Loving this game! One of my faves, even w/ short trial.
It's a very short trial. I had to decide if I wanted to buy or not, and given the lousy games from BF lately, I truly did have to think about it for a while. I'm not all the way done, but I'm fairly far along and I don't want anyone to miss out on it while it's on sale.
Bottom line: I'm SO glad I purchased this. It's got a few gimmicks/quirks that make it unique, but there are still some of the old-school things I love. I RECOMMEND THIS with 5 stars.
The good: GREAT storyline that really works. Lots of cutscenes and voice overs that move the story along. Lots of locations. Easy to use teleporting map that works, great hint button if you need it, labeled inventory, fun and challenging mini games/puzzles, lots of HOPs, and it's just a lot of fun. No creepy protagonists to help, no glitches or slow loading times. Just a fun game that has enough novelty to not be the same ol' same ol'.
The bad: some of the voices are a little goofy, and if you don't like things jumping out at you, there are a few places that are a little spooky (I don't mind them, but honestly, I'm trying to be objective because this is the best game from BF in a LONG time). And they really should have made the trial a little longer.
I've got to go back and play more now; I stopped playing long enough to share -- but I've got to go back to the courthouse and find out who killed Elizabeth...
