One of the best games I've ever played. Awesome!
I read the reviews before I bought the game and I have to agree this is an absolutely beautiful and fantastic game. The graphics were amazing and there were so many things to look at, collect, and discover. The HO's were all fragmented and beautifully done. The map was so helpful because you always knew where you were and if something needed to be done there. Now that I think about it there weren't too many puzzles, but apparently that didn't matter to me because I just finished the game and I think it's probably the best all around game I've ever played. Loved it, loved it! Thanks Big Fish for another great game.

It's ok, could have been better
I did enjoy the gameplay and the graphics are very nice, I played only the trial, the game is a frog game and the only thing I didn't like was the storyline or the fact that the opening scene was a little disturbing due to having to watch and listen to the wolves being killed. I read many reviews and I feel that the game isn't bad yet the content is with having cruelty to animals even animated animals is not ok with me. I agree with Nilosh's review on this one, the wolves cry is awful to hear and for me I love all animals magical or not. I do recommend the game to those who have no problem with this fact but to those who feel differently, be warned. Nice game, bad storyline. Not one for me.

Absolutely wonderful.
I played at highest difficulty and then the challenge-level was more than high enough playing the game trying not to read the help text-lines while clicking. Some of the puzzles are a little to easy.
But the game is so beautiful by all means. Wow.

another winner from Blue Tea
I love all the previous Dark Parable games and this one keeps up the excellent standard. As usual, the plot takes a traditional fairy tale and puts a twist on it. Those whose reviews complained about cruelty to animals seem to forget that in the original story, both Red Riding Hood and her grandmother are eaten by the wolf, and these are hardly real creatures but magical ones like demons in other games. However, back to the review:
The Dark Parable games score very highly on their visual quality, particularly in the HO scenes, which are actually fractured objects: find the pieces and the object comes together. I am always impressed at the beauty of these scenes and the way in which the pieces you are looking for blend in with the particular scene. In the last game (the Snow Queen) I felt that the final objects were a little fuzzy, but not in this one: the objects are always detailed and lavishly ornamented (even hammers and such like mundane objects).
The video has been improved since the last game and is very well integrated into the story. The voices are also very well done.
Usually I complain about the banal music in games, but Blue Tea actually produce music which adds to the overall feel of the game to great effect.
The Dark Parables always have slightly different and interesting mini games and this is no exception. There are some particularly fun ones -- not really difficult but just challenging enough.
One thing I noted is that the map isn't as detailed as in previous games: but frankly this doesn't matter much.
I bought this game immediately as I knew I would love it, and am writing this without finishing it. The only thing I am kicking myself for is playing it on normal mode because I never seem to find the morphing objects (well done Blue Tea for hiding them so well) and I don't need the hints, so I might just as well have picked hard and avoided the slightly annoying sparkles for the HO scenes.
Highly recommended.

the only HOG I've ever waited for
And it was so worth it. dark parables have been my favorite since i started this type of gaming, and the developer did not disapoint me at all. It was even better than I expected. Actually, you never know what to expect from dark parables. The stories are so turned up and twisted they are nothing like the original stories. Here's my review on parts.
STORY: The usual detective is sent to investigate the order of red ridinghood sisters. What I found loving about them, was their unique fighting stile :swords, claws, bows, daggers, they look like real superheroes. The wolf queen's story started getting predictible a little in the game, but it didn't spoil it. You have to save the sisters and help them defeat the wolf queen. What I personally loved about the story, was the interlacing with the other dark parables characters. Briar rose was present, also the mirror of truth from snow white, snow white's son has a statue in one of the scenes, and all the statues of the frog prince's wives are present in a church.
GAMEPLAY: You have the usual map with no instant teleporting. Surprisingly with such a large file the scene changing and moving around was very smooth. There's not a lot of running for items. Most times it gives you more than one after solving a puzzle or opening a box. you can find morphing objects all over the game for faster hint, but I personally didn't bother with them. As in the other games from the series, you have to find pieces of parables to unlock the little stories. You can also get them from the bonus content. There are 3 levels of difficulty, casual, normal and hard.
PUZZLES&HOS: There were TONS of hidden object scenes to play. this is a very well balanced game between hos and adventure. Some of them must be solved 2 times, but you won't feel it because the game area is so big and they mix it really well. they are from medium to hard difficulty. You have to find pieces of items to make a whole one that goes in your inventory. The puzzles were few and of an extremely easy difficulty, but we know that this series never focused on puzzle solving.
GRAPHICS&SOUND: Exeptional visual delight, that's what nthis game will give you. A lot of cutscenes, crisp scenes, bright colors, absolutely beautiful. Everything seems to be fully digital painted, even the animations. The chinese game designers have done a very impressive job again. Whenever I play a hos, I usually turn the music down. Here I didn't have to. The music is calm and well chosen, it has a medieval feeling and makes you feel like you're in a grim tales book.
EXTRAS: The bonus gameplay is called 'the boy who cried wolf" and it's somehow related to the main story of the game. You're playing from the perspective of the boy, and the action takes place before the main story. it bassically shows how it all happened. It is of decent lenght and it has an impressive number of hos for a short game. The extras also offer wallpapers, music, the cutscenes, concept art, bonus puzzles.
I playd this game in BETA, and I was so frustrated when the demo ended that I counted days until it came out in CE because I loved it so much. Now, the sneakpeak of Cinderella dark parables makes me wait for it again. i can't wait for it to come out cause I know it will be great. hopefully 2013 will be a Cinderella year.
Enjoy!

MIXED EMOTIONS ABOUT THIS GAME
Forget about the way Little Red Riding Hood looked in your childhood 'cause this ain't it! LOL On to the review:
HOS-Clear, large, bright, fragmented only, repeated, only get one object, look for silver/gold items, emblems and colored gems.
Animation and VOs-Not often throughout the game. Most of your time will be spent looking for items from scene to scene
Puzzles-Usual variety with the option to skip; Think one puzzle said trial and error
Hint-Quick to recharge and acts as a guide
Map-Doesn't work; go with Hint button for direction
Misclick Penalty-Cursor turns into a purple ball
Look for Cursed Morphing Objects for extra hints; I missed a few of these. Don't like morphing so I didn't pay attention
Wolf Queen-She is a sight to behold LOL Love her hairstyle!
There is a lot of jumping from scene to scene
Fantasy/Save the Kingdom storyline. Would rather play games in the 21st century. :-D
3 Difficulty Modes-Casual (my favorite), Normal and Hard
For HOPA fans, I do believe you will enjoy this game.

Not the best Dark Parable, but still fun
Maybe its my fault for having such high expectations after the previous Dark Parables, but this one was not as thrilling as the others. You get the usual Blue Tea signature assets, such as lavish graphics and well-suited music; however, unlike the previous episodes, this one departs way too much from the original fairytale. This episode is rather short, it is fortunate they added an extra story from another fairytale.
I recommend it, but only to the Blue Tea fans and Dark Parable addicts. Now let's wait for the next episode, which is? (well, play the game until the end if you want to know, I'm not spoiling it here!)

A sequel that can hold its own
This review is based on completing the CE version, not the free trial version. I did not find the storyline as good as the Snow Queen or Blriar Rose, but it is as good as the Exiled Prince. I give this sequel a "Two Thumbs" Up. The storyline remains the same: you come along and save the world from utter destruction. But the graphics are superb. The FROGs #fragmented hidden objects games are plentiful. For me too many, but for my wife you couldn't have too many. I find this a marriage saver. I do the puzzles and she works the FROGs. Speaking of the puzzles, they are not too difficult and require a little thought.
I play the game on the Hardcore mode and have found you can complete the game without the use of the startegy guide. Some things take a stretch to follow the logic when using an object.
Again there are those pesky Morphing Objects to locate. They can be fun. We found ourselves holding off the final victory just to go back and locate the last Morphing Object. They did a good job with a couple of these.
The music was the best part. It was off the charts and annoying. In fact, I actually left the speakers on. The conversation aspect of the game is a little cartoonish considering where some of the better games are today. But it didn't detract from the overall playing of the game.
My issues wre not that great. I would have liked a interactive map that allowed me to jump from one point to another rather than having to back track all the time. I did find the map informative in locating where the palces of interest are. I must admit, I did not use the map for the basic game. I looked at it during the bonus game so I could comment on it.
I am bad about not looking at the tutorial or maps. I just charge ahead and figure it out as I go. That is one reason I was back traking to get the Morphing Objects. I didn't realize they were part of the game until I stumbled across one later into the game. That is one of the liabilities of the "Darn (PC folks corrected the language#the torpedos, full stream ahead" approach to game playing.
The bonus game is different that most in that it has its own storyline and is not dependent on the main game.
Not to reveal too much, I am going out on a limb here. It was good to see Briar Rose. As it helped in a way to tie this game to the series since there is no Frog Prince.
Bottom line: I would recommend this game and I enjoyed playing it.

The 4th is NOT a charm
I own the previous 3 Dark Parables games, CE versions. And I loved them.
But I'll pass on this one. First, it annoyed me not to be able to access the SG, meaning I don't know the length of the game. And judging from where I got to in the 1 hour trial, I fear it may not be very challenging. Second, a) I find rather ridiculous that an Order so old of such well trained warriors can become suddenly as fragile and helpless as little girlies and b) I hate meaningless animal cruelty, be they sharks, wolves or sweet canaries. The storyline really put me totally off.
Nevertheless, the mechanics of this game are top notch, so in spite of my personal opinion I recommend it. But you should try it first.

A few things fell out of Red's basket?
What this presentation does well is worthy of superlatives. It is exquisitely, masterfully, intricately, skillfully crafted, visually stunning with enormous attention paid to animated detail. The story is well conceived. Little Red grew up and her legacy is the basis for this fairy tale. However?
This would be an awesome picture story book, unfortunately the last few chapters felt rushed. As the detective on the case to defeat the Wolf Queen you meet and interact with several characters, the plot becomes quite involving. Then poof! In a few convoluted moments it's over.
As a "game" -- something to challenge your mind, an adventure to piece together by completing tasks with found objects and solving puzzles, all with a sense of accomplishment -- it falls a bit short.
This is a fragmented hidden object game -- find pieces of a whole object which will become an item in your inventory. Unfortunately only 10% of the pieces are really well hidden.
The puzzles are beautifully, thematically presented, clever and enjoyable. Some have multiple parts to solve -- those are the most challenging. Others are very simple. One challenged your mouse skills; when I was sure I had failed, the game registered a win. Go figure.
The Adventure flows well -- almost too well. You are never stymied by how to use an inventory item or what to do next.
The one challenging exception might be finding the 20 morphing objects -- I didn't.
The map is not detailed and has no teleporting feature -- a miss considering the scope of the game world you travel back and forth within.
The bonus story is a prequel to the main story, but both stand on their own. It is equally well done. I enjoyed the story, and actually think the adventure had a bit more challenge.
This review is based on the merits of this game. Compared to others, I would have to rate it better than many. It was a pleasant way to spend several hours.
