Developing a travel agency by catering to clients, issuing tickets, selecting hotels rates, and employing others - what else can one ask for! The game itself is a rather unusual TM game with its minigames, trophies, and upgrades. The fun factor continues all the way to the end, which makes me want another game like this one! There are two levels to set the characters' patience levels, but neither one is so timed that it's stressful and impossible to do. Trophies are awarded at various intervals and you can opt for moving through the game quickly or spending time developing into a 5-star travel agency. As each travel agency is developed, another one is started. It's a great game, but it won't take days to complete! I only wish there were more agencies to develop!
I recommend this game!

5 stars for the graphics, storyline, and style! I really like this game since you can play in either relaxed or timed mode and complete the challenges for each round. As each level progresses, you need to build on what you've done so far plus work on something new. Though you are doing various things within each level, it's not an impossible rush to get things done. There are minigames periodically to give you a rest from growing and selling crops and animals. Trophies are awarded at various phases; you can even work on getting all the trophies by playing under the same player name. I highly recommend this game!

This is one of the best series of TM games! The challenges on each level are simple enough to complete each time but not always easily done at the Expert level. I kept coming back to Farm Mania 2 and then decided to try this new twist. This game puts you to the test to develop crops, fulfill orders, plan your beasts and crops, and figure out the minigames. Too bad there are not more TM games of this caliber! I SO recommend this game!
I recommend this game!
Leave the noise of the city behind you and enjoy hours of great farming fun! Lots of challenging levels are waiting for you!

This was one of the first games I bought with the gardening and trading theme. There are a few hidden object minigames embedded which can easily be completed. I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes time management games that they can complete and win. There is not a great deal of stress on the player to do a whole lot of things at once. The characters and the antics of the animals are cute as the levels progress and more things are happening.
I especially like the many levels, graphics, storyline, and challenges. Each level can be completed with or without bonus items and times. A great game -- I highly recommend it!

This is one of the games that I return to time after time. It's easy to play and has a nice story line that works itself into the winning the game. I always enjoy the quests and the arcade style feature for making the wine. If you like games based on trading and fulfilling requests for your products and traveling the world, then this is the game for you. There's great music for each city that you visit, and you even learn about the grapes used in making the wines. There is no time limit; you can play at your own pace.
I recommend this game!

I usually like all the TM games that are from this company; however, this one just didn't do it for me. The graphics are great, but the controls for the characters don't seem to be all that great. There didn't seem to be a way to make sure that the main characters stayed away from the energy draining cactus. I only lasted 12 minutes and three levels.
I don't recommend this game.

Cute detailed graphics and sound effects. It's a game that you can easily win and enjoy at different difficulty levels. It gets a little boring unless you aim for expert at all levels (easily achievable). The bad thing: no scoreboard for tracking winners!
I recommend this game!
