For puzzle fans who like a bit of an adventure it's a must try
This is a unique and different game, you play as a man who has lost his memory and doesn't know why he is in the middle of a jungle and he is trying to get back to his wife and child. It is part of a trilogy so don't go expecting a 100% tied up storyline or you will be disappointed. It's also not a standard hidden object puzzle adventure so if you are looking for that then pass on this.
You have the option of playing this in 360 or using arrows, this is good as it immerses you more into the game and you have to remember to look up as well as down. The puzzles are challenging but not too hard. There is an option in the trilogy to play puzzles in an easier or hard mode - I love this and wish more developers would do this. This has the feel of tomb raider/indiana jones. The whole game is set in this 'jungle' so don't expect different scenery.
The hidden object scenes isn't what you are used to but more find 15 same items, or find related pairs and there aren't that many of them. This is a game for puzzle adventure fans.
At the beginning you will find you think you can do something but realise you need to accomplish something else first so you have to go and find that first. You explore a lot at the beginning to get a feel of the layout and where things are (it does open to more areas later).
If you are looking for something different, a good storyline, nice puzzles (if not that original) then do try this.
About the other games in the series -
The 2nd game in the series is set in a very modern, office type setting and didn't like it as much. This game is the best in the series and then the 3rd and then the 2nd game (in that order). I played all of them as I wanted to know how the story ends!

I played the 3 "The Fall Trilogy" FANTASTIC!!!!
I was waiting to be on vacation to play the same day one after the other "The Fall Trilogy". What a fantastic trilogy in deed.
I recommend to start from Chapter I, then II and finally III.
Nice graphics, puzzles, and interesting story! Any way...it seems "will continue".
I highly recommend to buy all three.

Not to my taste
The one hour trial version was very interesting and caught my attention as being a very challenging game. Once I got the game, the puzzles did prove to be very challenging and worth the effort to solve them. The music and sound effects were in keeping with what I would expect in a game.
Due to my background, I prefer to deal in a series of logical progressions that challenge your mind an keeps your interest. In several games, I have found these qualities to be very high. Unfortunately, this game did not keep my attention. Several sections of hidden objects were enticing and fun. Then I noticed they became more of an exercise in eye strain and frustration than genuine search and find. The storyline had possibilities, though it failed miserably as the subject was eaten up with other distractions with the exception of a remembered wife, child, etc..
My review is very subjective and from my view point and should be considered accordingly. This may be the game for you but, it wasn't for me!

Nice Trilogy
I enjoyed the 3 dimensional play with great graphics, nice challenge, not to difficult although I did need the walk through at times. It did have me curious enough to buy all 3 chapters. I did enjoy these 3 chapters, however, someone compared these 3 games to Tomb Raider. I would agree to some extent but, I'm sure that same person would agree with me that it's not a PlayStation game all the same, it has it's limits compared to PlayStation's Lara Croft. I do recommend these 3 Chapters.
