? and downloaded it without playing the demo first. I guess I?m half through now and still totally enthusiastic! Astonishing locations, real actors, welldone gameplay: found items are used topical. 3 modes to choose from. 8 chapters plus bonus-chapter. Very helpful hintsystem: telling you what to do next. We have an interactive map together with a tasklist. Lots of iHOS of that kind, that you have to combine some of your items out of your inventory with items in the HOS. Many minigames, some new, unfortunately not very challenging ;) And what I appreciate in a CE: We earn achievements and collect (the typical surface) flowers. With these flowers we are able to restore different areas in our philanthropy. All in all - although this game is not very challenging - you have a lot to do and find out and that?s just great fun!! Again: Elephant Games did a good job!

I finished all the demo and I am getting ready to buy the game. I have become selective about what CE games I buy. This game is well worth the price, The story line is great as well as the graphics. The voice overs are very pleasing. The puzzles are not real challenging but very pleasant and does not distract from the story line nor the entertainment of the game. I love the interaction of the HOS and map. It is not the same run of the mill dark sinister same old story line game. Thanks

This is only based on an hour's play, however, I felt compelled to write a short review as this game has completely taken my breath away! I absolutely love Elephant Games, and they never fail to deliver...however, this time around they've completely outdone themselves! The story is absolutely fascinating and a completely new concept, the graphics are (as always) stunning, the music and sound effects are brilliant, there is plenty to do in each new scene, it's very challenging without being frustrating, there are achievements as well as collectables...simply put, they know what works (for example, Surface: The Noise she Didn't Make, Unfinished Tales: Illicit Love) and have stuck to the blueprint. Thus, if you love other Elephant games, you'll be blown away by this one :)

Great adventure game - played the previous 'Surface' games and loved them, this is going to be another hit!! HO's clear and not a jumble, mini-games, up to now, fairly easy, a lot of talking but not a problem to me. Real people/achievements/collectables/good graphics/music blends. Great storyline, about men with wings....what's not to like????? More of these type of games please!! Highly recommended.

Review as usual of finished game - CE extras and bonus at bottom Elephant is back at the flagship of the series ? surface. I say that over MT as they always seem to have put more effort into surface ? never repeating old areas, new transporter maps as well as achievements, collectables etc. See below all the extras they have. I did love this game, surface has a different feel than their other games and even from each other. Although the first one IMO is the best and the second one was close - this for me didn?t beat them. After having so many fairy tales recently it?s good to see them back at this type of game, even though I enjoyed some of them and it was different this is my favourite type of game from them and I am glad they haven?t forgotten their old customers. After the fairy tales this may seem more male driven with elements of steam punk but it?s very clever as there is a more feminine thread of a storyline throughout so again it appeals to both sexes. I?m not at all mechanical and I don?t think there is much of that at all in it as I don?t like that and I as a woman loved it. This is not for men only!! Although I'm sure after all the fairy tales they must be relieved with this game! There are no witches, demon possession or anything like that in this game. I was a bit disappointed as they did go back to a short bit of an old area, although some added things were in it. The transporter map is a bit different as it?s not entirely new ones, but more a scrolling one with old areas locked and then hidden. So you need to look for all your collectables as you go as you can?t go back. The live actors which I love they still need to work on the lip synch. If the game is going out in English can?t the lip synch be in English? The voiceover is in English. 25 PUZZLES (all the ones that had a skip button on them) I nearly despaired at the puzzles in the demo as they were so easy and so mundane and also at the small screen most of the puzzles seem to be in. I like

"Your brother is kidnapped during an air show. Search for him in a beautiful world where the sky is as wide as your imagination." This game is a stand alone in some way's but it doesn't hurt to have played the other games. I beta'd this a while back and have been anxiously waiting for the release. I found the storyline to be engaging and when my time was up it was a Nooooo moment. The colors can be grainy in areas but not enough to bother me since I would rather have a great story over graphic excellence any day! I won't go into what the game includes since others usually cover that well, but I will say this game is worthy of being a CE #imho# Happy Gaming.

What a beautiful game!! These devs always have great graphics, but this time the HG Wells-ian aura takes it way beyond. I love the futuristc sci-fi gadgets drawn with the Victorian flair! The HO scenes are great...really not cluttered and yet so fun, needing items you are holding in the inventory. The mini games are really lovely to look at, even if they are not very difficult. You can really see that a lot of time and effort went into the art work in every area. As with the other Surface games, you collect flowers but this time you can use them to buy items to fix up different scenes...so cute! The game has a transporting map and an interesting journal where you can review scenes plus the hint button tells you directly what you need to do next...not really much need for the SG. I absolutely love the storyline and look forward to continuing to follow it. I also enjoyed the background sounds and the music. The whole package is simply excellent...this type of game stands head and shoulders above the usual fare.

Such a great game! The only thing that didn't make it perfect was the fact that the hint button told you exactly what to do. I hate that! Directional hint buttons are way better and less hand holding. However, there is a jump to map that is easy to understand. Hint button fills quickly. I'm buying! You will have a great time with this one, my fellow fishies:)

Just like the others this one is fun and not that hard to play. The graphics and voice over are good and has good music. Has a good flow and the HOS are different. The puzzles are good also. The hint button is very helpful if needed and has a map. Good game.

My first thought on this game was that it proves the theory that you shouldn't leave your genius, mad scientist brother alone. The game itself works well, the sound is clear, the pictures sharp. Just watch clicking things close to the bottom of the screen as you will usually move yourself back instead. The strategy guide is precise and useful, the hints don't hint they tell. People with wings is a facinating concept, but, this is a game so there is a bad guy. And his minions.
