What a surprise
At first I thought I knew who the "villian" was after chapter 1, so I just started playing the game because it kept my interest. Boy was I wrong. This is a great game with twists and turns that will keep you guessing and entertained. The graphics are good and the music sets the mood....

It's a great ride....
If you're anything like me, you'll love practically everything about this game. I like to dawdle and admire the scenery, and this one's simply beautiful. The character voices are superb, the artwork is rich and the music is lilting and unobtrusive. You're caught up in the hunt and tripping along, until suddenly-- and I do mean suddenly--the ending smacks you in the face like a wet mop! But all in all, I had a grand time!

SUPER-SUPER-SUPER
Great game! Very detailed; kept you moving from scene to scene gathering inventory items. Prox 1/4 thru the game I found it necessary to make a list of where I need items so if I left the game for a period of time I was able to track myself to the different locations. Puzzle were quite simple...not much of a challenge. Great artwork. I AM ANXIOUSLY WAITING FOR SEQUELS!

Fell short, literally.
As with most youngsters these days I am a big fan of werewolves and werewolf legends/mythology. This game had a lot of promise but I felt the game was too short and didn't have a satisfying ending at all. Even if there is a sequel on the way I felt that this game's characters (and in turn the player) should have had more closure. I still recommend the game for werewolf aficionados, enjoy it while it lasts.

Gets better as the game goes on.
I love HOG, but found this one very frustrating for the first third of the game. Inventory items were used in places that made little sense and did not further the story. A number of times I had to check out the blog walk through to see what came next. It would have been much better if the HINT button gave hints about where to go next and not just hints about the HOS. The rest of the game went much more smoothly and in the end I was sorry that the game had ended.

MY VERY FIRST "WEREWOLF" GAME! INTRIGUING!
The game is really very good and I purchased after the demo hour. The puzzles are especially creative compared to many others I've played. Gave the Fun Factor 5 Stars as Scare Factor Stars really. Honestly, I enjoyed this game as it's very intriguing.

Good Game, Abrupt Ending
Shadow Wolf Mysteries: Curse of the Full Moon is a hidden object adventure game. The plot has you playing the detective who has come to investigate a series of murders in a town, that the townspeople claim were committed by a werewolf.
The creepy graphics were nice for this game, well-drawn, but not the best I've seen. The voice acting was good except for one character (the fortune teller) who was pretty awful. The music was nice. It's the same music ERS Game Studios has used in other games they made, so it will be quite familiar to those of us who own several of their games. I found some of the puzzles to be more challenging in this game than in other games by the developer.
There are two difficulty modes, and I played in the harder mode. The game took me around 3 1/2 hours to finish. The ending was rather abrupt. All-in-all, I enjoyed it.

Great full length game, with surprise ending.
Enjoyed the game from the beginning to the climax. Visuals way above average and fun factor superb containing lots of HO's and puzzles.

LOTS of HO Scenes, L O T S
Great game for relaxing, not a whole lot of sluething going on here. There is a lot of HOS, especially towards the end, kinda feels like they gave up, and you had to earn every inventory item through HOS instead of puzzles and finding items. The scenes are very dark. It was so dark, that the only way I could see anything was to close my curtains and turn off the lights. Music was good, but same score thoughout the entire game, kinda got on my nerves. Puzzles were super simple. Great game to relax with, but hard core gamers, this game is not for you.

Enjoyable Hidden Object Game
This review is based on the one-hour demo.
I love hidden object games, but the more of them I've played, the pickier I've become. It annoys me perhaps a little more than it should when I discover that a game offers no widescreen correction, which is the case with this one.
I decided to turn off the fullscreen option in order to avoid the distortion. The artwork certainly looked better with the game windowed, but peering myopically at the screen, trying to find things, was not very comfortable.
The level of volume for the characters' speech seemed very inconsistent. Sometimes characters continued speaking at full time even after I hit "Skip," though I *think* the voice is meant to fade out when you do that. At least once, I heard nothing at all when a character was meant to be talking.
The puzzles range from very easy to close to moderate in difficulty. I did become impatient with one involving clock hands that seemed less like a puzzle and more one of those mechanical time-wasting "puzzles" that I hate. I dislike skipping puzzles, but I skipped that one after several minutes.
I enjoyed the music. It lends atmosphere without being intrusive or stopping and starting abruptly.
