Enjoyed the game, liked the character voices and the hidden object scenes. Would have liked the hidden objects to have been larger, as they were awfully small. Background music fit the theme.Hopefully, if there is a sequel it will be a longer game and have a extra bonus play. I did not consider this having a bonus at all.KdBoots

I had tempered my expectations based on mixed reviews, and I was pleasantly surprised to find an awesome game! The graphics, soundtrack and cutscenes are all top-notch. Although the map doesn't enable teleportation, the journal is extremely detailed and informative, containing both a written chronology and key visual clues. There is a mix of HOPs so it's not just word lists. And if you like mini games, you will love the THIRTY-SIX puzzles here!For me, this game has just the right amount of eerie supernatural detective fun! It also contains a wealth of knowledge about the history and mythology in Eastern Europe.The game features a number of creative and engaging extras, like the "real-life" video interviews at the end, to immerse you fully in the experience.My only complaint is the length of gameplay, which wasn't helped by the absence of a bonus chapter. They probably should have put some of the time they spent working on extras into the main attraction. If the game has been longer, I definitely would've rated it a five.UPDATE: I saw this game was on sale and couldn't remember whether I had played it, so I downloaded it again. There is now a bonus chapter, so it has to be longer! That alone makes it a 5 for me, but I will come back and downgrade if the bonus disappoints.

Vampire Legends sounded wonderful, but the free trial has failed to deliver any fun! No teleporting map is a disappointment. I am heeding the warning about the dysfunctional Hint button and not purchasing this one. It seems less complex than most games, and seems glitchy in spots. The characters do not really move, but seem to cut from one still scene to the next. I am assuming that Vampire Legends is a first effort by some new software group, and perhaps they will improve. I would have expected some Hidden Collectibles or awards, but have not found any. Some puzzles, like the Vervain Elixir, will not let you begin until all items are in place. Even though you could not place the empty Vervain Elixir vial at the scene from your inventory, it mysteriously appears and fills itself. Nice, but a bit disconcerting to veteran gamers. I would definitely want a functioning Hint/Skip button to complete this tedious game. Skip it!

I had hopes...it is hard to tell with short trials and that is what they want. This was just sloppy, rushed, and could have SO good. The voice overs just did not fit the country or style, the little shop keeper looked like a dork in a t-shirt that asks you to play games with him while you save the world? He would be the first person I would stuff in the open grave. The games were pretty sorry too. The graphics were beautiful but rather soft edged so some items are hard to see. I may just go back to kindle and books for the money I have wasted. THINK before you put it out and people will not only buy, but wait impatiently for the next in the series. This makes one want to only go with series with great stories/games/graphics and more. On the plus side the clouds sweeping over the moon were actually beautifully done. Really...they were.
