Very seldom do I eat crow, the feathers tend to be annoying, but here it is....this game is actually a GEM. VERY hard to slog through at first, but then once you discover a certain item, and actually get to the first REAL HOG scene....you are bored to tears, then all of a sudden when you get to these magical and gorgeous scenes, does everything suddenly get better. Is this game for everyone? NO. YOU have to try it out yourself and hopefully get to those lovely little scenes before the game demo times out, it timed out just into the second HOG scene and now I am hooked and willling to buy this game when I can. Trust me, just like Beauty and the Beast you gotta get beyond appearances and find the magic within, it's worth it. The music once you get to these lovely and definaltey different scenes is magical and whimsical. If you have a love of hidden treasures in your games, this is it....try, try, try it!
I can only say bravo.....I went into a magic trick expecting one thing and just about died from shock getting another. My heart......is probably gonna need some rescusitation here darn quick. Okay, that being said, I love this game and it's sudden surprises. I love the achievements, the storyline, the overall use of magic tricks (you'd be surprised how many games talk about something without ever using that particular theme.# I found this game a nice surprise. The hidden objects are not too hard for me to find, the music and the sound effects are just right. The screen fills mine with no black bars. All in all a great game. The strategy guide is good. The only complaint I have is I wanted this to be a CE. I LOVE the wallpapers, and a really cool bonus could have been a nice set of magic tricks you can do. Or something along those lines. But I digress. This game is paced just right, with wonderful videos that are well done. I like the mini games, and while I am going for the achievements, normally I just tolerate most mini games. These are actual different from usual and there are something I can do. #I am not stupid, just impatient....and a lot of times mini games just don't have very good instructions, and by the time I get it figured out, I have long since lost interest. These are good and different. And they continue the mystery aspect of the game. (Not like some games where it just feels like they took the tried and true so they could fluff it out.) I highly reccommend...you try it for yourself and see if it's your cup of tea. I am off to finish this game!!!

This is a nice light fragmented object game. VERY easy on the eyes, with a great soundtrack. I mean relaxing...what makes this game fun is that if you just randomly click, you make drum beat sounds....I never saw a misclick penalty, but the drumbeats sound when you click around...so if you play your cards right you can make music...WHILE picking up the fragments or doing the hidden object scenes. This game is just fun. Very light, bright. NO dark and eery storyline. Just a woman trying to find her missing father and some treasure. The scenery is gorgeous, the hidden object scenes are few and far between, NO junkpiles..not really. It's really just fun. Now it is kinda easy. But I skipped the mini games, because I simply don't have a lot of patience to figure stuff out on that stuff....but I would say it's easy, to mid range on the hardness...so if your looking for a nice light frog (fragmented object game) with some storyline, and some easy on the eyes scenery. This game is GREAT!! I loved it and found it relaxing. The music is Soooothing....although no voiceovers....but still a fun relaxing game.
Now I think I have used up my quota of the words relaxing, bright and fun...try it out and see.
I have to say I found this game fun....I bought it with my credit the minute the hour was up. I had to say the prior reviews gave me pause....not really sure how it would be, but I found it fun.....okay...disclaimer...there will be a lot of reading at the start...I like reading. So I enjoyed that part. The one liners to me were funny....okay they were cheesy, but I must say I enjoyed the humor of them....
One particular line comes to mind...
"I'm the tooth fairy come to loosen your teeth"
Okay...I may have a wierd sense of humor but I thought it was funny as well as some of the other's..certainly try the hour if your not sure. As to the battle sequences, I found them to be nice, with the usual ability to pick which attacks to use. Some were slightly tougher than other's so the attack's came in handy. The monster's were nice. I HATE the invisible monster's that some RPG games have, so I didn't mind the tornado like monster's barreling down the paths towards me. To be fair i could avoid a few but in order to power up I had to fight a lot. I didn't mind that part as it comes with the territory of an RPG. Overall I liked the game and the story. There are lots of chests to open, and it's fun talking to people in the game as quite a few of them had something funny to say. I may be easily amused. SO JUST TRY it and decided for yourself.
I thought the music was fine, but i had to turn it off due to trying not to disturb others, and while the music went away the battle sounds didn't. Not a deal breaker, but if I hit turn of music and that's the only sound volume I do expect it to turn of ALL the sounds. I minimized it since I can only work on part of my computer and it took it down to a four in square box that was rather small but I could still play on. Full screen is fine, but I couldn't use it because my computer screen is broken.
I think it's fine as a nice soothing RPG....Not too overcomplicated. Just fun!

Literally. I mean this is a great puzzle game, and it has soothing music, and an interesting plot that isn't too wordy, plenty of puzzles if your not into the whole storyline, but if you like story it is there....tried to get further in, but i am already get overwhelmed...a REAL thinker game. so if you like puzzle challenges this game is totally for you. Move marbles with arrows around until they are in the prescribed pattern. This is a real brain tease. But unfortunately I don't have the patience and the skill for it. Definately try before you buy, but this is one of those ones that is a sleeper hit! I find the graphics, the music, and the overall gameplay good and just can't think of a downside...you know other than ....me...But just try the whole hour, because the puzzles start out easy, but rapidly get harder....
I have played this game through several times. Never gotten all the trophies, but tried a lot. There are six levels and though it seems short, there is a lot of perfecting here! Great graphic, appropriate music. This is a fun little game for short or long periods of time! You get to bowl.....ZOMBIES! Hard day at work?Bust some zombie limbs to heck! Trouble with family? Knock those smirking little zombies back to where they came from! Wonderful unsung game gem alert...I highly recommend!
