Graphics excellent, music very nice. I loved the first 1000 doors because it was a little different than standard, this one is also different. I'm tired of very dark grahics and atmosphere, this one is pretty scenery and clear artistry, music changes to the scenes. In this one you go through the 4 different portals on the wall and each one takes you into a different land which was fun, although Tibet was a little gruesome. The mini games are good and the HOS are clean with some interaction. Most of the movements are logical which I always like. There is some back and forth but you only go so far back so not bad. Overall a very nice game.
I recommend this game!

I haven't played the full demo but am buying this one. The graphics are crisp and beautiful, I feel like I am really moving through the town and the rooms of the buildings. The voice over is pleasant and makes the story interesing to hear. The stories don't usually interest me but with this one I'm intrigued so have to see how it turns out. The HOS are major interactive and challenging so makes them pretty awesome! This game is a winner all the way for me!!

Right off I must say, I don't like the story line, especially with the pictures of the missing children etc., I found it disturbing. I tried the game because I really liked the look of the graphics and wasn't disappointed in that area - they are really nice, however, I found the HOS to not be extremely crisp so a little more challenging. The mini games were fun, some unique and since I play a lot of these games that's a big plus. All in all a good game.

The graphics in this game are AMAZING! I played part of the demo and decided I had to have it. There is a trailer like you would watch for a movie - again, awesome graphics. The game itself is challenging but logical in most places so fun to play in expert mode. The music is perfect for an adventure which is what this game is! The voiceovers are good the storyline very good. I don't find anything lacking in this game.

I have both previous Snark games and love them. Immediately was going to just purchase this one but in reading the reviews they were so mixed I decided to see for myself before buying. Liked it! The graphics are crisp and fun (after so many dark HOS games), the music fits the game and is pleasant. I had read in one of the reviews that there was no story but there is as per the previous Snark games. I always have to adjust to the style of these games but this one doesn't disappointment in my opinion. I purchased it!

I didn't like the first Puppet game so didn't buy it but this one is nice. Even though it's a dark story, the graphics themselves are very well done and pretty. The music goes with the adventure so good. The HOS aren't hard but you still have to look around - the scenes are very crisp and well done. The HOS like many have the couple of interactive items but these are pretty simple which I like because I don't like spending a lot of time in the scenes trying to figure out what I need to find and do. Overall, a very well done game.

This game is pretty awesome. It's very different than most of the ones I have played. The mini games are challenging but possible to figure out. It took me some time on a couple of them but a challenge is good. I liked the graphics and the music went with the scene so it was good. Unique game.

I've never played any of the gardenscape games so this was new for me. I wanted something upbeat, relaxing and fun and I found it in this. The graphics are colorful and crisp and the game can be played in relax mode or timed mode. I play in timed but so it's just a little bit of challenge but still easy enough to be fun. Loved it.

Didn't say in long enough to play full demo - didn't hold my interest. As many have said, ALOT of cut scenes. Graphics were okay but just not my cup of tea.

Unfortunately I had to leave my computer for a few minutes while playing the demo so didn't get too far into the game. I thought the characters looked like paperdolls but other than that the grapics are really pretty. I think it was the second HOS scene that I thought was very nice. The HOS scenes are good, not too easy but not a mess to look through. I think this is a good game and will probably get it when it comes out in regular edition.
