This is a really lame review, since I've only played like 20 minutes of the demo. I've been clicking on this title all day waiting to see a review, but so far, zip. I didn't have a good time during those 20 minutes, and, so far, the little bitty puzzle pieces you collect, while intriguing, don't seem to amount to enough for a collector's edition. With this weekend's sale, was hoping to find a Collector's Edition to buy for my bonus punches, but it seems like this may not be the one.
I really don't want to waste any more of my {valuable? haha!} time on this demo so would really like to hear something from the serious reviewers!
Found the story stilted, the gameplay stalled. There was little I enjoyed except the promise of a jigsaw puzzle at the end with the collectables. Then again, how many jigsaw puzzle games are there out there? I enjoy them, but they are, to me, supposed to be the icing on the cake, not the be all end all.
I don't recommend this game.

First of all, I love this developer because they let you go back and get the collectables that you missed. Just saying.
Of the hundreds of Hidden Object games I've gotten from Big Fish, except for the Farmingtales genre-type, this one is the best HOPA ever!
I thought the storyline was downright good, although that is not one of my "must haves," as I'm not so into storylines as I am into gameplay. As to gameplay, I would not ever consider myself an expert, and I always play in "casual" mode, I'm pretty easy to please. I will leave all the pros and cons points up to the Seasoned reviewers, whom I really admire and depend upon before I even download a game. But I must say, I don't remember when I've had so much fun! The nuances are just delightful... Midas's comments, and that adorable Fairy Godmother! Loved it! Those are the little bitty extras are what make a game for me! Of course, the morphing objects and the collectable puzzle pieces are both the "must buy" objects for me.
I have very very rarely reviewed a game, but I had to for this one. I believe this may be my all-time favorite HOPA, as I can't remember another one that I have enjoyed so much!
It is right now the very wee hours of the morning and it's way past my bedtime, but I can't seem to stop playing! I'm probably not even half way done with the game, and I can't wait to play on. I really hope I go to bed now and not hit the "Play Again" button, because I'm a VERY mature adult and I have horse poo to pick up in the morning. Or maybe it can just wait til tomorrow! LOL!
I recommend this game!

I normally don't do reviews, and this one will be short as all the other reviews give the facts needed to know. While a bit glitchy, this is a really superb game! It has all the earmarks of a CE, such as a walkthrough guide, a bonus chapter, achievements, and special characters to find. I am just starting the Bonus Chapter, and I believe I've found something like 21 or so out of the 35 special characters, so assume there will be quite a few in the bonus chapter. This game has a map that will jump, also which shows where there are actions to do and special characters not yet collected. Puzzles are fun and HOS are interactive with little hidden places to find a few things also. This is a hot buy IMHO.
I recommend this game!

I live just across the river from Laughlin, NV, so I tried this one as the Coyote & Wolf games are a couple of my favorites. These play just like in the casinos... unfortunately, I did about as I do at the casinos, quickly down $200. It was fun to "bet max," tho, as I surely don't do that in the casinos, being a "local." Also, I was able to win on the Diamond game, and I'm up $200 now. This is a great game to really get the feel of real casino slots! I will be buying it next Monday.
I recommend this game!

Seems either you liked it or didn't, no in betweens, I'm glad I decided to try it, as I usually don't try anything with only 2 stars, and seldom 3 stars, but when I read the reviews, I saw so many differences in opinions. The only thing missing might be the interactive story line, but to me, just the fun puzzles and magnifying glass part of the HO scenes took care of that for me. I really enjoyed it.
I recommend this game!

I bought this game, but am not really enthused. I'm almost as sick of starting out in front of a gate with a car to investigate as I am waking up in a hospital or a jail! This one is easier than most, but very much the same. The extra punch this weekend inspired me more to buy this game than the game itself. At least the car was a neat one.
I recommend this game!

I like this kind of HO game as much as, if not more, than the Pop Top games, my other all time favorite! Don't have to move between screens, figure out obscure uses of inventory objects, and easy but fun mini-games, best of all, one after each and every HO screen! Just really fun mindless game! Have played others with this format, and would buy every one!
I recommend this game!
