Superb Characters
Absolutely great characters, and voice over. Although i found that Dupin's voice was a little to fast at times which made it hard to understand him. An easy going game with great mini games. By easy going, i mean that there is not to much runnning around which is fine by me. The hos were easy enough. The story was very good and the bonus game play added unto it.

Good Game
Length of game was ok, it was not as lengthly as I like. Spending that much $$ for a CE I want a long fun game with lots of puzzles and the extras like the dog was cute but I've played better with more creative extras.
The puzzles were too easy but were interesting and fun. The bonus game was good but also seemed short.
Overall I recommend the game.

I loved it.
Ok, I just played for an hour, but I liked the animated characters, the cute dog that becomes part of the hint process, and the logical series of steps between scenes.
I am going to wait for the non collectors edition, but not because I don't really like this game. It was fun to play, had good art work, seemed very professional. Great Job!

Rollicking Fun!
Detective Dupin returns again! This is a fun hidden object game with lush locales, an intriguing story, and an adorable Newfoundland named Arthur to help you out. You are on a hunt for Captain Kidd's ill-gotten pirate treasure. There is a sinister villian out there who wants to stop you though.
The puzzles are fairly simple, the hidden object scenes are interesting (once you find an object, it stays gone, even when you return to the same site). One thing I enjoy in the hidden object games is you actually use the objects you find to discover other objects.
Very good strategy guide, no map.
Although there are some pirate skeletons, and one poisoning, there isn't the gross violence so many games exhibit. I wouldn't object to letting a child old enough to enjoy Poe's mysteries play this game.
This is a fun game.

Good game
I just finished the entire game and my only complaint is that C.E. seem to be getting shorter and shorter. I feel that if you invest this amount of money to buy a game it should last longer than a couple of hours.

Ho Hum and some bugs...
I only played the demo so my review is based on that. I found the game extremely easy and the mini games were so so. The story line was sorta interesting but not enough to make me purchase it. The game is visually beautiful but that's not enough to make me spend my hard earned credits. The game is certainly fun and if you have money to spare then play away but for gamers looking for a challenge you might want to hold off.

The Bug
Loved the game, was fun to have something different like this,Knew I was going to buy after I was so taken with the trial, great game and hope to play more of the Dark Tales. This also had a good story line, and loved the dog !! Just a fun game and held your interest till the end, love these types of games. Thanks for a great day of game playing.

The Latest Addition To My Collection.
I was infatuated with this game from the start. I was instantly charmed by my new eye-candy companion, Dupin. His help and comments were very welcome. The graphics were very appealing. The music fit the setting perfectly...making me want to book a trip to the French countryside. The rotating scene of Paris in the game cursor is a pleasant touch. The storyline appealed to the pirate fan in me : a friend is convinced he's found clues to Captain Kidd's treasure. Who is trying to stop him from finding it?
I found the puzzles readily challenging. The HOS were also very intricate. I enjoy a good brain work-out.
I appreciate games that include helpful animal companions. Early on, you end up with Arthur, the Newfoundland dog. He is able to help with clues and gives the experience a cozy touch.
This is a must-have game for HOS/Puzzle/Adventure fan!!

Another winner
If you liked all the other EAP games you will like this one too. I went straight to buying after verifying with 10 min of demo that it looks great. The opening "play/option" screen is misleading; thank goodness the real graphics and art were of the same great quality of the other games. The narrator's appearance has matured and the storyline is good. Recommend this C.E. plus all the other Poe games if you haven't tried them; well worth the discount being offered.

Dark Tales The Golden Bug CE
For me ERS Games are still the Best coice because they always work on all my Mac's suport Widescrenn. With others Devs like Elephant never be sure that suport your Mac.
This Game start realy interesting, I like HO-Scenes but prefer Puzzles a lot more.
This have a nice mix of Adventure and Investigation, Grafik is perfect, sound is typical ERS.
If you like the other Dark Tale Games, you won't be disopointed.
