This game was way too easy. The objects weren't hidden at all. They were so obvious that I clicked on things without looking at the list and usually got them right.
I don't recommend this game.

As with all the other 7 Wonders match three games I loved this one. The little people marching back and forth across the bottom of the screen are a hoot. The cheerful colors are a nice change from the more serious and gloomy games I usually play. I must admit, I enjoy blowing things up in this game. What fun.
I recommend this game!

An evil spell has been cast over the town. The people have all locked themselves inside their houses leaving the town looking abandoned. The colors have a gray overcast. The sky is stormy. Other than that the graphics were just okay. The people and animals that you do see are plastic looking. The artists didn't even bother to hitch the horse to the coach in the opening scene. The music gets a little obnoxious at times. I had to get help on a couple of the puzzles. Other than that, an overall fun game.

This game has the usual storyline, graphics and HOG elements. Nothing new or exciting. There were some negatives. When I clicked on something I got the usual explanation but it vanished before I could finish reading it. If I clicked on the object again I got a hint, which I didn't want. It takes a little time to change scenes; so long that I found myself clicking twice after nothing happened. The music stops for a minute or so before it starts up again, leaving you in total silence for long periods of time. It's nothing new but it's not that bad. It's a fun way to spend a few hours.
I recommend this game!

This game will be fun for kids, probably girls. You get to play dress up with the character. I must admit I had a little trouble dressing her the first time since I couldn't think of anything else for her to wear and I did not meet the minimum clothing requirement. Other than that It was an okay middle of the road game.
I don't recommend this game.

This game takes me back to the first MYST game almost 20 years ago. This is either a very old game, or the artists are in training or the company is new and doesn't have much money. Either way, by today's standards it pretty terrible.
It took me a minute or two to find out how to play. It's 360.
I can't recommend it although in reading some of the other reviews I'm sure someone must like it.
I don't recommend this game.

This was the creepiest game I have ever played. It was disturbing but I loved it. If you love a good horror story play this game.

This game was middle of the road all the way through. Sometimes it was a little too easy. The hidden pieces were, for the most part not so hard to find. When you visited the area a second time it was even easier since you knew where the objects were already. The puzzles weren't that hard either. One puzzle called for a little homework, but some others made me wonder what age group were they thinking of. A couple of the puzzles had technical problems but persistence got me through. Sound and graphics were also mediocre. Buy it for some gentile easy fun, but only if it is on sale.
I recommend this game!

This game was fun but there were some drawbacks. The voice of the Phantom repeats randomly throughout, which gets tedious and annoying. You can't turn off the sound because you will miss vital clues if you do. You are provided with a map of the opera house and grounds which has an area on it that can't be accessed by this game. Only after you get to the end do you find out that you will have to buy the collector's edition and play the game all over to reach the final area. The game ends in the middle of the story.
I don't recommend this game.

I groaned when I saw the interface on this game. I don't like any of this developer's games.
The story and graphics are right out of a bad comic book. Interface and game play are tedious. Objects are sometimes almost impossible to find.
I lost interest after 28 minutes.
I don't recommend this game.
