Speaking as an artist, I recommend this game on the quality of scenery & color as well as the game itself. The entire game draws me into a fantasy land that maximizes my interest. The haunting music adds to the over all beauty of this game. My favorite so far.........

Odd to write a review on a Strategy Guide, but when I noticed the opportunity, I thought why not? I usually base decisions on purchases using reviews, trial and walkthrough, but the walkthrough is always such a pain loading etc. Today I tried the SG instead. If it is a good SG it will allow you to get a feel for the game - you can see whether the visuals are up to your standard, if the HOs and puzzle balance is to your liking, if it's a long enough game. Heaps of stuff. This one certainly seemed fit the bill. Mini-games looked as though they were explained well, and it is very clear what the atmosphere of the game will be like. It is also an advertisement for the game. This game looks to be really beautiful. I had written this game off after finding out it was a fragments HO game. I generally don't like them. But after trialing this I'm not so sure. The pieces seem to be fairly easily identifiable, and there a lots of HOs. I might just get it. I'm sorry, Felix, I'm sure that's not what you have in mind for SGs. Still, already I'm thinking of those times when I kick myself for not buying the CE, when I am finding the puzzles really hard. Now, an SG bought at a sale price or with a coupon doesn't seem such a bad idea.

very challenging and just long enough. totally injoyed this game.

I enjoyed this game. The puzzles were different and the graphics were great. The music I liked while playing. I like not being creeped out. The puzzles really unique which was fun to do something different. I highly recommend this game. A little short though in comparison.
