ATTRACTIVE AND ENTERTAINING
What a delightful game! You?ve been hired to find the prince?s true love with only her slipper as a clue. You find her early on, so you know there?s going to be a lot more involved here. Many fantastic locations and things to do. Bright, crisp and beautiful graphics. Personalize the game your way: set your own gamma value, choose whether you want special effects and set the volume for music, effects, environment and voice and choose casual, advanced or hard mode.
Pleasant voice-overs and an interactive map showing where you have actions to be currently taken. Moderately challenging ?put objects into the HOS where they belong? ? but it?s not always obvious what goes where. Nothing dull in this game. Upbeat music to go with an attractive, fun and entertaining game.

Getting spoiled!
Another fantastic game right on the heels of The Nutcracker! Everything about this game is delightful, from the HOS which are different in a pleasing way to the graphics which are fantastic.
I was seriously considering taking a break from Big Fish because so many of the games were becoming boring and I don't have the finances to waste my money on games that are just so-so.
So spending my money on this game means something. I think it's worth the price.

Elephant does it again.
This is a fantastic game. I thought things couldn't get better after the great "Nutcracker". I was wrong. The hidden objects are different. A lot like "Enlightnus" where you have to put objects back instead of finding them. The game is beautifully done with gorgeous scenery and a fun story line. This may be my favorite game of the year!

Another Elephant Games masterpiece
I don't know how they keep doing it. Once again, Elephant has come up with a game that has beautiful graphics, good storyline, unobtrusive music and is fun to play and replay no matter what your skill level is. I bought this after 20 minutes of the demo, but I had already decided when I saw the Elephant Games logo and saw the first couple of screens.
This game has elements of Cinderella mixed in, which is interesting, I don't recall anyone else using it before. Its got an interactive map (which is something I want in games like this#, achievements and most importantly an actual fullsize #not partial with wide black borders) game screen, which makes it easier to see details on HO scenes. The mini-games are challenging but not so much you want to skip them. And the length of the game is very nice but doesn't drag or feel like its never ending. I have to say, I've been more than a little tired of adventure/HO games yet I don't feel that way about theirs at all.
I really wish someone would do an interview with someone at Elephant Games, ask them how they keep coming up with such great games without repeating the same things over and over. Try this game, you won't regret it.

OMG....
...the elephants did it again!!! :)
They managed to hook me just with the spectacular intro. The graphics are pristine, the HOs do make a change from the ordinary ones, voice overs, storyline and mechanics of the game are extremely atractive. There's an interactive map, so the gamer doesn't get lost if he/she has to stop playing to go do something else in between or get distracted and forgets what to go/do next. Hint system is very good. Lots of minigames.
All in all, it is not a very challenging game. But is is beautiful and entertaining, good for this time of the year and/or for those tired of dark matters.
I didn't intend to spend any more money on games this month, but I already changed my mind... this is definitely a buy for me.

Fun Hidden Object Game
I love it!
I like the fact you place objects where they belong. It takes a little more thinking than to just find objects.
A fun game with a whimsical storyline.
I will definately buy this game.

Surprised by the Game
I beta tested this not long ago. At the time, I felt it was a little too easy, but at that time I had tried it in casual mode. I just finished the demo in advanced mode and that makes a difference but not in how easy the puzzles are, and I feel they are fairly easy. I do like the reverse HOS, at least I don't have to squint to read the list!
I don't recall seeing the camera in the beta version, it is a nice little addition for those who like to have achievements.
I originally thought the game would be kind of cheesy being a Cinderella story, but when she got in the fairy godmother's carriage, well, I was surprised by what happened.
I like the graphics. The lovely colors are a nice change. But graphics alone don't make or break the purchase for me. The story line has to draw me in. I have to admit I want to see how it plays out.
I think there is the potential for this to be a good game, but I also am not impressed with the bonus content; music, wallpapers, etc. I do like when there is extended game play, but there is no way of knowing how long or how relevant it is to the story, so that makes me reluctant to buy the CE and so will probably wait for the SE.

Beautiful Fantasy !
Just a review to encourage others to try this game. Graphics are gorgeous, story line is fantasy. No insane asylums, no evil doctors, not even the obligatory car crash to start the game. Of course there are the obligatory "bad guys", but once again fantasy wins out. I will let someone else go through the specifics, this game is just unicorns, butterflies, mushrooms and shinning treasure. Will appeal to the romantic side of the ladies. It is just a pretty fairy tale type game...loved it. Such a nice change. I am no longer buying the "asylum" games. Tired of the dark nature of the stories. This one reminds of how I feel when I break down and drink a regular Coke instead of a diet coke, ahhhh.. pure joy...LOL

Loved It!
I played about 20 mins and I love the game. Yes it is something a girl would love but I'm very into Fairy Tales, so I didn't mind at all.
I thought the graphics were great, the soundtrack lovely and the puzzles fun and not overly challenging but I liked it since I'm not into really hard puzzles. The HO were a bit tough but I enjoyed it.
I loved the taking photos feature and thought it was a wonderful addition.
Not sure if its worth the CE price but I had some credits saved so I spent them on this game.
I do recommend this game!! :-)

A little gem
I read the 2 negative reviews Before I played the demo and I loved it Yes its Cinderella with a sight twist and no it isn't a regular H'O But does that really matter sometimes they are just there to fill in story time . Elephant games are always worth playing the graphics are crisp and clear which lets face it is a plus for a fairy tale and I am fed up with the murky grainy games around at the moment . I didn't feel it was any more girly than any other fairy tale game . There is a nice touch with the camera and taking photos of the beasts along the way . I have no idea how long the game will be I can only say how much I enjoyed the demo and that as far as I am concerned is the most important thing , Try it you may just enjoy it
