9:The Dark Side
This was an excellent game and I would recommend it to everyone! The graphics are excellent. The voice over stalled a few times but otherwise was very good. No complaints here!

Enjoyable Game
I thoroughly enjoyed this game. The story was well written and it was decent in length. I also appreciated the variety of different types of puzzles balanced with traditional HOS. However, there were several typos, especially towards the beginning of the game which is why I gave it such a low visual quality rating. Another problem is that the hints were sometimes too vague and didn't make much sense. While I'm all for hints being hints and not flat out directions, the hints in this game sometimes sent me running around in circles trying to find something entirely different from what I wanted. Regardless of those two problems, I'd still recommend it for a rainy day.

Put Your Thinking Cap On!
I really enjoyed this game! While the storyline is not my favorite, I did like the adventure, as well as the puzzles. The HOGs were well lit and fairly easy. The graphics were great! I like the type of game thats makes you really have to think, and remember what you have already seen to complete the game. I will have to say that this game had some of THE MOST DIFFICULT PUZZLES I have seen in a long time, and I loved them! One puzzle took me a couple of hours to do, but I did not want to give up and kept trying....ahh the sweetness of success!! I do recommend this game, but probably not to newbies.

Great Game for Expert Level Players
Pros:
*Good music and ambient sounds
*Decent graphics
*Great puzzles that are challenging but clear (objective is well stated and thankfully reset buttons are given as you will need them)
*Multiple play difficulties (although sparkles illuminate HOS in all three modes of play)
*Much more adventure then HO which I personally love
*Does not spoon feed the player everything, again a plus
*Good game length, especially if you avoid a SG and just spend some time with the puzzles
Cons:
*Voice acting can get annoying at times, as it is slowly read and does not flow naturally
*Back tracking will be a part of your game play
*Some areas take a few seconds to load
*Ghost interactions get a little on the old side a bit to quickly, but you can skip the dialog if desired
Overall, worth the money with great game play and fun puzzles that may even challenge your expert skills.

Best challenge of puzzles yet!
This has been one of the toughest challenges in the puzzles of a game I have played so far. I cant wait to play it again, my husband already has in the next hardest level. It holds your interest so you dont want to stop playing.

Entertaining adventure
Challenging puzzles, I almost regretted playing on the hardest level, but once I began concentrating, I enjoyed everything. Occasional screen freeze, probably due to the autosave feature, and I'm glad it didn't get wildly easy at the end as some games have done recently. It is so disappointing to be in the last couple of chapters in some games and to have nothing new to stretch for, just more hogs or easy puzzles. Thanks for a great game.

Very enjoyable
Just finished the game and I thought this was a very good game. The HOGs did not come up too often but were related to the scene. The minigames were tough sometimes and I skipped a few. Guess my mind does not work that way or I was just getting tired. It started out kind of hard but I finally figured it all out and I got hooked.Length is pretty good and the scenes and graphics are beautiful and clear. Hopefully there will be another one. This one was worth it.

interesting challenging & good length
This is a very interesting and challenging game as the puzzles are sometimes difficult and need walkthrough to solve but all in all a great game
graphics are good and clear the hidden objects are not to difficult to find
You need to travel back and forward in scenes to complete but this did not distract from pleasure of game
well worth the credit I have played it twice and found you have some different objects too find when played again
which is good I found it sometimes a benifit if I wrote down the clues as the diary does not always have all the details but it gives you the objectives you need to get through the game
Hope there is going to be some more by this producer in this vein.
