The Cure of the Insomnia!!!
Merlin speaks so much and so slowly ... I almost fell asleep!
Almost only HOS, and the images are so tiny ... is almost impossible to see, even more in notebook.
The mini games do not bring anything new, and they are easy and silly.
Very Boring Game

Meh
The artwork on this game is really good, however some of the HO are so small, you need a magnifying glass to find them. The puzzles are too easy. The story line is interesting, however the narrating by the wizard gets annoying because he speaks so slowly. This is a good game for the 10 and under set.

My kind of game!
I love playing this game over and over. I am partial to hidden object games that aren't tough. This one is truly fun. I don't have to do a lot of thinking to move on to the next level. If I start a game that takes me place to place with no help, I loose interest, and this game keeps me peeled to the screen. It is very relaxing, and passes the time with ease. Some objects are small, but not too tough.

Fun!
King Arthur--What a classic! AND a DD!
This HOG/Puzzle game is not hard, challenging if your old eyes are at play though
The graphics are wonderful.
The music is mellow & for once no werewolves, demons, or gore.
It's good versus evil.
The HOG scenes can be challenging, as some things are tiny, but the interesting hint system (you earn hints & recharge for ruins) is unique.
Merlin speaks like a patient old man-like a professor of folklore.
Story is skippable after awhile, no click penalty unless you click fast. Puzzles so far are rather simple, but interesting.
Worth it for DD, and to fill punch card, kid friendly

Terrible
This game is terrible. The game uses endless narration to progress the "plot". The HO screens are either inanely easy or impossible with no hints.

Couldn't get into it
This game was just awful. Though the sound and the visuals were ok I just couldn't get into it. The scenes were extremely busy which somewhat adds to the difficulty and many of the items that needed to be found I didn't recognize the items and ones that I was sure met the description were the incorrect items. I would not recommend this game.

I am Aurthur, King of the Brits
I played the trial version & I'm downloading the full game now. Yes, some of the objects are pretty small, but no smaller than in the early MCF games. There are 4 types of hints you can use in the game, and you just need to collect certain sets of runes to recharge them. The puzzles are easy. I enjoy King Aurthur stories and the journal keeps to the standard version of events. It is a fun & relaxing game.

A Lot To Like About King Arthur
Interesting storyline, told by Merlin, of how King Arthur came to be.
This HOG/Puzzle game is not hard, challenging with some of the smaller items.
The graphics are beautiful and you go from place to place on an ancient map.
The music is soft and not annoying as a background.
For the challenging HOG scenes use your spells (hints by another name).
The hint system is an interesting part of the game - you earn hints & recharge them by collecting the different types of runes as per the rune menu.
Merlin does speak slowly and softly but I didn't find it annoying.
His instructions are clear and precise.
Puzzles so far are rather simple, but interesting.
The most challenging puzzle is the squirrel one - you have to be very quick or just wait over the hole until the squirrel cycles round.
I liked this game and it is worth buying at $3.

Lesson in History
I liked this game from the very minute I started playing it. The voice of Merlin totally mesmerized me and kept my attention. HO's are bit challenging, but that's the fun part. You have a map and a journal. Be prepared to put on your racing mouse to collect the necklace fragments from the squirrels. Some scenes are repeated, but with different HO's.. Sword scene has a lot of look-a-likes, so keep a good eye. A good lesson in history with pleasant background music. I bought it.

History Meets HOG and We Win Fun!
Seldom does a game with a historic base so deeply immerse you in the era of the story. The runes to power hints, Merlin's slow put very clear naaration, the Medieval style music and graphics all bring the tale to life. The "good" rating for graphics is due to the smallness of some of the items and that some are very similar. The hint system is unique and the basic hints don't require much rune hunting at all. Only downer is that you have to use the special hints wisely because once they're gone, you can't fill them again in that scene. But in all else the game is excellent for its type. Give it a try ye knights and ladies and you may be well rewarded by an excellent game!
