Not much they could do to make this better.

I was amazed at the quality of this game, the graphics and music were good for the type of fantasy enviroment your playing in, it's quite a long but unique game so you won't get bored with it and it was brilliantly set out; easy to follow, fun, addictive. I think the only dissapointing bit was the fact that once you've completed it you can't go back and chose a bit that you like to play again, to do that you'd have to create a new game save (you can have up to three) and play through the game until you get to the part that you liked. There are only seven different typs of enimies but that's ok because through out the game the common ones get different weapons. This a list of them and a description:
1. Green Goblin, easy to kill, not very hamful.
2. Red Goblin, a bit harder to kill, but still not very harmful. May have armor.
3. Bull Goblin (purple), Takes quite a few hits to kill, quite harmful. Usually ouy of reach so you will either have to use Jared's catapult or Simon's gobstones (gobstones are one hit kill). (There is a Bull Goblin called Red Cap who is more like a boss than a normal Goblin).
4. Beetle Mimic sprite, only one in whole game (HINT: it's in the dark forest) Takes shape of your playable character all though it will be slightly purple. It will have the same fighting skill as you.
5. Swamp Troll, only one in whole game, feed it Goblins and it will let you pass, will eat you if you're not careful. You can eventually turn it to stone.
6. Mole Troll, only one in whole game, chases you in the caves. Run away or it will eat you.
7. Mulgarath the Ogre, you don't fight him directly you have to kepp running away and he will follow you and then eventually you lead him up to the top of the house and Hogsqueal eats him.
(There are also Fire Salamanders but there not really enimies, if you ouch them they hurt you though.)
Another goood feature are the Sprites, there are ten altogether (including Beetle Mimic) once you catch them in your Sprite net you gain a usable power or Gobstones or Fairy Fruit (Fairy Fruit lures hard to catch fairies). Once you've caught all of each species of Sprite in the game you get a tick in your check list. List of Sprites and what they give you:
1. Leatherwing Sprite. Heal.
2.Royal Orchid Sprite. Protective toadstall ring.
3. Will-O-Wisp. Distraction.
4. Flower Winged Sprite. Speed Boost.
5. Flower Head Sprite. Whilwind.
6. Bellflower Sprite. Damage boost.
7. Pondskater Sprite. Invulnrability.
8. Beetle Mimic Sprite. Changeling.
9. Stray Sod. Gobstones (reward).
10. Sprout Sprite. Farie Fruit (reward).
(All these powers only last a limited time).
I advise you get this game it has done wonders for me and Oh, did I mention you can also play as Thimbletack!!!
