HOGS: There is a nice variety and I'm truly enjoying them. I always love the Egyptian themed graphics, and the storyline that goes with it. The hidden object scenes are nice but easy, just as the minigames and the entire game. The Hidden Object Scenes are varied, with finding Keywords in a Sentence etc. The hidden object segments and the puzzles during the demo, which was quite short by the way as I finished it in 42 minutes. We played Dark Romance: The Monster Within on the easiest difficulty mode, rarely skipped any puzzles, and completed the game in around four hours. If you are new to HOPA games and not sure about puzzles, then there is a skip button available. There is usually a puzzle, sometimes two, to solve. I've been playing this game for 2 hours and I still quite a ways to go.

Oh, and if you just don't like HOPS, you can always switch to a mini game to help complete the scenes. The remaining extras are always found in CEs such as a bonus game, strategy guide, etc. We get easy to find Collectibles, wallpapers, art images and a bonus chapter.

Graphics are really nice in this game, though, just like the animations.ĭark Romance: The Monster Within - the Collector's Edition - comes with all the goodies one expects from one.
