When I played the demo, just 8 minutes in, I was hit with a massive wave of motion sickness. It really hit me hard, and I was amazed at how fast I went from fine to miserably sick. It's a pity, because the game seemed intriguing up to that point, but if you are at all prone to motion sickness I would avoid it.
I don't recommend this game.

I have most of the rest of this series. If you complete every level, I think it's an excellent value as far as playing time goes. Graphics are very clear and unambiguous. I enjoy these games as a relaxing way to spend some time. Nothing frantic or overly frustrating. Just challenging enough, with other puzzles thrown in for variety between each HO scene.
I recommend this game!

Although there are five cases here, I was able to get through 2 1/2 of them on the trial. So, that would make only 2 hrs total for the game. I actually enjoyed the game, but for me, it's just too short to justify buying it.
I don't recommend this game.

Halfway through the game in just under an hour. (There is an in game progress meter) I can't see buying the game for only another hour's worth of play time. The game itself was ok, pretty standard. Just way too short to justify a buy for me.
I don't recommend this game.

First let me say that I am a fan of other titles in this series. This one left me flat however. There is just way too much running all over the map. Back and forth, back and forth some more, rinse and repeat endlessly. The HOPs are clear and I did enjoy most of the the other puzzles, but without being able to jump via the map, you are going to be doing a LOT of clicking from scene, to scene, to scene and back again to accomplish objectives. The game is a decent length, but again, a lot of that time is used in movement vs puzzles. Not something I would buy again given the option.
I don't recommend this game.

I'm not usually one to finish games very fast, but I was able to finish this one in the trial hour without using hints. It is a very standard HOG. There are no complex puzzles, just variations on the HO theme, such as finding small sections of a larger picture, finding one type of object (gold nuggets for example), and picking out the bad guys in a non timed, non penalized "shoot out". It's pleasant and well worth checking out on the trial, but in my opinion, it is just too short to justify purchase.
I don't recommend this game.

First let me say, I like almost everything about this game. Story, gameplay, puzzles, all good. When the trial ended, I intended to buy it. When I checked an online walkthrough though, I found that I had gotten exactly half way through it on a one hour trial. Even as a deal of the day, I just can't recommend a game this short.

Just another boring HOG.

The first two Azada adventures really stood out amongst the endless march of HOG clones. I replay them often. The last two installments have strayed so far from the amazing original versions, that I sincerely believe they should drop the name. There are so MANY games out there that are so similar to these later installments that I often cannot remember one thing about them after I finish playing them. I'm honestly fed up with game after game of the same tiresome gameplay. Unless someone wakes up and goes back to the original Azada, I will not be buying any more of this series.
I don't recommend this game.

As others have stated, the only real flaw in this game is the length, it was short. The length is the only reason I don't mark it as a five star. On the other hand, a LOT of entertainment was contained in that time. Not the usual run of the mill puzzles, there are several "Rube Goldberg" machines that you need to assemble, which was a very nice change. The artwork is good, and the game packs in a lot of humor. Even with the short length, I think it is very worthwhile purchase.
I recommend this game!

I genuinely liked this game, and honestly thought it would be a buy for me. The artwork is good, the story was interesting, and I am a huge Christmas Carol fan. Unfortunately, the game is much too short. I checked the walkthrough after I finished the trial, and I was about 3/4 through with the game. On this basis alone, I just can't recommend the game.
