Howling good time!
I loved the first one of the Shadow Wolf Mysteries and this one did not disappoint! Graphics are good and the characters that interact are better than most--not the paper doll variety. I like the story and the changing venues. Great game for the HO/Adventure lover! Oh, and the puzzles are great, too!

This Game Must Have a Sequel!!!
I truly loved this game from beginning to the end of the bonus chapter. Chocked full of stunning scenes, music was easy on the ears and the plot was very good. I look forward to Veronica's return.
Plenty of interesting hidden object scenes with a bit of spice to boot.
If you like puzzles they were fun. Most are very doable without building up a sweat. I like that. The puzzle Help instructions are useful.
I played the expert mode. SG is very good should you need to use it. If you are one who believes the hint system should point you to another location scene, nope it want do that however if there is an action, object, within a scene the hint system will work for you.
BTW I thought the little werewolf was cute.
If you choose to play this game I wish you happy gaming.
Thanks to all for bringing us this game "you did good!".

Fun game to play
I really like this game, the movement of the game is very good. There are three very different location and when you finished one you d'ont have to go back to the others.The hos are fun but not very hard so are the puzzles, but some of them are very interresting.
The graphics are good and the music goes well with the theme of the game.
All in all, it is a fun game to play.

As Expected, A Good Game
I can depend on ERS games to be a good play and this is no exception. Game length is good, story line and music are also good. Graphics are bright and bold. Bonus chapter is not short. HO's are interactive and there are several of them but the graphics are done well enough to make them easy enough to play. Mini games are fairly simple. I generally have some trouble with mini games but was able to play most of them with no trouble. SG is typical and I did end of having to use it a few times.
Worth the CE price.

Sample hour
This sequel is good and I really enjoyed this game. The music was not intense and went well with the storyline. The hos were just right and were well done. The mini games were interesting and not your normal type but not hugely difficult to solve. The strategy guide held its place. It was overall well done.

Mmm, could have been better.
ERS games are usually well done but this time i found that the visual concept was at times rather blurry. The music was taken from a couple of other games and i found it would stick. The mini games were well done and were enjoyable. The story, i found that it was repeated in the diary from the letters that were picked up along the way. Still it was nicely done but could have been longer. Good game otherwise and i would recomend it.

Good Story
This has just the right mix of HOS's and puzzles with a good story line.

Better than the first
This review is based on the demo.
I enjoyed this game. I have the first one as well and really enjoyed that. This one is definitely better than the first. The graphics I felt were clear and stunning, the HOs were abundant (although I felt a little murky and dark at times) and the voice overs well done. The storyline is good as well and music was not overpowering. The puzzles were good and somewhat different from others I've played, but didn't seem to be overly difficult or challenging.
Overall I enjoyed the play and will be buying in the new year. Still have some new ones to play from the great Yuletide sell.
I definitely recommend this game.

YAWN
Why did I waste my time and money on this? Played the first one, it was fine. This one finished in less than 2 1/2 hrs. Stupid ending. Easy puzzles. Again - YAWN!!!

Slowest Skip Button in History
I only finished the demo time, but I like the game. Graphics are great (but you REALLY have to like wolves and I do), music is subdued and not irritating and story line seems pretty good. The only complaint I can find to list is the SLOW skip button on the puzzles. When you are playing the demo and want to get as far as possible to see if it is a buy or no buy, you don't want to wait a good solid minute to skip a puzzle. Other than that I can't find a thing bad about it. The voice overs are good as well. I will buy it after Jan. l.
