Great game
I bought this after playing the demo. I liked the puzzles and the hidden object scenes weren't too easy. It had a logical flow to it, unlike some games which have you going backwards and forwards needlessly. My only complaint is that it was a little too short.

Exceptionally Good!!
Like having Three Games in one! Each has it's own story so you feel as if you really accomplished a goal. This game should be placed among the first-class blue ribbon winners with Big Fish Games. If you like Hidden Objects with lots of Adventure, you will love this game!

Good Sequel
Redemption Cemetery: Children's Plight is a nice sequel. The story is similar to the first one, but there is now an enemy to defeat throughout the game. The graphics and theme are still as creepy as the original.
The puzzles are more challenging in this one than they were in the original game. That's good, because they were too easy in the original. The hidden object scenes now have a twist -- some interactivity.
The game was about average length, and took me around three-and-a-half hours to finish. Every person plays at a different pace, though.
This is a fun game, and if you liked the first one, you'll like this one.

A sequel that's not really a sequel
Review after finishing the game:
The Good:
+ usual ERS Game Studios graphics quality
+ game length
+ good storyline (no different eras this time around)
+ riddles solvable without having to consult a walkthrough
+ shortcut to the cemetery...
The Neutral:
o ...but not back
o Once again, adults did voice children.
The Bad:
- and so this game ties in with Part 1 how?
- Spiders! (not big ones, but several... at least they spared us their Mama)
- first little girl storyline ridiculous (rope might break through any second and I have to do mundane tasks in the village???)
Bottom Line: Still a good game, but the first one was better.

OK game but surprised it was ever a collector's edition
I may be in the minority, but I didn't love this game. It was just OK for me. The level of play was a bit too easy, things happen very sequentially so just as you need to find something, there it is. The nice thing is there is no click penalty for the HOG scenes. The hint system is not very helpful when you aren't sure what to do next.

Redemption Cementery: Children's Plight is #1 game
It is a really fun game really, I wish i could play it over and over and over again that is how fun it is!

Great game!
The Redemption Cemetery series gets it right. By breaking the game up into different levels, each with its own story logic and objective, I can play the game and not get confused by trying to remember where a given item can be used.

Fantastic!!
Challenging! But not too much. It's great value there's hours and hours worth of immersive atmospheric gameplay and I cannot get the music score out of my head it's amazing. If you love gothic themes as much as I do this one has plenty to satisfy.

Fairly good sequel
The graphics are very good, the voice overs are barely ok, the music is okay, not intrusive. The storyline is made up of 3 vignettes in which you have to save the child so the spirit can rest, and thus defeat the warlock.
The HOs were good with some interactive play. The puzzles were also good, a little easy and all doable. There are 2 modes, casual and advanced. The difficulty was probably a little less than average, very linear play even within the individual stories.
The length was a little short having finished in less than my average time per game.
I feel the first game was better than this, but still not a bad game.

Beautiful artwork - spooky story
As ever ERS have produced a game with stunning graphics & artwork; their work is never less than beautiful. This is the usual tale of kidnapped children & ghosts who cannot rest until they are rescued, this time from an evil warlock.
There are voiceovers which were ok but rather slowwwwww for me; however I would hate to see the game without. The music & the background noises were perfect, very spooky.
The hidden object scenes have interactive items; always a plus & the mini puzzles just need some thought although there is a skip button if you get impatient. The hint button recharges in one minute for both easy & hard mode. There are sparkles for H0 scenes & objects of interest for the casual mode but only the H0 scenes are indicated in the other; developers please note that it would be really good to have NO sparkles at all in the harder mode.
You get a notebook which covers the story so far & has the usual clues that you find during play for use in later scenes. There is no map so you will need to move back & forth to find items required to open doors, locks, etc.
Given the subject matter some people might find some of the scenes disturbing.
