I got this game for christmas and was at first apprehensive because I don't normally play on games like this. However, once I got started I found the game interesting and exciting, with a good structure and storyline. I was immersed in this game for several days, as it was complex enough to stave off my best efforts to defeat it for quite a while!
I really liked having the subgames and mini tasks, although I found some of them tedious (for example, trying to find my way around the dungeons!). The graphics are excellent - they really help to bring the game alive!
However, the end is an anticlimax - once the witch is defeated the game ends and you can't do anything else. I think that they should have continued the game on a little bit.
However, the game is great fun and I would recommend it to anyone!
