Based on Demo-that was far to quick IMO
Child soul stealing witch escapes jail & wants revenge on a mother that turned her in.
I haven't played the first one, but it really doesn't need it for this sequel.
Intro/Loading music is very interesting & actually upbeat.
No voice overs, balloon text on background-video clip replayable in notebook.
WOW! excellant computer graphics are very clean
great combo of HO/Gather items for next step (in same area-good#
The music changes to suspenseful after intro once into game.
clear instruction, fun mini games so far. a bit of thinking involved.
no level options-
click penalty in HO.#there are 18 ways to define stamp BTW)
Sparkles only light up after 30 seconds-so good directions that way
no map iinteractive or otherwise-so no info on length.
So all in all a fun, somewhat challenging game for HO/Puzzle fans.
4/5--the map would have been helpful ALOT not only to gauge length, but also possible areas to explore, interactive would have been even better--so I'm spoilt :D
I recommend this game!

Based on Demo:
Good: VERY Colourful! Cartoonish atmosphere, hunting for eggs to colour for Easter & collecting bunnies along the way.
Bad: really no challenge for those over 5 or 6 years old.
This would be a great game to introduce your lil one to the HOS/Puzzle addiction that many of us share (wink)
Kinda like : Can You See What I See? I&II.
Some items hard to find, hint recharges fairly quick & puzzle are easy & skippable.
I recommend this game!

Based on Demo:
This was a fun adventure/match 3/puzzle gameThe storyline is girl chasing after father chasing after shangri-La.
You not only have to match 3, you have to do it along a path, gather tools , gather extras, and you get a puzzle or so at end.
At first seems easy, but as you go along the challenges build up & it was really a nice gane & fun & time just went to quickly
I recommend this game!

Based on Trial demo:
Mahjong cards
different layouts automatically
play 5 games & get a bonus, about 100 games total per map
if you exit* not saved-not good IMO
Audio/visual awesome, zen sayings after each round
I would recommend if DD & need the punch, but the one hiccup (not saving & have to restart from 1st puzzle) is a big drawback
I recommend this game!

Excellant score,
good graphics
interesting story line
click penalty
hint recharge fairly quickly & direction help
SG covers first three chapters
The biggest drawback is the scenes changes to black & rather frustrating slow to change (ok I'm spoilt-but 30 seconds? really?)
I do not think it's a buy for this, maybe...MAYBE SE in 6 weeks
I recommend this game!

Based on Demo:
You father escapes in a time warp egg, you goal is to find him.
The graphics are semi good generally.
HOS is junkpile & some items very hard to find, Hint available, but slow to recharge
No VO, mellow music, alot of reading for directional help,
It could have been better with ANY map, interactive maps are even better. Maybe a faster hint recharge or a magnifier.
interesting storyline, and if you need that extra punch, I'd say it's worth DD, just gt you cyber sneakers on & have at it

I found the initial cutscene poorly done graphics, cartoonish.
Then I get into more of the game & the graphics are crisp & clear, then the puzzles are back to cartoonish. Confusing back & forth like that
The plot is intriguing & you need to collect 24 extra cats, that's good distraction.
There is alot of HOS-Hidden Object Scenes, which I like.
The hint cat can be tiring, but you can opt out of his noise. Hint recharge quickly & the cat can give directional help if needed.
Easy mini games, no map but "sneaker" alert! you'll be traveling back & forth ALOT.
Overall, interesting plot, bizarre graphics, mellow music, meowing cat every few second, easy HOS, Easy Mini Games-
It's an OK buy.
I recommend this game!

As with all the Dora games, this was a fun games for the preschooler to kindergardener, I think any older than 6 or 7 would be bored
You have several games to the learning, finding the ingrediant in kitchem to cook, playing instrument, soccer(futbol) out back
Exploring the different rooms was fun, and educational as Dora incorporates Spanish in each lesson
I would recommend this for any child
I recommend this game!

I picked this up on DD because after the trial 60 minutes I wanted it!
It's a fun match 3, somewhat like the others on board, but I like you can change style as you go along
A definately steal on DD
I recommend this game!
