Was so very HAPPY to see this game today and so very excited to finally have a game that I totally enjoy playing!!
I just LOVE the Vacation Adventure: Cruise Director 3 games, they are so much fun, collecting items, trash, hidden items, repairing items...and some are not so easy to find, which I totally enjoy the challenge, don't care for games where they are to easy. And they have some of my favorite mini games, out of all games, like swapping pieces to make a puzzle, one of my favs, wish there were more of this type...hint hint. My only complaint is that the developers did use repeat scenes, from previous games, that is not acceptable, they should be new scenes, in a new game...cracks ruler on their knuckles ( WHACK ) :-(. Don't usually complain when it comes to these games, but was let down, so no choice. Besides that, I found the rest of the game to be what I have come to expect, so much FUN!! I did purchase and still love playing this simple, but so entertaining game. It was a long wait so please don't take as long for the next one :-)

SO HAPPY to see this new, HJE3 has the bold & bright colors, I just LOVE, when doing a jigsaw puzzle, THANKS developers!!
AND...finally some new music, when you play these as much as I do, NEW music is totally a breath of fresh air..YAY! Would love to see some zen music, ( very calming )..in future games.
When I have stress, I love to play these games to relax my mind, so was very excited, for a new one. This one has the bold and bright colors, used in it, DON"T really care for, all of the same color, jigsaws...find them boring. If I am putting a puzzle together, I want something that is a feast for the eye's, a visual stunner, Halloween 3 did have those, and so does this one...THANK YOU!!
More PLEASE...with lots of different color, variations...bold & beautiful...and I'll keep buying them :-)

These clever creatures and inhabitants, set the stage and atmosphere, for a world, that is so innovative, talk about thinking outside of the box, Four Friends Games, IMO are GENIUS, this one just blew me away!!!!
Thinking outside the box is an understatement, on this gem, don't think I've ever felt this much excitement, while playing a game, I was simply just AMAZED.
The inhabitants are so COOL, so DETAILED, and I just couldn't wait to explore further, to see what was coming next, in this magical world. Every fiber of my being, felt immersed in the story, and game play and artistry, which is a gaming addicts, ULTIMATE high, oh YEA BABY!!
I LOVE..the way these developers think, NEVER a dull moment, or almost falling asleep from boredom, from beginning to end, THIS IS the cats meow, IMHO the best game, I've played in a very L-O-N-G time, so YUMMY, FUN, ENTERTAINING!!
LOVED..the H0 scenes, again thinking outside the box, done so well, using the magic amulet, the chalk feather, ALL things, that raised the bar on this sweet GEM, finding the codes etc, the way the game play unfolded, was just SPECTACULAR and exciting.
The graphics on my computer were some of the most BEAUTIFUL, I've seen, and the artistry by these developers, just MIND BLOWING, AWESOMENESS :-)

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE....these games, own everyone they have made, they are some of my all time favorite M3 games, that I play over and over!!
NOT only is the game play FUN and EXCITING, the boards are so visually appealing, eye candy that just never stops, love the way the gems, go into the box, after you complete a level, these attention to details, is what puts them above other M3 games.
They are just a blast to play, and with so much variety, I never get bored, LOVE all of the different icons used, on the boards, and having several boards to go back to, to complete a level, keeps it interesting and fun, and I am enjoying the snow theme, it doesn't have to be Christmas, for me to love it, I'll play it in the summer months as well.
I do have one small, nit pick, on this one, you cannot move the board, by just moving your mouse, to the left or right, like in the other games, you have to click, and than drag, which I don't care for at all, of course it didn't stop me from buying, BUT please in future games, I liked it better without having to click.
Besides that small quibble, I just love these M3's, from JM, they are innovative and keep it very exciting and fun to play, I do miss the H0, that the last one had, because I thought they did such a good job, with them, so hopefully they will bring them back, on the next one.
Thanks developers for another game, especially M3, which are so rare, to find a really good one, like your's are, you made this fishie so happy :-)

EVERY..year I wait to see if a new Christmas Wonderland, will be released, to add to my collection, it has become a tradition in my family!!!!
And today it's here, and a must buy for this fishie, a 52yr old, kid at heart, these always bring out my inner child, and give plenty of smiles, and who doesn't need those :-)
LOVE the H0 scenes, so bright and colorful, LOVE collecting the candy canes in each scene, and looking for the 12 days of Christmas items, and the extra hidden items, so lots to do and enjoy.
The mini games are not hard, but I totally enjoy them, in between, H0 scenes, these games take me back, to when I first started playing, H0 games, and that is what I love about them, just pure and simple, fun, for the entire family.
Thanks developers for an early Christmas present, keep making them, and I will keep buying them!!

I was BLOWN AWAY by the technical greatness, this absolutely could not have been made any better, from the minute you start playing, it is a WOW, than a UNBELIVEABLE , soon to follow, ARE YOU KIDDING ME and OH YEA moments!!!!
Its like when you order a pizza, do you want plain cheese, or do you want, THE WORKS, this shining bright star of a game, is just that, FULLY LOADED, with everything you could possibly want, in a game..and than some..omg I just LOVE IT!!!
WHO doesn't like to open presents, love that aspect, and collecting puzzle pieces, and minuter collectables, for me more is always better, and FINALLY a developer gave it to me, THANK YOU, thank you.
I am a very VISUAL person, the graphics and artwork used, are THE BEST..IMHO a feast for the eyes, and MAGICAL for the senses, those two combined with an excellent story, and top quality game play and mechanics, and you have the best Christmas game EVER created in history, as far as I am concerned..lol!!

This is fun and exciting, it puts me in the Christmas spirit, and these developers, went above and beyond, to improve what was already perfect, in their previous Nutcracker game, so a huge, hats off, to making what I thought was impossible, possible, this one is even better!!!
I have not bought a CE in months, money is tight, so glad I saved my game club credits, for a game that is REALLY CE worthy...YAY!!

There is just something I LOVE about these games, so I will continue to buy them, more please :-)
They have everything in them to keep me entertained, with lots of FUN, searching, for the true H0 lover, and kid at heart!!
In each scene, you get to find special items, that are extra's, from the listed items, also in each scene, there are recycle items to search for, items in red are in secret hiding spots, these are a bit more difficult to find, but add to the fun, so lots to look for, which I LOVE!!
In this game you can buy souvenir's as well, and than there are the fun mini games, in between, which bring me back to my childhood days, so I totally enjoy them even though they are not hard, they are FUN!!
So I just purchased, but time for dinner, will be looking forward, to getting back to this little gem, these just make my heart WARM and FUZZY, so thank you developers, for another fantastic voyage/escape/vacation, wouldn't miss it!!

I own every single game these developers have made, BECAUSE I am a jigsaw FAN, for relaxing time, stress free enjoyment. You cannot beat these jigsaw's because you can customize it to exactly how you like to play them, number of pieces, rotate or don't rotate, save, so you can finish a puzzle another time, and of course all of the other features like boarder edges etc, sorry brain freeze, but many more. If you are a jigsaw lover, PLEASE give it a try, I don't think you will be disappointed :-) I have tried MANY different types of jigsaw games, and these are my FAVORITES and now my only go to jigsaws!! Thanks developers for the AWESOME photo's, and all of the different variety's of pics, no chance of getting bored here, HOURS upon HOURS of jigsaw entertainment, WTG!!!
I recommend this game!

I ALWAYS look forward to the holiday themed games, and this M3 doesn't disappoint, a MUST buy for me!!
Spooky Bonus is good for children, and the young at heart, I'll never be to old to celebrate this holiday, it's one of my favorites :-)
The game play is FUN, love the different icons on the boards, black cats, witches hats, you name it, perfect for Halloween.
AND...THANK YOU developers for giving us the option of relaxed mode, great for a relaxing M3 experience, inbetween playing more difficult games. And you can switch to timed mode, anytime before playing a board..YAY!!
You also get items you earn by playing the M3 boards, to decorate with, who doesn't like to decorate for Halloween.
The power-ups are very helpful also, and they are FUN to use, my demo time just flew by.
If you are a M3 lover, who loves a little spooky now and again, you owe it to yourself to at least try the demo, and maybe you will enjoy it as much as I did, THANKS developers, what a HOOT this little gem is :-)

This is such a CUTE M3 game, and the graphics are SUPERB, along with FUN and VERY entertaining game play!
To be quit honest, I wasn't expecting to like, this gem as much as I did, so that was a great surprise, especially after I purchased it, well it just got better and better.
I caught myself LOL and smiling, more than once, and after having VERY painful oral surgery, this game was just what the doctor ordered, THANKS developers this game is very up-lifting and such a joy to play.
From the most gorgous town, you get to build, using the coins you earn, which has both, daytime and night time scenery, really packs a punch, so detailed and beautiful to look at.
To the cute ghost, each having their own personality's and cute outfits, they ask for your help in solving puzzles, inbetween game boards of M3, were you also earn coins.
Also you get H0 scenes were you collect a certain number of items, like stars, candles etc.
The M3 boards themselves are so pretty, LOVE the peices these developers used, great quality throughout this gem.
And the power-ups are just as AWESOME, and easy on the eye's, and you will need them, to clear all kinds of obstacles.
You have coins you need to get to, some will also have leaves, that you first need to make matches, to remove the leaves, than make more matches to get the coins, don't worry, you will have rockets, bombs etc, I never had any issues with no moves, like others have mentioned, if you make matches of 6-8 peices, you get a power-up's that will clear the way, if used right.
Also, there are coins that are on fire, for these you need to make matches with water drops, to cool them, than you can remove the coins with any game peices that match.
I just found this so entertaining and addictive, once I started, that was all she wrote, played until I built the entire town, and yes you can continue playing even after the town is built, and still earn coins.
It's just pure FUN and IMHO a great M3, that will keep you busy for hours..LOVE IT!!!!
