hidden object scenes also? (I know, this will disappoint the ?hard-core? Azada fans?. But after ERS took over this game, they changed the whole ?look?: Some will love it, others not?) Gameplay is fluently, most of the found items are used soon. Soon we?ll get a magic bottle, attached to the inventory. When it starts to glow, you are able to pick it up and move it around to find hidden areas and/ or use the magic potion. Loved that!!:) Inventory can be locked, so it won?t disappear at the bottom. A cute (not really necessary, but fun:)) extra is our pet friend which you may customize and/or mix it: you can choose from cat, owl, panda and dragon. And from these pets their different parts, as head, arms, wings, body and tail. During the game, you will find so-called critter coins, whith which you can buy clothes for your pet? Another nice extra is our collection of Azada?s dwellers? Not the Azada that we used to know, but I loved playing it!!!! Didn't regret this buy:))

BASED ON OH-SO-LABORIOUSLY COMPLETED GAME Everyone and their sidekick has reviewed this one, but I?m putting in my two cents? worth anyway. I would have recognized this as an ERS game within seconds. One look and you know. And three bars of the music as well. I do think I caught one track that didn?t sound like either Azada or ERS. But I would have recognised it as an Azada game in my sleep. Why are these games so darned hard? I love the idea, so I keep buying them, but they are way beyond my abilities! The story, I think, is this game?s weak spot. While it remains the appealing lost-in-book tale of all the Azada games, it seemed a bit strained in this one, and no feeling whatsoever of being in a book rather than the many alternate worlds faced in other games. I believe a fifth in this series would be hard pressed to sound credible. If, as the arguments say, this is Azada-for-dummies, because we have HOs now, then pass me the dunce?s hat. I found even the HOs to be some of the hardest I?ve played! I was overwhelmed too, by the sheer volume and creativity of the many puzzles and mini-games. Such colour, variety, imagination! Wow! In the battle between the pre or post ERS, I weigh strongly in favour of ERS. This is the most beautiful and imaginative endeavour from them yet, and was way better than the earlier Azada in visuals. As a fan, I?m also proud to see ERS finally break out of the mould and introduce features like the interactive jump map and all those unusual extras in the Bonus Content. I?m still trying to work what to do with the Azada in Colour, but the Azada Dwellers volume was an excellent idea! Now, ERS, to get my unreserved Best & Bravest Hero award for most adventurous developer, I just need you to lose the female voice actor you?ve been using shamelessly in every game I can think of. She was never to my liking to begin with, but now I cringe whenever there?s dialogue. Bonus Content Review ***** I?d forgotten to mention that I managed w

Played 45 minutes, casual - 3 modes, casual, advanced, fearless hereo, you can change mode while playing - Extras show bonus play, wall papers, concept art, screensavers, mini games, H0, video, music - Integrated SG which only shows 3 chapters - Notebook - Shortly after starting the game you get an interactive map - You get a pet, you've got to name it, decide of his age and home town. You must collect critter coins to buy him accessories - Throughout the game you collect different animals - Voice overs - Excellent music - Gorgeous graphics - H0 in this version, interactive, items that require an action are written in red and not easy to read - Good mini games - Hint refills quickly casual mode, didn't try it outside H0 You're the chosen one, up to you to solve Azada's problems. This looks like an excellent game and is a straight buy for me.

Poor devs. If they make a sequel using the same format as the prequel, they get "Same old same old." If they make it with a different format, it's "Oh, no, they've changed it." Can't catch a break. All the Azada games are different from each other anyway, so I don't understand which one this should be the same as. I played it as a stand-alone and judge it on it's own merits, which are considerable. ERS is to be commended for all that they are put into this excellent game, and not many are acknowledging that. Not so long ago, we got a 4 hr standard main game and a 1 hr BC. In their last game they included collectibles for the first time. In this one, they have included everything anyone could ever ask for, again for the first time. These are not being appreciated so I am going to list them:- You get a special pet, which you can design yourself, from a whole gamut of different creatures parts. It is not a helper, but an addition. It speaks animalese so it is translated for you. This pet will appear randomly in-game and speak one simple sentence which you simply click on to end it. I cannot see these seconds long speeches as anything negative. You collect coins throughout the game to buy clothes for it because it is feeling the cold, of which there are many unique styles and colours. It should be noted that you do not HAVE to do this if you don't want to. You can just ignore it. There is a special book and when you encounter an exotic animal it goes into that book, with a some info about it on the other page. Again, you do not have to take any notice of this. There are amulet parts to collect, which go into the holder next to the inventory. Once you have found them all they are used to break the spells cast by Panoptes. You carry a magic potion with you that lights up when you have to use it and reveals hidden areas for puzzles and items. There is a very good jump map which shows different areas in picture form, such as completed, objectives, undiscovered and incomp

One of the first games I ever bought from BF was on 28/9/07, and it was the first Azada. I also bought the other two. This release came out of the blue, didn't even know it was coming. This one is the best. The game just flows along and I found the mini games different, sharper, so interesting that thinking I would save it for later found I only had 6 minutes left to play. Its all good for me and its a definite buy. I don't mind the pets you collect as I wont be dressing them up, they are an added plus to the fun side of this game. If you haven't tried Azada before, give it a go, definitely worth a try.

Boy will you be busy with this game. It is beautifully drawn, sound and voice is good. You will be kept busy throughout this game. HOG's are well done and some are not easy, and alot of things to do along the way for different creatures and people you meet. There is a map that makes "traveling" much easier and you will see where you have to go later on in the game. It really is a fun game but you have to think about what you are doing and remember what is coming up. I won't bother with the blow by blow as that is covered very well in other reviews. I hope you like it as much as I did. Enjoy!!

This is a really fun game. It has all the bells and whistles. There is a really cute (squirrel?) that you can make it look any way you want. You can give it a name, find coins to add clothes and accessories. The puzzles and hidden object scenes are fun and challenging. I really think you'll like this one. Give it a try.

This is the danger of being part of a series. Each is compared to the other, and complaints start usually at the third game. I believe that the reason many of the people are being negative about this is that is didn't follow the same formula of the first two Azadas, which were similar. But, why should it? We've done that already. Don't we dog on developers when they offer the same, old formulaic games? This was a wonderful game, worthy of the Azada series. It was the only game I've ever played at BFG where I paid any attention to the storyline, and that's because this was such a good one. Azadas steal my heart for being true adventure games. In this one, there are several HOGs, but they are few in comparison with the great, innovative mini-games offered. Every part of this Azada is challenging. I am an expert player and I play on the hardest levels offered in every game, yet I still go through them mindlessly. Don't check your brain at the door with this one; it was truly challenging and I loved that. I really had to think in this one, but it wasn't hard. There is a difference between being challenging and being hard. There were a couple of things I thought were not the greatest here. As always, I opted to skip the tutorial, but I was still having to tell this game to skip the tutorial well into the Bonus Level and right up until the end of the game. The HOGs were well done, and I hate HOGs. but a few were confusing because, for instance, in one it asked for a bird and there were a hand-drawn bird in flight, an owl, and an actual image of a bird in the scene. That's three birds. There were a few things like that. A minor annoyance, but it was there so I must mention it. I enjoyed how the movement flowed. I always shake my head when I read reviews where people say, "I didn't like all the running around and going back and forth." Let's consider that for a moment: what else would you do in a game like these? You've got to move from place to place, so what's the pr

Wow, BFG and ERS have really "pulled it out of the hat" and given us such a beautiful game. Well done!! IMHO, the developer has added so many extras and special touches to this game that it would be a shame to miss getting the CE. As always, the graphics are great but we have even more imagination and color in Adaza Elemental. Not only do we have a furry helper, we get to name him and then find achievements throughout the game to build a wardrobe. How fun. As a first for this developer, we have an interactive map. Kudos for this addition because it makes it so much easier to navigate. I'm not going to go into all the details but will just say that I think this is truly a CE in all ways. Love the game and suggest that you at least try the demo and see if it is right for you.
