I love that I can make the cards super big in this game. It's so easy on my older eyes. Lets the relaxing game be much more relaxing. Then I got to an extras game to win my prize and my solitare cards are so tiny I can barely see them to ply. I've pretty much skipped all those but have played the other games.
The card backs are nice and I love that I can use the collectors edition card back the entire game. I really love that I get to change colors of my stones.
And all the seasons! Yes! There is nothing boring about all the extras in this game. I hope they do this more.
Also, the levels are super huge making this one well worth the money.

This has a ton of glitches, but I'm not going to complain about that. They do make me laugh sometimes when things happen. It doesn't bother my game play so it's no big deal.
Well worth the time to play this collectors edition.
I recommend this game!

This is a repeat of the same game ( 1 and 2). We all know that by now. This will be my last one of these games. I won't buy anymore. It's like paying for a re-run of a TV show. Just making the same game over and over with only minor changes is a waste of my money, and boring to play.
Cons -
* Wands and lightning must recharge. Not available for use immediately after using. If I had of known this, I would not have bought the game. I didn't like it in the Summertime game, and I don't like it here. This alone is a deal breaker for me.
* There is some weird alien thing attached to many of the cards. You have the wait until it gets small and hope you can click on the card before it grows again. irritating.
* Morphine cards. These cards constantly change and while they do run up one way only through the deck, they are never on the card you need. Plus, it takes the whole point away from playing in relaxed mode if I have to hurry and click on this card before it changes again. I'm here to relax, not stress.
* The previous version with higher prices for items bought, left me not being able to buy all the items before my game ran out. If there isn't enough money to buy what I want, what's the point? This game, the prices are back to normal.
* Same old card sets. New would be nice.

Pros -
* Cost of items are back to normal.
* Music is OK, but honestly, it's old after 3 versions. However it can be turned off.
* Match 2 is a nice change.
* Quest jokers are nice. Lets you get out of any game you want when trying to win the virtual fish. I have issues with many of the solitaire games, and this lets me get off without the frustration.
* You can click on the collectors extras and change to the card sets there as soon as you start playing. I don't know if this is a glitch or intended, but it lets you play with the 'fancier' cards the whole time.
-----------------------------------
- If you don't play each and every one of the challenge levels, all of them, in all kinds, you can't play the ones in the collectors edition. So, when you want to skip those, you will be screwed when you want to play these later! Just a FYI here, because you will have to go back and play all versions of the challenge levels in order to get the collector's editions ones. There are a TON of these, so you will be back playing catch up forever if you didn't bother to finish them earlier.

I'll be looking for another game to play from now on if I buy any other card games. I believe I have reached my boredom level on these and it's just time for me to move on.
I don't recommend this game.

First, let me say I agree with others about the recharge on the wands. If I pay for them I should be able to use them. I absolutely hate waiting for the to recharge. As petty as this sounds, this would prevent me from buying the newer games. This is a frustrating development in the game. Why buy it if I can't use it?
Not real thrilled with the birds, butterflies and the music on this game. Not game enders, but they are just meh. I do love the summer colors, though.
I don't mind paying more for my stuff, so no big deal. I never buy all there is for sale anyway. I never buy wild cards or jokers. I just don't use them. I stick to the extra cash, cards, undo, and wands. I tried the shuffle once, and it was OK, but didn't really benefit me.
The card counter is free in this game. I've never understood that anyway, but I'm sure others might like it. I always play in relaxed mode. If I get two stars somewhere and feel like it, I just go back later once I've bought the good stuff and replay. However, since the wands need recharged, that makes it not worth going back for three stars. And, it's not like I get anything except a trophy anyway!
I love that they brought the flower cards back. They are always my favorite. There are a couple new card back choices in this game which is nice.
When playing a challenge or supersize game now, and you finish, you don't get kicked out. The menu stays open so you can play more. Minor, but a big plus. In the Atlantis 2, you have to constantly reopen those levels to pay another game.
In the Quest games, there are now jokers you can use to buy your way out of something you don't want to play, I'm not sure how I feel about this. I spent FOREVER in Atlantis 2 playing a couple games to earn my fish, and only gave up on one. Half the fun here is finally beating all the levels to get that extra guy hanging around in your 'home' area.
While I do play a few mahjong games to earn my trophy, I never play the solitaire games.I do play the solitaire during the new quest games though.
I love the extra cards falling out in the games. Every extra one helps.
It's still a good game worth buying, if you don't care about the wands needing to recharge.
I recommend this game!

I wish I would have bought the collector's edition. Normally I do, but skipped that this time. I may just have to go back and grab that version too. I always play in relaxed mode. I'm here to enjoy, not stress out.
Best of of these games yet. Tons of colorful fish. Castles are not bland and colorless, but full of bright colors.
Prices are higher on shop items this time, but since I always buy more gold first, I get there quicker.
Gaming is a little easier this time. Slightly easier to get a perfect than the last version of this. Maybe they took the complaints of the last version of this to heart. This also has both mahjong and solitaire bonus games, This version also has supersize levels and challenge levels. I won't say what all of this is because you have to buy to enjoy it, but it's super fun additions that have brought these games to a whole new level of fun. No more being ho-hum and almost falling asleep while playing.
Also, during some hands, all of the sudden you get a drop of extra cards. Wow! Yet another fun new addition. Plus, you get to earn new fish, and you can control the colors or which fish you have swimming around. I love tons of bright colors so I let them all swim. They do swim by pretty fast when you get a perfect, but not a big deal.
You have to get this game, either regular or collectors if you like this developer. You won't be unhappy at all.
One hundred stars to the developers for this version!

I've had issues with the previous versions of these games. For me, they finally got it right with this one.
Yes, the trophys are all still the same, and the things you buy are still the same. But, the Atlantis ocean set up is perfect. Love the fish that swim when you get a perfect game. They finally dumped the same stars that they had in most of the other games.
The card sets for the basic game provide a nice variety. I change sets a lot, especially when I find myself messing up too often. Switching cards changes the game and waked me up out of that trance so I pay attention to what I am doing again.
Underwater scenes and castles are colorful and the graphics great. The other games all looked alike, and made it boring.
And, there is mahjong AND solitaire bonus games.Finally something besides solitaire. I'm not too sure about the music, because I always turn that off.
The only thing that would make this game complete perfection is the option to turn off castle building after you have played the entire game and go back to play it again. Replay should have the option to build on the next time around or turn it off. I usually play the games a bunch of times through.
Great job with this one, developers!
I recommend this game!

Visual in this game is great. Lots of nice scenery and color, but I just couldn't finish the game. I thought it was boring from the start.
It's a long game, and I tried really hard, and then wondered why I was trying ot play a game I didn't like.
Nice visual.
Amazing map to jump from one area to another.
Just not for me.

This is probably one of the stargest games I have found in a long time. Right up my alley. No same old boring stuff here. Totally amazing!
It took me a while to figure out what was going on, but once I figured it out, I was impressed. Don't get frustrated. Stick it out and play.
This game makes me it came straight from an acid trip in the 60 and just got brought to life!
Great color and graphics, odd details unlike anything I've seen.
A fun, excellent game for a change of pace.

This is for little kids only. A very basic hidden object game. No plot. no story line, nothing buy finding hidden object that are barely hidden.
This is so old school, like when these games first came out. Boring, way to easy, and a waste of time.
I don't recommend this game.
Springfield has never been spookier! See the Costume Parade, Ghostly Museum, Dracula's Castle and Haunted Hotel in this superb Halloween adventure.

This is the worst game ever. It should be listed as a kids game. There is no plot. It's just a bunch of hokey farm style Old McDonald music and nothing but old school hidden object.
I can't believe this was in the Adventure Game section.
I have no idea how the reviews got to be so good, unless kids are reviewing. Super boring and I quit and trashed the game within minutes. Glad I got it for half price. Try this before buying so you aren't disappointed.
I don't recommend this game.

I liked this game OK. I'm not sure why it has such bad reviews at this point.It has nothing to do with 80's slasher movies. If you don't like horror stuff, then don't buy this game!
It's not the longest game, but I still played a few hours a day over 4 days, and that's about normal on casual mode.
I love the games with multiple short stories in them. It gives the games a little more variety. The morphing map is excellent. Lets you go where you need to. If a game doesn't have a great morph map, it's almost pointless. Too much walking around trying to remember where to go is rough.
Characters are a little old school, but the graphics are good, and it was entertaining.
I recommend this game!
