 Tech Support Unresponsive June 3, 2008

Despite the fact that my system exceeds all the stated requirement, the game would not load properly. The manual gives an email address for tech support however repeated emails never rendered a response.

This is one of the very best games ever. Others have described in detail about the game design, so I won't repeat them. What I want to add is that my family of 2 teenagers and 2 middle-aged adults were on the edge of our seats throughout the game! My teens didn't start playing the game with us, but as they watched us play, they sat down and then insisted that we not go on without them. And, even though there was work and school to deal with, we put as much of that aside as we could and played the game together every night! Now, in my opinion, that is one riveting game! It is scary, but not gross. The puzzles are hard, but not impossible (I think we went to a walkthrough only 3 or 4 times for help). The story is fascinating and the game play is lusciously long. I can't recommend it enough.
Couldn't get game to work on Vista May 22, 2008

Because the game didn't work the first time, we sent it back to Amazon and they sent a replacement immediately. Unfortunately, we couldn't get that one to work, either, on our Vista operating system of our pc. Wrote to the company that put out the game to see if they had a suggestion, but they never responded. We are very disappointed overall, as this title looks quite interesting. We can't recommend this game for any pc owners using the Vista operating system. Would have been nice to have gotten some communication from the game manufacturer. It's not like it's difficult to answer email, people! Poor customer service from the manufacturer, but at least Amazon tried.
Lots of game and art to enjoy - abrupt ending though May 20, 2008

Know that I love to watch people play point-and-click games because I love the graphics and like the feel of the game being like a movie. I buy point and clicks so that both my wife and I can enjoy them. We also like a game that has a good mystery and a jump factor like any good thriller should. The lost crown does have a cohesive and `long' storyline. The only problem that I found is that the back-tracking and picking up clues is a little over the top. There was only 1 point where my wife and I jumped (no spoilers here) and the characters for the most part were well done. For sure well worth the price simply for the length of the game if not the beautiful landscapes displayed. Note, the environment is black and white which is a little much to get used to, but I for one love black & white photography, so it was a pleasant surprise with the implementation of watching the main character travel through the beauty displayed.
Here's how I conducted my start rating:
1) Pretty good scripting & dialog, the voice acting was well done
2) Graphics performed well, the implementation of actual black & white photo's was fun
3) Overall performance of the game to include installation was solid (only one glitch)
4) Storyline was good, long, but extremely convoluted; hard to keep track of, disappointing ending. Nixed a star over this point.
5) Clues, hints, and adaptability for the most part easy to follow (having a walkthrough will greatly help)
In the end, both my wife and I were not satisfied with the ending; however we did feel that we got what we paid for when it comes to game content and graphical eye-candy. I would for sure encourage other's to check out the game; in no way did we feel disappointed in paying $30 for this game.
Wonderful Game!! May 15, 2008

I bought The Lost CrownThe Lost Crown: A Ghosthunting Adventure based on the reveiws on Amazon because it sounded like the Nancy Drew games which I thoroughly enjoy. I loved it and hated it for not being longer. Though it is rated for Teen and up, it is certainly a game people my age can enjoy (I am 57). Highly recommended.
