Merry Christmas to all and me. Bought this one right away without trying. I have the other two, no need to try.
I have waited for this.
Graphics and fun gameplay just like the other ones.
But they added the medicine hut.
Wish there was more games like that. Long chapters and you really need to plan ahead.
Love it

Although the graphics seem a bit dated they are still very good. Nice detailing, like in the first scene when the bird is taking a bath in the puddle.
Interesting story and the interaction with the different people are very nicely done.
This game really has everything a CE would have. Collectables, achievements, map, journal and a built in SE.
Seems like a very long game too.
Minigames are fun too
So far I only played 30 min but I'm already hooked.

I absolutely enjoyed playing this game. The graphics are once again crystal sharp and so beautiful. Story is fun too. You have to change Scrooge's past with a little help from the well known ghosts.
As always collectables and achievements. Nice length too.
In the bonus you deal with the adorable cats from the Nutcracker.
Although I liked the Nutcracker better this game is a close runner up for Christmas games. Nice imagination from the Elephant team once again. They are still my favorite. Never gets boring.
I sooooo love the statues that come alive ( remind me a lot of the Lord of Statues) and the little imps. Just really watch them with their little mean red eyes. Ha, too cute.
Thank you Elephant, can't wait till next Christmas to see what you come up with. Very well done.

I absolutely loved this game. There is so much to do, gorgeous locations, a good map, it all happens in Boston, great graphics. And of course...collectables.
I liked the fact that their are visions about the next murder, based on that you go back and stop the crime before it happens. Great animations and the people look very much real.
The length was nice for me and the bonus, not really needed to finish the game, was also very interesting. That however happened in Chicago. Also of nice length.
Sometimes the items found made no sense on how I find them, but never mind. It's just a game.
The ending suggests that their will be another part coming out.
I hope so, it was a lot of fun to play, never boring.

Oh my....had to delete after 5 min. This game does not make sense to me and the graphics are very childish. Maybe it was meant to be for the younger players and then again maybe not.. very harsh language
There is also just too much talking going on.
After playing Nevertales ( which is very hard to beat IMO ) etc, this one does not even come close to anything I want to play.
Sorry, not for me

This one, I think, is better than the first. Characters seem more real because the graphics are excellent.
The usual to do, but has new villains to defeat and a lot to do..
It has alot of humor too. Make sure you look for little " collectables " on the maps. So cute

This game is a definite must have. There is a lot to do which I love. Lot of variety within a game. I always liked these developers and they are becoming my favorite.
Graphics are wonderful and you get a little helper once again. I love the fact that instead of a journal you get to carry a cell phone which holds your journal, map etc.
Very nice touch.
HOGs are interactive in a different way.
Story kept my interest. This CE has a lot of bling including 3 bonus chapters.
Icon below keeps track of your found collectables and morphing objects.
All along caring for a baby that was dropped at your door you must return it to a certain place.
The imagination of these devs is incredible IMO.
Keep them coming. I highly recommend.

I'm so glad it finally was released as an SE. Since the CE version has no bells and whistles at all I chose to wait for this one.
It was well worth it. So much to do, so many locations. There is definitely a lot of back and forth but in a good way.Game stays interesting all the way.

Sometimes you carry a lot of objects around so to remind me I opened up the inventory a lot.
Graphics are just beautiful. I'm getting to really like Boolat games.
You have a good map that shows active locations and the journal keeps track.
HOS are fun as well with a little twist. Not too many, just the right amount for me.
Story is great, I never got bored. Length seems very good and that means a lot to me, I'm not quite done yet but I have played for hours already.... and then again i usually take my time. The graphics are so nice I need to look at everything.
I very much recommend giving this a try.

I really like this game. There is so much to do, like previous review from Pennmom already all mentioned.
The only problem, which is not really a problem, more like a preference are the graphics. They are good however somewhat grainy on the large map.
HOGs are fun and different while you earn money to get food for the seahorses and rebuild the park.
Puzzle pieces lead to minigames within the HOS.
Too much to mention, I'm off to buy.
Great stress relief and a much needed break from the adventure games which I have too many of :).

I love it. This little " gem " is very entertaining and challenging. You have to match as usual but in the meantime you need to collect gems and place them in various jewels / talismans which sometimes only take a specific color of a gem. Don't forget to also fill up the little treasure chest which will add to your timer to get gold.
I only wish it would give you more time, the timer goes pretty quick and the tiles are not always easy to make out.
I don't mind them being small but the colors sometimes kind of wash into each other.
Before I knew it my demo time was over and I had to buy.
This game makes you think.
Towards the end of the level make sure to add to your timer before you place the last gem in your talisman, to achieve gold.
I enjoyed this game very much, but please make better looking tiles
