I like finding the hidden objects even though they are well hidden. It's ok. I don't like the morphing things... they're not on the screen often enough and I don't want to take the time staring at the screen waiting. The mini games... come on. We're adults not children... we don't need to colour things. That's just boring. So this is a no buy for me.
I don't recommend this game.

What a fun game. Many levels plus more on the Collectors Edition. Each level has four games and they're all fun. Never been a big fan of some mini games on these HOGs but these are great.
I recommend this game!

I've played all the Find Cats, Critters etc. and enjoyed them. Even the mini games... spot the difference is always good fun. Now this one... the hidden object part is ok. The mini game is not. It's for children, not adults. It's boring and a waste of my time (and, money). I certainly won't spend good money on it since there are many other HO games available.
I don't recommend this game.

I have played most of the games in this series. I skip the holiday specific ones. I'm busy. This one is particularly annoying. The items get really big in some of them. The "hint" suns are ok to pick up but in most of the first levels, there aren't enough to get even 3 hints. The scores are low because of that. And, let's face it, after 17 previous games, these are getting a little boring. At least some of the previous ones seemed to have more going. Am I buying this one? No. I can replay others and still get the same thing.
I don't recommend this game.

I have all of these and have replayed them many times. It was a joy to find a new one! It is tougher than the previous games ... the new tile that changes the board is pretty frustratng at times but it does give a new level of challenge. There is a bit more strategy involved which is also good. I'm enjoying it enough to buy it.
I recommend this game!

I have played all of these but this one just left me cold. Even the first few levels drove me nuts with having to have instructions and it was never a move I would have made. But you are forced to do just that. And then it wouldn't. The game froze, then it was ok but it would not let me make my own moves, just the ones it said. So no. I don't do that. This is the fourth in the series. If you played the first three, you would have figured it out. And come on, it's a Match 3. Not a lot of brain work involved. Loved the first three. This one, no.
I don't recommend this game.

I love these games.
Both Cruise Director and Park Ranger. Feels like I know the family! They never get older but who cares... they have great vacations together. I love them all. I also like the Halloween and Christmas ones they put on. They're all great because they're not those dark, weird games ... just good fun. Lots of mini games in between the HOGs. I love them.
I recommend this game!

I have enjoyed most of the Laruaville games. Their challenge levels are just about right. I preferred picking out my own buildings and placing them but this one does it automatically. Not very complicated and gets a little boring. Tried the bonus levels but don't want to play those. Way too slow. i understand the concept but I don't like waiting that long between moves. Won't be playing any more of those.
I recommend this game!

So excited to see this in my inbox today. Didn't even bother to demo it. I love these Jewel Match games. Love that the boards move and all the personalized settings. All great. And the story... good for the developers! So much fun. The whole thing is most enjoyable.
I recommend this game!

The much anticipated Christmas Wonderlnd 8 arrived and did not disappoint. I love them all. Yeah, the kids never grow up but that's ok by me. Keep them coming!
