Fun:
This is a nicely paced point and click adventure game. It isn't a hard game to solve the puzzles and has some humerous touches. It had quite a lot of jokey references to well know films and video games. There are four characters you play as during the course of the game. Most of the time you are playing as just one of the four, but there are times where more than one character is in play and you need to work out which character is able to do what ever is required.
On the down side is that at times, the game can seem to have too much chat.
I have played the whole game and during chapter 4 the game suddenly crashed. The writers of the game have released a patch on their website which you may need to download if this happens whilst you are playing.

Fun:
The Book of Unwritten Tales is a first class point and click adventure with first class graphics and is a joy to play. Just for a change the story line actually made sense unlike may other games I have played. The puzzles are all intriguing but don't need the brain of an Einstein to be solved. Saying that, my old fingers had some difficulty with that annoying Rain Dance! All in all I can honestly say it is the best game I have played in a long tine. Recommeded. Buy it!

Fun:
So much to say about this game, but for me the most important is the fact that you will become immersed in it. The characters are alive, the scenery is alive, everything about this game takes you and places you directly in the story.
The attention to detail in this game is phenomenal, as others have said, the voice acting, its the best I have ever heard, and I have played a great deal of point and clicks, as well as games with a much larger development budget.
This game was made to the highest standards I have seen in a long time for this genre. Outstanding
