Book of Legends

This game should open with a big BOOMING voice, saying the "BOOK OF LEGENDS!!!!!" Epic music, as a brother gets a raging clue with his sister in their quest to find the sword excalibur. When you find the sword, you know it is the correct sword, because it will say EXCALIBUR SWORD on the blade, with made in china maybe on the other side who knows. There are shady guys who will ask you to steal priceless artifacts, from crowns, to terra cotta warriors, jade statues, paying you 80$ for these priceless treasures, the economy of the hidden object world sucks. This puzzle game is for advanced hidden object hunters only, this game runs on nightmare difficulty. New players may want to avoid this game until they bone up on their Hidden Object skillz. There is a hint button to press, or keep pressing, but why bother with a puzzle game if its just to beat the game, its not an RPG with some epic story, the fun is in the puzzles. What makes it difficult is often there will be objects the game looks for that you cant click to see what they are, meaning if the name of an item appears like a censer and you don't know what that is you are SOL. Other items are hidden behind other items or pho…

I'm not a big eye spy fan. I don't play them often enough to be an authority on the genre, but this one was a major disappointment. Book of Legends has a couple of kids looking for the sword of Exalibur based on hints from some ancient book. It's roughly 4 hours of fetch questing which is unrewarding in itself, but then the game ends unspectacularly--it's unfinished, only offering half of a story. There are also several times where it is unclear on what exactly you are supposed to look for. Now there are a couple shining aspects to the game, like the dialog between these two kids and the fact that the story actually holds interest, but it does require closing your eyes to how two kids have unrestricted access to all these different locations. Being only half of a game, I would definitely recommend staying away from this unfinished product. If it told the whole story, I'm positive I would recommend the opposite.

Disappointing cliff-hanger ending, but otherwise satisfactory.

Fun and light-hearted. It was perfect to play with my 5 year old daughter. Unfortunately, it ends on a cliff-hanger, but part 2 of the same was never made, so you never get to see the end.

fun gameplay

A hidden object game with puzzles. Sadly it's so bad, even the over-the-top voice acting won't save it.
