I have to agree with a lot of other users. I found the game boring, cartoonish, and the music was awful. I found the hidden objects were not easy to spot, but, if you just clicked on something that didn't look quite right, it turned out to be something you were looking for.
I guess after playing the Phantom of the Opera, this game looked especially mundane. It's a pass for me.

Not a buy for me -- too many problems. Black screens at the most inconvenient parts, game froze.

This game is definitely NOT a buy. Objects are way too small and sometimes too fragmented.The music is ok. The graphics themselves aren't bad. And I have to agree, the game is somewhat boring.

Demo'd for 30 minutes. The first "storyline" graphics were so beautiful, crisp and clear I thought "allright!!!!" it's gonna be a joy to play this game.
Then the scenes came and they were NOT crisp. I like iHOG/FROG and am in agreement with others who say the objects were either too easy or WAY too difficult.
I am with rainice in that I like to stay away from occult and supernatural things also. So, I was really excited to think we had another "positive" game as I call them. I thoroughly enjoyed Royal Trouble and Snark Busters but this game IS NOT in that caliber. Even I thought it was sappy -- and that is telling u something!!!
Maybe i'm cranky today  but I found the fairy thoroughly annoying.
I even need to buy one more game this month for punch card fill up but it won't be this one.
Boring, sappy, just plain out no fun.

Get your observation skills prepared for this one- it is a keeper. If you are like me, you don't want a HOG game that offers you the objects. I used a magnifying glass a couple of times and take my time. and you can, there is no time limit.
Enjoy the lovely graphics as you locate diamonds, they are very easy when you focus on what you are seeking.
A Very Fun Game, minis are different and doable.
Just one thing, I do not care for jigsaws of any sort, or putting pictures together, same ol'-
Happy Halloween,

The graphics have to be topnotch for me to enjoy a frog and this isn't even close to good enough.
I didn't even make it through the tutorial. When the tutorial says "click on this" for part of the broom and you click but don't see it. Then, it says "click here" for another part of the broom and you have no idea what you are clicking on...it's a bad sign.
Plus, it kept fritzing in and out with the music and wasn't playing smoothly. Which is weird because just about every other game plays fine.
Not a keeper.

I was really looking forward to playing the demo on this one, indeed i left it till last ;-) but i have to say that this game is ridiculous. Trying to find objects that are tiny and the same colour as the background they're on is not my idea of fun. I'm talking to those marbles!

I definitely will NOT buy this game. It took more time "loading" scenes than I had actually playing the game. I just couldn't get into it.

This just wasn't a very "Hold your interest" game, played about 5 or 6 minutes, thats about all I can take, Its a NO BUY for me!

The game is not that bad, really. It's more for younger ages, though.
The graphics are clear and bright, so that's a plus. The gameplay is just too simple for me, simple clicking and finding parts of things without any really good animations/interactions and figuring anything out.
I was bored with it quickly but younger ages who like a romantic cartoonish storyline and learning how to find objects, this would be a fun game for them.

This game was trying to be a good IHOG but imho kind of failed. Music is very repetitive & characters in scenes were very wooden. Sometimes had to click on items several times to pick up. Hints kind of slow & not real helpful, ie: "Use something in your inventory" Most games the interactive object makes sense-but how would I know to put the whip by the base of the chair?  Hints REALLY slow on the puzzles too--finally gave up on the "turn the lights off " Good effort, but not a buy for me.

Well I think I played for 20mns, most of time waiting for the hint button to recharge, clicking on it but the little fairy even didn't want to say me what to do....
Boring game
Never be a buy for me, even though it was falling to a 3,99 game.
Tome, it will be very soon...

The Duke of Earl will be a no buy for me.
With so many HOGs / iHOGs / jHOGs / aHOGs etc being published, I want to wait till something unusual - spectacular - comes along.
Maybe something between Buzby Berkley and the Ten Commandments...
I wonder how long I'll have to wait for the next game of the year?
Picky in Alaska.

I bought this game outright yesterday without even demo'ing as I am a sucker for the beautiful scenes in the game. I actually really liked the game. I did have to use the hints more often than I would like in the prince's chamber but other than that, I was finding most objects fairly easily. I did not experience difficulty in finding the diamonds that others spoke of. I found the scenes to be quite pretty and even though the story is a little sappy, it kept my attention. I was thankful to not spend the whole game searching for keys & rungs to make ladders and appreciated that there was variety in the pieces I did have to locate. This game is more of a FROG than HOG, but I still found it enjoyable. One thing I did notice, particularly with the fragmented pieces, is that sometimes you had to click them more than once before the game would respond. The hint timer seemed to recharge quickly enough for me. The mini games weren't groundbreaking but weren't run of the mill either. I consider it a game credit well spent and I would rate this game 3.5 stars.
