I played (and bought) CE. The difference between CE and SE is that the CE has integrated SG, and offers bonus chapter and bonus mini games. Help the princess to find her pets, who disappeared in a strange way and solve the secret of the Minotaur. Gorgeous, crisp and colorful graphics, very good sound, great cutscenes, excellent VO, outstanding locations and curious characters. Good amount of interactive HOS. Good amount too of really enjoyable mini games , and some are very cute, like "the dwarves". Is more Adventure than HOS. You have to explore lots of beautiful locations. Three play modes. Seven chapters. The game is not really challenging but is extremely fun and entertaining. A great deal !! Recommended !
I bought this with out trying it because the others were so good. This one is pretty much like the others. Has voice over and the graphics are good. Nice music. This is a pretty easy game. Did not use the hint button because it has a good flow and things are easy to find and figure out. Not a lot of going all over the place. HOS are good and the puzzles are not all that hard. A good game.
I bought the game before playing the demo and am I glad that I did. I loved this game. The developers got this one right . I loved the graphics. The scenes were beautiful and bright. It was fun and the puzzles were not so challenging that they made you frustrated. Not too much going back and forth. And it was different from the usual hidden object games. I also loved the animals that you could care for and get help. I am a fan of the fragmented hidden objects and would like to have had some of that in the game but overall I was more than satisfied with this game. More games like this please.
As the princess destined to defeat the evil Mortis in the neighboring kingdom, the adventure to bring her defeat took about 3 ? hours to complete. Feed the recovered pets for help in pursuing your goal. Good ratio of HOS (list-based) and HOPs (interactive silhouettes, where placing one silhouette correctly releases another silhouette until you get the final goodie). Puzzles were of varying difficulty; a couple of them had instructions which were difficult to understand unless you?ve come across them before, but you can use the skip button. Found ISA to be a paradox ? was he playing both sides of the coin or merely using his wiles to lure you into Mortis? kingdom? Still perplexed about that, which is okay. Good graphics and voice overs. Peppy music. Nicely produced values.
I had a blast playing this game, magnificently done. All of you that have interest in mystery adventure with a little horror should consider playing this game. The good : excellent story keeps your attention from begging to the very end( by finding VHS tapes you reveal part of the story) nice graphics, lots of interesting locations( almost every location has light and dark side, so basically by switching lights on or of you have two different locations in one) challenging puzzles, mostly brainteasers hidden object scenes- 2 types- standard( find listed objects) and one where you have to find right place for displayed objects the bad: no map constantly consulting your journal for codes and similar music is annoying, a bit monotone
if you are tired of gore and horror, this is the game for you. who doesn't need a little bit of majic in thier world. ERS you have done it again. I don't usually comment on the games, but would like to encourage BF to put forth more of this type. I play games for relaxation and entertainment, not to be disgusted.
I enjoyed the CE demo and couldn't wait for the SE version to come out and my wait if over. I just finished the demo and definitely was not disappointed and will purchase. The graphics are very well done, music is very nice even though I always turn the music down as I find it irritable in any game but like it slightly in the background. Since I have not completed the game, I do not know the playing time, but this developer always has nice length of play. I can't remember the developer, but I checked "Other Games" button and found I have lots of them games and I really like everyone that I have purchased. If I have a complaint, it would be that there are very few HO games and I want one in every location as it is my fav thing to do. Puzzles were fairly simple, which makes me happy as I can do without puzzles. I will definitely have my eye out for the new games from this developer,
I loved the CE but it's a tight $ month so I've been waiting for the SE to arrive. It's a very interesting story to rescue your favorite animals and discover how this involves a minotaur and a couple other nasties. The artwork is beautiful and no dark gloomy scenery. Extra cleaver that these cute magic animals give you some bonus help. I've found 1 of the little guys during the trial hour so I'll be buying this right now to continue the search. Enchanting!
First of all, I thought this game was stunning. The movie sequences, character animations and voice-overs were well done. The creatures were beautiful throughout. HOS and mini-games were of average difficulty. Lots of items were collected and utilized often. It was a pleasure to move forward to each general area without the extreme back and forth. Although I did temporarily get stuck a couple of times. The flow of the game was cohesive.I usually play darker themed games and have only recently started playing more fantasy. The story is light and a lot of fun. I loved this game; it made me want to play more. Can't wait to get to the other Spirits of Mystery.
This is a fun game, nothing too dark for a change. Lots of puzzles and a few interactive hog scenes. Good story - seems to be a continuation of a previous game (which I can't remember at the moment but it's familiar characters). Nice music - unobtrusive and fitting. Voiceovers, good artwork, smooth gameplay - there was no choppiness in cut scenes and no freezes or hangups. The hint system works nice and there are 3 levels of challenge to choose from, you can turn off the custom cursor and there's a widescreen option. Sound levels for music, ambience and voice. Definite buy for me.
