Maestro: Dark Talent Collector's Edition

A night at the opera has gone seriously wrong in Maestro: Dark Talent! A singer who goes by Diva comes out of nowhere and is giving her performance when the entire audience, including your friend, Kate, are taken away by the dark forces to have their lives drained from them. The game starts with a bang as you are leaving the opera house and need to acquire some dynamite to remove an obstacle.

You progress in this hidden object puzzle adventure game as you collect the various items necessary to banish Diva from the world and saving her victims.

Those who have played ERS Game Studios' hidden-object adventure series Maestro: Music from the Void and Maestro: Music of Death will find that Maestro: Dark Talent lives up to its predecessors. Those who are not familiar with the earlier games in the Maestro saga don’t need to worry, as this game does not depend on knowledge from the previous games.

The game is complete with beautifully detailed artwork, good voices, and an interesting storyline. The minigames are challenging enough to keep your brain turning, but not so complicated that you’ll feel utterly defeated.

This game, in fact, the whole series, brings out the maestro in us all! Excellent for the musician, or for the fan of opera and Victorian-era art. The collector’s edition includes an interesting bonus game that involves a mysterious box and also allows the player to replay the puzzles and minigames.

The collector’s edition includes a strategy guide and concept art, music, etc. as well. This really is a cool game for the lover of pseudo-Victorian mystery.

This is a good game for those who like a good story and challenge.
