I loved it - I bought the CE version but short bonus makes the SE the better choice
I loved it.
Phantom of opera was one of my all time favourites this I loved as well but I couldn't compare them as they are such different games (still think opera has the edge). I love the graphics, and I don't say that a lot. I usually turn of the music quickly but this I find relaxing.
It truly has the look and feel of a fairy tale book, not too cutsey with some mild scare factor. I love the comments when you click on things. It has voiceovers. It has 3 settings, I played on the hardest and there are sparkles for hidden object and puzzle area. (not so good)
It does have a map, but it wasn't interactive (transporter), but has markers in the areas that things are still to be done in.
I just love the look, feel, story and it's an A and you know me I don't give "A" out often. I would give it a A++, if it had an interactive map, no sparkles and some morphs.
I play on hardest, take my time, and by no means am I a fast player!! no skipping, read everything and rare look at walkthrough, so a lot of time is backtracking.
main game - 5hrs as in SE version SE players will be satisfied with ending

It has something a little bit different.
I loved the storyline, it was the familiar beauty and the beast tale with a few little changes. After collecting up parts of the soul, I was presented with a screen of a different fairytale, with the task of spotting 20 roses in the picture. I had never come across that in a game before and I really enjoyed it!

super fun and long!
I really like games that are worth the money! If they are too short and I can finish it within a couple hours, then I feel like I've been short-changed. This particular game is really good. The puzzles are challenging but not so much that I got frustrated. The graphics are great and I love the voices used for narration. There are a lot of steps for each soul shard so it takes a while to finish the game.

Mystery Legends:Beauty & the Beasst
Great game,only real draw back was as usual these daysthat the developers are all trying to make thier games appear
longer by putting in far too much going back & forth for one item at a time
Games of thisstandard make a name for themselves even without being over long,This was a Number 1 storyline & beuutifully put together,Love Romance,suspense & longing to get the bad guy,although we knew who it was we needed to find proof
Kudos to the developers but less running around please in anymore of these great games

Beautiful Game!
The colors were gorgeous and the story was classic! Some of the mini games were on the easy side, but overall, this game is up there with the best of them!

Nice game in eerie story
I liked the fairytale side of the story and graphics. Yet it was challenging enough, urging the payer to go back and forth to find items, ant some puzzles were not so predictable to solve.
What I really liked was the fact that at first, I had to leave a scene where I had not yet finished all the puzzles. To return later and be able to finish them is really satisfying. I did not particularly like the enchantress personage, did not find her a very believable character, but that did nog bother the gameplay.

Good Game
I enjoy playing these kind of Hidden Object games. They are
my favorite. The characters actually talk, you don't have to set and read, just listen and enjoy the wonderful graphics.

Beautiful and wonderful fantasy game
I could not stop playing this game, I had to purchase it. It was thrilling and beautiful. Just the right balance of hidden object and puzzles. The mini games were fun to figure out. I would love to play more games just like this one!

Wanted to like it more....sorry
I read reviews before I bought this...and was a bit let down. It just wasn't exciting for me. What grabbed my attention 1st was the better voice acting of the enchantress than the lead character Belle....every time she spoke I could visualize her in a studio? One other small irritation: don't tell me WHAT to do in a game and with what sounds like an attitude??? Omgosh, 'there's really nothing else to do here, I should consult my journal'....geesh, how many times did I have to hear that phrase? I LIKE to spend some time looking around!
On the brighter side, I never knew this story before playing, never read or saw the movie...so I did enjoy that. I also enjoyed the side-kick characters, the owl and the gardener #very cute#.
Note to producers: Your main character must be the most talented and not shown-up by the villian or her side-kicks!
Over-all more fun than not and graphics were very nice and I guess I like my puzzles on the easier side as these were.
Enjoy...and don't necessarily worry about the voice acting, I've been in the ad business, so I'm gonna be picky.

Love the Mystery Legend Games
I'm a fan of all of the Mystery Legends games, this one included. I loved everything about the game, honestly. The graphics and music/ambiance are lovely, and the storyline is quite catchy. It may feel a bit too easy for seasoned HOG players, but it can be a tad challenging in certain areas. Overall, I was more than satisfied.
