I saw this beautiful wood at the beginning of the game. Thought I would really like to explore this. I was faced with 6 doors to unlock, playing various match 3 games to unlock them. This in turn unlocked the bolts of the main gate. I did that and found myself in a pleasant room. Thought he would open the door into a beautiful woodland, but no. The experiment was just opening door after door. The music was repetitive a woman singing the same word over again and again. I noticed there is a second one in the series. However, I am not sure I will buy it. Yes Sophie lost her memory and it came back at the end. If I buy the second one in this series will it be any better. Maybe a credit, certainly not paying money for it.
I don't recommend this game.
My Brother Rabbit is a beautifully drawn adventure set in a surreal world that mixes reality with a child’s imagination

I looked at other reviews and just 15 minutes into the game or so knew I had to spend two of my credits on it. It reminds me of "Tiny Bang Story", which also had a lot of strange objects and puzzles to work out. However, I think I like this world more. All I know is that My Brother Rabbit is trying to help his little Flower Friend to get better. I like the fact that you have to work things out for yourself and not be spoon fed. You do have to go back and forwards into the various rooms to get the objects you need. At the moment I have to kill off lots of strange purple berries, with a rainbow of water. This is the first review I have done in years. Even if the story does make me cry, (it hasn't so far). The world of imagination that the children have created is bright and beautiful. I have decided like another reviewer that I am tired of the dark games, where horror lurks around each corner and skeletons are in all the cupboards. So give this game a go. You are given 90 minutes of play which I like for Collector's Editions, and is generous of the Big Fish company. One reason why I have stayed a member for so long is the try before you buy, plus all the fantastic deals they do when you are a member. Let us have more games of this caliber.
I recommend this game!

I had the two earlier games and when this one came up in a pop up i thought I would buy it without testing it out first. I got it with a free coupon code. Again you have Poseidon Park with its huge vista showing all the different rides. However this time instead of rebuilding it all from scratch, as it were. The castle instead has collapsed. The great thing about this game is not only all the different playing areas it is the massive choice in decorations as well. As I had enjoyed the previous two games so much it was a no brainer. I have only played a bit so far. The hardest game I have so far is the one with the four elements.

This game is far better than the first one. There are tricky jigsaw pieces to find, which you can skip or use the question mark hint. A Match 3 in candies and card game of the one up one down variety. I think however, they could certainly improve on the match 3, only one sort of candy gives you a bonus. Also every now and again you get a question to answer which sometimes gives you a battle against these candy loving Zombies or some extra money or you can lose cards or cash. Once you know which answer to do though it loses some of its appeal. The money is spent on getting additional playing cards. Or Zombie defeating cards. Sometimes a sticker comes up which you collect and once they have all been collected you get extra cash. I did enjoy it and look forward to the next one. It certainly was a vast improvement of the first Zombies game. However there is plenty more room for development. Also I did like the fact that the trickier zombie zapping candy rounds you could win on a bye and thus carry on in the game. I loved the fact there were 100 levels as well. All in all a fun game to play.
I recommend this game!

I bought this with a free credit, I usually like these one up one down card games, however the challenges were really bad, it was on the whole very easy to remove all the cards from the tableau. I hoped when I finished building the last part of the village and built a bridge a whole new area would open up. The good thing about this game was the backgrounds, usually pictures of the village, and the music was pleasant. Occasionally the odd monster had to be fought off with an amulet which was powered by rubies found under the cards. Also Gold to build the various structures and wild cards were under the cards as well. There were helpful powerups, I did like the sword especially when I could cut away two cards very useful to use at the end of a round also seeing what the next card was going to be. So my fellow fishies, try as usual before you buy, and I think if you have children it is a good enough game for them, as you complete the whole thing in a few days.
I don't recommend this game.

I have played the original version of Emerland Solitaire and enjoyed it. I have only played this one as far as using up my hearts, so I haven't uncovered much of the story line so far. I did notice that one heart is given back each hour, so you don't have to fork out money to buy extra only if you wish to carry on at that particular moment, If you play late at night like I do sometimes, then by the morning the hearts will be renewed. I shan't play this game a lot anyway, as I prefer Awakening Kingdoms more.
I recommend this game!

I have played the first one of this I hope to be a series of fun card games. This one is superior to the first one where there was a Wheel of Fortune which got a bit tedious to spin. The game is the usual higher or lower cards ie Ace on King, Queen on Jack. The only drawback is that you cannot scan the next card coming which is possible in some of these games. The best thing is the quirky and fun characters and prepare yourself for some groaners as the witty and talkative Detective Max Stone explores the underground criminal network who are plotting to bring the Town of Evergreen Height's under their Jurisdiction.
The music here is lively and not at all irritating as it changes from time to time as you explore Evergreen Heights on your quest to find the criminal gang. Another bonus is that you only have to play three games before you can skip, but I think this is only in the normal setting. There is a difficult setting which I haven't done yet where I think you won't be able to.
Also if you have had enough of the story there is a challenge game where you have to collect diamonds and money and do so many runs of cards ie five or more in a row. All in all a great game, and as I got it for free all the better.

I bought this game with a free credit. It's certainly not worth buying otherwise. However, I did enjoy playing the one hundred and three levels. The basic story line is a guy eats a contaminated Tofu Burger and turns into a brain-eating Zombie and the disease spreads. You and a few others have to excape to Saved Island. At the start of each main level: home, town, factory etc, there is a ludicrously easy mini puzzle. That is you have to go down into the sewers, and surprise! surprise in order to do that you lift up a manhole cover. Then its the one up one down cards. that is a Queen can have a King or a Jack on it. The only obvious drawback is there is no undo button. So proceed carefully.
If you kill all the zombies required you will receive three stars, and if there are more zombies left over than the target three bloody splats are your reward. I didn't know until late into the game that the gold you receive at the end of each level to buy extra-special cards ie ones to turn cards up so that you can defeat the zombie ravens and the weeds can be sold back to the shop. I might have done that when the level doesn't have weeds or ravens. I found the most useful card to buy was "New Deck". I certainly didn't try out all the different card choices in my first full game. There are numbered tombstones as well to help you win. It was fun to play over the Halloween holiday and that's really all I can say about it.
I recommend this game!

I have played just once so far. It could be addictive. The music is amusing. I do like the fun monsters. There isn't enough to do though. Just buying stuff for the island and Feeding them with cookies and cakes (no five a day here) and breeding which I haven't done yet. Seems they need a lot of cookies and cakes to level up. The monsters are fun and not at all frightening. Will appeal to children from the age of 3 and maybe teenagers as well who might like the funky music. I may go back to it now and again to build it up However like all on-line games. It costs moneee! to proceed.
I recommend this game!

I have had this game on my screen for a long time. I had loaded it for the hour Big Fish offers. When I had a free game ticket I bought it. The story is good with a twist at the end. The reason I had this game on the backburner was for these reasons:
Firstly: The timed element was a nightmare. In the end I played the game untimed and got through it. It certainly was more relaxing without a clock going off.
Secondly: The hidden objects were so miniscule and camouflaged at times I had to peer at the screen with my spectacles off - a pair of bifocals. Even my husband who has better sight than I have couldnt find them.
Thirdly: The music after a while it was dreadful. On the train it seemed I could hear a small boy going yeah or all the time. I turned it off when I was there.
Fourthly: I found some of the games too difficult I decided to skip them In my case I couldnt care less if I got twenty minutes or three hours added to the game. It didn't give you any extra awards for doing it in a time limit anyway.
The redeeming features of this game was the storyline. I found it really interesting. I also liked finding the items belonging to each of the five suspects. For the chinese lady a fortune cookie. For the gambler a chip. There were also cigars, telescopes and artist's brushes to find. These would give you extra time in the timed mode or another hint in untimed. I actually didnt find them all so I probably lost out there.
I shall the next time I play go to a help site as I was fascinated by some of the games I skipped. I skipped the last two because I just wanted to finish the game and get it out of the way. In a couple of days I shall tackle the sequel and see if that's any better.
I recommend this game!
