The first thing I thought of when I saw the title was GK2 because the audio tour of Neuschwanstein was incredible. It should be interesting to see how much, if at all, the castle has changed in the past 20 years. I just downloaded the demo so I hope it doesn't disappoint. Susan

I've played a few minutes of the demo and it's just one piece of dialogue followed by another with the odd HO scene and puzzle thrown in for good measure. I don't mind dialogue in a game, but this is just overkill. Susan

Although the s scenery is well done, items in the scenes that need to be added to inventory are very hard to spot. HOS items are also hard to see. I clicked through the dialogue since I can read faster than the characters could talk. Not a buy for me, even with a coupon code.

Will not be buying this one.

I'm not even gonna finish the demo, which is unfortunate because I quit before I even made it inside the castle. There's a reason why it only received 2.4 stars out of 5 on BF's forum and more reviewers gave it 1 star. Susan

Laurette Addicted Boomer Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 2,845 Marietta, GA	I'm playing this game and enjoying it, or was. Have just left the area with the,I believe, altar puzzle. Was missing one symbol, found it, and now that area is locked. When I use the hint, I keep being referred to the camera/UV, email screen, etc. Have looked at BF's forum, and don't know what I'm supposed to do next. If anyone knows, please help! Thanks.
