  I'll give this game a positive review but be warned, patience is required while playing. The main issue is the nonsensical use of many items. You get to the point where you just try every item on every place you can. For instance, place a bottle (completely empty) on its side on the floor and all the bugs and spiders scuttling around will crawl into it. If only! Also, you'll use a knife or hammer and throw it away, only to need a similar item a few moments later. I really wanted to throttle the main character. Okay, my rant is over. That aside, the game is quite well done. There's a map with fast travel that, though it doesn't tell you where actions can be performed, DOES tell you areas where everything is completely finished. There's also decent voice acting, spooky music, gorgeous scenery, and fun cutscenes. There are ingame achievements and you earn Christmas decorations for each one you complete. Puzzles CAN be extremely difficult - mainly because at times it's difficult to figure out what they even want you to accomplish. However, this is a Collector's Edition so it comes with a strategy guide. (Or you can hit "skip" like I did with a couple >.>) The CE also includes a bonus adventure, music, wallpapers, and, ya know, the works. Considering the great Christmasy atmosphere of the game, I know I'll play it again at some point in the future. And I'm guessing that most hidden object/ puzzle fans will enjoy this adventure. (But WITH patience, remember) :p

  [h1]Short version: 73%[/h1] This nice little hidden object game offers many types of puzzles and hidden object scenes, extreme levels of running around for vaguely defined items, and a bit surprising yet still predictable supernatural story with nice voice acting and a Christmas edge. [h1]Long version:[/h1] Many hidden object games use a missing sister and an evil magic-wielder as the main plot elements, but rarely we see the two of them combine into the same person like in Christmas Eve: Midnight’s Call. As an even more interesting twist, this supernatural rescue mission also adds saving the very spirit of Christmas into its plot, which results in a story that is both rather clichéd for a HOG, but still strangely unique in its own way thanks to moments like Santa Claus giving us tips on how to battle a malevolent sorceress. Saving Christmas is a large task, and facing Christmas Eve’s point ‘n’ click mechanics does not make it easier—prepare to have your bag always full of items and to make several blind guesses on where to use them. Luckily, the conventional puzzles and the hidden object scenes chose to be merciful with the players, so they offer variety instead of sheer difficulty.
