The game itself is alright. I found it quite easy as I play a lot of time management games. I rarely had to play the levels more than once to get gold. The fact that 2 out of 10 levels in each location are used for mini levels that take no effort or time at all makes it a lot less levels than I would personally count.
And I may be reading the situation wrong, but the game seems to have mild racist undertones. The white characters are patient (except the teenagers) and the black characters are impatient. And then when we get to Africa the in-game arch enemy says that the salon is nice, but it is the only salon in Africa. I found all these elements quite disconcerting.
I don't recommend this game.

A good number of levels, but not a massive challenge

Good graphics and I like the game play. I wish the levels were slightly harder to get gold on and there were more achievements, but apart from that it was good. I'd recommend it, but not to expert TM players.
I recommend this game!

I run a cafe and have worked as an elf, so this game clearly called to me! I also adore TM games, so win win win.
I never listen to the music, so have no idea about that.
I bought it a few levels in and am glad I did.
Only majorly irritating thing is the endless mode. There is no indication of what level you have reached, or if you are doing well. I played for most of an afternoon and eventually just gave up out of boredom. There was no seeming end point or leveling up, or high score. Which gives me no incentive to play the first time, and definitely none to go back and try it again.
*SPOILER* I found that the less I rushed the game the easier it was to get three stars on every level. It made me play in a different way than my instincts told me, which probably makes it more possible for less experienced players to get the golds. But it took me a while to discover this, so that was a challenge in itself.

I liked the game. I like all TM games, but I finished all the levels in gold time within an afternoon. I still have to go back and beat the developer's scores, but apart from that, it was all over in a few hours. It was a fun afternoon, but not a long enough game to have felt worth the game token used.
I recommend this game!

Having to spend a large chunk of the hour trial on easy level made this game seem even less worthwhile for me. I could have switched to expert mode to play out the rest of the hour, but it would have involved replaying the same games I'd just gone through. None of the levels I played posed even a slight challenge so far, so I won't be buying the full game. I'm sure the expert levels will have a much shorter time to complete, but as I had minutes to spare on each level, I can't imagine it was too tricksome. Not a full review as I only played the trial, but I was bored quickly. I would only recommend it to people who are new to TM and farming games.
I don't recommend this game.

I was pleasantly surprised by the challenge this game provided. I am always aiming for the gold on every level and this is one of the few games that I have not been able to do that on... yet! I still have one level on silver, 3 on gold and all the rest on platinum. A few games released nowadays are over and done with in a few hours, this is actually worth the money I spent on it. I will be going back to it every now and then to try and get those last achievements. Not one to be immediately deleted from my computer, unlike so many others!
I recommend this game!

The graphics are good, the concept is the same as all hero quest time-management games. I've played a lot of these games and thought that this one was a bit quick to finish. I've had it for 9 days, not played every day, but just completed gold stars on all the levels and getting all the achievements. Although, saying that, some other games seemed to be completed after only a few hours of play. If you haven't tried these kind of games before it is a great choice.
I recommend this game!

I downloaded the free trials of both the first and second TV farm. I was disappointed when the trials ended as I was enjoying the game, so I decided to buy TV Farm 2. Although it is a fun little game I finished it with all gold within a few hours. A very short game and not worth the purchase really. But it is fun, so if you're not an experienced TM player you will probably enjoy it.
Times of great peril give rise to even greater heroes - or so the story goes in Dragon Crossroads, a time management game with a fantasy twist!

Overall this is the type of game I like to play. Anything time management is generally good. But after playing quite a few of them, this one seems far too simple. During the free trial I experienced the levels getting trickier and assumed they would progress throughout the game, but the difficulty level plateaued. I only had to retry about two levels after taking the wrong route, and got well within gold each time. And there were way too many 'cave' levels... a bonus level at best, definitely not worth wasting over 5 game levels on. If you're not experienced you could enjoy it though!
I don't recommend this game.
