I don't usually play match games but I just thought that there must be something special about this game since it is the 14th of a series. It does seem to give you a long playing time. It took me an hour and I had only completed 2 levels. [sarcasm]
I played for the full allotted time in the demo and only got to Level 3 with 2 Coins. I never managed to unlock any chained items. The icons did not do what the info said they would do. For instance, one icon said to click on it and then pick a tile and it will remove all like tiles. It did not. It just went over and hit the magnet. There is a cannon but no way to make it go off. There are icons that change from one thing to another so quickly you can't pick the one you want. Very exasperating!!!
I don't usually play with sound so I gave that a 3. Level of challenge got a 5 because it was so challenging I couldn't advance in the game. Unfortunately I would not recommend this game to anyone other than those who learned how to play it 13 episodes ago.
I don't recommend this game.

It looked like a fun game but it froze up on level 3, Got it going again and it froze up a few levels later. I play without sound so I can't speak about the quality of that. I didn't notice any storyline. Deleted it after a few minutes.
I don't recommend this game.
The most challenging and fun Clutter yet!

I have all the Clutter games and I have to say that this one is more challenging than the last one. I like the pictures Joe picked for this game. He also included many (but not enough) of my favorite game Clutter Gaps. I hear there is another game in the works, and I already know I'll buy that one, too.
I recommend this game!

I really liked this game. I bought the first game in the series as a standard game. I like looking for souvenirs and morphing items so I got the collector's version of the second game in the series. I got all the way through the game, finding all of the morphing objects and then began finding the souvenirs. Unfortunately, one of the train cars is located in a scene of the game that let you scroll sideways during earlier game play. Looking for the souvenir though, you aren't given the arrow that will let you scroll to the side of the scene that has the train car in it. Requesting a hint will SHOW you the left arrow, but you can't actually GET the arrow that will take you to the left side of the scene. Hopefully. Eipix will issue a fix for this soon. I really want that last train car.
I recommend this game!

I played about 4 or 5 levels and got to one that I could not beat. Only thing I could do was play, play, play it again. Lose every time. Cards were hard to distinguish against the busy background. Didn't play with any sound, so I can't speak about the music, sound effects, etc. If you want to try the game, go ahead, but it was a complete waste of my time playing it. I hate playing games that make you play the same level over and over until time runs out and you just kept losing.
I don't recommend this game.
Grandpa's Table is a very atmospheric puzzle game where you need to group tokens of various colors.

I enjoyed the 53 minutes I played the game, except for a couple of details. First, the graphics were good. I didn't have the sound on so I can't speak about that. The challenge was very good. I didn't play long enough to learn much about the storyline. I had two complaints. When you are hopelessly lost in the level you are playing there should be a reset button instead of having to hold down the back button while the tiles go back to their previous positions, one by one. A reset button would have been nice. The second complaint is that I could not find a way to quit the game. If there was an Exit button I never did find it. Otherwise a pretty good game.
I recommend this game!

This was a horrible game. It reminded me of those early games where you had to type in the DOS command to progress in the game, and you had to be EXACT or you couldn't go anywhere. I don't like to play any game that has you use letters on your keyboard to play it. Press "a" to do this, press "d" to do that, press "s" to do something else. Deleted it immediately. If playing this kind of game is your cup of tea, you will love this game. I wanted to try it, it sounded interesting, but just couldn't get past the instructions.
I don't recommend this game.

I started buying World Mosaics with the 5th game of the series and enjoyed it quite a bit. So I went back and bought a couple of the earlier games. This Fairy Tales game was really awful. I hate to leave a game unfinished, but I have been working on this for months and have to push myself to play a few more levels every so often in order to just get it done. The pictures are so vague that even when you are done with the puzzle you can't tell what it is. Also, you frequently have to just make a wild guess as to where the filled cells are, and I hate that. You should be able to solve a puzzle using logic and perseverance, but not with World Mosaics 3 - Fairy Tales. Switching back and forth with the mouse to change from filled cells to empty cells, caused me to make numerous mistakes. Whereas trying to solve a level without any mistakes in the other mosaic-type games I own is my goal, with this game, I really don't care about that. I just want to get it over with no matter how many mistakes I make.
If you have played any of the later games of the series and enjoyed them, I wouldn't buy this game unless you give it a trial. I don't think you will like it.
I don't recommend this game.

The graphics are great, the music is a little repetitious, and the progression of the game is medium in challenge. There is a map but you can't use it to move directly to a desired location. Something new here is the option to play the mini-games in average difficulty or hard. That's nice. The reason I am curious about the length of the game is that I played the demo to the stopping point and still had half an hour left. The phone (in the game) tells me that I am 40% finished with the game. That far in only an hour??? I would use one of my coupons for this game but don't want to waste it if there is only an hour left to play. If the rest of the game moves slower and is a little more challenging, I would consider getting it. Otherwise I think I will pass for now.
I recommend this game!
Clean up the Clutter in this amazing Hidden Object game! Take on mini games and put everything in order again!

I really liked the first game, complete with all of the decluttering tips. This game is just as good, if not better. You get the option of turning off the timer, for one thing. This reduced the stress level of running out of time, but kept me from getting that feeling of accomplishment when I finally beat the timer and passed the level. (I'll play it both ways eventually.) Another option in this second game is adjusting the speed of the conveyor belt. I haven't tried that option yet, but may have to later on in the game.
I like the mini-games, especially the Window Blinds one, which carried over from the first game. The clock mini-game from the first Clutter (extremely difficult for me) was replaced with a 15 numbers game (also, unfortunately, very difficult for me).
I own both games and enjoy playing them when I have a short amount of time to spend relaxing and don't want to get into a complicated Nancy Drew game for just a few minutes.
I'd have to say the story in Clutter was better and more interesting, but there are photos of Leon and Ana's house in Clutter II: He Said, She Said which give it a more personal touch.
All in all, it's a very good game. Kudos to the developer.
I recommend this game!
