An entertaining game a little above average
The spectacular intro with a soundtrack of rare quality let me presuppose the game would be outstanding. Well, not really.
The promising music rapidly turns into a funeral march, and, setting aside the supernatural which is now common to many storylines, the game is just a classic hardly different from its predecessor or games of like genre, although it does offer a couple of originalities here and there.
Nevertheless, there are many good things in Sunnyvale: the puzzles are interesting and challenging, the HOS's not overloaded and interactive, their items easy to find and the hint system lenient, tasks are simple, objectives are clear and the use of objects is good fun, backtracking reasonnable, the graphics neat, well crafted and colorful, the voice-overs and cutscenes professionally acted and near realistic.
Of medium difficulty in Regular Mode, the game makes you think enough for a bit of challenge and much enjoyment.
Total playtime is bound to be short in spite of the 6 chapters, as I completed Ch 1 and 2 in 58 minutes exactly when I tried the demo of the CE.

Good game, but worse than the first
I preferred the first Fear for Sale.
The images are good, but the story does not provide much news.
Different from the HOS, which are easy, but interactive, there are several interesting and challenging mini games.
I do not like when has voice over unnecessary !
Is a good entertainment.

Mixed feelings
I was a bit disappointed in this game after all of the great reviews. While it had some good stuff and plenty of potential, I felt it could have been much better.
The Good: The graphics were very nice. I had no trouble finding things in the HOG scenes, even though they were junkpiles, because the graphics were very clear. The music was appropriate and not intrusive. Also, there were several voice-overs that were done well. The game play was fairly typical HOG/ adventure. Not terribly challenging but not too easy either. The same could be said for the puzzles. You are given the choice of easy and advanced modes (sparkles only for HOG scenes). I played on advanced and did not find it too hard.
The Bad: The storyline was nothing special - solving the haunting of a town and uncovering its secrets. It wasn't bad, just not very original. There was a good bit of back and forth, for little reason but to make you run around. However, the biggest complaint I have is that it was very short. Most HOG games these days have several hours of game play. This game was only a couple of hours long. If you did not have the back and forth, it would have been even shorter. To make matters worse, the ending was so abrupt and unsatisfying, I did not realize it was over right away. Perhaps the bonus game elaborated more but I don't want to have to pay double price for a decent ending.
So overall, it had nice graphics, decent music but an average story, a short run time and a poor ending.

odd but fun
This one was different. The storyline had some huge gaps. A thirty year old murder where you can find the murder weapon and lift prints? A husband falsely convicted and executed who returns in ghostly form still in the electric chair? A deputy who was fired but then is always in the police station and a another who is duped by a doll. A house that appears and grabs people with vines? Where did it get the vines? it's a house not a tree. hmmm. However having said all of that... I kinda liked this one. It's a bit heavy to HO scenes and has the feel of an older style game. But the locations are well drawn and there are a lot of them. A supermarket, a police station, a decrepite amusement park and of course the vine house just to name a few. You go out in boats and down into sewers. The mystery keeps your interest and there are several to try and figure out. Missing people, a thirty year old murder, a much more recent murder and the house of vines. If you don't insist on a game where every detail makes perfect sense, this is one is interesting and kind of fun. 3.5 stars from me.

I liked this one!
It's a pretty straightforward HOG with skippable mini games. Creepy scenes, spooky story, decent characters and okay voice overs came together for an enjoyable 2 and a half hours.

nice hidden object game.
I really enjoyed playing Fear for sale as I did the previous one. Puzzles were not so difficult and what I really enjoyed was the beautiful graphics.! I have only one complaint and that is " THE GAME WAS WAY TO SHORT!! Especially without the extra play of the CE version. I loved it so give it a try!

Very bland game
I purchased this game after playing the free trial and I wish I hadn't. Very poor animation when you deal with the characters. HUGE PLOT HOLES abundant. No really clear resolution to the mystery other than someone gets sent to jail. The hidden object scenes were very easy to solve. Even the first Fear for Sale was better than this one was. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone who enjoys playing Hidden Object games.

Even my grandson Ben,age 6, enjoyed this one..looking for objects
I played the trial and decided to buy it ...Thourghly enjoyed the game kept your attention...It wasn't too hard or to easy...I would recommend buying it ..its almost like Mystery Case Files which always seems to be above the rest....

creepy
To me it was surprising that a house could kidnap people. roots getting out of a house, kidnapping people from the street. Nobody ever heard from them again. I played the game which was very exciting, but I still have some questions .......
Is there going to be a follow-up...
I would sure want to play this and I am looking forward to it.
