Overall, this is a fun game that has alot going on in each level. However...the inability to upgrade to get more gold and bricks early on is frustrating and makes it hard to get stars. Some tasks require 100 gold and when you can only get 10 at a time from the mine and an occasional pile on a stump (which loads VERY slowly), it makes each level take 20-30 minutes to finish. It just seems like I spent most of my time running and collecting to finish a building, only to discover I needed even MORE gold or brick for the next one.
I recommend this game!

Well, there goes the excitement to see a TM game! Oh my...why this pound and run has a CE price is beyond me. It seems like the challenges that were in the earlier versions are gone and it's been cut down to a basic collect and build game. YAWN! NOT worthy of a hefty price tag that's for sure.
Also...music. What is with the Sounds to Fall Asleep by music? Where is the creepy kids choir? Where is the original music that made it fun to listen to? How many more negative changes can they make to this series?
Suggestion...wait for the 6.99 price to come out. This is NOT worth the CE price!
I don't recommend this game.

What's up with the glitch on Level 28? Why release a game that can't be played past a glitch they didn't fix? WE waited sooo long for a TM game and this is the offering...
I don't recommend this game.

Why Dev's lately think that bright and gaudy is the way to go is beyond me. This "refreshed" is way too bright and hurts the eyes. Tons of glitches, slow play and cartoon graphics. The older versions were fun and easy to look at. This looks like a grade school class did it.
I don't recommend this game.

Even with the lower price, this game is still visually on overkill. I found the levels to be overly busy and almost confusing to play as it was hard to determine where the actual gameplay was because of all the stuff they added in for graphics. Watering trees underwater is weird and the whole storyline comes across as someone's weird dream they had the night before. There are 10 less levels which means your eyestrain is lessened! LOL!
I don't recommend this game.

The mute button comes in very handy during this game! The music sounds like a drunken organist at a ballgame and is horribly loud and annoying. There are some glitches in this game that weren't ironed out in a beat feet attempt to hurry and get it out. It seems like the pointer is always 2 steps behind whatever moves you make and at times, the game will go completely blank for a few seconds. The graphics are cartoonish and not crisp so it makes gameplay hard to see and figure out. Sigh...my tagline...not worth the CE price tag especially with all the glitches..
I don't recommend this game.

Same as the CE release only cheaper. Cartoon graphics, boring gameplay and the same repetitive actions of having to do 3-4 things for one action. Pick the wheat, confirm you want to pick it, water, confirm the water...on and on. Not worth it.
I don't recommend this game.

Oh it was exciting to see a new Rescue game! I dove into this with high expectations and while it is fun and the graphics are well done, it's like levels just keep repeating themselves over and over. The original ones had levels where you were under pressure to rescue people before the fires got them or get meds to them before they froze. This one has not one level of challenge and it's basically run around and clean up oil spills, build weird planet loving factories and feed injured animals hot tea (??). There is no strategy and no challenge.
These new Devs need to go back to the beginning and look at how the early games were put together without the cookie cutter levels. I mean, this is ok what with the 15 bonus levels added but, it's still not the quality it used to be.

Well, this is fun! A refreshing change of pace of late. Great graphics and easy to find objects that aren't crazy small like others. Not your average run of the mill HO game. Different strategies and a Match 3 thrown in. Very well done and worth the coupon!

First of all, asking a CE price for this is criminal. There outta be a law against that!
Ok, second...I agree with the previous review that the whole concept of this being underwater is weird with watering trees and crops. That being said, whoever did the graphics on this game must have perfect 20/20 vision and an overactive paint program. There is SO much extra scenery in these levels, you have to really adjust your eyes to zero in on the gameplay, which is so tiny and small, you can't tell what everything is. I know the Devs were going for pretty and colorful but what what they got was overkill and too busy. I mean, seriously...when a new level pops up, you literally have to sit back and stare at it for a minute or two to try and figure out where the game is!!
Nothing is changed except for the extreme colors and subject weirdness. Same pound and run..same as the entire series. Nothing new. NOT CE worthy that's for sure! They should have spent more time putting new features and levels in and less time on the paint explosion!
