I enjoy this series, and reload the older games to play each holiday season. This game has fairly good graphics, but individual items are often difficult to see. It has the best of several versions. I do wish there was an option to not keep score and just play the game for fun.
Pros:
- music much improved, especially the vocals. I had to turn the music off on previous versions
- several things to look for in each scene
- challenging due to the density of items

Cons:

This was a disappointing game. It was not interesting, there was too much written conversation - just talk, and the graphics were not clear. I quit after less than 15 minutes.
I don't recommend this game.

I enjoy holiday-themed games, but this was the worst I have played. Very juvenile, little challenge, the "in between" games were a repeat of previous games, and there was no story. I have enjoyed some of their games in the past, but definitely not this one.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a disappointment for Azada fans. The focus on books and their stories was missing from this game.
Positive: good graphics, some new puzzles

Great graphics and storyline. However, things don't work and the hint button is useless. Too many good games available to waste your time on this one.
I don't recommend this game.

The storyline has interest. The background is dark, making it difficult to see items, and the graphics are not of high quality. The game play is plodding. Many question marks that name items, but there is no apparent reason for them. I let after 13 minutes.
I don't recommend this game.

The storyline was interesting for the first 15 minutes, then became repetitive. Good graphics and colorful. There is not much to the storyline. Not the quality of previous games in the Phantasmat series.
I don't recommend this game.

The pictures are visually interesting and there is some level of difficulty in finding objects. But there is nothing new. I would buy this if there was nothing else interesting available. However, there are many other recent games more interesting and challenging. I won't buy this.

I had expected a little more challenge than the game provides. The graphics are ok, but the music is monotonous. There is little movement in the game, partially because things are found just as they are needed (and in the order needed). Quite a few HOGs; little variation.
I don't recommend this game.
