I really like the different types of M3 games. Some really easy, some more difficult (and frustrating LOL). Plus a few HOG s thrown in it's a pretty good game. As each segment progresses the games get a little more difficult but still, pretty easy to finish. You have the option of timed or untimed which I really like. No pressure!! I have no idea at this time how long the game is but as I'm still building, I keep going. I love games where you get to build something or make a garden, farm etc. This is one of those.
I recommend this game!

Great little game. Don't know how long it is. I've only played the demo. But the demo alone made it worth buying. A few different games with lots of Hidden Objects. Clear graphics, items not too hard to find (though I did have to use a hint or two), quick reload on the hints. The story line is ok, the music and sounds are ok...though I usually turn all that off after a while. It's a buy for me. It is worth it (and there's a special on this weekend!). Try it. If you like simple HOG's, you will like this one.
I recommend this game!

Although you can play the game through without a timer, it still keeps time. The annoying thing is the "tick, tick, tick" when you are running out of "gold" time and again when you are running out of "silver" time, etc. I like keeping some ambient sounds on but this just left me cold. You feel pressured and that's not why I play these games. Nice game, great graphics and I love M3's normally but not this one. No buy for me.
I don't recommend this game.

The scenes are fairly nice but it doesn't always maintain the same size on your screen. I hate, hate, hate timers. These games are supposed to be fun not panicky. And when I did ask for a hint (for 3 items), I clicked on two of them over and over and over and it wouldn't pick up so I lost "expert" standing and kept losing time because .... well, it just wouldn't. So no buy for me. Too frustrating.
I don't recommend this game.

I enjoyed the first one (Easter Eggztravaganza). The in-between HOG scene puzzles were simple and the whole thing probably targeted more toward younger people. The scenes are fairly clear but, as in the last one, there may be more than one of an item but you have to pick the right one (two hats, for example). Another annoying thing in this one is the "game of skill" which takes no skill at all, it's a game of chance. You click to start it going and then click to stop it at either a bunny or a wolf. And then you lose points if it lands on the wolf. But it takes no skill, just click a button which stops the wheel (after two or three more turns). It's all pretty juvenile (more so than the first one). No buy for me.
I don't recommend this game.

I love the characters in the Gardenscapes, Farmscapes, Mansion Makeover series. Good to have Joe and Tom back in another feature. Lots of fun. Easy to locate hidden objects, buy items to fix up the barn and save up enough for a tractor. Young Tom is is usual self...cute and a little mischievous. Joe, the patient grandpa. I love this game.
I recommend this game!

Love this game! Never boring because the game type changes every time. Learning a lot about how to play different games. My only small complaint is that you HAVE to get "gold" on each level before it will let you move on to the next one. Not always easy and it does get a little tedious if you have to play it over and over. Just remember not to use a hint and you can take your time and get the gold. I'm up to the fourth level now and it's been pretty good. Even the hardest ones I've been able to master. I'll be replaying this many times.
I recommend this game!

I played about 30 seconds. I couldn't even figure out how the first game was supposed to be played because it has no instructions. I couldn't even put in my name as a player because it wouldn't work. What an awful game. Definitely wouldn't by this one. Maybe a remake with instructions.
I don't recommend this game.

Nice little HOG with a Christmas theme. I like these kinds of HOG's. Simple, very clear graphics, nice music and a little puzzle game between each Hidden Object scene. And to find other things other than on the list (Santa, candy canes, nativity items), makes it a little more interesting. This is a keeper for us. We can bring it out every Christmas and it will be like new again.
I recommend this game!

What a great game!! I bought it after about 20 minutes of demo playing. Cross between marble popper and pinball. Lots of fun and a great laugh watching that ball go through the maze. Fun power ups at each level. Just a perfect diversion.
I recommend this game!
