HAS EVERYTHING IN A GAME I LOVE!
This game has it all for me, great VO'S, cut scenes, beautiful graphics, great music, FROG'S and game play that flows easily. This review is on the DEMO only. The hint system is so good you don't really need the strategy guide, and with that said probably don't need to buy the CE unless you like the Bonus Game and all the extra's that go with it. There are a lot of extras in the game that you have to find which definitely adds to the fun factor. Since I have a gazillion games, I have started to be really picky in the games I buy and only buy the ones with the features that I stated above. Hopefully the FROG's will continue throughout the game. I'll buy the CE since I'm one of those that like all the extra's.

****** A SIXER ******
Colorful, fun, thinkable, and just plain good. One of those that you can understand, but still have to use the hint button.
Finding objects, using them, games...
Have fun all.
It just better not end, the second I buy it...

Let The Music Begin!!!
This is based on the demo only, so I have no idea how long it will be or how many chapters it consists of.As with the rest of the Maestro series you will not be disappointed. It has everything you have come to expect from the series.I say this without going into the specifics. There are no voice overs, an in game strategy guide[bonus for those of us lazy folks] or in my case it's about patience[LOL]. Some games take days to get through because I like to puzzle my way out and quite frankly I don't care about timing. I would have given this game 5 stars down the board except for one small issue that I have to say is a personal thing --I do not like looking for shadow/outlines of objects! And the object are no where to be seen , You have to figure out what to open,knock over,push or pull with no guidance what -so-ever.Now I have some patience but this was just plain annoying!.I do however recommend this game to all and wish you happy gaming. Bravo Zulu B.F. Maestro Please!!

Another good ERS game
This is a pretty good game just like the others. Sometimes the music could be not so much. has voice over and good graphics. The hunt button works good if needed. Seems pretty easy so far. The HOS are easy and so are most of the puzzles. The HOS are different.

Very worthwhile
This game has it all, the HOGs are good and there are changes between lists of things to find and shadowed objects to find.
25 musical instruments must be discovered along the way with a surprise at the end when you have them all.
The graphics are good and the scenes not so confusing that you lose your way all the time, so a map isn't necessary.
The storyline is the usual one, missing people, save them, then save the main character, but it's all very acceptable
A good length of time...
Worth the money

Maestro 3 "plays" to win!
This is the first Maestro game I've played, but I immediately bought the first two as well. The third in the series has it all -- a great story, clever puzzles, instruments to collect with a reward at the end, and a bonus game that wraps everything up nicely. It has three modes of play, and the strategy guide is not really needed as the game play is rather straight forward. The puzzles are new and different but not too hard in casual mode. Some of the HOS are interactive, most are just lists. The hint button refreshes quickly, but doesn't give hints, just a pointer. Using a violin and music to solve different problems is new and refreshing. What a great game!

The Easiest Game of the Maestro Series
Well, I wasn't expecting a game that was so easy but that is what I experienced. I have all the Maestro's games and I honestly felt that the prior games offered more.
I do not want to miss lead the game was good but I was just expecting a great finale.
BTW the artwork was more than great.
Just a nit -- one of the HOG scenes had Comb in the inventory list but it was a brush that cleared the Comb from the list.

Music to my ears!
Loved, loved this game! Similar to the other ones; however, really fun to play.
I'm on the intermediate level and did not need to use the SG. Perhaps, I'm getting better, but found the games to be easy. They were frequent and fun so you didn't get bogged down. All task were varied and there was some back and forth but not excessive. The hint button was excellent in directing you to locations and I found it was not often needed because items were used at a nice pace. The whole game was smooth and the graphics were excellent! Not a lot of gloom. Music was similar to the other games and as was the story line.
I have not yet played the bonus games.
I highly recommend this game .

This game is really fun
I very rarely do reviews but this game has really caught me. The games are so different and it moves so smoothly. It is hard to stop and pause. Very good!

OK Hidden Object/Puzzle/Adventure Game
Background music is beautiful, but very repetitive. Strategy Guide is good, with both text and pix, depending on which you prefer. In casual mode, the strategy guide is not necessary. Outside of Hidden Object scenes, hint points to task, or in direction needed to travel. Good journal. No map, but it's not needed. Most of the puzzles are easy in casual mode. Some are slightly difficult. Two types of hidden object scenes: standard with a list, and find the shapes. In find the shapes, you use one object to find the next.
The story is Good Against Evil. You, the game player, are an expert at fighting evil spirits. Although there are differences from the last two Maestro games, this game has the feel of "Same 'ole, Same 'ole" ... "Been there, done that." I'll pass, but play the demo, you might like it.
