This is again a great "PuppetShow". As usual, the graphics are great, as well as the music.
There are 3 game modes; but there are sparkles even in the Hard mode...
The story is great. The mini-games are mostly on the easy side. The HOS are not cluttered.
There is a journal but no map.
The game length is good, for me about 3 1/2 hours.
I recommend this game as well as the others of the series.

This game is not as harmless as it looks like! With the story and the cartoonish graphics, you would think: cute, surely easy... Nope! This game is really challenging! I played in Expert mode:
There are no journals or maps. You will have to remember things.
The HOS are good, the objects not always easy to find.
The mini-games can be really challenging and there are not always instructions, so you'll have to guess or use the hint system, which is good.
But otherwise, the hint system is not really helpful, especially if you are not in the active location.
Some of the objects are in the location itself, and hard to find.
What I found negative was that the cut-scenes are long and you can't click to continue. And when you change location, it's also very slow.
Without skipping, I needed 2 1/2 hours.
All in all, a different, good, challenging game!

The storyline is not new but good. There is only one game mode; you can adjust the brightness which is quite important.
The graphics are bit blurry making the objects in the HOS sometimes hard to find.
The mini-games are easy.
The hint system is good, telling you where to go.
There is a journal and a useless map...
The game is rather short; without skipping, I needed less than 2 hours to finish.

The story is not really funny, but interesting. There are 2 game modes, although I don't really see a difference between the two.
The graphics are not the best, but clear.
The HOS are shown with sparkles. They are easy.
The mini-games are also easy.
There is a good journal, containing the clues found, but no map.
The hint system is good.
There are not too many cut-scenes which is ok for me.
The game is short; without skipping I needed a bit more than 1 1/2 hours to finish...
I would recommend to use a DD or a punch credit.

With the negative reviews, I was not sure what was awaiting me. Well, it's not that bad. The whole action takes place on a ship. There is a map, but it's not interactive. You will have to walk a lot, even if there are not that many rooms.
Ok, the graphics are not the best, but everything is clear.
The HOS can be challenging, since some of the objects are really small.
The mini-games are quite interesting, from easy to challenging.
You have to find 33 pearls on the ship. They are small! Look everywhere!
The ending is rather abrupt.
The game is not very long; for me about 2 1/2 hours.
I wouldn't recommend the game to somebody who doesn't like small objects...

In this game you have to find your husband and your son in a ghost town.
To solve a HOS, you must first find a card with a list of the objects.
The HOS are dark. You will often return to the same HOS, and have to find the same objects...
The mini-games are easy.
The hint system is of no use.
There is no map and a lot of walking back and forth.
The cut-scenes are too slow.
The whole game pace is slow, and I got bored pretty quickly.
All in all, very disappointing...

This game is good for beginners or for those who need a break from challenging games!
There is only one game mode. There are sparkles for the HOS.
Apart from the HOS, there are also objects to find in the locations. The mini-games are very easy.
The hint system is good.
There are not too many dialogs.
I needed a bit more than 1 1/2 hours to finish.
All in all, a very easy game, also good for the younger players.

The storyline is interesting: you meet a cursed captain and solve his problem. There are 3 game modes. There are no sparkles in the Advanced mode; good!
The graphics are clear, even in the HOS where the objects are easy to find.
The dialogs are short, which is good for me.
The mini-games are on the easy side but good.
There is a journal, containing the clues, but no map, which is okay since there are not too many locations to go to.
The hint system tells you "nothing to do here".
There are many things to do, never a slower moment!
The game is not very long; without skipping, it took me about 2 1/2 hours.
All in all, an easy game with lots to do, and nice graphics.

I loved the first game in the series. This one is as good! The graphics are gorgeous! There are 2 game modes and no sparkles in the Expert mode.
The story takes you to 5 different places. There is an interactive map to travel to the different locations. The active ones are highlighted.
The HOS are clear and the objects easy to find.
The mini-games are easy but interesting.
You have also a journal containing the clues.
There are 46 morphing objects to find.
The game is not very long; for me a bit more than 2 hours.
But for me, it's worth it!

Although the game is full of snakes, the storyline and the dialogs are funny. The graphics are a bit cartoonish but clear, and the voices are very accurate... There are 3 game modes; I played in Expert mode and there were no sparkles.
There are not many HOS but they are not cluttered and the objects are easy to find.
The mini-games are also very easy.
There is a journal and a map, allowing you to jump to a location.
The game is very logical, so you always know where to use a clue you found.
In some scenes you have to find clues for what happened; also an original idea.
The game is rather short; without skipping it took me a bit more than 2 hours.
So, ok it's very easy but I had fun and hope there will be a sequel.
I recommend it to all those who do not fear snakes.
