FANTASTIC !!!
This is based on the demo. What a brilliant game. My faith in BFG has been restored with this beauty after a couple of real turkeys recently. Fab graphics, good mini games, achievements, cute characters and a great storyline. Thanks BFG. More like this one please. Buying it right now. We are never too old for fairy tales!!

Way to Short for CE Price
This is definitely a great game. Graphics, music everything. I was very disappointed the game was so short and the bonus game was good but very short. For the few extras you get this game is not worth the CE Price. I did buy it on a 30% off sale but still not worth it. Otherwise this game is beautiful and I love the storyline. If a SE format comes out I would recommend that.

Perfect Christmas Game - Fun CE Bonus
As a stand-alone seasonal game, this is great. Fun, lots of exploring, good production, great HOS. As far as an offering by Elephant Games though, it's good, but not great as I expect with their games. It's short for an Elephant game, the challenge is taken down a few notches (I played on hardcore even), and I hope they can sharpen up their cut-scenes in the future. However, if you have a couple of game credits rattling around, do buy the CE. The bonus is lovely. It's a great chapter, independent from the main game, but quite sweet. I will definitely be looking forward to more Christmas games by Elephant - - as was implied a couple of times during this game!

It's Unanimous!
What can I say that hasn't already been said? Gorgeous, beautiful game welll worth the CE price. I absolutely loved it.
Highlights for me:
--I really loved the storyline! Not since DIre Grove and 13th Skull and some of the Grim Tales have I actually NOT skipped the cut scenes. Very very charming and fun.
--the scenery and graphic design is absolutely out of this world. You can just look and look and look. It makes you feel good to know these designers tried hard to make the experience wonderful for us. Kudos!
--the Bonus Game was a BLAST!! It was long and fun and challenging and I can't wait to play it again
--this game has major replay value. From the graphics to achievements and hidden objects, I just want to play it again!
This is EVERYTHING that MCF: Shadow Lake was NOT.
Highly recommended!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME!!!!!!
This was the best game that I have played in quite a while!! The storyline was great with awesome (and not annoying voiceovers). The graphics were phenomenal and many times I just stopped playing so I could look at every beautifully drawn item in the room! The music I kept on at regular volume throughout the game because it was beautiful to listen to (Tchaichovsky...wonderful!!!!) and totally fit in with the storyline and made playing more Christmasy and interactive (like I was part of the Nutcracker Ballet!!!). The gameplay was really fun with a variety of HO scenes, puzzles, interactive play, etc. The challenge was great as well (some easy, medium and a bit harder). My 14 yr old daughter was skeptical at first thinking it was childish but she got into it and LOVED it (playing the game twice already)!! I loved the map that you could use to see where you were, where you had to go and which rooms needed more done to complete. It also was easy to travel from area to area using the map. The strategy guide was awesome though I did not use it much because I loved to figure things out on my own or it was easier to use the Hint button which would give you a clue on what to do or where to go next. I cannot say enough about this game!! If I could give it 10 stars I would but there are only 5 to give!
BUY THIS GAME AND IF YOU CAN TREAT YOURSELF TO THE CE BECAUSE IT IS WORTH THE MONEY!!!! A keeper and one I will play over and over (as will my children!!)
Merry Christmas! Happy Hannukah! Happy Kwanza! Buy this game as a gift for yourself or someone ya love!!!! They will love you for it!!!!! Thank you Big Fish for providing such a great game!!!!

LOVED this game!!!
Fantastic Christmas game, with great graphics, fun story, adorable characters and my favorite Christmas music (Nutcracker Ballet)! FINALLY a game that isn't so dark and evil, involving the occult, etc. I don't care for these games at all and have a hard time any more finding good ones that are just good mysteries, etc.. without all that I only wish it were a bit longer.... I played the bonus game and was sad when it was all over... ready for the next one!

What a Christmas Gift!
I am a fan of the really scary games! I like eery twists on fairytales, especially anything dark. But this is simply magical! The artwork is absolutely breathtaking. The characters are darling. I want to be inside this game. I can not believe the effort the artist went to in order to create these masterpieces. I feel like a kid again! Thank you for designing this gift to all of us Big Fishies!!!!

cute but very story bookish
The is a very cute game, but I found is somewhat story bookish and too young for my taste I know about the nutcracker story and find it interesting, but put in a game form really didn't work for me. I am giving it a high score because the visuals were outstanding. I found the way the game looked was beautiful. Worth a one time play for me, even though I bought it. I think the Christmas theme is what made me buy it. This is not a bad review it's just not my favorite game.
