I just finished the CE version of this game. It was pretty good, for the usual reasons, and lasted a gratifyingly long time. Lots of running around, but a good Map for zipping back and forth. It is pretty creepy (well, it does have "Hangman" in the title ~ ha ha ha). If you are into "collecting" items during the game, it has this feature, but if you miss one in a scene, you can't usually go back and retrieve it later as past scenes will close. I will say, though, that the difficulty level on the various mini-games varied quite a bit. I played on the Hard setting, and even then, some of the puzzles were too easy to be fun. Then again, for some of them I had to switch back to the Easy setting to solve them. Casual games are a bit more enjoyable if they are more consistent than that. My guess is that if you played the whole game on the Easy setting, you'd sail through all but the three or four hardest games. The mini-games tended to be repetitious, as well. Several of those "Rotate-and-Switch" games and also the ones where you have to block your opponent from filling the screen. Overall, I would rank it no more than the Top Thirty of such games I have played.

Thank you very much for that review, Reenie. It is most helpful!

And yes, when I see "the hangman returns," I am not expecting anything very cheerful.

I just bought this in the latest Big Fish sale - despite having zillions of still unplayed other games

Just couldn't resist

There's a support group for you here - we understand these matters.

And, Oh, I am SO in need of therapy !!!!
