Bravo!!! Elephant Games has done it again!!
I played the demo and this game is a must play and a must try. The storyline is amazing and it deals with the undead. a curse and a lady in white who is stealing souls. Its a little creepy. The grafics and sound is very good.HOS are not dark and you can find everything ok. You have a plane crash into the city of the dead and you have to help save souls. Beware of the lady in white for she is NOT a nice person... If you like the supernatural then this is the game for you. You have 3 game modes to choose from. Theres no map but you can collect little devils.Happy gaming fishies....

Excellent Elephant Game
Brilliant, beautiful graphics, good storyline. Elephant Games did it again. I have had a very pleasant weekend! Now waiting for the next game to come.

Not for me
Don't get me wrong, there is nothing really wrong with this game, good storyline, graphics and music were terrific, but just not for me. I was wandering around thinking "what am I doing? what next?" I could not get a feel for this game....there was something missing for me, which I can't pinpoint.
I did like the raven, I love quirky little things like that, but sadly, it's not enough for me to buy this, even as an SE when that comes out.

Not sure why such great reviews
there are some difference but very few, unsure why the great reviews. Not a great game just so so . Some of the game does not flow together greatly. Could have done much better.

Imaginative!
I' m really more of a Mystery Case File: 13th Skulls, Dire Grove, Shadow Lakes, Ravenhearst and a good Edgar Allen Poe plus a Sweeney Todd for fun -- and then Vampires and then any game that has disturbing stuff like Asylum, Infected and well you get the idea. However I found this game imaginative and a good play. Nothing disturbing or gross but the challenge kept my interest. If you play in the advanced mode, refrain from using the map it does stretch the muscle between your ears.
Thanks for bringing us the game.

Fab game.
Elephant have come up trumps again. Loved this game, not to many HO's and a great storyline which I prefer. A very good atmospheric game and keeps you enthralled. Just can't wait for more elephant games, keep them coming.

The Third Title in the Hallowed Legends Series is a HIT!
I've always enjoyed all the Hallowed Legends games and this one definetly does not disapoint at all! I was shocked at the sexist remark from Underthebridge about this being a mans game and for that reason she scored it 2?! Come on, do people really still review and score this way? A review should be unbaised and rated and compared to other games in its genre on how well it stacks up to the rest. User opinions should be posted on the forum and talked about but this is a review. I do know trolls live under bridges.
The game has full motion video and most text is voiced. Hallowed Legends has always been like this, right from the first of the series and does it better than any other HOG series. What I really like about this game is the atmosphere and characters that I've seen so far. Skellies are always cool and if you check out the extras, there is lots of them for your desktop!
The story starts with a spirit/demon of some kind, and not the usually dark figured characters, this one is pure white with evil eyes and she is taking the spirits from people (so they say but people are skellies and asking to help them). The puzzles are some of the best I've seen so far, fully testing your math skills in some, similar to a few Myst style. I won't spoil any of the story, I can only say you will like this game a lot if you enjoyed the last HL game!

The Adams Family Would Be Proud!
I have a collection of games from this developer and they just keep getting better. There are skulls and skeletons running amuck. They grunt and groan and make the most unpleasant noises. There are disembodied heads,graveyards, goblins to collect and a talking raven companion with an attitude problem...and that's just the first hour.
I always enjoy the live talent in these games. This version is full of achievements and bling for the computer. The graphics are gorgeous. As usual, there is a good balance between adventuring,HOS and puzzles. I split my time between remarks of "OMG that's so creepy" and "look at the cute skeleton!"

Elephant = Winning!

The Bomb!!!!!
This game has it all; good story line, graphics, vo's etc. It has achievements and collectibles. I don't usually write reviews, but just had to say I love this game

Not what I expected
I have to say I was disappointed with this one. The game didn't 'flow' like I usually like; seemed too choppy or disconnected. I liked graphics and the skeletons who were cursed was kind of a fun aspect, but didn't finish demo since I really wasn't into it. I hope others enjoy!
