Review:
In Living Legends: Ice Rose, you play a young woman determined to save her gullible beau from becoming the latest of this icy enchantress’s willing thralls. The story behind this game is somewhat typical, seemingly ripped right from the pages of a book of fairy tales. We’re not given a ton of insight into who the Ice Witch is, or why she wants to turn the world into one big block of ice; we just know that she’s bad news, and if she manages to find all the pieces of a rare magic mirror, the world as we know it is doomed. While still a beautiful game with amazing graphics and art, I felt like the story was not intriguing enough to keep me interested in the game. After a while, playing it became more of a chore then a hobby and it bored me. All of the backtracking to be done is also annoying. The hidden object scenes are not very original and it’s repetitive. They are also very hard to look at since items will be scaled to various sizes. Everywhere you go, you encounter locks of various types that coincidentally enough, are always missing some pieces. Your job is then to go forth, find the pieces, unlock the lock, and move another four feet, in order to complete the next incomplete locking mechanism. This is one game that you do not want to complete in one day nor replay it again. Even with that, I enjoyed it and played it to the end.
Rating: 4 out of 5
