Intriguing and challenging game
I'm from the "old school" of adventure games, dating back to King's Quest and Myst. This can't complete with those full version BIG BIG games, but it's a nice alternative to all those annoying hidden object games.
The puzzles are quite unusual and integrated into the story line (and some of them are very challenging!) What's best is that even if you choose to 'skip' some of the puzzles, the rest of the game is still fun.
The graphics, music and even the voiceover acting are all top quality.
A bit short (at least for experienced gamers) and I don't know if the 'Collectors Edition' is worth double the price of the game since I didn't play the regular one, but $14 does seem a bit steep. Still, it was fun and I'm looking forward to the next chapter in this well made series.

Gorgeous, challenging, beautiful game. Perfect :-)
The best game on here so far for me....and i have played lots! The puzzles are great fun and challenging enough to make you think, but not so much that you need to skip each puzzle. The visuals and music are mind blowing - i really loved every bit of this game. 100% worth its money. I am now going to buy the prequal, and cannot wait for the next episode!

a shining gem of a sequel
in this hidden object puzzle adventure, our beloved heroine and future queen, Iris, has escaped imprisonment in the Painted Tower and is relying on you to continue helping her. in this sequel to the Painted Tower, your task is to solve the mystery of the three beacons and of the shadows that prowl the streets of the Kingdom of Stonebriar.
graphics: gorgeous, whimsical, delightfully imagined and beautifully rendered. the puzzles are quite unusual and require a bit of thought to solve them. i especially enjoyed how the hidden objects and the puzzles were an integral part of the storyline.
music and sound effects: lovely background chorale-style music. few sound effects, but with such evocative music, who cares? the voiceovers, which were also scripted, were lovely to listen to.
storyline: a simple plot, really, but the characters, graphics and music are so stunning and everything fits together into a truly captivating and satisfyingly complete picture. although this story is well-developed enough that this game can stand alone, it?s more engaging if you play it after you?ve finished the first game in the series. on first glance, this game appears to be a children's fantasy story (and in fact, it will appeal to kids), but this game is also rich in metaphor for more adult themes -- it certainly gave me plenty to think about when i wasn't actively playing it.
gameplay: this is not your traditional hidden object game that has HO scenes and a corresponding list of items to find. instead, important items are scattered through the game and it's up to you to discover which items should be collected and where they should be used. the game primarily consists of finding items that are used to solve puzzles. most items are used rather quickly after they are found, and none languish in your inventory for long periods of time. there is a hint button (no limits on hints used nor recharge times, either) and franklin, the narrator, also provides advice that is as helpful and as detailed as most walkthroughs. gameplay is smooth movement with no freezes, stutters or hiccups.
my interaction: one hour demo. i love this game and the series is my absolute favourite hidden object adventure game series. although i do think this game is a bit pricey, i still purchased it since it can be replayed and still maintain its freshness and mystique.
this is such a fascinating and imaginative game that i think the entire family will love playing it together. like the first game in the series, i absolutely LOVE this game and HIGHLY recommend it for kids of all ages.

Hidden Objects
I thought it was a good game and this was my first time do a collector's edition. The 1st and 2nd Drawn I enjoyed more and they were not collector's editions that I played. It was a short game I would like for it to have been longer.

Fun game for kids and adults
My girls and I enjoyed the whole Drawn series. We played together taking turns clicking and had a lot of fun and consider it money well spent.

Why I don't do CE's.
I loved the first Drawn. Very imaginative and incredible puzzles and graphics. This one was boring for me and the extras were not worth the money at all. It was short and has made me very very selective about CE.

Harder Game Than It Looks
Beautiful game, good storyline, and completely different from all the others. I am so disappointed in myself - I had to skip 3 puzzles to finish. Geez, what a weinie! I plan on playing this one again to see if I can get that perfect score...
