I had tried this game in Demo and didn't like it because it's too slow, the hidden objects are a little too small and the music was annoying. When purchasing another game this one popped up as 3.99 and you have limited time to respond so I liked the look of the graphics and bought it. As soon as I opened it to play I remembered it! I will say though the graphics are beautiful.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a HO game with mini games but no storyline. It also has 3 hidden boomerangs in each scene and as you find them it unlocks new levels - extended vacation. This game is very simple but soooooo relaxing. The music is great and goes perfect with the "vacation" setting of this game.
I recommend this game!

The scenery in this game is stunning - beautiful graphics, however, very hard to see the hidden objects - I rarely use hints and I found myself having to use at least one hint each scene. The music was very nice. I didn't care for the mini games of decorating the cake, arranging flowers - that was pretty lame. I didn't buy the game because I don't think I would play it more than the one time but it was a nice game.
I recommend this game!

I read other reviews before I played the demo. I have to say, I liked the demo of this game. I liked the more animated looking graphics because I'm tired of all the dark and grim! The music was pretty good also. The only drawback to me is I played on the hardest mode with no hints or skips and found it semi-easy even on this level. There is a lot of back and forth but I like that because it challenges my memory! Overall, I think this is a pretty good game and will buy it when it comes out in regular edition.
I recommend this game!

I really wanted to like this game because I'm tried of all the grim games and this one looked a little lighter but didn't even make it through the demo - too slow plus I hate games where you have to keep finding all of these little pieces of things. I did like that you had the option of lightening the areas.
I don't recommend this game.

This game was very long and I was never bored! Typically I play games in the hard or expert mode so this game was hard enough to be a good challenge but not so hard as to frustrate! A lot of people don't like the going back and forth to find or use things but I don't mind, this has a lot of going back and forth. Visuals are good, once in a while on the HOS it was a little difficult to see something but for the most part not bad.
I recommend this game!

I have Royal Envoy I which was great but this one is even better! Love it. I like that I'm in charge of collecting the money etc rather than the little guys in green running around and doing it - it is faster this new way. Adding the "food" makes it more challening also because now not only do you need lumber but you have to have the food so you have to think it out in advance!
I recommend this game!

I tried the trial on this and bought it because the beautiful animated artwork was a nice change of pace from the dark grim games that have been out lately. It was a little young but I still enjoyed it and it was just enough challenge to keep my interest but easy enough to be relaxing.
I recommend this game!

I was thrilled to see a new Big City Adventure. At first I only saw the Story one which was disappointing then I found the Classic. I don't think the scenes in this one are as nice as the ones in the past and they changed the music a little - I liked the music in the previous ones but all in all, it's a good game and I hope they make more.
I recommend this game!
