    This game has some great puzzles. Most puzzles are fairly easy, but they do have a few that are really hard. The good part is there is no limit for trying to solve them. Some of the search puzzles (where you need to do-this to get-that, kinda thing) are illogical and I needed to use a couple hints to figure out what I was supposed to do. You can play in a timed or relaxed mode. The relaxed mode will give you more hints. You can also switch between timed and relaxed at any time. The game is relatively short. Overall this is a nice game with good graphics and fun puzzles. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Nothing special about this one. Plusses: plenty of hints, interesting time switching, objects not intentionally impossible to find. Minuses: WAY SHORT; usual ridiculous plotline (beginning to realize they mostly all are hare-brained stories); very limited HO play. I didn't mind that they list the tasks to do, although more experienced gamers might object to this feature. Pretty humdrum overall. C+ Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Another Day, Another Not-4-Me Game! I've seen MUCH Dream Chronicles-like (Azada-like & MB-like, too) games since 2008: Natalie Brooks, Magic Encyclopedia, Treasure Island and Alabama Smith from Alawar (and Hidden Secrets, Escape the Museum, Laura Jones, Crystal Portal from others). ALL are 3.5, fun and "abrupt ending". But NONE of them could be a true "inheritor" of Dream series. I HATE MoneyGames!!! Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Frustrating gameplay, illogical puzzles and lousy hint system! I gave up before even finishing the demo. So many better interactive HOGs out there! Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Good story but way to short! I bought the game thinking it would be longer. I solved it in a very short amount of time and with a terrible ending. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Good story and variety. I liked that there were a variety of puzzles, though most were pretty easy. But there were a few tougher ones. I had no trouble figuring out what to do next, just some experiementing was needed. I liked that I wasn't spoon fed everything. Hints recharge quickly. On the minus side is thevery short length (gameplay about 1 2/2-2 hours tops) padded by slow story panels you couldn't skip. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    The game was fun enough, although sometimes lacking instructions as to what to do next. Way too short. Without following the story I finished in one hour and 10 minutes. I am glad I did not buy this game. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Great game but disappointed with length - should have been twice as long to have been worth the $. Seems to be a trend lately; lower quality or lower quantity. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    I just played the game and I thought it was a lot of fun. Maybe not the most difficult HO ever made but still interesting. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Just played the demo for Alabama Smith in Escape from Pompeii, If I had money on my credit card it would be mine now. It's challenging and fun. The only thing that was a pain in the **** were the character speechs took to long for me I just wanted to keep playing the game. Will definitely be buying it as soon as I can even willing to pay the full price. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Great fun! I just played the demo and really loved it. The relaxed mode is wonderful. The combination of HO, minigames and getting you to use your creativity and imagination are a marvelous balance. I will buy this, but will wait until it gets to BFG, since Alawar has no discount program (Game Club). (I contacted Alawar with another inquiry a few months back, and was told that if it is an Alawar game, BFG will eventually get it.) Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    I really loved this one - only played the demo but it's on my list to buy. It has a nice combination of puzzles, mini-games and tasks and the graphics are nice. Interesting animation effects for the characters with the storyline. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    I have Alawar beta and truly love this game. Nice innovation: labels on the hidden objects! And hints tell you next task to do. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate
