I loved the previous game and have replayed it many times. This is different in several ways. As the previous reviewer said, the card decks decrease in size and I had to replay many of the early games multiple times without being able to waste the last card. The "straw that broke the camel's back" was not being able to use a flowered card when I uncovered it. Another card would appear and I was unable to use the card I had just uncovered. It was not like that in the previous game. I love a challenge, but one that makes sense.
This is a fast moving game that is not very challenging but has an interesting story line. The graphics are good and it is usually easy to see items. The big issues are misspelled words and item names used in Europe and not the US. It makes it difficult to know what one is looking for. The mini games are varied and interesting.
I had the same problem as others. The game froze after the first scene, no matter what option, and starting over did not change the outcome. It might have been a good game...
This is based on the trial. The storyline is ok, but the puzzles are similar to those in the past and the movement is slow. I was also irritated by a click penalty that could not be turned off. It is difficult to see items in some scenes, thus the extra clicking. I won't buy this game.
This is based on the trial. Almost every game had issues, such as not responding to clicks. I had to just let the game solve puzzles so I could move on. Not well constructed.
I could not find all the pups, even using the magnifying glass, in a number of scenes. Based on the trial, I will not buy the game. I would also like to see more variety of games inbetween scenes.
This review is based on the trial period. Pretty much the same scenes as the last game but critters are different. The puzzle games are not fun or interesting; they are the same types as in the past. Different scenes and items to find, and especially different between games, would make future games more interesting.
I don't recommend this game.

This is based on about 20 minutes of game play. The game is a repetition of similar games with little new or interesting, especially ithe puzzles between locations. Either change the game, add new and interesting puzzles, or end the series.
This is based on playing the demo. As others have noted, the game is similar to several past games. The dialogue was not proofread and the games are the same. Do we need two knives (did not keep the first one), a wheel for a wheelbarrow, and to fead a cat (or other animal) each time? New games are needed! Not challenging or interesting.
