And to do that, you are going to have to go to the Underworld and release her stolen soul from the grasp of Phobos. Phobos is the bad guy here.

The game's audio-visual presentation depicts all the tension and drama of this love story as it develops. Most of the scenes in the game are in one of the shades of blue. 

There are four modes of difficulty, all named theme-appropriately: Mage's Apprentice, Wizard, Sorcerer, and Warlock. Hints and Skips are adjustable (5-240 seconds) as in most CE these days. You are given a map and a strategy guide to make you way through the game and never get lost.

The gameplay seems to be quite interesting and well done. You can stay here for that, even if you are not too fond of sweet romantic stories like that. The hidden object scenes are creative and offer a good variety of search types. Then there are puzzles that come in different kinds and difficulty levels. You can use Dark Compass to see things hidden from you but that about it helpers wise. Be on the look out for collectible hearts and enjoy all of the downloadable media extras, like music, wallpaper, concept art etc...

It is a great sequel to the series. All of you, romantic souls, are going to enjoy it!
