Good long game
Worth every cent. Best game for a while.
"Stonehenge" is Electrifying!
This is a magical portal fantasy, with a bit of a sci-fi zest to it, involving the magnetic activity of contrasting elemental forces around Stonehenge that threaten to destroy two worlds; of course, you set out to save them. I like the duality of the two worlds in which you must endure the related hardships that each one inflicts; for example, in the icy world with temperatures below freezing, you will teach the inhabitants how to survive and also fight off an evil-minded tyrant who wants to maintain his rule by disrupting harmony between both worlds. The graphics are adequate enough in that they are fairly clear; yet, they could use some tweaking to improve the sharpness of details. The coloration is quite mesmerizing as it emanates incandescent and prismatic tinges to induce a mystifying and spellbinding ambiance. You may customize your settings. The inventory is labeled and interactive; items require assembly. In custom settings, the teleport map enables fluid transport to labeled locations and indicates available actions; you can also choose the option to show collectibles within each location. In addition, through the map, you can access your collectibles and the Zoological Garden. The Tasks Book records your updated tasks and the various scattered notes that you collect. The HOS are interactive, varied, and puzzle-like; sometimes they are structured as multi-layered sequences whereas one form will introduce another dissimilar form. They are cleverly intertwined within the storyline, such as when you use the remote key to turn off the lasers protecting the tent; and then you use the Thermo Regulator to detect items. On the contrary, the puzzles are disappointedly repetitive and mundane; most types are of the "one move affects the others" fashion. You can adjust the difficulty level for many. You have several sets of collectibles, including in the close-ups, that are well camouflaged; and the flickering symbols above the inventory are meant to let you know that you can collect one in that location. Transition between scenes has a second of a delay; however, it is not a hindrance at all. Thankfully, I have not encountered any glitches. Overall, the coveted features are present. Furthermore, the storyline is unoriginal; but it still maintains my attention. I took off a star for the lack of diversity in the puzzles, the need for sharper graphics, and a more in-depth journal to chronicle the story. I do suggest this one. No rats spotted, by the way!

L.O.W. - Stonehenge - simply stunning!
Each labyrinth gets better than the last (each plays as stand alone unique story). This one is the best yet in my opinion. Artwork is bright and stunningly beautiful, storyline new and unique, custom difficulty, has a good transporting map, even tells you if special items are available and the type (morphing, statue, other) are indicated on the inventory bar and....a DIARY! A real backstory updating full out diary! Characters are fleshed out, extra objects aren't easy to find either, and puzzles are sane. (No vermin so far) Definitely worth the time to play! Verdict: buy!
