I was eagerly waiting for the next Vacation Adventures game and i was very happy when this game came out. This game deserves 5 stars, but i had to deduct one star because of the hassle with the downloading, requiring a REPAIR MS Visual C++2012. My HP Computer a Vista 10? is not that old and in the past and with other games i never had to REPAIR before the game would install. Hopefully The Cruise Director Game and games similar to Christmas Wonderland will come out soon.
Was waiting eagerly for this Christmas Wonderland game.

I have all the previous Christmas Wonderland games and i love this series. The only reason i don't give 5 stars is that you have to REPAIR before it will install. In the past we did not have to do that. It is a bit annoying. I am now looking out for another Vacation Adventure; Park Ranger or Cruise Director game.

I really love this series of Park Ranger. The scenes are beautiful with some moving animals and the game play is great.
The reason i don't give this game 5 stars is that there is a problem with downloading the game. I have to "Repair" it before it will install. I have a HP Windows 10 computer so it is not a very old computer.
I am looking forward to the next Park Ranger and to the Christmas Wonderland game.
The Vacation Adventures.series are great. The Park Rangers i like a bit better. Because you have to rotate the Jigsaw pieces, i find it too difficult. I would have given this game 5 stars if there was an option in the EASY mode not having rotating puzzle pieces. I love the puzzle with the Map. where you have to fit in the small puzzle pieces. I wish there were more of these type of jigsaw puzzles in this game. I recommend this game
I recommend this game!

This game has a few good points. I like the colorful pictures. There are plenty of objects to find. Some of the information is quite interesting. The game would be very good if they had visited cities one country at the time. I love jigsaws but I had to skip some jigsaw puzzles because the puzzle pieces could not be rotated.
I like Hidden Objects games and there are not many straight HOGS. Some time ago I tried one of the earliest Shopping clutter games and i did not like it. A few days ago i tried Shopping Clutter 8 and i thought it was pretty good and I would buy it when it is on special. There are variations of objects to find. Because "Shopping Clutter 6, Love is in the Air" had many good reviews, i tried it yesterday. I am in the minority, i did not like this game at all.

First of all i agree with one reviewer that the introduction and game set-up is confusing. More worrying is that last night and again tonight the cursor was lost whilst playing. Both times I had to get out of the game by control-alt-delete. The cursor worked well since i got out of the game. I wanted to buy the game because i still have 16 credits. I love the Vacation Adventure games, but they don't come out very often and there are very few other games i like.
I love Hidden Object games and I thought this game would be fun, but it is NOT, There are many shortcomings, including NOT seeing the lowest line of objects to find. Also puzzle pieces that will NOT move when accidentally placed in the wrong position. I downloaded this game twice to see whether it would play better the second time, but it did not.
The Big City Adventures and the Vacation Adventures are FAR SUPERIOR. For an EXPENSIVE COLLECTOR'S EDITION this is a VERY POOR QUALITY game. The "Road trip USA" and "Road Trip Europe" are similar games but even as a Standard game, they are MUCH BETTER than this very INFERIOR game.
All roads lead to Rome! With thousands of years of art, history, and culture on display, it's the perfect destination for your next Big City Adventure.
This is my favorite Series. I had given up hope that we would get another Big City Adventure game, because the previous game was 18 months ago. The best part of BCA games are getting lots of interesting information about the cities. I love it that this game is pure Hidden Objects. I hate HOPA games. Most of the puzzles i also like. The BCA games tick all the right boxes for me. I have replayed several of the games many times, so they are great value. Hopefully we will get another BCA game in 6 months' time or sooner. I also like the Vacation Adventures series and I hope that we will get a Park Ranger or Cruise Director game very soon.
