Not one for me I'm afraid
This could have been a better game if it wasn't for having to go through the mirrors and hide things only to have to come back through the mirror and find them again.
I will not be buying this one

Haunted Past: Realm of Ghosts
I think my favorite part of this game was the artwork that provided a nice, spooky atmosphere, appropriately ghostly for the story. Going back & forth between the ghostly realm & the real world was an interesting & fun touch. HOs were well done & not difficult, tho i had to concentrate a bit harder picking out items in the more glaringly lit atmosphere of the ghost realm. There were some voice overs, which were decent. I also liked the fact that once tasks were completed in the different locations, they were tagged "area cleared"; it eliminated a lot of useless trekking about. I don't think this is a very challenging game at all, but then, there's something to be said for a relaxing game & a fun story (especially after a head full of MCF EFR & Dorian Gray Syndrome, whew!). Also, it seemed pretty short to me, but i got it in the CE sale so i'm not bummed about that, tho i might have been if i'd paid full CE price. The SE should be fine, but **Possible Spoiler** the CE extra gameplay definitely led in a direction that seems to promise a sequel, & i liked this story enough to look for the follow up - the story's worthy of that, hopefully ramped up a bit on the difficulty level.

Not one of the best
This game is a very repetative. I am not happy about it being a collectors edition. I have played much better normal games.

This game is Easy and Great!!
I just finished this game, including Extras. All I have to say is WOW!! I have been eyeing this CE game since it came out, and I am so happy I got it for only $6.99!! It is well worth the price! I cannot wait for the sequel!!
The graphics are very well done and beautiful, albeit most are a bit on the grey side...not very colorful. The music is also beautiful...subtle and unobtrusive. The voice overs are believable, and well acted. Aside from the cursor freezing up for a few seconds sometimes, I had no problems or glitches with this game. I did not need the SG, so I cannot comment on it. The game is quite linear, with not a lot of backtracking. You don't have to go all the way back to the beginning, once you have made it inside the house. The objectives are quite clear, and it's easy to figure out what you need to do, as long as you are paying attention to detail, which should be easy, as this game is highly immersive. Even if you don't have attention to detail, the hint button is really helpful, and recharges quickly!! The HOS are clear, colorful, and beautiful, and the HO are big enough to see, and find easily. The mini games and puzzles are, for the most part, easy and simple. I only had to skip 1, as rotating puzzles aren't my strong suit. Some of the puzzles don't have a very good explanation of what to do, but it only takes a bit of common sense to figure it out. The notebook, or diary, records useful info, however I rarely had to use it. It's really nice that this isn't timed!
In the CE, you get the Bonus Chapter, wallpaper, and concept art, plus a sneak peek into the sequel. Also, there is a little sign at the top that says, Area Clear, which is really nice!
My only complaint is that I wish it didn't have to end! It was on the short side, as most CE go, even with the Bonus Chapter. The story line is well thought out though. All in all I really liked it, enough to overlook my minor complaints.
As for the game itself, I LOVE the idea of going between worlds. Going into the "other side" through the looking glasses, finding objects you need, hiding them, and then retrieving them in your own world. Great concept! Plus, you can't really get lost, as you can only stay near the looking glass in the room on the "other side".
I really enjoy a game that is easy to follow, is not frustrating, nor too taxing on the brain, and really not that much of a challenge...and this game is IT!! It's a beautiful game, with a solid storyline, to just relax and play at your own pace, taking in the beautiful scenes. It's easy enough to enjoy, without being irritating. I understand that some people prefer a challenge, and this may not be for them. As they say, "Try before you Buy"! I recommend this game for beginner or intermediate HO gamers who like easy games!

Fun Game
I really enjoyed the game. It's a bit short and therefore, not really worth the cost of a Collector's Edition, but still, I'm looking forward to more games in this saga.
