the first release was so excellent ! but this #2 was a major bad surprise. i can't look at the pages of misspelled words. and i really cannot listen to the atonal plunking music. yikes ! hard pass. maybe #3 will be back to standard.
I love the other Farm Frenzy (FF) games - and I love it when a game series is updated. But this one is the pits! Thieving "moles" poke their snouts into the chickens' bottoms and steal the eggs. Distracting stuff floats around on the screen - sometimes when you click it, there is a rainbow "puff" and maybe that is good - sometimes it just keeps floating. The well gives you tall grass that obscures your animals and their products. The pigs make a defecating sound and movement when they produce ham. The truck progress is non-linear #seriously# - and the airplane is just ODD: where is it? when will it get to the farm? how much will it hold? I agree with other reviewers: go back to the drawing board. I would give this 2 stars except for the disappointment.
This game bills itself as the successor to the My Kingdom for the Princess series, and THOSE games were a lot of fun! But I found Druid Kingdom to be annoying. (a) The tasks assigned cannot be queued, so you must endlessly click until your little worker becomes available. (b) Even the very early levels are branched in different directions, but you only have ONE worker - until you accidentally click on an icon that lets you buy another one for a short time. (c) The characters are pasted OVER THE GAME BOARD while they deliver their little meaningless speeches. And if you replay a level, you will have to cope with the same interruptions each time. There are a lot of fun strategy games out there, but this was a big disappointment.

This is a hidden object game with a search list of items. My absolutely awful rating is based on the fact that there are SEVERAL items hidden for each one that is listed ... and you will get a "penalty buzzer" sound if you click on any of these extras after you have found the first one. For example, you may be asked to find an apple. You click on the object, and the object dissolves off the screen, and the item in the list is grayed out. (Fine so far.) But as you continue on the same screen, you find two other apples?! This occurred on EVERY screen I played. It was very frustrating.
Nice graphics. Some good and some annoying music. Many spelling and grammar errors. There is a nice feature to right-click for a pop-out magnifying glass. Hints are given as a large sparkly area which covers over a dozen small objects.
Big Fish sells so many good HOG's - just skip this one!
