Yes this game is sexist but take it light-heartedly and this game is actually a lot of fun. I think people read too much into it, and actually would love it if the developers make a sequel called 'Making Mrs. Right', lol.
The game is challenging, levels do get difficult to complete w/ the allocated amount of time but is possible. Do expect to play certain levels couple of times. It can be frustrating trying to joggle all the men to 'teach' them the necessary skills to please the ladies. The storyline is predictable, don't expect much.
Overall it's a whimsical and light-hearted approach to 'training' the perfect man. Play the game, enjoy it....just don't read too much into it.
I recommend this game!

There's nothing special about the game, but ironically I had fun. Normally I don't care too much for a storyline in TM games, but this one had me kindof giggling.
The game is repetitive, no doubt. Boring at times and not much to upgrade but enjoyable. I recommend only buying this at DD price.
I recommend this game!

You're a travel agent helping others choose their vacation packages, but also, you travel w/ the vacationers to their destinations for mini-TM games. Each main city, it's the same as the previous but w/ additional features and extra challenge. Classic TM gameplay. Not much of a story, but I usually don't play TM games for the story.
If you're an old school TM gameplay lover, such as myself, definite buy!
I recommend this game!

The storyline was disappointingly predictable. It killed the excitement and anticipation for me - not as much fun playing a game when you already know the obvious. I was hoping for a twist but no such luck...to the point where I ended up disappointed more because of the lack of twist.
The game is shorter than I hope. Playing through, about 4 hrs? The bonus content is the usual HO scenes through the game and puzzles, just re-playable. Wallpaper and concept arts, which I personally don't care to pay extra money for, but some do enjoy it.
Overall, save your money and buy the standard edition. Actually I would only recommend waiting for it to be a Daily Deal if possible, not worth the price imo.
I don't recommend this game.

This game plays exactly like Juliette's Fashion Empire. I could be wrong but seems like they're from the same developers. The graphics are clear and fun and the flowers were beautiful. However, unlike Juliette's, I couldn't get into the game, didn't enjoy it as much and found it disappointing. The storyline was...well there wasn't one. Constantly waiting for new flowers to grow to replenish my stock was a bit annoying since it broke up a lot of my chains. I love TM games, but struggling to finish this one.
I recommend everyone to try the demo first. If you like the gameplay, look into Juliette's Fashion Empire.
I don't recommend this game.

This is the first time playing the Delicious series and everyone is right, the game is a lot of fun! I do hope BG will release more games in this series.
Only negative, I do agree w/ some previous reviewers, Paige can get annoying. At times I didn't mind her being part of the gameplay, but overall wish they didn't incorporate her into the gameplay. It's a personal preference, not a deal breaker...if you're a TM fan, this is still a game to have.
I recommend this game!

This definitely goes along well w/ the Dark Parables line. I thought the storyline was intriguing, but yet seemed a bit rushed toward the end lacking some details and explanation. I do like the idea that there are different endings (I won't spoil why or how). It was a bit overly done w/ all the flowers.
I'm not a fan of fragmented HOGS (actually despise it), Dark Parables is the probably one of the few games/developer lines I'll actually play that contains it. Says a lot about the game right there :)
Overall this was a beautiful addition to the Dark Parables line w/ a great twist to the fairytale. Personally, I play the game for the storyline versus game content. If you're someone that doesn't care for storyline and prefer game style, you might want to skip this since it's no different from all the previous ones.
I recommend this game!

The game is extremely challenging, which can get frustrating at times but well worth the effort when you finally over come the current obstacle. If you're the type that prefers more casual, play leisurely without much thought, then skip this game. Although I would definitely recommend for everyone to try the demo at least.
I recommend this game!

The game is definitely challenging as you level. I had to replay several levels (frustratingly yet determined) in order to get the expert level. If you like a game that's fast paced, yet challenging, this is one to get for your collections.
If you prefer a game that's a little slower paced, skip it. There's no option for relax mode.
One disappointing aspect is that you will never get enough money to buy all the upgrades. Buying all the upgrades is the fun part to me and a challenging goal. Not being able to obtain that part seemed pointless why upgrades would be even offered.
I recommend this game!

I bought this game originally for my sister to play but dreaded to play it myself for a long time since I tend to shy away from scary/horror HOGs. Surprisingly, I found this game to be engrossing, with a good storyline and just enough level of difficulty. I can't remember how long it took me to finish the game but do remember it was a good amount of time, 5+ hours. I just wished I bought the CE version. Definitely a steal at $2.99.
I recommend this game!
