The Fangs Are Out! I'm Wearing A Turtleneck Tonight! – Vampire Legends: Untold Story of Elizabeth (Full) Review

Fellow Players: I just glanced at BF's Facebook page and saw that "Lost Lands: The Wanderer" has been released for PC/Mac; there's a short YouTube video clip available. This means that it should eventually port over to iPad. Since information is not yet noted on FIVE-BN's website, I'm not sure whether Big Fish is releasing it or the developer will be releasing it directly; anyways, can't wait! I love vampires; thematically, they are my favorite material across all genres of entertainment, including movies and literature. The ambiance here is appropriately malevolent and noxious as you traverse around an old medieval-styled village set in a desolate and shadowy area in Hungary; you meet various characters within the village pubs and shops who warn you of the sinister countess - she being an evil lady who strangleholds the citizens in ceaseless despair and apprehension. The artwork exhibits graphic and macabre imagery, such as the cold and silent stares of the faces of murdered victims with their blood-stained throats; the horror-stricken screams of young, innocent maidens as they are on the brink of demise; and the red-piercing eyes of a mysterious, baleful villain. The graphics are substandard in quality and presentation; they lack a polished and refined sophistication with regards to the sharpness and clarity of details. The colors contrast each other at times; the darker background brings the brighter tones, such as the iridescent candles and the moon's glare, into focus. Custom settings are absent; you are restricted to three choices, which, depending on your selection, preclude one from rebuffing those nettlesome sparkles and tapping penalties. Inventory is labeled and interactive; items require assembly. The map is rendered as fruitless; available actions are not indicated in the second mode. The HOS are threadbare of novelty and cleverness; there are no distinct elements to differentiate them from the traditional forms that we have interacted with during the past few years. The puzzles are simple, recycled, and uninspiring; you will intermittently slide bars of image segments to form a picture. The collectibles are mostly conspicuous in setting; they are descriptive in nature, which adds a sense of revelation. I feel as though I am playing an old-schooled Eipix game; for example, lousy graphics, no custom settings, and an inadequate map. In addition, there's a shortage of originality and imagination, which largely diminishes any attention-grabbing aspects. Big Fish prematurely released this game due to the horrendously erroneous "Puppet Show"; this game ceases to rectify that shortfall. I hope we are getting a surprise on Thursday in the form of an additional game. My true rating is 2.75 stars; however, I am giving this 3 stars due to fluid transition and a glitch-free experience.
