  • Summary: Hans Christian Andersen's classic tales are filled with fantasy, folklore, and wonder. The Ugly Prince Duckling takes you and your family on a new adventure – on a new medium – playing Andersen himself. Meet the Princess. Day after day she gazes longingly out her window upon the fascinating world below her. On her 15th birthday, tired of her boring privileged life, she decides to leave the royal palace against her father’s wishes in search of adventure. Along her journey she meets young Hans Christian Andersen – a poor teenager struggling to make his way in life, the Little Mermaid, the Ugly Duckling, and other characters made famous in Andersen’s fairytales. Meanwhile, lurking in the dark shadows, the wicked Master of Darkness begins hatching his evil plan. Without the protection of the palace walls, he kidnaps the Princess with help from the Trolls. He plans to expel the King and transform the kingdom into a Troll’s realm of darkness. Your job is to save the Princess and the kingdom! Easy navigation allows you to take complete control of your character in full 3D. Collect objects like the Magic Glow and Tinderbox, solve fun puzzles, and enjoy lots of game action that will keep you on your toes. [The Adventure Company]… Expand

    Hans, it seems, is poised to continue his adventures so hopefully the interface will get some attention to make it more responsive. That taken care of and Hans Christian Andersen's adventures would be something to look forward to.

    Even if the game is a bit frustrating due to the controls, it is still a great homage to Hans Christian Andersen.

    An interesting adventure game with a fun theme of fairy tales, best for kids with patience, due to the difficult interface.
