Definitely Worth The Price
This advice is for both 'Dark Parables' Games - do yourself a favor and spend the money for the Collector's Edition. It is definitely worth it! The Strategy Guide alone is worth the price if you get lost, which is easy to do in these games, or have trouble with the puzzles.
'The Exiled Prince' is a great sequel to 'Briar Rose' and it's an interesting twist on the classic fairy tales. The art was beautiful and the gameplay keeps your attention. I can't tell you how many times I've played this game so far and it still keeps me interested.

an excellent hidden object game
So glad Big Fish is allowing us to review as I've just played this for the second time and enjoyed it all over again. In a way it's a standard plot of 'girl has disappeared in mysterious forest and you are the detective investigating'. But actually the story, which involves the Frog Prince and a number of princesses, is done in a fresh way which makes it really interesting.
The great thing about this game is the graphics. The HO scenes have you looking for little bits of objects, which go to make up bigger parts which eventually combine to make larger objects (keys, jars etc) -- but incredibly beautiful and intricate objects. Visually the world is extremely well done and there's a helpful map which shows you where you are.
When you play second time round you're on 'Hard' mode where you don't get any help. Ouch. I did have to consult the strategy guide a few times to find a last piece.
The other fun bit is the 'cursed morphing objects' which turn up in most scenes. No I'm not saying more. If you've played games like this you know what they are, otherwise you'll have to play it and find out!
A really good game with a lot of interest and even music I can tolerate without turning off the sound. The CE version is worth it for the extra gameplay (though I couldn't do this in the hard version for some reason).

Most addicting game in a long time
Love, love, loved it. Just finished it. The game has a very good length and it just keeps you going wanting more, The scenes are beautiful and fun to play. You think you are in a fairy tale. Items to find are also very beautifully detailed. Even the bonus game has a pretty good length and leads up to part 3. I particularly like the fact that one has to go back and forth on the map just to discover that there is yet another part of the map. The map is very helpful, really no need to ust the strategy guide. Fantastic. I'm off to play part 3, the snowqueen. great job BFG and blue tea cup

Fantastic!
This is definitely a game that has action, romance, clever puzzles, a great strategy guide and totally enjoyable. Both Briar Rose and the Exiled Prince are beautifully rendered and are must haves.

Loved every min of it.
One of the best story lines I have seen in a long time, very nice graphs. Keeps you wanting to see what happens all the way to the end.

Brilliant sequal to 'Briar Rose'
I loved the 'Exiled Prince', it was a great game, with fabulous graphics, and great plot line. I can't wait to play the next installment in the 'Dark Parables' series :-D

OKAY FROG ABOUT A FROG FAIRY TALE!
Beautiful, detailed art work. I never liked the "frog turning into a prince fairy tale" story particulary well. Finding parts of objects are not fun as colors, shapes, etc. can be misleading. Bright colors and many puzzles will be fun for those who don't mind fragmented object games--just not for me!

Blue Tea games does it again
Blue Tea Games makes undoubtedly the best games on Big Fish. The Dark Parables series are all wonderful. More puzzle than HO. Perfect graphics and sound. Lots of back and forth between scenes. I didn't want this to be over when it was done. This is a game for casual game connoisseurs. If you like some easy fast fun this isn't for you.
If you buy this game (and you should) GET THE COLLECTOR'S EDITION! It is worth it!
