this was an ok game and I was having fun. I had got quite a fair way through to a part inside some mines, when a glitch occurred and I couldn't get the final piece of a mural to move forward. I looked at an online cheat site and found others had been stopped at the same glitch. I didn't bother going all the way back to the beginning and starting again. there was too much back and forwarding in the game anyway, and the mini games were annoying. if you can get to the end of the game it's probably fun, but there's a risk it will glitch and stop your game play.
I don't recommend this game.

this was a fun game - I played advanced and it was very quick. Lots of different HO games which were fun. Played all the mini games and most were easy. Some were very frustrating to finish because instructions were vague and didn't make sense, one game asked for three of an item when there was only two at the end so I couldn't finish it; another wouldn't allow what appeared to be the only solution after trying every possible permutation. Apart from that, it was short but fun. The CE would definitely be more fun.
I recommend this game!

I don't think I've ever thought of writing a bad review before but this is the most boring and frustrating game I have ever played from big fish. Unfortunately I only read the first few reviews. I should have known when I couldn't play a demo not to buy! Even though i used a voucher it was a waste! All I did was wander around asking boring questions from expressionless cranky characters, get lost in a tomb and find useless objects. I had no idea why I had a camera.I didn't really know what adventure I was meant to be participating in - or maybe I forgot it was so boring! I even got into trouble twice from the cranky girl! I played for maybe 40 minutes and gave up. Don't try the forum for tips, because all but 2 of the forums are locked! There isn't even a bigfish walkthrough that I could find - I googled for one. Stay away from this game. Don't waste your money.
I don't recommend this game.

the other reviewers are right. this is a lovely game - very pretty, relaxing and laid back. if you enjoy jigsaw puzzles then this is nice. however, it was too short and the puzzles were easy. also the story was amusing but it got a bit tedious. I thought there was too much story and not enough puzzles. It's a nice game for kids - but I enjoyed it as well AND it was a nice way to relax after being immersed in Final Cut Homage!
I recommend this game!

this game was fun at first. I like games where you have to fix up the garden or house. but this one got tedious and very repetitive. I found the characters irritating and skipped them. HOS were easy and all the mini games were the same over and over again, just a little harder each time, but not too taxing, except for one game (removing mines) which was just frustrating! However, as a really fun change this game had sudoku which was fun.
the worst part, this game froze repeatedly and it also crashed every time I tried to harvest capsicums, so I just had to leave them in the field. I don't think it was as much fun as some of the other makeover games
