Haunted Legends: The Secret of Life
Based on the Beta (as of 10/9)
Wow. Followed by several moments of silence. Then ........... another ... w - o - w.
St. Germaine has been very ill. He now only has 1 week to live so he has been searching in vain (so far) for the Secret of Life which is supposed to be in ...... the ............. h-o-u-s-e.
The game has some very new nuances to it. For instance, you will be asked a question .... or perhaps YOU will have to ask a question ...... and you have 2 choices. How will the choice YOU make affect the outcome of the game? Or will it? Hmmmm.
Casual, Advanced, Hard and Custom difficulties.
HOGS (hidden object games) were mostly list items - not very interactive. One was a silhouette. None difficult. Mini games were fun. Some time consuming but all very fun.
CE Bling: I expect the usual fare from ERS including:
* Achievements - in the form of questions (i.e., Do you like to read? How much do you like to read?) - hmm.
* Morphing Objects - YAY! This girl loves me some morphing objects!
* Collections - Of what? I clicked on a few items inadvertently and ..... whoosh ..... of it goes ..... and I've apparently done something right. But what? Go figure.
* Again...inadvertently clicked on ..... something .... and "1 of 25". But 1 of 25 WHAT?????
Besides my personal "wow" factor (which generally dictates whether I will purchase a game) .... DURING the game play I turned the volume on my television ............. off. I wanted NO distractions. Even white noise in the background. I was THAT involved in the game. THAT'S never happened before. Hmmmm.
A definite CE purchase for me. Great for all levels of expertise mainly for the story. Difficulty is fairly intermediate. I felt taken back to some of the features of older games. No gimmicks or gadgets or helpers (don't get me wrong ... I LOVE helpers) or interactive HOGs and multi-level mini games. Just a great story with great game play.
This game would be perfect for a Halloween release. Ghosts and bats and dead people come to life and .... a very creepy, spooky house.
ENJOY!
Overall Impression: Definitely CE-worthy. Lots of spookiness for a Halloween release. I gasped at the end of the demo and just sat in silence for a few minutes going "wow" - over and over. A definite purchase for me.
Worth 10 gazillion stars.
