This game was a twisted take on the story of Cinderella. Who would ever think Cinderella and the prince would be gold diggers and the stepmother would be kind and caring? The graphics were gorgeous, the gameplay was addictive, and the inventory usage was novel. Expect magical occurrences when applying inventory items. There was a plethora of magnificent tasks to accomplish. The game was a decent length.
Unfortunately, the game had some very negative aspects. I had to skip a mini-game which did not work properly at the end of the second chapter. It was impossible to place the circles correctly because they automatically went into the incorrect circle. Then when I finished a mini- game perfectly in the bonus adventure, it was not recognized as correct. The text was tiny and difficult to read in certain areas. You could not enlarge the screen during the HO scenes. Elephant kept putting exclamation points when there was no available action at the specified location. I have told them time and time again not to put a map mark unless there is something to do right at that moment. Otherwise you have to search every location with an exclamation point to figure out what to accomplish next. They don’t listen and correct their mistakes. For these reasons, I must deduct a couple of stars. Remember, too, that there was a fatal error in the bonus chapter, but it was repaired. Still, there should never be a fatal error at all! So my rating will be three stars for a game that should have gotten a higher rating. It’s very unfortunate because the graphics were fabulous and the general gameplay was wonderful.
