To save your father from a hideous monster, you've decided to sacrifice your own freedom. Now you must journey through a strange and magical land before time runs out!
I still have three chapters to go, but couldn't wait to say how pleased I am with this game..... won't repeat all the 5 star comments, just ditto. I am usually so "over" a game before it finally comes to an end, but not this one.
I just finished my trial and the game was acceptable, meaning it didn't blow me away, but there really wasn't anything negative about the game..... I'm seldom interested in the story line because they are all the same, but I did like the captioned voice overs and I liked the voice overs themselves.. Actually, you can turn this on and off in Options. There are your usual three levels of difficulty, casual has no miss clicks, sparkles, all the regulars. There is a map so you can jump to locations and I think we have all grown to love those maps. HO games give you an option of playing Mahjongg. Mini games have a skip button. So, just to wrap it up, nothing out of the ordinary, has all the gameplay bells and whistles I enjoy (map/no penalty click/) but again didn't blow me away. Probably 3 stars on the 5 star rating. I will buy this game only because I'm running out of games LOL

I've been waiting for a really good solitaire game since I was spoiled with Faerie Solitaire's unique twist. This game comes as close in newness as I could hope for. Played the trial and bought it. I love that you can replay a hand as I always want to go for the perfect score. I was going to give it 4 stars because I haven't been able to figure out how to leave a game without getting the option to replay the current hand I'm in when I get back to the game. I guess you just have to play it until you win, then quit the game..... this isn't always an option so I do have some hands that aren't "perfect". Hopefully I'll figure that one out too. But I did decide it was worth a "5" anyway.
Challenge yourself in the role of the scientist-historian-scholar of ancient civilizations and mystical legends and save your friend from the Demon of Darkness!

I thought this was an excellent game. Everything about it was perfect for me. The sound, graphics (nothing grainy for me)....... couldn't be more pleased with a game. I have over 100 HO's and this ranks at the top. I get frustrated with games that make the mini games so difficult or monotonous you just want it to be over with. Not so with this game. The mini games were perfect and doable.

The mini games were a bit much for me.... more of not understanding the instructions on what to do or I would have given an extra star... and some were actually just too hard for me.. That being said, this game is great. Love everything about it, even the mini games that I could just skip. I have no conscience about skipping an overly difficult or tedious mini game. I love all the Joyville games

I completed the entire trial (with 26 minutes to spare) therefore my review is not based on the full game. I found this to be low level challenge and not at all what I would recommend to seasoned HO enthusiasts. I was hyped by the reviews but disappointed in the game. I would not recommend this game
