Disappointing
This game joins the miriad of others recently released, where the devs use darkness and fuzzy graphics for their ho instead of imagination. Oh, for another Madame Fate.
I ended this game with a headache, after 10 minutes of play.

It was ok
I just completed the demo. I didn't get very far in the 60 minutes. The items you need to find in HOS are small and it is dark so they are hard to find. Had problems with "this area is dark" until I figured out I had the light I needed in my inventory and had to scroll right or left to find it. If you want an HOG that challenges you to find the items, this is for you. I am glad there was a map, very helpful. I did skip the cut scenes and didn't do the tutorial which would have helped me find the fluer de lis that I was supposed to collect. Accidently figured it out, should have read the information at the beginning, my fault. I won't buy this game as it was too dark to find items but overall it is challenging.

Fun or frustrating game!
This game, as with the other two, has the same features, i.e., going to different locations and using objects you've found in other areas. Again, you have the criminal who keeps appearing and if you shoot him, you get a hint. You can collect fleur de lis (50, I believe), to get extras. I found the game to be fun. However, I believe this game can either be fun or aggravating, depending on a person's personality. Objects are somewhat hard to find, so the hints are helpful.
Characters are cartoon-like, with conversation bubbles. They are well-drawn.

Golden trails 3
was not crazy about the game, it is all hidden object, many very hard to find and not much of a storyline

Exceptional Game!
Great story, easy to navigate, HOS nicely done AND it took a while to play. Mini-games were a nice mix of easy and challenging. I was very pleased at the length and the extras like trophies and extra point options.This game was definitely worth the money.

Good Story
I have played all of the Golden Trail games. I absolutely love them. Once I start I can't stop. I like winning all those trophies. The artwork is beautiful and the music isn't annoying like in some games. I bought it the minute I saw the title. Some of the puzzles were more challenging than others but overall not so tough that you want to give up. Loved every minute of it. :)

Downright FUN!
Thank you developers for releasing a FUNTASTIC HOG game! I really enjoyed shooting the bandits for hints! This game has it all, great graphics, mystery storyline, fun puzzles, items to collect, and travelling to other locations to finish searching. Please make more of these type of games!
Thank you for going the extra mile to include all of the above in a standard edition game!

If you really like Interactive Hidden Object Scenes...
...THIS is the game for you!
Review based on demo only.
I do, in fact, really enjoy interactive hidden object scenes. Back at the beginning of the H.O. genre it was enough to just find stuff. As time wore on though it seemed like having to sift through a bunch of incongruous junk to find the one object needed to move on became more of a chore than fun. The Golden Trails series turns this on it's ear by making the whole game pretty much an interactive hidden object scene - beside just finding objects you are locating usable objects to apply to areas, either in this scene or another, to get items that are used in puzzles or in mini-games or are clues to the over-all mystery. I find this refurbishing of an old game mechanic refreshing and fun.
And boy! DO they know how to hide stuff! Normally adjusting objects in scale or opacity to hide them I consider a cheat, but since these are so thoughtfully hidden, not just thrown in a pile, it doesn't seem to bother me here. I can feel my brain getting a workout thinking how images could be adjusted to fit into the scene. Since you must earn Hints by shooting bad guys as they pop up (this becomes really pretty easy) I find myself jealously guarding them and trying harder to find things on my own.
I don't really care about points or achievements but find myself playing along when they are present. These are pretty unobtrusive.
The graphics are terrific, if a bit dark (gama adjustment was needed on my system) and the sound is good, storyline interesting. I like solving a mystery. :)
I plan on buying but thought I'd pop in w/ my 2 cents on the way to do so.
