A game that makes you think and sometimes tricks you into performing long calculations before you realise you've been had. Engrossed my seven year old and had adults who were called in for back up scratching their heads and thinking back to those heinous maths problems set at school. Terrific game although the video sequences slow things down a little and can make it a bit frustrating. That said, the graphics and look of this are wonderful.

Have just finished this game, really enjoyed it. Only taken 11 hours to complete. Would have liked some more difficult puzzles.

I got this for my birthday and it has really had me enthralled! It can be a bit slow and repetitious in parts (wandering round the village. Fortunately the action is interspersed with puzzles. These puz are often quite challenging and definitely get the brain working. I shall miss it when it's finished!

I thought the game was ok - the graphics are great but the story gets tedious and the puzzles are much the same. The hype was great and I was looking forward to playing it but have got bored around half way through. Having said that my son (15) is really into it which is a surprise since he is normally into war games on the xbox!

Great game, really user friendly and totally addictive. I would say it would be quite difficult for young children, but those over 8 would really enjoy it.
