Fairy tale mysteries:The Puppet Thief
Well I looked at the review's prior to buying this game, it kind of put me off a bit, but then I decided buy it, and glad I did, yes it does not run for long, but the graphic's and the game play is very enjoyable AND FOR $4 99 good value, it is a game for beginner's as well as Intermediate, the puzzles are easy and the ho's are easy to find, so if you want a relaxing game that is none stressful, this is it. enjoy

just ok, will not be buying
I played the demo and felt an old school vibe throughout the game. The graphics are odd, in some places excellent and in others horrible. The game seems sluggish, the foot steps in between each scene take much longer than in newer games. The puzzles were fun and the story was somewhat interesting with the Brothers' Grimm aspect added to it, but the oddness of the new "old" game will prevent me from buying.

Bored after 15 minutes
I'm writing this having done only 15 minutes of the preview session. I won't be buying it! I t looks like it should be good, but I can't get into it. Haven't got past the first room, and I'm not that bad at the logic these games usually take. So annoying to be able to see the implement you probably need, but not have it be collectable/usable

Beware the Angry Mob!
This game has a playful creep factor without being disturbing.
Items in the puzzles were cleverly disguised/camouflaged which made for a nice challenge. I enjoyed the historical tidbits in the journal that gave a bit of background information.
The lack of a map and task log are a bonus if you want to figure things out on your own but might be confusing for a player who suddenly finds themselves lost.
My only complaints were two objects hidden off-screen that required me to use the hint button to find them and the angry mob spokesman's facial expressions didn't change while ranting and raving in the cut scene.

Really enjoyed this game
Good graphics, storyline was one we've seen before, but that's okay. Lots of HOS, and I managed to progress smoothly with just the hint button. However, it was very short!

So Far, So Good
I can only give a limited opinion at this time since I have only played the trial version. So with that said, so far the game is good. I am sure I will purchase it, but not right away. It's an interesting Brothers Grimm story thus far in which the childrens' souls have been taken by some Puppet Master. He has been able to control the adults as well. The town is in an uproar and is ready to spill blood and do whatever it takes to find these missing children. It is up to us as a Brothers Grimm detective to solve the case. The visuals aren't as sharp as I like them. But they're not vague and cloudy either. So far, the environment is a dark one. But it is expected since it is a Brothers Grimm story. But it's not so overbearing that you have much difficulty in your HO scenes. There is no map of any kind. But the hint meter does seem to fill up rather quickly. The mini games thus far are not difficult to master. The diary is only for maintaining information that has already occurred and for magical messages sent by the Brothers Grimm organization. But not for providing further hints or clues as to what you should do next as compared to other diaries in other games. But you won't need it for that anyway because any tasks you need to do next are not difficult to figure out. It's more of a common sense thing. Overall, thus far, I would recommend the game. Play the trial and see if it fits your tastes.
