    This review is from: Mystery Case Files 8: Escape from Ravenhurst (DVD-ROM)
    I had to get this even at full price because of the previous Ravenhearst games. It was worth it. This game is a little different from the other hidden objects parts of the two older games. You are not looking for items from a list, you are looking for morphing objects and you have an indicator of how many morphing objects you need to find in a scene. In the "casual" mode the hint button refreshes quickly but hints are not available on where to go next. In this collector's edition the strategy guide gives VERY clear cut directions on what to do next if you get stuck or just want to check if you are on the right track. Just like the two older games the graphics are excellent, as are sound effects and voice acting. This is definitely another winner! I did have to look up a walkthrough on line for a few scenes that where complicated for me. The master detectives may not have any problems but there is walkthrough by Big Fish that gives a little more explanation to certain scenes if you... Read more

    I agree with the other reviewer that this is a great follow up to the other Ravenhearst games. However, I have to say, that this one is not for the faint of heart. As you progress into the world of the evil villain, you soon get transported into a "virtual" world to re-enact his life as a child up to him becoming so demented. There you go from him being born to being abused by his mother (birthing him was not pleasant to me). In all of that journey, you become him and have to act out his tasks. I won't name all of them, but one involves toe nail clippers and a very unhappy mother (think of Norman Bates)

    The graphics are very good.

    The sounds are very realistic, yet disturbing in many ways (some scenes I played without sound)

    The tasks are hard in places as you have so many mini-tasks to do, but the strategy guide provides instant visual help.

    CONS: For me, I really hate the morphing thing. It got on my last nerve because they don't make... Read more

    1.0 out of 5 stars i do not like this game., April 21, 2012

    i thought this game would be similar to the other mcf:ravenhearst that i bought and really enjoy but it is nothing like it. you have to find the clues with no list and if you click too much to find them you lose some you already have. i really wasted my money on this game. i usually play a game before i buy it but since the other one was so good i bought it with out playing it. i definitely won't buy return to havenhearst with out playing it. i give it one stars, only because i have to. :(
