I know I should wait until our fabulous Mod has posted a new game post, but after a spate of time management games BFG have got this Collectors Edition and I got a little excited, but it won't download. I am confident BFG will get a fix if it is required, I just want confirmation that it isn't just me.

Mine has downloaded and played smoothly (Vista). Initially, after playing 40 minutes, I'm impressed. You need to move through multiple scenes (very atmospheric) in order to find pieces of objects, solve rather easy puzzles, and get into the castle to, presumably, awaken the Sleeping Beauty. The Strategy Guide does show inthe demo, although I'll likely wait for the full version next month rather than dropping 3 credits on it.

I have downloaded this game and find it is very sluggish....runs quite slow. I am able to play the game regardless of the speed. I suspect it may be straining my system. I am on XP or I may need to update directx. Will go try some things before I pass judgement. There is a skip feature, the penalty for that is 5 miniute delay in the hint recharging. The game offers many nice features.

I've even tried sneaking up on it and pressing the download button when it least expects it. It's knows I'm there!!! Patience isn't one of my virtues.

Downloaded and finished the demo, didn't have any problem. Interesting game, story, liked the mini games, not too difficult but entertaining. The only downside for me is looking for the parts of the objects, not my favorite type of HOG.

OMG! It's downloading. I think BFG have come to the rescue. I'd just taken Cards of Destiny out of it's cellophane and was ready to rock! Don't know what to do now... I hate not having a new game waiting for me. P.S. Thanks Marian
