Tho I'm not that great at solitaire but tried it for a change. I like the graphics, don't consider the music to be intrusive and definitely a challenge; had to replay a scene more than once but that's what makes it fun so plan on buying more solitaire games.
(BTW - anyone notice a resemblance to Lord of the Rings)? :)
I recommend this game!

I actually enjoyed the game. Granted the designers' names for objects are a tad different than our's (whirlygig for some of us is a pinwheel, to them a spinning top, and the like) but it was not that bad at all to play so I don't see any issues with it.
Only complaint was having to maneuver around a bit to get the cursor so change to down to go to another scene but a minor issue.

I love these Incredible Dracula games and this does not disappoint. Seems a bit more complicated than the others but the strategy guide is very helpful. This is such a refreshing change from gloomy games and hope they come out with a IV!.
I recommend this game!

Turns out this is the original Lost Island (which I own and dislike mainly due to the difficulty figuring it out) turned into a Mahjong game.
Complete waste of a game credit.
I don't recommend this game.

Would probably have enjoyed it more if the food items were better designed in both clarity and color - they pretty much looked the same making it hard to speed along at times. Music was rather annoying.
I don't recommend this game.

The problem with these type of games is they all follow the same formula: Having to rescue someone in danger, bouncing back and forth between screens looking for or applying objects out of the inventory, same-O, same-O. I enjoy hidden object scenes which there were a good many of but for the most part that was the majority of the game. Will give it a recommend for that but otherwise not much new.
I recommend this game!

A nice game when you need some relaxation and no "brain drain." The usual one up, one down solitaire with very easy mini games (the chocolate gets a bit old - entirely too easy). Music not too bad; only complaint is the tuba when you mess up and have to start the level again; sounds like a whoopee cushion.
Think this is more in line with older kids but still a nice change for adults.
I recommend this game!

Have been waiting for another one in this series and am definitely not disappointed. It follows the same game play as the other jewel matches with a few variations (having to get the butterfly in the bonus levels and love the ladybug which is a great addition). Finally a new game that isn't doom, gloom and hideous faces just a fun and relaxing game with lovely grounds and castles. Plan on hours of fun with this one.
I recommend this game!
Enjoy Pinecreek Hills at its best! Have a sensational summer vacation helping the Rangers run the park in its centennial year.

I usually gave an average rating on the other four since I never enjoyed the mini games and some of the HOG were miserable. Love this one. I actually am enjoying the mini games, the hidden objects were a challenge at times but not impossible and loved the sound effects especially the wind blowing and the frogs. Hope they come out with a sixth in the series.
I recommend this game!

At least so far - haven't finished the entire game - but am finding this a lot easier than the previous Labours of Hercules games or maybe I'm just used to them. I like the graphics and finding the pearls and FINALLY figured out to click on the pot to find the hidden objects.
This is a very relaxing game which I need now and again.
I recommend this game!
