Haunted Legends: Monstrous Alchemy Review
The graphics are excellent with good voiceovers but it is a bit odd that the lip-syncing seems to be a hit or miss sort of thing. The remaining extras are the standard fluff but for new gamers the in-game strategy guide is always a benefit. The sound doesn't manage to match the top quality of the graphics, unfortunately. If you prefer the CE version of games the Haunted Legends: Monstrous Alchemy has collectibles, artifacts and morphing objects to be found.
Game play was excellent. You have an interactive, transporter type map to help you move quickly between locales. I think all levels of players will find this one fun for one reason or another. I always love the Egyptian themed graphics, and the storyline that goes with it.
But if you want an easy, funny game then this game is perfect for you. Music: Fits the game just right. This time it doesn't get outright booming. The remaining extras are always found in CEs such as a bonus game, strategy guide, etc. I just don't get what's up with the cartoonish graphics.
Thanks for the reviews. As always, I review mostly on the game play and leave the story to others to review. This is the newest game in the Haunted Legends series. The Hidden Object Scenes are well done, again the devs have done a nice job of keeping the items true to the period of time.
Music wise, carries the mood of the game very well. All in all I highly recommend this game. You truly do go on a nice little adventure. The heart-pounding music and the creepy ambient sounds also help increase the suspense of the game. I Love this game and find it to be the perfect way to spend a rainy Saturday morning, in fact I had to pull myself away to finish my housework.
The hidden object scenes are nice but easy, just as the minigames and the entire game. The Mini Games are very doable, most are of good length and entertaining. The CE version of the game is rather light on extra content although there are morphing objects and some fairly "in your face" collectibles to find. The graphics are beautifully hand drawn which the production team has become famous for in all of their games.
I'm really liking what I'm seeing from this new game. The graphics weren't all that bad. Puzzles are simple and don't take any brain power to complete, but done well. One of the best features of Haunted Legends: Monstrous Alchemy is the superb drawing of characters and scenery.
This Collector's Edition has 10 Wallpapers, 10 Concept Art pictures, 9 Avatars, 6 Screensavers, 16 replayable Mini Games, 4 Music Soundtracks, 22 replayable Hidden Object Scenes, a built in Strategy Guide, a Bonus Chapter.
