Graphics are a bit different than the first one but basically the same game; more elaborate. Castle's are bigger; tons of levels. Mute the music & listen to the ocean crashing on the beach; very soothing. Somewhat addicting; you'll play it again & again. Never did figure out what the land mines did though or the make-up compact on the left side. But overall; great.
Too many of the current games are all doom/gloom-vampires, ghouls, etc. It's nice to see/play a game all ages can play. I'm ancient-lol-but I don't care for those dark games. Tons of levels, side games, match games & a quiz or two. You'll like it; I haven't quit playing since I got it a few days back. Easy to see also; it's fairly simple but objects are still a challenge to find; I like that too. It's not super simple but not too complicated either. A win/win imo.
to write a bad review but on this one; I have to. Level one is the same as the last level. There are a few variations but it's all basically the same stuff you have to find. The cursor doesn't work correctly in the game so it's hard to get "double points" Story line has nothing to do with the game. Collecting the jewels has nothing to do with the game except to get them out of your way; there is no "prize" for collecting them. I got it on sale but it's still $4.00 wasted.
This is unlike any other hidden object game I've played. 99% of the scenes are beautiful and 75% of the time; objects are difficult to find but very enjoyable. If you have young eyes, no problems but older players will need a magnifying glass to find them. What I like best is the fact that I cannot memorize the scenes so I can play it again and again. (You may want to start out on the easy side; quicker hints/no penalties for mis-clicks) Even the hints in this game are unique. Very well done; the designer (s) should be proud. Would recommend to anyone that is tired of "easy" hidden object games. This ones a challenge!! But addictive.
I really enjoy this game. The sound effects are great; very relaxing. The HO part of the game can be challenging-almost difficult at times (which I love; I don't like easy finds) LOL The secondary puzzles are great mind benders too. I like the fact that they put in a recycling part to the game but it's a shame that they have to remind people not to trash our beautiful outdoors. Worth every penny!! Will buy others in the series too now that I've played this one. (And it can be played multiple times too; every time it's new stuff to find.)
It's not your typical match game. There are numerous levels and of course they get more difficult with each level but you also get more extra's (gold/silver/spells-etc) the higher you go. One of the best things is if you get bored with one board; several are available for play. Not to mention other bonus games (1 is a mahjong board) and the flower garden games. No way you'll get bored. Nice soft music in the background & graphics (extra goodies- etc.) are cool too. I would recommend to anyone. Even at full price; worth it.
I have a few of the big city adventures; & i like this one the best so far. Yes, it's got 47 zillion (slight exaggeration) objects in each scene but they are clear as a bell. Some HO games have fuzzy/unclear scenes. The side games are good too; some are challenging, other's are just fun. You'll enjoy it for sure.

The game designers; Joerg, Remi and Catalin did a great job. I've played many match games but this one just keeps getting better with every level. Nice graphics and fun to play-just keep your eyes peeled for the extra treasures before they slip away. Even without coupons; it's worth the price.

..because you have to move your little crab along it's chosen path to the treasure chest. There is no penalty in the relaxed mode- but the crab will stick his (her) tongue out at you when you take too long. LMAO It also has mini-games and several hidden object screens. He (she) also dances, and put on shades. Bonuses let you add fish and aquatic decorations. FUN.

As the levels become harder, you think, "Oh great, another game I can't win" but then the fun comes back. Difficult enough to be challenging but mostly just fun enough to keep you on the mouse; clicking away.
The background music is wonderful and all the little sounds from bonuses crack me up. It's a super fun game-I love it.
