Beauty of A Game
This was a visually pleasing game..Clear graphics and HO scenes..It also was exciting..especially the huge spider...On the down side, it was a short game..even with the bonus chapter..It seemed to me not worth the price of CE..that was very disappointing...But..if you only buy the SE, you will be unhappy about the length of this game.

Great Hidden Object Game
Casual mode is challenging but not ridiculous. The story line kept me interested enough to continue. Visually it was great to play. I had to use the strategy guide to figure out some of the steps. Overall I really enjoyed playing the game and would certainly recommend it.

One of the Best games of 2011
I must say after reading reviews on the stratedy guide in the negative factor I was concerned with purchasing the CE well let me just clear this up right now THEY WERE ALL WRONG!!!!!! I loved this game the graphics are superb and beautiful, the storyline is gripping, the puzzles keep your skills sharp and challenge you but still fun at the same time. Yes the strategy guide could use more content this is true but the bonus game which is really a necessity I say it provides you with the true ending that you otherwise would not have had like what happens after I cannot say so as not to spoil it for you who have not played this yet all in all I give this a 5-STAR Rating because it is worth it for the price and so much more in addition once you have beaten the origiinal game you get the original story for Beauty and the Beast seriously hands down top game of 2011 that I've seen thus far.

A Wonderful Adaptation of the famous Fairy Tale
To put it simply, I was hooked after 18 minutes of playing the demo.
The graphics are gorgeous, all hand-drawn with great talent and taste, beautifully painted.
The excellent, vibrant music acts as an enhancement, and is never disturbing.
The voice-over is quite good and the narrative well written.
Puzzle #1 is a classic and dead easy, puzzle #2 cute and also easy, the others offer a fair challenge.
The HOS are neat, although some items are a bit too tiny for me, but the Hint System on Casual is very friendly. In addition, it provides indications as to where to go, what to do and look for.
Further aid is given by the SG, step by step, thus keeping the surprise of what follows totally complete. The journal includes a map showing your current location, those where some action is needed and the unexplored ones.
There are 33 locations to explore and re-explore, which means the game should have a decent length, especially with the bonus chapter, which, I believe, offers a better conclusion than that of the SE.
The storyline is solid, but I don't know yet which version of the tale Pixelstorm followed; the original by Gabrielle Barbot de Villeneuve or the best-known abridged variant by Jeanne Marie de Beaumont.
With 3 levels of difficulty to choose from and many tasks to accomplish the game should keep the most demanding players among us busy for quite a few hours.
And as the cherry on the cake, the witch is quite....beautiful too ! I am getting the CE. My rating: 4.7

Excellent game...emphasis on the right stuff!!
I really loved this game. It wasn't like any other game I've played. The emphasis was on the HOS which at first appear deceptively simple (not so much), instead of on the puzzles and mini games, which are kept simple, but are able to be skipped if you just aren't feeling it. When I play a hidden object game, that's what I want to do--find things, not play puzzles. I wish more games were like this! If you want emphasis on HOS and a story that has a natural progression to it, then this is the game for you! Also, some stories have so much going on that I tend to get lost. I didn't have that problem with this game.

Lacking in the challenge department
Visuals: The environments were quite good and very enchanting. I do wish we had more puzzles to do inside the castle, though. The environments include a cottage, garden area, a town with two places to visit, and then the castle zone.
Music: The music had a hint to the original Beauty and the Beast soundtrack, but definitely different. The music was not overpowering at all and I felt like it was definitely soothing and easy to have in the background.
Puzzles and clues: One of the downsides to this game were the puzzles. If you are an adult who is looking for a more challenging adventure game, then skip this one. The puzzles were far too easy and required very little thought or skill. This game would be great for your kids. On a positive note, the hidden object scenes were challenging.
Ending: The ending was a little dull and it could have been more climatic with the evil queen. This game was much shorter than Phantom, and only took me 4 hours to beat; earning me a spot on the scores board as #3. There was one room left that I did not get to explore, which I do intend on researching.
Overall, this game was pretty and was a pleasure to play. The only cons were that it was too easy and too short. I would have liked to see more encouragement from the Beast while Belle tries to free him.

MUSIC AND GRAPHICS ARE TOPS IN THIS EXCITING PUZZLE GAME!
I use a Mac and jump at the Mystery Legends Games when they come out and Beauty and the Beast was worth the wait. You are Belle and you must find all of the sole shards to break the new spell put on your love, the beast. The developers of this game spared nothing to its making. The music is not just background sound it changes with your actions. When you solve a puzzle the music dramatically cheers you on. The artwork is to die for. Such talent. I felt challenged by the puzzles though there was nothing new. Can't blame anyone as I have been playing hidden object, puzzle games for a long long time. I really enjoyed the story line and the bonus play time was satisfying too. I would highly recommend Beaty and the Beast.
