Storyline fairly basic - defeat the bad guy and find the parts of the regalia.
Music Ok.
Visually very cartoon-like.
HOS - nicely painted,some scenes are quite cluttered(e.g. grocery store), a long list of objects to find.
Mini-game puzzles few and far between (fairly easy to completed).
Hints consist of a dog barking loudly when the cursor nears the object you are looking for.
I didn't find this a challenging or interesting game (quite boring actually).

Kids might like it - recommended for children only.

This is a platform game similar to Supercow and Turtle Odyssey but nowhere near as good.
Visually looks good and the background music is OK.
Basic storyline - find amulet parts, rescue sister, build retirement home on the island.

Negative Aspects:
At time difficult to control with your mouse.
Annoying babble of the penguin (giving instructions) and your cheerleader.
Some levels very difficult to complete all aspects (fish difficult to "kill") or you lose a lot of lives trying.

if you are going to buy one of this type of game Supercow or Turtle Odyssey far better value,
I don't recommend this game.

Interesting storyline, told by Merlin, of how King Arthur came to be.
This HOG/Puzzle game is not hard, challenging with some of the smaller items.
The graphics are beautiful and you go from place to place on an ancient map.
The music is soft and not annoying as a background.
For the challenging HOG scenes use your spells (hints by another name).
The hint system is an interesting part of the game - you earn hints & recharge them by collecting the different types of runes as per the rune menu.
Merlin does speak slowly and softly but I didn't find it annoying.
His instructions are clear and precise.
Puzzles so far are rather simple, but interesting.
The most challenging puzzle is the squirrel one - you have to be very quick or just wait over the hole until the squirrel cycles round.

I liked this game and it is worth buying at $3.

Storyline fairly basic - find the fragments of the magic stone, reassemble, give to the king, marry the princess.
Visually OK - rather cartoon-like.
HOS varied by use of associations ( bow + arrow) or find the parts of an item (fairly easy).
Too much back and forth looking for items.
Mini-games basically jigsaw puzzles or clear the path type(not challenging).
The most enjoyable part of the short 30 min. demo was firing Munchausen from the cannon.

Munchausen extremely annoying - voice grating and sarcastic.
Hard to judge what the rest of the game is like from the 30 min demo but this game is not very challenging and a little boring.
I don't recommend this game.
Prepare to be dazzled by all 100 of the layouts in this unique 3D twist on the classic brick-breaking game style.

Not a patch on Smash Frenzy 3 but at least there were no software bugs.
Music OK.
Graphics very Lego-like.
Only start off with 2 lives and additional ones are few and far between.
No storyline to speak of just use the boucing ball to smash everything in site.
Limited number of powerups.

This game had the potential to be much better than it was.
Graphics colourful, instructions clear and detailed.
No annoying music.
Storyline basic - match 3 of the specified type of fruit (to plant a garden) and don't let the bugs get them.

Fairly straightforward match 3 varieties - chains, complex layouts etc.
Earn powerups through matching the specified number of different types of fruit.
Earn powerups through matching the specified number of different types of fruit.
The big downer is the implementation of the match cascading. As a previous reviewer stated you have to wait for all the matches to complete cascading before your next move. A real problem in timed mode or for eliminating the bugs before they get the fruit.
Fun for an hour but I wouldn't buy this one.
I don't recommend this game.

Stunning graphics, sound excellent.
Suggested you watch in the dark with the sound on (makes it creepier ). I also had a raging electrical storm going on outside as I played in the dark - AWESOME.

Enthralling game that is beautifully presented.
VO text added to the suspense (creepy bad guy with his comments in the background).
HOS uncluttered with objects not difficult to find.
There were only a couple of mini-games during the one hour period - fuse puzzle, portrait puzzle and light the candelabra (all relatively easy).
The rest of the game consisted of finding objects to use later and missing parts of objects and then assembling them.

Unlimited hints and the hint button recharged very quickly.
The journal keeps track of your objectives and the newspaper clippings you collect along the way.
Consult your journal regularly.

What an awful game (basically skittles with pengus).
Storyline is that you shoot pengus out of a catapult to vanquish the fish beasties - really.
Graphics are basic cartoon type.
You have no visibility of the "beasties" you are shooting at so you have to wing it.

I played thirty levels (yes I persisted hoping it would get better) of basically the same thing with only slightly different "skittle" configurations.
A boring awful game.
I don't recommend this game.

A very disappointing game.
Music annoyingly loud and repetitive.

Negative aspects:
You need to build a fan base from bonus rounds which are few and far between.
No autoplay - so constantly clicking (500 and 1500 spin awards as an offset I guess).

There are far better slot games than this one that offer more of a story line and better bonus round facilities.
If you want to buy a slot game this is not the one.
I don't recommend this game.

I agree with the first reviewer.
I usually don't like these sort of games as you tend to get bored easily.
But this one has a really good twist to it.
The music needs to be turned down but the graphics are quite good,
I Liked World2 the best - here you keep the ball bouncing off of camels, penguins, reindeer and other sorts of animals.
It can become quite frenetic with triple triple balls going at once (I didn't get twenty but about 9 going simultaneously).
The best items to pick up are the bazooka and machine gun.
