This is a very basic hidden object puzzle. There is almost no challenge to finding the objects. The in-between scene puzzles were all super easy. The music seems excessively loud, and there is a weird crinkling sound that is super annoying that pops up in some of the scenes.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a standard marble popper game. Fun if you like them. I found it to be a bit buggy though. There is a cursor that points to where to shoot on the relaxed level (which makes it less of a challenge), but I found my mouse disconnected from it frequently so when I tried to move it, it just froze in one place for a couple of seconds which in this kind of game can make all the difference. There was no storyline.
I don't recommend this game.

This game is not very friendly and very amateurish. When you click to enlarge screen, you can't manipulate the image to scan. You have to go where it takes you. One of the reasons I like the Vacation series is that the object placements make sense. In this game, the objects are just placed willy-nilly on screen, and they are super large. Turned off game after about 1 minute of playing.
I don't recommend this game.

Nothing has changed with these. This started out my favorite jigsaw game. I love the pictures, but...... It is very annoying that when you work in the extra space if you combine pieces they fall out of the space. The whole point of having extra room is to be able to put pieces together off the main board. This is the second one of these puzzles that I have done where every picture is in blue tones when you go to put it together. They look normal on the menu screen. Also, the music hasn't changed from game to game.
I don't recommend this game.

Wow. My experience with this game was totally different than the previous reviewers. I love a good jigsaw puzzle, but I was struggling to read or see most of this game. The icons at the top when you scroll over them to see what they were had a font that was so small as to be unreadable. If you clicked the magnifier, it did not enlarge the font. The puzzle I tried was the starry night one, with the number of puzzle pieces set around 184, and the puzzle pieces blended into the background so well the only way to see them was to scroll over them even with the brightness adjusted. It was difficult to get the screen to scroll up and down when the magnifier was on, and most of the pieces were off the screen. The game kept hanging up when I connected several pieces and then tried to move them. I had to exit the game several times to be able to manipulate the pieces. I finally gave up. On a positive note,the graphics were gorgeous.
I don't recommend this game.

This game involved NO thought. It leads you from one thing to the next. I would only recommend to a person who likes simple HO puzzles. No levels of play and you just travel from sparkle to sparkle. Don't waste your time.
I don't recommend this game.

Based on sample only. The graphics were gorgeous and the story line as well as characters were entertaining. The cut scenes seem to take a long time to load and leave. This game is very linear which I am not a huge fan of. In order to move on you must complete certain tasks in a certain order. The challenges were not overly challenging, but it was entertaining. I love all the different animal interactions.
I recommend this game!

This game caught my attention because it was different from a lot of the other HOs out there. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, but there were some things that I did not care for. There is ALOT of cut scenes and dialogue which does move the story along and make it interesting, but it is kind of like reading a book. There are some points in the game where it is unclear what to do next and you have to click around to figure it out. The puzzles are moderately challenging, and the game is a good length. One of my pet peeves is that you return to the same HOs several times. I bought this on "sale" and was not disappointed.
I recommend this game!

Based on the trial only, The graphics were excellent as well as the voice overs. The storyline is well developed, but it is a story driven game with lots of cut scenes with dialog. The mini games are basic and easily solved. It does have a nice mix of games and HOs.
I recommend this game!

This game plays great for the free demo, but as you get further into the game it was like the designers got tired. HO scenes are recycled and in areas you wouldn't necessarily revisit, and there was no logic to where you had to go to continue. There was a lot of back and forth traveling between scenes towards the end. Scenes were interesting and graphics were good though.
I recommend this game!
