Edgar Allen Poe's Premature Burial
I have just finished the game. Lots to do, many places to go. A good long game. The music they used was very relaxing to listen to. A good storyline. I must say that I wished I had purchased the collectors edition. I had to leave the game a zillion times just to go read the walkthrough, (I don't have a printer right now and yes I do cheat.) The hidden object scenes were challenging, but not so bad, when the hint button was recharging I usually found an item or two. It had a happy ending. Bravo! An excelent game! I will probably purchase another game in this series.

Such a great story!!!
Visually stunning, and somewhat challenging HOS. This game is not for children. Other than HOS there are no hints in the SE, so you're on your own. It really makes you use your brain .This is one of my favorite games!!

Great Game but,,,
Really enjoyed the game, great hidden objects screens. But could have used some hints or maps for certain areas.

Dark Tales: Edgar Allan Poe's The Premature Burial
My favourite of the Edgar Allan Poe games.
THE GAME:
- Very enjoyable mystery type game. The story was good with a nice happy ending.
- Graphics are the best out of the three Dark Tales games; probably because this is the most recent of them.
- Few things towards the end annoyed me a bit though...(1) for some reason, the game started telling what to do and what to use for certain situations. For example, if I examined a pot plant base, the character said "Ooh, a key. I'll need a magnet to get this" or when I was looking at a curtain, the character said "Hmm, this tassel will be good, I should cut this with my knife". I hate this! I like to play for myself and not have my hand held so much.....and (2) the game started to go very slow and took a good 10 seconds to move between scenes which is frustrating to say the least, especially when you're near the end and want to get finished.
HOS/PUZZLES:
- HO scenes were ok, but quite easy. I found all objects fairly quickly with ease. The descriptions of items were random sometimes though and didn't match! For example, the clue was 'Bowl' and the actual item in the scene was a cup! This happened a few times. Quite irritating.
- Puzzles were ok, again fairly easy. Nothing new....all puzzles I've seen before.
WHAT DO YOU GET?
- Notebook
- Hint and Skip buttons (no hint button in main game though, only in HO scenes.)
- No map
- No extras, collectables or achievements
- Two modes of play; casual or expert. I played in expert.
LENGTH OF GAME:
- Average. Took me two evenings to complete the game.
Despite there being a few frustrating and bad features, I did enjoy playing the game.

Great game!
Good storyline. Very good graphics. I played without sound so I can't rate this. The HOS are clear. The puzzles are not too difficult. There is a lot of walking back and forth and no map but there are not that many locations that you would get lost. You also have to find 33 roses. The game has a good length and is never boring. All in all, I had a good time playing it!

Outstanding Game!
This game has all the bells and whistles of a true adventure HO! Voice overs are excellent. Sounds are great. The game was fun from beginning to end. This is a keeper. I would recommend this game. Can't wait for the next Dark Tales to come out !!!
