One of the best HOPA games I've ever played. Interesting, lots to do, plenty of HO scenes and puzzles, lovely art, nicely designed game world. The fantasy setting is fairly standard, but everything hangs together. As a major bonus: you get to use one of your earliest tools throughout most of the game!

Pros:
- nice art, music, setting
- choice of difficulty levels
- fully interactive map
- extended bonus chapter
- first of a series that (mostly) keeps up the standard of the first game
- HO scenes and puzzles/mini-games vary in type and challenge
- nice collectibles

Cons:
- if you are an achievement hunter, this game will make you really work for your achievements

Overall: Get this game. If you're a casual player, play on casual or normal, and use hints or skips if you're really stuck. There's lots to do and plenty of straightforward HOPA features. If you like some challenge, you're in for a treat. 10/10
