I bought this game nearly 2 years ago and the "glowing eyes" on the cover pic. kept turning me off. Finally started playing it after Christmas and WOW, what a great game.
The only problem I had was the very well hidden collectables and if not for the SG I doubt if I would have found many of then.
The story-line, sounds, colors, hint system, map, Hidden object scenes and even the mini games were a delight (& I normally don't care for mini's ; )
If you have been looking for a pleasant change of pace that won't exhaust your gray-matter, please give this on a try.
I'm giving this one a full ***** 5 out of ***** 5 on my personal enjoy-ability list !!!

I have all the previous Witch Islands and liked them but this one I found disappointing with too many mini games, but some of them are fun and seemingly original.
I do not recall the previous Witch Islands having so much back & forthing and so few hidden object scenes but this one is simply a big disappointment.
The graphics are good & I still like my entertaining Funny Gator Helper.
Perhaps it's just my "mood" affecting my opinion so I'm adding an ex-tra * and I fully suggest you play the full trial before judging it as a "get or no-get"
I'm going to "recommend" it because my post holiday blahs mood may have colored my opinion.
I am giving this one a ** 2 out of ***** 5 on my personal enjoy-ability list.

I pretty much enjoyed this Christmas game and the story-line was somewhat different but in a good way.
The graphics were good, music was on a loop and I turned it down.
The one thing that sort of ruined the enjoy-ability for me was all the to & fro--to and fro- to and froing ! My exaggerated example would be a "sneeze" that would be go to one place, pick up 1 object (ahhh ) then map/hint would show go to another place and finally (chooo) and for me that can take a lot of enjoyment out of playing a game with smooth continuity. I have to admit I started using the Hint & Map buttons just to get through and get to my favorite Hidden Object scenes !These are my personal feelings about this game and you may find it
more to your liking.
On my personal enjoy-ability scale I am giving this one a *** 3 out of *****5.

Review is going to be short and sweet after completing it.
I very much enjoyed this Christmas game, and I choose this one because it was on "sale"
Shure did have to use "hint" several times because of the really tough to find little - teenie-tiney objects but it really did not bother me after the 3rd hint ; )
Next year I will try to complete my Wonderland collection because of the excellent visuals and eye-candy.& there are approximately 25 or 26 scenes to play.
I also put a list of all my Christmas games in my "Big Fish Notes" folder so I can get an earlier start on them : )
I am giving this one a **** 4 out of ***** 5 on my personal enjoy-ability list : )

I just started to play this morning and it seemed so familiar that I checked to see if I had reviewed it but found I had forgotten to : (
I recalled what a great game this was and had saved it in my GM to do the replays which were just delightful.
My Fellow Fishies have written great descriptive reviews and the positive ones I agree with wholeheartedly.
This game has a good story-line, music, graphics colorful eye-candy color and relaxing gameplay.
If you have read this far please give it a try and you just might love it.

Some of my fellow Fishies have done a wonderful job describing this colorful & enjoyable game and also have 5 more of the Enchanted Kingdom games in my collection !
All I am going to say is please checkout some of my Fellow Fishies great descriptive reviews and if you like colorful graphics - unobtrusive background music decent storylines and a good fantasy game, I think you just might enjoy this one....and by the way the Bonus Chapter is good also IMHO .

Just to start with I got this game after reading """pennmom36 's""" review !
Right now I'm so addicted to "Adventure Trip: Wonders of the World CE "...when I just want the challenge to find Hidden Objects & not do much else I'll play this...It is somewhat glitchy on my desktop , so if I bump into a glitch I just un-install/re-install it. The CE has a lot of (14) extra scenes to play & I'm glad I got it.
By the way when I first started to play it I was very un-impressed with it and the tiny objects but after a while I found that if I changed my Monitors color settings (mostly "nigh-time" mode it made a lot of objects pop out more visible .Boy did I became addicted, you know, just one more scene and I'll do chores---ha-ha !

One of my favorite series and it didn't disappoint me.
Plenty of eye-candy colors, intriguing storyline, fitting background music very few "glitches" (in the Bonus Game in a couple of mini-games the mouse sensitive area was too high & caused scene to close but didn't end it )
If you like seeing foreign archeology places and eye-candy colors plus a good storyline give this one a try.

I fully agree with pennmom36 !
This is the last "Chimeras" labeled game I will buy unless the Devs return to the original format and I have bought the last 8 previous ones.
I kept hoping it would improve at least in storyline but no it didn't.
I was wearing out my sneakers with all the "to & fro - ing" and if it wasn't for the hint button I would be barefoot because of the mileage !
I finally skipped through the whole thing playing the hidden object minis and that's it !
This is my personal opinion and you may really enjoy this game if you give it a try.
I am giving this one a * 1 out of a possible ***** 5 on my personal enjoyability scale.

First of all let me say that I much prefer colorful fantasy type games.
I bought this one going by the reviews and because the title was my maiden name [ with the "E" ]
I did play the preview & even though I did not care for it I went ahead and bought it : /
I literally forced myself to "play" hoping I would get into it but All I did was "hint & skip my through the complete game.
I did like some of the mini-games and the few hidden object scenes but that was all.
My biggest complaint is VISUAL, the needed objects were almost invisible and I can't count the times I had to change my monitor color-view setting which is very rare for me. Way too many objects were just about invisible. And there was the constant "to-and-fro-ing"
The sound and music were pretty good though.
Try this game with an open mind because you may really enjoy it But I Did Not !
