Borrrrrring
I can't believe all the positive reviews this game has gotten. I purchased it based solely on others' rankings -- 1st time I've bought a game without downloading the trial first. Big mistake! Yes, the graphics are gorgeous, but this is the first IHOG I've actually abandoned. I was so disappointed by all the cool-looking items on each screen, only to see that the majority of them only allowed magnifying glass interaction that brought up lame comments. And the mini-games were a joke -- by the time I had to complete the 3rd "match this thing to its habitat" puzzle, I was ready to bang my head against a wall. Blech - what a total letdown.

Not a full review yet
I didn't have to try the sample or watch the video for this one, I just had to buy it right away. The previous two games were excellent and I recently replayed the Frog Prince and confirmed how good it is. The CE version was definitely worth it for the extra gameplay in Frog Prince and I expect it to be the same for the Snow Queen.
I haven't got too far with this one (only in ch 1) but want to report that the graphics are as good as the previous game, with the video bits well integrated and working well. What I really like about the Dark Parables is when you find all the pieces in the HO scenes which make up an object, that object is so beautiful. And they are quite challenging to find -- very much so in this game. There are various tokens to find which when completed enable you to read a story. I wait to see what happens when you do.
The storyline is working well and I am feeling cold already... Haven't checked the strategy guide but the previous one worked fine and I don't suppose that's going to change for this game. I used the map quite a lot in Frog Prince and it looks like it will be used again as I get into the game.

Don't bother
I was so excited to play this game, then was so disappointed. The graphics were amazing, but the game was very short and unchallenging. The mini games were ridiculously repetitive and easy. And the same 2 mini games that kept coming up over and over ad nauseum were what was in the bonus/extra's section after the game ended. I was SO bummed about that. What a let down after playing The Frog Prince. Don't bother with this game unless you just want something pretty to look at for a couple of hours. A real let down!

What a great game!! Love it, love it, and off to play again!
Another great game from one of my favourite developers. It was long and really enjoyable, from the story , music, graphics right to the amazing puzzles which made me poke and fiddle around until that "EUREKA!" moment when something happens, very reminiscent of the Return to Ravenhearst door puzzles. I also like the idea of a completely new story for the bonus content. You won't regret buying this one.

VERY LONG GAME
This game is a definate buy. Good graphics and story line. Objects easy to find except for a few. Loved the scenery and vivid colors.
The game was a very long lone for me. I started at 4:30 pm EST and just finished at 12:20 am EST. I played the bonus game of Hanzel and Gretel that is why game was long for me.
Have a nice and enjoyable time playing.
I recommend this game for all adventurous players young and old.

Too many repetitive games, too many hidden object scenes and very little adventure. Quite tedious. The only reason I finished it is because I was foolish enough to buy it, at full price, no less. I wish hidden object games would not be categorized as "adventure."

Excellent game
I've played and enjoyed the other Dark Parables games, and this one does not disappoint. It's a FROG, or fractured object game, rather than the traditional hidden-object type; you pick up pieces to assemble a needed item, instead of finding different objects from a list. The scenes are not terribly difficult, though there is a bit of a challenge figuring out where to use certain objects. There are only a few different types of minigames, with a decent level of challenge. The length is quite good, as there are eight chapters, and the bonus game was of a similar length as the chapters in the main game. The graphics are excellent, and the storyline quite good, inspired by the fairytale of Snow White. A very good value!

Good game but meant to played like reading a book over a weekend.
I agree with previous reviewers. Blue Tea is highly reputable and when I saw they were the makers, was encouraged.
I would recommend this game as a CE as one really needs the strategy guide especially at the onset. Otherwise you will be frustrated "and HATE this game.". Also realized after restarting as s different character 3 times that there is a "flow to this game." The HO scenes at first seem overwhelming, but again if the game is played over a period of sustained time, one's eye learns what to look for and the HO scenes become easy although one has to learn to look for subtle changes in the "list box" between the lighting saying that segment was complete versus there was still something to find.. Also, didn't know until later that the "morphing objects" were to speed up the hint speed and if one wasn't using "hint" that much was no longer an issue, while the parable pieces were important. I'd say my one drawback about the game was that it often required one to put in some object into a door and open it but not go through it immediately which didn't make sense which is why the SG is helpful. Once I knew the game's "logic" found it much less frustrating and fun. The graphics are beautiful and the music is a nice contribution. Overall liked it, but not a game to be played on a "home from work can play for a few minutes" kind of game.

What a disappointment!!!
Yes it had great artwork, the storyline was good, the level of control you can adjust the game to was nice to see.... BUT
No variety in the puzzles!! the same two throughout the WHOLE game. "connect the dots useing the required colors from one end to the other OR match the item to the picture. What happened to the wonderful variety from the previous two games from this series? This would have been such an awesome game if the developers hadnot gotten lazy about the puzzle content. Dont know if i will continue with the series, and that makes me sad.

Like a great book, just couldn't put it down until final chapter.
If you were able to crank out a new one every day and it be as fun and user friendly as this one I would buy it! I love the map feature, AWESOME idea as well as Winter scenery. And HOS aren't all junked up like a lot of games with items, some not even related to what should be the time period of the story line, but instead with pieces that once found form an object you need to accomplish a task. Anxiously awaiting next one, are you done yet??? :-)
