After trying an unknown number of newer HO games, this one forced me to use the "Hint" button several times, something I rarely do and still UAdespise. For me a HO game is successful for it's ability to challenge my mind, as "cinematic bursts" are quickly forgotten. This title retains a firm grip on hiding clues, more complex puzzle solutions and challenging tasks while still providing a creative atmosphere for your adventure, despite perhaps lacking visual effects often overused in other titles. However, this game does not rely on the standard collection of "lock and key" methods and predictable puzzles which seem to dominate newer games which depend more on visual atmosphere and surprises to impress you. Graphics have come a long way and it only takes a few years to provide developers with giant leaps in visual effects. As a newbie, I loved the first one but thought that after purchasing and playing over 200 HO Games and Demos since that time, this game would seem old and tired.
You will wonder why it took so long to find these treasures.Ī Surprise! Still Kills A Lot of Newer Games I played (and purchased),the original Weird Park, (Broken Tunes), game when I began playing HO several years ago and for some reason, did not notice that this sequel and another had come out. So if you have a few PCCs available, then go and get this series. Oh, how I wish all games were like this - great graphics, story-line and that sense of urgency to help the children. If you do get stuck, you can look in the walkthrough on-line. There is no interactive map in this game but it doesn't matter because you are only going to a few scenes at a time before you move on, so you won't get lost.Īll up, the game took me a good 9 hours to do - playing all the HOPs and mini-games without skipping or hinting, so really good value for your buck. Some of them you think are going to be easy turns out to be harder than you think. I've seen them all before but I loved doing them again. There are a huge amount of mini-games to play - ranging from easy to quite hard. The hidden object games are ever so slightly interactive straightforward which you will do twice. Sound is good and the music is orchestral (which sounds identical to the Ravenhearst music). Items are clear to find and the scenery is gorgeous. The graphics are very good - its a colourful game with plenty to look at in each scene. Its a long game with plenty to do in each scene. This game is spectacular and has everything you could wish for. I WISH ALL GAMES WERE LIKE THIS REVIEW OF COMPLETED GAME
