![]() Worse still, however, is that we actually managed to break the game, which in turn forced us to restart. The music, too, often seems to break and skip a bit in places - which doesn't really make much sense, seeing as it's being read from a cartridge, not a CD. Thanks to the genuine lack of visual clarity, there's even an easy way to tell what objects are ones you can click on, and which are part of the background - but we'll leave that for you to work out!ĭisappointingly, it's not just the graphics that seem a bit unpolished. While it never causes too many problems during the hidden object sections, it can certainly cause plenty of headaches during the normal game, as you'll often simply not be able to see an object you need - like a mirror fragment - due to how well it blends in. While it never gets so bad as to render the game unplayable, the lack of contrast between items and the background, and the general blurriness of certain objects does make things a lot harder than it really should be, especially when you're hunting for objects around the castle generally. And while the grainy graphics wouldn't usually effect our enjoyment of any other game, in a hidden object game, the visuals are of the utmost importance, as it dictates how well you can do the puzzles. The only problem - and in fact, it's a problem that underlies most of the game - is that the whole thing feels more than a little bit ropey around the edges. Alternatively, some of the hidden object challenges have you looking for a certain type of object - usually under the heading "evil objects", where you'll be tracking down skulls, scary looking faces, and, er, snakes. There'll be a pretty varied selection for you to hunt down, but it's always fairly obvious what the game wants you to look for - which is something of a rarity for games like this, which have obviously been translated from another language. Here, it's up to you to find a number of objects from a list the game provides. Skull, documents, some sort of bean standing on a thimble. ![]() When you go into the hidden object puzzles proper, however, you'll be on your own. Thankfully, they're usually fairly easy to spot, as most of the objects that have been scattered around the castle will sparkle and glisten, although there are a few exceptions. ![]() Even when moving from room to room in the castle (done by touching big arrows that appear near doors, or the edge of the screen), you'll have to keep your eyes peeled, as clues, or items for certain puzzles, and mirror shards are hidden amongst almost every room. ![]() It gets the balance just about right, with enough simple spot-the-object puzzles to provide a much needed respite from the trickier brain teasers, as you waltz around the castle.Īs a hidden object game at heart, everything about Princess Isabella requires a lot of observation. ![]() Providing a great mix between traditional hidden object game style challenges, and the more taxing, logic based, Professor Layton style puzzles, Princess Isabella is a lot of fun to play. ![]()
