Good combination of hidden object and time management. Can be played in timed or untimed mode. Fun minigames. Build three department stores, one department at a time. Especially enjoyed the Halloween store and Christmas store. One suggestion for a sequel: Let the player have some decision in how the store looks.
I recommend this game!

Fun game. Good story. Interesting minigames. I enjoyed the variety of scenes, having to get a supply of blood, and acquiring special powers. Only negative comment I have is that I found Igor annoying (like JarJar Binks).
I recommend this game!

The third in the series is as enjoyable as the first two. This is a good combination of time management and hidden objects. This time you get to design a zoo as you manage a selection of restaurants with different cuisines.
I recommend this game!

Not a bad game, but not the great either. I think there should be more game play and less talk between the characters. After a while I didn't even bother reading what they were saying. Enjoyed the redecorating part.
I recommend this game!

Overall, this was an enjoyable game. I would have prefered more hidden object scenes and more minigames. On the positive side, I liked the camera function and finding rubies for the necklace. I also liked the photo album that let you travel directly to scenes where action was required rather than going scene by scene, wondering what to do next.
I recommend this game!

I loved the first game, but found this one even better! Lots of hidden object play. I liked shooting the bandits and searching for four-leaf clovers and mystery items in the scenes. Artwork is beautiful. Like the unlimited play at the end. Only improvement I would make: a few of the minigames were confusing. I couldn't always tell what I was supposed to do. But there was a skip option, which was helpful. Overall, excellent game. Hope there's a third in the series!
I recommend this game!

Great game. Lots of hidden object game play. Fun minigames. Although the game is timed, there is plenty of time to find all the objects. Boat is reminiscent of Titanic, especially the staircase. I especially like the free play if you find 50 anchors.
I recommend this game!

Fun HO game. Eerie circus atmosphere. One problem: Didn't know until game was over and I opened awards page that I was supposed to look for starfish throughout game. Other than that, it was a lot of fun. Interesting minigames. Graphics were great.
I recommend this game!

Perhaps this is an older game I purchased as a $2.99 special (I can remember). If so, that would explain why it is inferior to a lot of the hidden object games available now.
I don't recommend this game.

Great Game. Lots of game play. After you finish the regular game, you have a secret mission and then free play. You also get to shoot the outlaws that occasionally pop in and pop out of a scene. Lots of hidden object scenes - and lots of fun!
I recommend this game!
