Oh dear, this game was so boring, no story-line to speak of and no challenges at all, I quite like the majority of straight HOG's but they all have mini games in between this had none, I loved the TV show and when I saw this I thought great something to get my teeth into.....wrong! I un-installed after 30 minutes.
I don't recommend this game.

Overall I found this game quite good fun if a bit on the drab side colourwise, I also found the end to be a bit of an anti-climax as the rest of the game was quite mysterious, I think the ending could have been a little more imaginative.

This game is not as good as Gardenscapes, Farmscapes and Mansion Makeover, it would have been good if match 3 had been included to break the monotony a bit or if you could click on a cupboard occasionally to find an item, also in the other games you are given a bit longer (before the money totals reduce) to look for items, I did like the round with the anagrams, perhaps this could have been repeated to make the game a little more interesting, having said all this I like the colourful screens, Joe and Tom and the dog are quite amusing and if you are not in the mood for a more complicated HOG then this fits the bill nicely.
Sorry, I found this one of the most boring and annoying of games, it isn't very responsive to the cursor, I lost count of the times I clicked on something and nothing happened, then the hint tells you to click on the exact same item grrrrrrr! I gave up when taking the key to unlock the lighthouse didn't work after 6 attempts, glad I didn't buy this one.
I don't recommend this game.

I really liked this game for the free 60 minutes however I think it would become very monotonous if playing it for longer, it is very repetitive, it would keep younger people amused for quite a while though I suspect.
I stuck with this for about 40 minutes as I thought it might get better.....it didn't, the objects are really difficult to find and you only seem to get 2 hints and that is after you find the magnifying glasses in the scene to add to the hints, definitely do not recommend.
I don't recommend this game.

Whilst I quite enjoyed this game it was over a bit too quickly, it would have been nice to be 'doing up' the whole house and not just the entrance hall/drawing room or whatever it is, also the choices for decorating are a bit lacking, if you want to change something such as the 3 piece suite you have to do it one item at a time which is a bit of a swizz, however short though it may have been, it kept me occupied over the past 2 very rainy days!
Sorry but I found this a bit boring, it just seemed to be the same page after page, then it crashed my computer, twice, that made my mind up not to buy it.
