This One's For Me
This is a straight HOG with mini puzzles.
Very challenging.
Minimal, lame storyline.
Based on the demo.
I'm buying it right now.
Loved it.

More for HO lovers than puzzlers
If you're a HO kind of player, then this game will certainly draw you in. If you miss the days gone by when Mystery Case Files were pure HO, if you want a relaxed HO challenge with some storyline to boot, then yep, A Vampire Tale could be for you.
Hidden Object lists are much longer than with most games, and there's the added challenge that the scene you're searching can sometimes span across two pages, which definitely adds an extra something to the gameplay, but can be frustrating if it's not for you. Also - make sure your brightness is turned way up, because they do like to hide things in dark corners.
There's maybe one puzzle for every two HO scenes, and these are fairly simple. The jigsaw type ones annoyed me a lot as the mouse-to-puzzle-piece relationship could go a bit skee-whiff from time to time.
Both the HO scenes and the puzzles are times, but don't let this put you off - you're given more than enough time to find the objects, and you have a time-based recharging hint button if you get stuck. Only once was I down to the last minute on one of the puzzles and that was because of the aforementioned pointer issue.
I'm going to say that yes, I reccomend this game, but it this case it's really only to a certain kind of player. I can't say it enough - lots of HO focus, with minigames as much more of a side feature. If that's not for you - and it wasn't really for me - then avoid this one.
However if you can put up with, or better still enjoy that, then this game has plenty to offer. Thes story lines before and after each scene keep it from getting boring, and the voice-overs, although sometimes melodramatic, are interesting. Once you've played through the 'extras' tab lets you replay the minigames at your leisure, and if you want to challenge yourself you can set out to get all the pieces of the extra picture, hidden throughout the scenes for the hawk-eyed.
All up, I'm not sorry I bought it, even if it wasn't my thing, and I'm quietly hoping that the next one will be a little less HO oriented and a little less linear - that is to say, you don't move yourself around, you just change automatically from scene to scene with the story - becauseI really want to play it so that I can find out what happens next with the story.
To sum - if you're looking for a HO more challenging than the garden variety, then this could well be what you've been long searching for. If you lean more to puzzles and exploration, object finding and using, then give this one a miss.

Ok game. A lot of clicking & pop-ups
Rarely do we not finish a demo version, but had to quit about 1/2 hour in to this game.
Although the graphics & art work were fantastic, the game play left a lot to be desired.
The objects in the scenes were very hard to find because they were so small and there was a long long list of objects.
Many times when clicking on the object found, Caroline would pop up and have something to say about it. When you're playing a timed game, what is the purpose of taking time to read all these & need to click to continue?
There are hidden scrolls to collect, although I don't know what the purpose is.
The 1st mini game was very easy and playing that unlocked the ability to replay games. We tried that and found the solution was the same every time, so didn't see the point in replaying them.
The hidden object scenes are also scrolling, so you need to move back & forth to find all the items. Along with all the popping up, this is motion sickness x 10
Although this will not be a purchase for us, we cannot make that decision for you, so at least try it out to see for yourself.

Boring and findable items too small
I did not enjoy the game. Nothing but hidden objects which were very hard to see because of their size. Very little story line.

BORING, DULL, TOO DARK
I should have read the reviews first but I usually like to try it first and go from there anyway I was very bored and the game was so short and so dark it made it difficult to find hidden items and being a timed game added to the difficulty you should have the option I do not recommend this game don't bother

A Vampire Tale
After a couple of days with good games,we get thrown with this mediocre game at us SMH! .The graphics were grainy and it looked sloppy.The music and voice overs sounded like nails on a chalkboard.I turned off the volume after a few minutes.Challenges...I'm an avid HOG fan but playing this game I felt that I overdosed with so many HOG's.It was one after the other and it got tedious and to add salt to the wound it was timed and scored...Really?!.Storyline I didn't pay attention to the storyline as I was "recovering" from the recent onslaught of HOG's and bad sounds.That I couldn't focus on the storyline but reading the other posts by the fellow fishies here I didn't missed much.I stopped the trial after 20 mins of torture and decided this game is the worst HOG I have ever played.To my fellow fishies avoid this one at all cost.

boring!!!!
That was the most boring ten minutes. That was all I could make it. This game must be 10 years old at least. Big Fish, are you running out of material?
