Some of the things that bothered other reviewers were not a problem for me so I enjoyed playing the demo. In the case of this CE they actually let you know what you are getting for the extra cost so that's a plus. The items were relatively easy to find but there were always a few you had to search for. Nice pastime.
I recommend this game!

The game seemed overly simple at first, but it did get a little more difficult. After every hand you win you get a star, and with the star you are able to do 1 bit of detective work. That part is the most fun part of the game. You also win money every hand with which you can buy an almost unlimited amount of jokers - which they don't tell you about, you just have to figure out that the gold card in the lower right corner is your joker. The game is short. I almost finished it during the demo. The face of the cards could be so much more pleasant to look at than what they created here. This is really a 3 1/2 for me. I recommend you try before you buy.
I recommend this game!

I did like this game. It is a new concept, at least for me, and I thought it was clever but I had trouble following it at times. I also found it hard to see things without always making it large, small, large. I would definitely encourage others to try it out but I don't think I want to buy it.
I recommend this game!

I have to admit, this has become one of my favorite genres. While I love Joe and the original clutter games, I find these a bit easier to play and just love them. This one has all new images and while the game play is similar I found it quite different from previous versions. Cute story. A buy for me.
I recommend this game!

This puzzle is basically a bunch of photos cut into pieces that you have to compile into the photo again without any idea of what the photo is. I didn't find it very enjoyable at all. If you are going to call it a jigsaw, that's what it should be. The pictures were ok but not real interesting. You are timed (although you can forego that part) and the amount of time allowed, a minute or two, was - at least for me - no where near realistic. A no buy for me.
I don't recommend this game.

SO MUCH STUFF would mean to me that there were SO MANY different images but they kept using the same ones over and over. I was enjoying it at first but when the same images kept popping up I found it got boring in a hurry. On top of that, much of it was so dark you could not possibly see some of the items you were supposed to find. In a couple cases I took a hint and could not see what the hint was pointing out. Lots of people liked it more than I did, so, as I usually say - give it a try - but I definitely would not buy the collector's edition on this one - wait for the regular
I don't recommend this game.

This might be ideal for a child but as an adult I found it unfun. Couldn't force myself to finish the demo. As I always recommend when others have a very different rating - try it for yourself.
I don't recommend this game.

I was excited to see this and ready to buy until I played the demo and have to agree with some others who felt this was a let down. The architecture is a bit different, so there's that, but as far as I can see, having played Solitaire x many times, it is 99% the same game as far as any game play. There are some variants that are different but that is not nearly enough to get me to spring for the game, especially as a collector's edition. Please guys, you are creative, so create! No buy for me but someone who has never played other jewel match games may like it.
I don't recommend this game.

Suspension of disbelief is definitely needed for this game as the creatures you are trying to find are not familiar on our earth and they are pretty outrageous! I really encourage you to try this. In order to find and prove the existence of each animal you must pass three levels - HOG, Clutter type game and puzzle. Its a buy for me.
I recommend this game!
Meet the most fun & challenging clutter yet!

Sorry if you found this too hard or confusing, but that's kinda what these games are about. Brain exercise! I loved this demo. I do have to admit that I will wait for the regular edition because I don't often find the collector's edition delivers much extra for the extra money. However, I can't wait for that one to show up. Joe added some new elements and different challenges. I love his addition of quotes and observations on life. Keep it up Joe!
I recommend this game!
