I had a lot of fun with this game. I played the standard version which was just fine. It's long playing, and the mini-games are not your run-of-the-mill HO, often fairly challenging. I enjoyed the storyline, too. The graphics were very good, and the map is a great resource since there are so many areas to cover. I'm impressed with the way the games are just getting better and better here in Big Fish.
I recommend this game!

I have only just used up my trial hour, and I WILL be buying this game! Even in casual mode, this game is quite challenging and fun. I was surprised by some of the mini-games being quite different, with a twist on the usual, even the HOs. The graphics are very good, and I found it a smooth play. Nice background music, too, without it being annoying (as some can be). You don't waste a lot of time with story sequences, either, and I love that you can control the speed you go through them (I'm a fast reader and tend to get annoyed with slow voiceovers). The story is a little weak, but the game play is so much fun, I don't really care!
I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed playing this game. Long playing, and variety enough to keep it interesting. I also liked the fact that just when you think you've reached the end of the game, you get another task to perform. It had good graphics, and interesting storyline, fun characters and entertaining games that are not too difficult, but not ridiculously easy. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was that the ending is rather anti-climactic. Having said that, I do recommend this game!

Finally, a game that lasts! As an intermediate player, it took a few hours to finish this game in casual mode. Graphics are great, challenging HOS, fun puzzles, all-in-all, a fun play. I definitely recommend it!

...unless you just want a time-waster. Having said that, I think this would be a great game for new players to HO. The storyline is kind of lame, and in actual fact, I just skipped past it. But I think it's challenging enough for a new player to enjoy and not get frustrated. Graphics were good enough that you can easily find your objects, unlike some where the objects don't look even remotely like its description. I played this right through in less than an hour as an intermediate/expert player. So, yes, I would recommend this game, but only to new, inexperienced and younger players.
I recommend this game!

I love that this game is so long playing - and I didn't get the collector's edition! The mini games are not TOO easy, but don't leave you absolutely stumped, either. The graphics are good, and I like that you have to go back through all the floors to find what you need. The story line is only so-so, and I would have liked a few more hidden object scenes, otherwise I would have given it 5 stars. I would recommend this game, though. Lots of fun!

I really enjoyed playing this game as I really liked that it had the strategy mini-games as well as a hidden object, but I found the playing time much too short. You're having a great time, and all of a sudden, it's done with nowhere else to go. I felt a little ripped off - truth be told - as I downloaded it to try, and after an hour's play, I decided to buy it only to get another 15-20 minutes play before it was done! A real shame.
I don't recommend this game.

I really enjoyed playing this game, but it was WAY too short. I would have liked a few more levels. I kind of felt like I wasted a game credit. By the time I purchased it after the trial, I only had about an hour of game play left. I would recommend it for trial play, but I don't know if it's worth the purchase price because of the short play time.
