game shiny
scenes are very nice, also the music, there are other simple and difficult puzzle. for all tastes as well as the hidden objects in some scenes where you have to find pieces of objects. I also like the dialogues that make the game less trivial, the game takes about 5 hours, casual mode. I hope others will come out of this kind.

Kept me guessing
I, personally, thought this was an excellent game. I know the Beauty and the Beast story and I'm sure everyone else does, too. This game, however, kept me playing all the way through trying to figure out what happened. The ending was rather rushed, but overall, it was a great story. The puzzles were fairly easy, but the game was a good length, well worth my money. No, the characters don't move their mouths or anything, but the voice actors are excellent, except for the maid. I didn't feel that the background music was annoying at all. Overall, I felt that this game was unique and fun. I'm glad that I bought it.

Beast, Beauty & Some Romance
Not the regular story about Beauty and the Beast, but a fine take nonetheless; also not as dark as some of the other games that have come out recently which is great for this time of year. You're able to imerse yourself in a fairy tale with some darkness; based on whole game.
1--graphics are lovely especially when you get to the castle they brighten up considerably; though in some of the darker scenes it is hard to find an item.
2--help button is useful not only in the HO scenes but elsewhere and recharges fairly quickly.
3--interactive HO scenes where you have to find/open items to get items; also not only is there a list but parts of items to combine in order to get one.
4--Also items are true to the time period which I really prefer.
5--voices are good and give you clues as to what/who to look for next.
6--lots of locations to got to and an interactive map which shows a picture of the location so you can easily transport there (beam me up Scotty!).
7--a journal and a task list that you can easily refer to.
8--mini games are good some a little more difficult than others and they are skipable.
9--To me this game played longer than the regular SE, close to a CE, all that was missing was achievements and collectibles.
All in all I found I really enjoyed this game though for some others it may take getting into it more before they find they like it. If this is the developer's first venture they did a great job for a SE, HO'S, adventure with a little romance thrown in. The only fault I found is that they left some characters hanging out there with no resolution.

Loved the Game
I had already decided I was going to buy this game after 30 minutes.

Mysterious Adventure
Demo is less than 1 hour long and ends just as you get to the good part. So even with your suspicions of the possible outcomes, you have to buy it to find out which scenario it is. So good mystery and adventure with a good mix of FRAGS and HOS - some are very bright, while others tends to be monotones. But all objects are crisp and clear. You have an interactive map and a diary with listing your current objectives as well as a journal of your findings and thoughts. Can't wait to find out which of my visions is right.

A refreshing return to basics
This is a game made with care, You can see it in every little detail, from the wonderful music and sound effects, to the artwork and story line. I guess it;s one of those "form beats function" things, since Fairly Twisted Tales is first and foremost gorgeous to look at. The story is nothing special and there's nothing new in terms of gameplay. Still, it's worth your time and i highly recommend it.

Fantastic Hidden Object Game
I played the demo and then I bought the game. The graphics and the story line are very good. It is true to the real story of Beauty and the Beast. I would recommend that you play the demo. I thought that the game wasn't too hard. I finished it in about 5 hours. Way to go Big Fish! Please keep these kind of games coming.

More than fairly excellent tale
I tried the demo and then had to buy the game. it's an excellent revisiting of the Beauty and the Beast story and I have given it 5 stars for the storyline, which really drives the game forward. You interact with quite a number of characters on the way: all represented just by a picture when you talk to them, but well-voiced. I really liked the way you find out more about all these people as you go through. There is a good element of suspense in that you don't really know what's going on and have to find out.
Other good points are the luscious graphics, and the music. Often I find the latter really annoying but this works with the story and doesn't distract.
You get an interactive map, which is good as you cover a large area, although sometimes you might miss a clue if you jump back and forward too quickly (I nearly missed talking to someone as I'd gone straight to the wrong place).
The HOS are of two kinds: find-things-on-the-list (with some interaction) and find-all-the-bits-of-the-object. Not only are the objects in the first sort appropriate to where you're looking, but if you found them once they disappear from the scene the next time. My only complaint about the HOS would be that you sometimes have to backtrack to a place you thought you'd finished with in order to find another object. I did resort to the help button a few times, to find where on earth I should try (played on hard mode).
The other thing I mention, though it doesn't just happen in this game, is that you find something but haven't any idea why you need it. All is revealed later but occasionally you want to say to the game, "but why do I need to cut/open/pick x?"
The various puzzles are challenging enough without being too difficult and the whole game feels more like a CE than an SE. All in all an excellent game.

Stunning graphics, new twist on Beauty and the Beast
Playing this game was like entering a fantasy world, I was in no rush to finish it because the visuals were so captivating. A whole new twist on Beauty and the Beast! It was challenging enough to keep me focused , the HOS were not too cluttered. NO bugs either!
I highly recommend this game. Wish there was a CE!

What A Beauty
I was thrilled to play this game. Keep my interest. Well maintained game play. Lots of things to remember some say they would not play over again, well that's to bad. Cause I most certainly would. I found the game was long enough to keep me well entertained. Lovely color & graphics. Great game I think w/CE quality. Please can we have more of this kind of game w/out buying the CE version. No collectibles, but I don't believe u would need it in this game. Keeps u very very busy.
Thank's BIG FISH for a wonderful SE.
