Yes, I'm really happy. Every game in this series got my Best rating and I've already replayed them all, even as recently as they were issued. They don't bury you in HO scenes, the puzzles are pesky enough to be fun, they are long-playing games ~ definitely worth going for the CE, too, for the extended play there, as well ~ and the ideas and situations are original. (I know, why don't I just say how I really feel? )

I just finished the main game and am starting on the Bonus game. Definitely worth going for the CE, because you don't want this game to end. It holds up the franchise wonderfully. Once again, it is an HOA that feels like a "real" Adventure game. The cinematics alone are worth the price of admission. Camera angles are constantly varying, putting different perspectives on the action, like watching a well-directed, story-boarded feature film. The things you are faced with executing, and the "puzzles" you must solve make sense in the real world and don't feel forced like in so many other HOAs. (There is no equivalent of finding a Cricket bat in an off-world Ice Planet.) The story line really means nothing, and I don't mind that. It is all about the game play.
