Really Fun Easy Game
I really enjoyed this game despite the fact that it was not challenging. The fairy tale storyline is so engaging that it makes for a fun gaming experience.
All the HOS are FROGs, which is not my preference, but some people like. The FROGs are well done. They're nicely drawn, and it's usually pretty easy to see what you're trying to find.
There are a couple of items you cannot get until you play in hard mode, which you can't do until you've beaten the game once. I didn't love that. It was sort of like they just wouldn't let you play the whole game the first time through. And, for me, the little (very little) bit extra was not worth playing the whole game over again.
This game had several collections you had to acquire to solve certain puzzles, which I really liked.
Like I said, it's not hard, but it is really entertaining.

Boring. Don't waste your money or time
The fragmented hidden objects in practically every other scene were annoying. The objects were so tiny and many blended in to the background that made it impossible not to use the hint button. The games are so easy and silly. It is a long game with a boring storyline. Then when I was almost through it an error come up that caused me not to be able to complete a necessary task.

GREAT...WONDERFUL...TERRIFIC
This is a fantastic game. I loved the FROGS, music, long game play and graphics. You take a wonderful fairytale journey thru a make believe world with lots to see and do. The music during the FROG scenes is hauntingly beautiful. I have played this game several times and will continue to do so.
I would give this more than 5 stars if I could.
Go for it.

Fun with a Frog (Pun Intended)
The Exiled Prince (2011) is the second in the Dark Parables series by Blue Tea Games in which you play a detective. In TEP you're trying to discover what happened to the Frog Prince. Overall, it's a fun, somewhat challenging and story-strong FROG-heavy game with some interesting but not difficult puzzles.
The Dark Parables series are all Fragmented Object Games (FROG) where you collect relics through FROG scenes that are then used in various ways -- usually they're either keys, objects that can be used as keys (returning a scepter might make a statue move, for example), or objects to be used in puzzles (which then unlock doors). By collecting the objects and figuring out the puzzles you unlock new locations which will then lead to more objects and puzzles. The provided map isn't interactive but will clearly show where you are, where any unlocked hidden object scenes are, where the objective needs to be completed once you have all the required items, etc. Unlike the later games in the series a portal isn't provided to get from one end to the other so be prepared to do some wandering (if you use the map carefully this isn't difficult to navigate)!
This is a game heavy on the FROG scenes with a reasonable smattering of puzzles but the tasks themselves are fairly straightforward. True, you might collect an object not used until an hour of gameplay later but usually it's fairly obvious what object is used where when you do eventually come across the right place. If you're looking for adventure/task oriented gameplay you might want to try the Awakening series; if you're looking for a lot of hidden object scenes then this is definitely the game for you. The object scenes themselves are fairly complex, though not interactive, and require a keen eye as the objects may not be the precise colour or size they appear in the search box display. They WILL always resemble the picture but the variation can make the scenes difficult if you're not very attentive to detail. The actual puzzles range from very easy to a bit tricky with nothing too complicated or difficult for an intermediate player.
The game, like the others in the series, provides shiny extra bits like finding cursed objects (to speed up hint time) and parable disks (little mini background stories for the in-game characters). All-in-all if, like me, you really enjoy FROG scenes then this is an awesome game. The graphics really make the FROG scenes with plenty of detail to admire (and hide fragments in!). If you like this game you might want to try Dark Parables: Rise of the Snow Queen (or vice versa). I gave it 5 stars above but I'd rate it at more 41/2 stars out of 5.
P.S. Keep in mind that unless you're playing on Hard mode you won't find the frog's crown and unlock that location but the game is perfectly playable even without that side bit.

one of the best
I just loved everything about Exiled Prince. I bought THE STANDARD EDITION AND THEN BOUGHT THE COLLECTORS EDITION. Afterwards I gifted the standard edition to someone and that person loved it so much that this game became a ruler used to measure all future games. Games tried have to match or beat Dark Parables:The Exiled Prince in all categories or it is a no sale. I do not call myself an expert but I never use tutorials, seldom look at strategies and avoid hints. So I would say I am good at it and love playing HOGs but more so those with a great story line and with no annoying helps to spoil my fun. If I need help wait for me to ask for it. I like playing all games but HOGs are one of my favorites and most Tea Tree games are way up there among the excellent ones. If you love a good story with an eye for beautiful things and a challenging game that holds you until you finish it no matter if you never sleep. Buy this one.

Good Hidden Object Game
One of the reasons I love the Dark Parables games is the story. For The Exiled Prince, I found the story to be a little lacking compared to the other titles I've played. However, the game play is interesting and I find "fractured object" hidden object scenes to be more challenging and interesting than regular ones.
Overall I felt that this was a solid game in the series and while I would have liked to see a little more depth in the storytelling, I enjoyed the game very much.

ANOTHER "PET PEEVE" GAME
I have both the SE and the CE of this game, and, thankfully, played the SE first. Now I won't waste my time playing the CE. This game is guilty of the one thing that drives me crazy; sending me forwards and backwards and sideways until I'm dizzy and don't have a clue where I am or where I need to go. The map was little, if any, help and contained such good advice as "Find all the hidden objects." Often, the map wouldn't even show you where you where or where you needed to be until you backed out far enough for the applicable piece of the map to show. The hint button did not work outside the HOS, so was no help in getting to the next place to play. By the time I had been run around and around, I had completely lost track of the storyline and all I wanted to do was get done with it, as I never give up on a game, no matter how bad.

worth while
Its great and interesting twist of old fairytales. I am looking forward to buying the collectors editions later on. very much worth buying and playing over and over.

Love this series
Another excellent interpretation of a classic fairytale! Love the visuals, the puzzles, and the story. I'm also really excited to play The Snow Queen (which I own) and loved the demo for Red Riding Hood.

It was just ok.
I just couldnt get into this one. I love adv. games but I found myself walking away from this one a lot. It was a bit boring.
