This is the same as the previous game, still a seek and find list with 3 scenes for each location, and find 3 cats & a pawprint in each location. Same "around the world" theme that's really almost all in east Asia. Bright clear graphics, nature sounds, a bit of a challenge. A couple of comments about the in-between games: there's a bubble pop game that is infinite, so you pretty much have to decide you've done enough and then skip to get out. There's also a coloring book game that was very tedious, after the first time skipped that one by choice. The rest I enjoyed. Glad I bought this one.
It's as if Big Fish took a game about a (not to spoil the plot) "harbinger", and then decided to force in some MCF references that have nothing to do with the "harbinger" story or gameplay. The real Mystery here is why: maybe their real MCF game wasn't working out, and so they substituted this one instead. Just a theory. Anyway, the game is ok, not bad, I'd give it a B- ... but seriously, Big Fish.

Bought the collector's edition, and there were SO MANY levels. You could tell when the initial story wrapped up, and the bonus section began, and it just kept going and going. Nicely escalating difficulty as you went. Reasonable story for a solitaire game. Excellent graphics & music. Really enjoyed this one.
This is just a plain old solitaire game against a spooky background picture. No story. No animation (besides solitaire). Good quality visual and sound but only gave 4 stars because nothing was done with it. Could just as easily have been put over an Easter Bunny background. Works if you feel like some solitaire, but zero else. Sorry.
This is the best bonus chapter I've ever played. It was better than the game. The game was the usual good in the redemption chapters, but the surrounding story about the town was too ponderous and talky for me. Puzzles ranged from challenging-but-doable fun to eye-rollingly stupid (please retire those jigsaw puzzles forever). The bonus story was much better. Usually bonus chapters are shallow & short, but this one could have been a game on its own. Just saying, go for the collector's edition. I have no idea how to rate this so I'll give it 5 stars just for the bonus chapter.
