In order to reveal the pages of the Magicians Handbook you must travel to the dark and mysterious Cursed Valley and remove the curse that has haunted the valley. Set out with your trusty wand in hand to find enchanted objects hidden throughout the valley that will help you to break the evil spell. Using incantations that you learn along the way, you can ward off the shadow and other distracters of light. Can you remove the curse from the valley and rediscover its true name?

3 out of 5 stars Just a bit blurry   December 31, 2008

I liked the storyline and one of the two end-of-level games, but this game is tough to play because the screen is just a little blurred. I'm pretty sure it's not my computer, and it plays the other hidden object games (Mystery Case Files and Hidden Mystery) with crisp, clear perfection. Even with the eye strain, though, this is a decent hidden object game since it has plays on words and really well-concealed objects. Be warned, though, the last level is near impossible...

This game is worth it if you already own all the stellar hidden object games and are looking for something new at a decent price. It would not be my first choice if you're new to the genre, but if you're an old hat it's a pleasant enough new weekend diversion.

I've played a bunch of hidden objects games and this is one of my favorites. As another reviewer said, some of the items are a little hard to find and some of the words (in the word game) are hard to find, but overall I think it's one of the better hidden objects games and recommend it. I did need help in the last round of the game though, but this isn't the first game I've needed help with either (for those of you who've played, think Madame Fate puzzles).

I like the game even though the objects are somewhat child like to find and the words that you need to find to cast spells are sometimes difficult. There are times when some of the objects are not what we expect them to look like. I would buy it or give it as a gift for those who like these type of games.
