I played the entire demo. I would encourage everyone to give it a try. As another reviewer indicated, not all games are for everyone.
My Likes -- The game really test your game play knowledge. Why? Because it does not give you a lot of directions. So you have to rely on your knowledge of game play to figure the game out. The hidden object scenes were OK. You will play the scenes more than once. This can be tricky because not all the objects are played at the same time. There are interactions in the hidden scenes and you have to guess them by trail and error. The map lets you jump to areas where you have task to perform.
My Not Like So Much -- In the hidden object scenes, there are a errors. For example an object says "crab in a can" when in fact, it was "crab in a jar." You also have to do a lot of clicking to figure out if something is hidden or not.
I recommend this game as a "try it for yourself." It's in my "maybe" bucket for a rainy day.
I recommend this game!

I too after reading the first 9 reviews was skeptical about the game. But I like to "C" for myself.
If you like to play Solitaire games, this game may not be for you because it's more like a Mahjong game, which is one of the things that I did not really enjoy after 30 minutes.
However, if you like Mahjong than give it a try.
The reservations that I have about the game are:
1. Poor Visual -- The cards are small and after 30 minutes, my eyes were tired. I will chalk this up to age and therefore, this might not be a problem for others :). The black background was also hard on the eyes.
2. Sound Quality -- After listening to it for a few minutes, I had to turn it off.
3. Lack of a storyline. However for a Solitaire or Mahjong game, who cares.
4. The game really is not challenging.

The objective of this game is to buy places and collect rent, earning more money than other players who are pre-set in the game. Each level gives you different tasks to perform. I was only able to get through level one before the game was just too boring. During the first level, you are task with buying places, transporting products and buying a new vehicle. The Mechanics of the game require you to 1) spin a wheel to determine the number of moves you will make on the "board" 2) buying the places that you land on or not buy them and 3) selling products. The game's tutorial is not very clear, but the game is not difficult to figure out.
Playing the game you basically watch players moving around the board and decided if you want to buy or sell.
Not much of a challenge in the game.
I don't recommend this game.

This game gets a big thumbs up from me because of the very interesting storyline. I played the full demo and I'm still curious as to "what's going to happen next?" The art work/visual could be a little clearer, but does not take away from the storyline. A former priest out to say a young girl. My kind of story.
-- An interactive map
--The mint recharges fairly quickly and guides you to the next area
--Hidden objects scenes and puzzles are not difficult
--Length. I not sure how many chapters are in the game.

I started playing this game in time mode. But a changed to untimed because I loved the storyline and didn't want to get caught up trying to beat the clock. This game consist of collecting resources, building structures and rescuing the princess and others characters. This is one of the best TM (or not) games that I've played that has a really good storyline. In addition to the storyline being great, the graphics and voice over adds to the enjoyment of this game.
I played the full demo and I'm off to purchase the game.

I have mixed reviews for this game. If I could, I would give this game a 2-1/2 stars. If you're looking for a easy, beginner M3 game, this might be the game for you. The game has minimum instructions, but you basically match three items throughout the game. My rating for this game is that it's OK . . . BUT . . .
* I played 30 minutes of the game and I did not see where there were any power ups. So you have to keep playing until you get the difficult areas.
* The game has only one mode, untimed. For me, part of the challenge of playing M3 games it to beat the clock.
* Lack of adequate instructions. There are tasks to perform, but you have to guess what the task is.. For example you have to collect scissors or paint brushes to open blocked areas. "Who knew?" -- :)
* There are easy hidden object scenes, but they do not add to the game.

I recommend this games for individuals who want an easy game to pass the time away. If you're looking for a challenging M3, this might be a game that you might want to pass.

I usually get bored with garden games. But this game has elements of building games and Royal Envoy. Nothing boring in this game. Each level has a bonus option by completing specific building goals. I played time mode and love it. The game moves fast, but the time is such that you should be able to get "gold" on the first, if not the second try. I've been waiting for a good TM game to come out with a twist. This one has achieved that goal.
I'm off to purchase to continue to "beat the clock" building both buildings and plant gardens.
Enjoy!

What can I say. I loved this game. I played it first in casual, then right away in expert mode. For a SE, this game is one of the best games I've played, bar non. Without a doubt, you have all the features of a CE without having to pay the price. I can't wait until the follow-up comes out to finish the story!!
I recommend this game!

I enjoyed this hidden object game. My "but" refers to the occasions when some objects are difficult to see. Thus my giving this a visual rating of only three. I played the entire 60 minutes and didn't want the game to end. The story is also weak. However, I plan to purchase the game because the HO scenes and the mini-games are interesting and offer us something different. A game plus is that you have morphing objects to collect throughout the game.
Enjoy.
I recommend this game!

If you have enjoyed the first KAC, you will enjoy this one too. It moves fast, so get your fingers in shape before you start playing. The graphics are nicely done. Each level gets progressively more difficult, so this is a game that you will want to plan your strategy before you start the game.
Enjoy!
