Mystery Stories: Mountains of Madness is rated 4.0 out of 5 by 107 .

Rated 5 out of 5 by jkcbd from Fun game Good Storyline I liked this game, it didn't have the usual "locked in a house" style of play being that it was in an outside setting with the caves and snow. I also didn't realize it was based on a book so it made the storyline different than the usual HO games. I played it on the difficult level and still found it fairly easy. I liked the hint in the corner which let you know what your current task was supposed to be. I wish it was a little longer but it came as a bonus game on a disc I got for Christmas so I'm definitely not complaining. It was my favorite game on the disc.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ts1sds from Lovecraft Would Love This Game I read the Lovecraft novel that this game is based on many years ago, and I am very impressed. The graphics are beautiful, the music is haunting, and the story just pulls you in. I especially like the fact that you get to play two different characters as the tale progresses. Mini-games were interesting and just the right level of challenge. I hope we see more games based on H.P. Lovecraft novels in the future.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Madagascar123 from Greate Scify atmospheric game I really like this game. Pro: 1. I like the story line, which relate to ancient species and exploration. There not that much similar games around. 2. I like the graphic and music. 3. HO scenes are pretty clear, not junk pile. Con: It is a relatively short game

Rated 5 out of 5 by turkthesnake from Great DD! I actually came across this game a while ago and couldn't justify paying full price for it. By all accounts, it was shorter than most of this genre (true). Every now and then a daily deal comes along that you were actually hoping for, and this was mine. It lived up to all of my expectations. The story was enthralling. Towards the end you are switching between the two members of the expedition, which I expected to hate but which was actually kind of fun. You pull off a rescue on a team with yourself (who better? ;)) I found myself using the hint without even trying to figure things out (a rare thing for me) just so I could find out what happened next. The graphics were superb. For the most part, you are in an icy city built by a mysterious race. It was beautiful. Bonus, if your favorite color is blue (mine is!) Hidden Object Scenes were standard.There were a couple of times where you had to move a box or find another object on the list first before you could find a particular object. This happened rarely, though, maybe 5 times throughout the game. You revisit scenes and the previous HO's are not magically reappearing in the scene, which I like. You also often get multiple objects out of the HOS, which I really like (there is no "I just saw a wrench in the last 5 HOSs and now I need one, but I don't have one!"). There are achievements, but they are mute. They are basically markers for how far you have come in the story. If you finish the game, you get all the achievements. Nothing annoying about them, but the devs probably could have saved themselves a little time. They are rather pointless. All in all, yes, short, but they nailed it on every other point. Worth a try. Who knows, you might get too enthralled in the story to not finish it :).

Rated 5 out of 5 by magius74 from Great game with lots of Atmosfear! Fans of HP Lovecraft will appreciate this game for the great sense of atmosphere that has been brought over from the book. It really feels like you are searching through an alien and incomprehensible landscape with it's own rules. It reminds me of the old PC game Gateway 2 Homeworld. If you are not familiar with Lovecraft but interested in this game, do your self a favor and read At the Mountains of Madness and then check out this game, it will add much more to the experience. Besides, IMO, At the Mountains of Madness is probably the most approachable Lovecraft "Mythos" story and it's pretty short. You don't have to be a die hard Lovecraft fan to enjoy the book or this game.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 3dVoid from H.P. Lovecraft would love this game This is a rare homage to one of the greatest horror writer ever lived... Graphic looks stunning and the overall game is very well done...level of challenge is ok, the story is well written....overall a very nice game... Very well done guys, please make more H.P. Lovecraft based games :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by cowclaudia from Great game With the added bonus of having advice and hint icons (and not having to buy a Strategy Guide, my pet peeve). The blizzard sound effects put me right in the mood. Most of the games were interesting and not too many HOS!

Rated 5 out of 5 by PhillieKat from Buy it! This was a great game. I purchased the iPad version and I was so impressed with the graphics and the 3 dimensional movement in some of the scenes, that it added to the overall experience. I enjoyed this game from start to finish and would highly recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Melvin2 from Great Game w/ a Sci-Fi theme I loved this game. It was a little different than most BF HO games because of the science fiction theme. The HO scenes are relatively easy, but some of the puzzles are a little more difficult than many other games. There is, however, in addition to the "Hint" for HO scenes, an "Advice" button for what to do next. It gives progressive clues as to what to do next starting with just a nudge. The graphics were fine but nothing stellar. The story was really compelling, provided some excitement at the climax and had a satisfying end. Heartily recommend!
