Dream Chronicles: Book of Water Collectors Edition
Have played all the Dream Chronicles Games. I've enjoyed them all. Book of Water was challenging but not over the top. The graphics are great and the storyline moves the series along. Can't wait for the next one.

A Real Disappointment
So far I've bought all the games in the Dream Chronicles series. I am not looking forward to the next and am not sure that I will buy it at all.
I know for certain that I will not buy the Collector's Edition (CE) unless a whole lot changes.
The One Good Bit:
*It carried the story forward (however minutely and frustratingly)
Mostly Bad:
* The game was far too short for a CE
* The game was far too easy making it even shorter (see problem 1 above)
* We were further shortchanged on the "extra" gameplay
* There was virtually no interacting with the backgrounds
* The dream jewels were in short supply
* There was even a shortage of the stones to place in the dream jewels so even the simple pleasure of hunting for them was eliminated in this instalment
* We were mostly confined to one room of every building, one world-scene in every world
* The whole game felt like it was put out just for profit with no regard to what gamers had come to expect and enjoy
It is clear that these last two games (Air and Water) should have been one game. And packaging this as a CE went beyond the pale. If (the rumoured) Book of Fire CE comes with this same nonsense, it and this earth, will burn to a crisp before I spend good (or even bad) money on it.

Major disappointment
It is extremely short, I have been playing for several hours, am 42% through (per the game), when I saw this I was like, you have got to be kidding!! I loved the first and second games, this one is very disappointing, there are not enough mini games (like loading the engine for the airship), and I really enjoy those. I felt like I was being led by the hand. The hints have a lot to be desired. They tell you what to do (the journal does that), when I am actually looking for a real hint. It is constantly raining (Everywhere), the music was ok, the graphics ok. I read somewhere there is a 4th (fire?) coming out sometime. I look forward to it and only hope the designers read some of the consumer?s reviews and give us more of what 1& 2 had. Thanks for listening to my opinion (for what it?s worth)....peace.
