Grim Tales for Pc

If U need a good virtual workout, running from scene to scene in a tired, lock-step routine in which U exchange one item for another up the chain until I assume a finale of some sorts arrives and U prevail- this game is for U. If U R a couch potato and would rather skip the aerobics, never fear, there R portals to take away even that small challenge. There aren't enough HOP's, and just for kicks and giggles (excepting the leatherman) every freaking tool U find disappears as soon as U use it! I know this is pretty standard, but damnit one would think a time traveling professor would think to hold onto a screwdriver! I even lost the rock I was forced to use as a hammer! Aaagghhh! How clumsy, butterfingered, absent-minded or just plain baked can an avatar be? I tried to like this game- it had so much promise: a time traveling professor who must solve the mystery of whether and or why she killed the oddly well-shaven-unibomber, only to discover her niece is the real culprit. At first going back and forth in time, finding creepy, other-dead-Bill-Gates-looking-guy, hidden ominous voodoo room and at last-shifting back to the dark ages just in time to see "ye olde public execution", but it gets old and ends fast. It was nothing special.

Puzzles were innovative, but wish they were harder. Elephant goes out of their way to add little flourishes here and there. The HOs were varied; list, silhouette, FROG, match the pairs, and combinatory. The story is long, then after you finish there’s a secret room where you play a few puzzles and HOs again for an achievement. You collect morphing objects in every scene, and 16 stained glass pieces that comprise 4 mosaics, and once you complete a mosaic, you can play a HO. So, lots to do. I usually don’t use the teleporting map, because I like to feel like I’m really there. But in the medieval section it was absolutely necessary, because you kept going back and forth between two rooms a lot. Real rating of 4.5 bumped up to 5.

I liked the free trial so I bought the game for $5. This was not worth buying the full version. I finished this game in an hour. For the price it should've been much longer. I've bought games for $2 and they were triple the length of this game. On a good note, the graphics were good, story line was decent but the story could've been so much more. My recommendation keep your money on this game, it's just not worth it for the price.

Challenging, fun, full of variety and puzzles. Recommend.
