The hidden objects are what I liked the most. I loved finding all the dogs and the Bell hop was pretty. The best hop in the bonus was the last one with the Christmas tree. I really enjoyed the morphs in the hops. 16 hops in the main game and 3 in the bonus =19 hops and morphs for CE and replayable. They didn't list the morphs in the guide.
The mini-games were hit and miss with me. I did 20 out of 34. The game play was so-so. I would think why am I doing this or why would I look here? It's like no reason for this or that. I guess that's just game logic.
I did the Jigsaw puzzle after I finished the bonus. It was blank until I finished the bonus.
I would buy the game just for the hops and morphs but not for game play. I won't replay this game. But I will replay the Hops.
No Map. Very Long wait for hints and skips. Starting on chapter 2 the hints said all the way to the end of the main chapter " Put the key into the snowmobile control panel." So it was No help. I followed the guide quite a bit. The puzzles were hit and miss. Nice amount of hidden objects with lists. 15 in main game and 6 in the bonus chapter.
I was hooked from the trial. I wanted to see more and play it. CE goodies are 13 Hops, 20 Puzzles, 4 music tracks, 13 concept art, 5 screen savers and 5 wallpapers. No Morphs.
Not every place is so dreary. I enjoyed the amusement park and the mall the most. Loved the shooting range and pin ball machine.
Had to keep the music and effects volume, low or off. I can't take these sounds long.
You wouldn't believe what it costs to make a phone call.
13 Video, replay 16 Hops and 24 mini-games, 10 wallpapers, 12 concept art, Souvenir Room and Match 3 game. I lost interest after the mall but finished any way. Liked the game. I thought it was a little hard to figure out.
They list hops at 34. I counted 23 in the main game and 9 in the Bonus game. I must of miscounted by two. The CE has 15 Mahjong to play. Collect 40 Hummingbirds and 40 Morphs. Nine Chapters + Bonus Game.
Does South America have snow drops? Because I saw some. My favorite puzzle in the bonus was memory matching. The grossest thing was using a swab for a ear. Other wise a Bright, not gloomy game.
10 hops in main game and 5 in the Bonus. I really like this game. It was a smooth back and forth with tricky morphs. You look for a morph and then you see a clock turn into a different clock. The whole time you know there is a clock but if you didn't see it change, you won't know it because it's still a clock.
Lots of Emblems to collect and Paintings too. The Paintings have comments on them when you hoover over them. I liked the story to the Bonus Game more than the main game. In the Bonus Game your at the Magic Academy formed by top wizards. It reveals some secrets.
Archives has 15 mini-games and 15 hops to replay. The Secret Room has morph items to collect and you can't collect them until they are morphed into the thing you need to collect. They have 4 Dolls, 8 Clown Masks, 12 Skulls, 20 Magic Balls, 16 School Bags and A White Lady.
8 Concept Art, 8 Wallpapers, 5 Music Tracks and One Screensaver.
14 Hops. 11 in the main game and 3 in the bonus. That isn't very many for a hidden object game. I Don't like pairs behind items in hops and not crazy about finding the item from a story, but I don't mind the story. I don't like limited sight hops either. I love having a art filled page to find things from a list. Which this did have.
I had a good time playing this game except the above complaints. I drove a dog sled. Played bells. Tried to catch a Lion cub and boy is he fast. Sailed a raft to a mermaid. Filled bottles with blue and green spheres. In the Bonus, I rolled a ball around in a maze which I really liked.
I collected flowers to buy stuff to fix up things in the bonus room and I really wanted that sofa cover. I thought I got every flower but I didn't have nearly enough to finish my room.
Collected 13 Statuettes of the Characters which has little comments. 5 chapters + Bonus game. The Bonus is about Evan the Stranger. He has a life outside of the game and the evil goddess is back. Good Bonus but short.
Achievements are large chess pieces. 10 wallpapers, 10 concept art, 5 music tracks and a screensaver.
I Loved all the new Hops. They were Beautiful and hard. Maybe too hard. 15 in the main game and 4 in the bonus. The morphs are in the hops, so 19 morphs. Some morphs were hard for me to find. A hop in the bonus had animals and you had to match up a picture of fur, shell or eyes etc. texture. A main hop you had to find things with a kaleidoscope back ground. I didn't like the pairs hidden behind items.
You find 33 Runes and if you collect all of them in the end you get the ultimate hop. I really enjoyed playing a matching game against a person and I can play it again and again because it's a bonus memory game.
I Loved the paint by number and matching bugs in the main game and the stain glass window puzzle in the bonus.
This game is beautiful and very detailed. There was a game I Loved with art deco pictures and sadly it ended. Well, this comes close with details. There is a Antique shop with a parrot filled area I really Loved. The bonus has a very realistic chandelier and in the room also pink Iris. I also like the whimsy toy soldier like nutcracker and matching key. The Russian nestling dolls.
4 Chapters + Bonus, 11 Soundtracks, Achievements, 8 Wallpapers, 8 Character Gallery, 7 Concept Art with a sliding ruler that shows before and after. 19 Replay able Hops. 19 morphs, Replay able Memory Game, Collect all 33 Runes and you have the Ultimate Hop. * The 8 Character Gallery is only 8 pictures and no comments.
Since there are No replay mini-games except the memory game I think this is geared more for Hops players and not puzzle Lovers. It is a Hidden Object Puzzle game after all.
Louis the Clown and Mr. Dudley are back in an all-new adventure! Travel through the dark corners of history's most famous fairytales to rescue children trapped in a frightening netherworld!
You have to Love hidden objects or you won't like this game. It's a very long, Fun game for Hidden Objects fans. There are puzzles and I had to wait a long time to skip most of them.
The puzzles I like where whack a evil Santa, Find 4 pictures of related items, matching and guide a spider through a maze.
There are 12 Chapters. It's old. I think Dec. 2012. So normal in 2012 is No Map, Wait for Hints and Skips. Lots of back and forth. I have a good scents of direction so I didn't have a problem. I have Windows 10 and I had No tech problems at all. Don't you wish you could say that about all games?
This one was different from the first one. Your in places and you don't know why. But it surprises and delights even if it seem disjointed. You wait forever it seems, to get to the storybook places, then your in a different place. You see a Christmas tree, then desert. It worked for me and I got my money's worth since it's a long game and I had fun. Bought 2 new games and still wanted to play this one.
Fun at the Amusement Park. Everyone is gone but you and your Hops. If you don't like hops, you won't like this. It's old. I think from Oct 2011. The hints take along time. Your hops scene is used more than once. I Loved It. 31 hops, almost one after another. I have Windows 10 system and I had no problems. I liked the shooting range also. Skipped all puzzles were you had to fool and fool with it some more. You also have to wait a long time to skip. This was normal in 2011.
I counted 35 hidden objects. 29 in the main game and 6 in the bonus. When I read reviews that there were a lot of hogs and I played the trial, I just had to have it. So many that most times there is one right after you finish one. I like sitting and looking at beautiful art filled page and click item from the list. It's relaxing. They use the same hop location more than once.
I also enjoyed the puzzles. Not a lot of those but they were fun. Some examples are a Octopus that plays instruments and you have to copy what he does. Pick 3 pictures that relate to each other. Portrait puzzle, matching.
I also found the bonus chapter fun. Puzzles-ball in a maze. Click on symbols before they change.
This game is from 2012 I think. They did things different then. Long wait on hints and skips. The hint won't lead you around. No Map. Not a lot of extras but they have a very good and detailed Strategy Guide that includes locations of Hops. 4 music tracks, 7 wallpapers, 3 screensavers and 13 concept art. No replay of hops or puzzles.
It worked fine on my system Windows 10- no problems. 7 Chapters + Bonus Chapter.
I don't think you will like it at all if you don't like Hidden Object Puzzles.
