Beautiful, but clunky
What a strange game! When I opened it, I kept wondering why this only had so few stars, since the graphics are beautiful! But slowly, I began to realize the reasons ... First, I love to read, but the dialogue was just too long and meaningless. Gameplay and interface are just so unbelievably clunky; they got on my nerves quickly. I kind of liked the scoring system of the HOS.But the game/story just didn't capture me enough to continue playing, especially because after playing 10 minutes of the trial, I still hadn't figured out my quest! All the strewn in Chinese wisdoms are a nice touch, though.
Sorry, but this game could have been much much better! No buy for me, but maybe other people can have fun with this!

Very exotic and pleasant
Although some reviews said the game is boring, I tested it by curiosity (I went in China twice) and I'm very happy with it! I really love this universe with amazing graphics that remind me my travels in China, and the music is nice. I like also the story based on women education, no so common in this kind of game. Take the time to read dialogues and you will be suprised...
The point is that this game is an hidden object game, and of course all action consist on picking objects... maybe boring if you don't like this kind of game!

Judge Dee-the city God case???
I had a feeling when I started playing the hour, that I wouldn't like this game & I was right! I only played about 15 minutes & I quit. The game is VERY confusing, I couldn't find a hint button & all in all the game didn't make much sense. You stand in front of a gate trying to figure out what to do next. And this was in the so-called EASY game. Unless you're schooled in Japanese, I wouldn't bother.

judge dee the city god case
Awful, this is the 1st time i have given a review. I played it for 10 minutes which was too long. It's all about reading dialogs & the HOS are very poor & hard to see some of the objects. Would not recommend.

Do you like to read?
This is a very slow paced game. Most of the time is spent reading the dialogue between characters. Not really any challenge in the puzzles......I would not recommend this game.

Very Slow and Unexciting
I played the demo half way thru. I found it very slow moving, and very boring. Confusing at times on what they wanted and what was next. Never saw a hint button. To much written dialog, no voice overs. Simply got tired of all the reading.

Listen to the Other Reviews
I agree with the other reviews; this game had great potential but has fallen short. Visually it is very pretty to look at but the game itself is lacking for action. Play the demo or wait for it go on sale for 2.99 but don't pay full price for this game. Sorry!

Very tedious
The sound, graphics and story are OK here, but playing the game is very tedious. Each action needs to be activated. There are sometimes 3 actions to each element and you need to activate each one separately in order to continue. Found the game fairly boring because of this so did not continue after 12 minutes. Would really not recommend unless you have lots of patience and time on your hands.

tedious
I quit and deleted the trial version after about 8 minutes. It was so boring, To many stupid little moves to get anything done.
