Excellent game
Although I really like to solve these games myself without having to use the strategy guide, I didn't mind with this game, because of it's nature. So very intircate I had to start over because I missed a vital step; that's when I decided I'd use the integrated guide when I needed to, which was often! Very challenging game; excellent puzzles; can't wait for the sequel.

Can't help buying this game
I think this game is pretty cool.
It has everything I love and everything I need in game: very good graphics, a lot of puzzles, mini-games, fine music and interesting story and bonus chapter (as CE).
The game has nice variety of locations - swamps, hotel, basements, caves, crypt etc. So I wasn't bored playing because of changing environment. Also I really liked weather effects (weather is changing through the game).
I think it's worth to be played.

Great game!
After a real dry spell, imagine my relief when I started to play this game. Challenging, good graphics, fun mini-games. I hope more like this one come along.....

The game was OK
This game had the same ole same ole storyline: relative kidnapped/disappeared and evil is causinf havoc in the house/motel/town, etc. The visuals were not the at the level of other CE games. The puzzles were okay and but again the visual portion wasn't really up to snuff. I usually purchase the CE's without a second thought, but I reall think I should have saved my money on this one until it was offered as a regular game.

Very different game
What an enjoyable game. The game has a very logical game play. Lots of puzzles, some of them are easy and some are hard. Makes a perfect balance for me. The story is standard at the beginning, but kept my interest till the end. And I think that the graphics is great also.

Best Haunted Hotel yet!
I just finished playing my hour & all I can say is WOW! This is the best one yet. It's very spooky & scarey; right up my alley. I have the previous haunted hotels & I enjoyed them, but I really like this one. The graphics are great, as is the music. The hint button tells you what to do if you get stuck. Definitely a buy for me.

Heartbreak Hotel
What a disappointment. I had expected this game to be less pedestrian and more challenging than the demo would indicate. I was truly bored. I guess it didn't help that I just finished Final Cut - a game that is complex and intriguing. While I agree with other reviewers that the game is a progression from the past installments in this group, the leap just isn't enough for me. Even for the beginning player, there are far better options than this.

Hopeing a Return to Save Charles is in the Making!
I gave this game 5 stars simply because it was well deserving. From concept to finish the game was top notch.
