    BASED ON COMPLETED GAME

    BRIEF IMPRESSIONS
    How spoiled we have all become! We do expect so much more of games than we did even just a year ago.

    This is a good game that was hugely popular when it was released, only 18 months ago. But there are no voiceovers, few sound effects, barely heard music. No useful hint outside HO scenes (“Nothing to do here right now”). There is no map, interactive or not. The HO scenes themselves have no animation, they are almost all interactive lists, with very limited interaction, and visited twice. The puzzles are, now at least, all familiar. How many of us would as enthusiastically recommend it today?

    And this IS a good game. The gameplay is absorbing, the graphics are high quality and beautiful, the puzzles are interesting, and everything moves at a good pace. The story is fairly old hat – the Ice Queen has been released by gullible men she has lured to do her bidding, and your silly fool of a husband is the next in line. You must save him and the world by destroying her power, and end the endless winter. This game tells that story smoothly integrated with the gameplay, keeping us busy as we delve deeper into the frozen land.

    One thing that was really well done was the transformation of scenes from winter to emergent spring. It’s my favourite special effect I never get tired of it, and I love the way it is done here.

    FAMOUS LAST WORDS
    If you want an immersive wintery experience, one that is comfortable and relaxing, rather than thriller material, I think you’d enjoy this one.

    I Recommend This Game!

    Living Legends 1: Ice Rose

    I played these out of order, and can say that this first installment is much like the second (review of #1 HERE), so I will concentrate on the differences.

    • NO voiceovers
    • Graphics pretty, but not quite as beautiful as in the second game
    • Standard hidden object scenes only
    • NO in-game achievements
    • NO Collectibles (or pet)

    Collector's Edition Extras:

    • Bonus Chapter
    • 6 Wallpapers
    • 4 Screensavers
    • 3 Music Tracks (don't see a way to save them)
    • 24 Concept Art
    • 14 Movies
    • 27 Puzzles
    • 14 Hidden Object Scenes

    The Bonus Chapter continues the story, and I have to say, it's a bit unfair that those who bought the Standard Edition (non-Steam) didn't get to play this - it both gives some important information that you truly need to fully understand the story, and gives you the true ending... Otherwise you're left with a cliffhanger that won't be resolved by playing the second game!

    Despite the fact that Ice Rose lacks the polish that was present in #2, Frozen Beauty, it is still absolutely worth playing. Okay
