This is a well put together straight forward mystery, and that I like. Everything in this story, graphics, sound, voice overs are well done. So why am I hesitating buying it? I don't know if it has enough value for the dollar. The original murder she wrote had 5 cases, this one has 3 and the initial one is a repeat from last time, so in actuality there are only 2 new cases.I still may use a punch card on it. I need to think a bit more.
I recommend this game!

I am of the generation who remembers exactly were they where when they heard of Kennedy's assassination. So when I saw this I was curious as to what it was all about. Turns out, it's about a woman who is having visions about that incident and a pink teddy bear that belongd to her mother. Games that center around supernatural or occult themes do not interest me in the least. Others may find this a good game, but as soon as I saw where it was leading I uninstalled. .
I don't recommend this game.
Continue the jigsaw puzzle fun in Jigsaw Boom 2 as you piece together wonderful high quality pictures.

I downloaded this to take a look at it. The first thing I did was take a look at available puzzles. Many of them looked the same plus most of them didn't have a lot of colour. I was so uninspired I didn't even bother trying to do one. This may be the poorest compilation of jigsaw puzzles I have ever seen.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a game for those who want something that is light hearted with just a touch of humor. It has 4 difficulty settings. Being someone who likes to relax while playing I chose the easiest, Zen, which is untimed. The game is a standard swap match 3 with nice colorful easy to see tiles. After each board you get to fill in portions of a "wonder." Also there is a village that you build. From the possibilities given for where to place objects in the village I have a feeling this game may take a while to complete. If so, you will definitely get your moneys worth. This is the type of game I very much enjoy. I used a credit to buy it.
I recommend this game!

Being some what of an Elvis fan, I had to try this game out. I found it very enjoyable and unlike some other adventure games not at all frustrating. I played on the casual setting as per norm. The hint system is one of the best I have ever seen. In hidden object scenes it circles the wanted object, and when used to find ou the next step it guides you to exactly where you need to go. I understand some players would find this too much hand holding but it works well for me. Some of the hidden object scenes use pictures instead of words. On these ones I can see children perhaps helping out. The back ground music is pleasant and not obtrusive. If you are an Elvis fan or if you enjoy games that are not to difficult to navigate through, give this a try.
I recommend this game!

I loaded this game at 1 am with the idea of playing for a few minutes, going to bed and finishing the demo in the morning. I couldn't stop playing. The graphics are beautful, colorful and clear. The characters are very real looking. Nice voice overs and pleasant background music. Because the game is a mix of hidden object and sim style strategy, there a nice variety of things to do. I've also done a couple quite easy mini games. Oh and you also get to name the farm dog. As you make money you have opportunities to improve the farm. Combine this with a touching story line and you have a great game.
I recommend this game!

I bought this on a daily deal thinking it seemed like a nice story, and it seemed to be. However I found it totally frustrating. I will admit not being real good at adventure style games. I need help quite a bit of the time. I found very often when I would click on a hint it would show me something I already knew, or it would refer me to some other location and I couldn't figure out how to get there. A map would be very useful. There's way to much back and forth for my liking. Obviously a lot of people liked this. I'm glad I got in on a daily deal, because even that was wasted money. I put poor level of challenge as this was too challenging for me. As I said, this kind of game isn't my strong suit. I'll be more cautious before I buy the next one.
I don't recommend this game.

I lasted about two minutes. First I didn't like that the game was in a windowed mode and not full screen. That may have been something I could get used to. However the constant movement continually interrupting my thinking was unbearable. I''ll stick to the cardboard table top game.
I don't recommend this game.
