I bought the game, finished playing it. It's a long, long game. Not because it's such a great game, but because it has you running around and around. I became tired and bored of the game because of this. The hints refresh quickly, however, much of the time they weren't helpful. Lots of puzzles, some of the instructions were poor.
I think the developers wanted to give us a great game, but it's the quality not the quantity that counts.
I don't recommend this game.

I bought this game, played in the casual mode with music turned off. The hints were very generous. The story is different from the run of the mill games. It starts off sad, but has a happy ending. The HOG scenes are easy to find, a little more difficult as the game progresses. Many many different scenes and very well done. I liked the game, it was a nice change from what we are used to getting. The game is very long, so there are hours and hours of play.
I recommend this game!

I bought the game, it is a long game. There is a map of where you are and where the tasks are, which is a help. It's just kind of eerie. I'm glad I played it and now I'll uninstall it and perhaps play in a year or so.
I recommend this game!

I've played this game 3 times. After you find out what some of the objects are called, and a better idea of where they are, the game is more enjoyable. The developers could have done better in that there are objects you collect and go into the inventory, but never use. You must use fingerprint powder to take the fingerprints, but that is kept in the inventory, it would have been much better to have it seperate at the side for easy use. All in all, it's a good game and fun to play.
I recommend this game!

This is a 3M game. It's isn't a stressful game and you can finish the game without getting stuck. As the game pieces fall you can still make a match. I enjoyed it.

There is nothing exciting about this game. It includes a lot of dialogue, hidden object scenes and shadowed scenes. You can play timed or not. I wouldn't want this game, it seems like it was made many many years ago, and now we have more sophicated games. It's just a light little game, nothing special.
I don't recommend this game.

A cute story, fairy tale like. You have stores all over the country. You try to make and serve the customers as fast as possible before they get mad. This game is on the same format as Cake Mania. It's a time management game.
I recommend this game!

I wish I liked all the games as much as this one. Lot's of puzzles, some hidden object scenes, but not so hard you can't find them with a little searching. You pick up things in different rooms. One thing I really appreciate is that when you are finished in one room, there is a message that locations is complete. That is so helpful. Also, as you collect pieces of things you can place them where they belong even if you don't have them all. This keeps the inventory from being so full. Just a wonderful game.
I recommend this game!

You have 2 choices, one is casual and the other is difficult. The hints refill quickly. You click several places and this opens up a picture of the things you need to find. For those of you who like this type of game, I'm sure it is enjoyable. I don't like this kind, but won't give it a bad review.
I recommend this game!
