There isn't much going on here, you have the option of 4 different types of match gameplay from your typical match 3 to click and drag as many matching tiles as possible. It also has the same tools as all the other match games, the hammer, lightning etc. Same ole match twice to break this tile and then there is a hidden object scene between sets. The music is annoying and this game is boring! By the way what does the story have to do with the game and the beginning cut scene is the only time they tell part of a story.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a game that parents will be doing most of the controlling, perhaps asking the child where Teddy should go or what Teddy should do or who to talk to. Even though it is a simple game, mostly just click in the direction of the highlighted arrow or point and click on a character to have a conversation or click on an item when the cursor changes to a hand to pick up that item, I still believe the average age that will enjoy this game is probably 4 or 5 and won't know what to do next without help. Teddy Floppy Ear visits his uncle who is an artist, however if this is supposed to be for kids, why did Teddy's Uncle ask him to walk home alone and give him the address asking him if he could find the place in a small town even though he had never been there? Teddy will help others along the way (as he's walking all over the woods alone) such as the bear who takes the bee's honey without asking while destroying the garden. Teddy explains to the bear that he must ask nicely for the honey and the bee's will gladly share! It is a cute adventure to play with the kids if you can overlook the bad advise of walking alone. There are a few mini games such as click on 5 things Teddy can use on his trip to the mountains but other than that it's mostly just an adventure story. Enjoy!
I don't recommend this game.

It probably won't matter what I write on this review because of being on the last page, but never the less, here it is. This is a great game although I did notice a few glitches here and there it didn't interfere with the gameplay. I really liked the feature of finding coins in each scene that are used when you come across treasure chests containing various items. There is a map for speedy travel as well as indicating areas of interest and coins available. Some of the items you find will have a plus sign next to it indicating that it will need to be combined with another item before using. The HOS are interactive and fun, in one scene when you click on one cabinet door several open, when you click on a different door some shut while others open! When you become engrossed in a game so much that you want to play.....just a little longer...then you know it's a big fish keeper and that's exactly what will happen when you play this game. Enjoy!

What a great game, although I prefer the CE because I love the added features of morphing objects (or morphing sea creatures) as well as achievements. On the other hand, the SE game is definitely worth the buy because the story is great the graphics are eerie and the atmosphere will leave you feeling as though you are alone on an island desperately searching for your twin brother against evil forces. The HOS are well done, with lot's of interaction and in both list finds as well as find 4 frogs, 4 spiders etc. The mini games are good and not difficult such as 4 discs with wire lines that you must match up to allow electricity to travel from the center to the outside light bulbs through the wires. There is a map for traveling as well as indicating an area of interest by glowing and the hint system is excellent and the arrow will continue to show you the path to take through each scene until it reaches the point of interest and then shows you what inventory item to use. This is a great game for Mother's Day and I would like to say Thank You to all the mother's of the world who made us all what we are today! Happy Mother's Day, enjoy!

This was the first series of HOPA games that I ever played way back in the day, so I may be partial but I love the ongoing sagas that Anna faces. With an evil twin sister and Jacob the mentor who is possibly corrupt and the beautiful animals that help Anna with her quests what's not to like? I don't want to be a plot spoiler so please take my word on this one and start at the beginning with Empress of the Deep (but not a necessity to play this game) I believe that you will enjoy the storyline. The graphics are well done but keep in mind that it is a fantasy based theme. The only complaint I have is the HOS items are a little on the small side, but there is a cool feature of the game and that is unlocking the zen feature which is a match 3 game with a little bit of spunk, enjoy!
I recommend this game!

This is a great game with a good storyline, good graphics, with a spooky and eerie vibe, that allows for travel to otherworlds via portals. A woman has been called to St. Peters Cathedral in Italy by the pope to help find stolen seals when her grandfather goes missing. There aren't too many HOS but they are interactive and a mixture of finding the listed items and returning inventory items back into their correct place in the scene. There are however a lot of mini game puzzles and some of them are frustrating such as matching diagrams in a web pattern but when you move one stone they all move so it really gets tricky. There are 2 modes of difficulty casual and advanced and the CE has wallpapers, bonus play and mini games to play. I think this is an awesome game. Enjoy!

I haven't played the other two but this game doesn't disappoint! This is a point and click timemanagement game with a lot of action all across the board. The story begins with a tornado wreaking havoc on a town leaving the corrupt mayor to hire Rescue Team at any price (and you take advantage of this) You will click on tree piles and stone piles etc. to remove debris that is standing in the way of repairing buildings or rescuing citizens who will become hired hands and you must collect gold and food that the renovated buildings produce. Later you collect gasoline to fuel rescue boats to help people in lakes or to collect fish and debris in the water. A very addicting game that I recommend you try out and even purchase. Enjoy!

What a wonderful game for people of all ages! You start out with a western themed aquarium and immediately go to the store to buy your first fish. Now you have to name him or her and feed the fish, clean the algae and make money to buy decorations to keep the fish happy. To make money you will complete HOS as well as to find 3 hidden shells in each scene because some of the items you purchase require shells. There are achievements such as not using the hint system and you can play on relaxed or timed settings. It sounds childish but you become engrossed quickly. Another feature is that you can use your newly decorated aquarium as a computer wallpaper. Enjoy!

Granted this is a fairy tale story, everyone in the palace has been enchanted into slumber by the palaces mechanical "heart" because someone has hacked into the core and killed the King, but it is kind of ho hum. The beginning cutscenes are blurry and you have to read the dialog quickly and even the words are blurry. There are a lot of HOS and they have done a good job hiding some of the items. There aren't a lot of mini games and they are easy such as tracing wires from one end to match up with the other end, and putting puzzle pieces in the right place by clicking on two pieces to swap. There are a lot of things to do in each room of the palace but few items in your inventory. The map doesn't tell you where tasks are available, it does however allow you to jump to explored areas. The hint system is horrible, it will only tell you there's nothing to do in this area search elsewhere. For me it was just okay, not great, but not bad either. Enjoy!

Gotta admit this looked like a stupid game, but, it's kind of addicting! The object of the game is to knock out all the cops, scientist clowns etc. by aiming a tennis ball at various and strategic places. The goal is to knock everyone out with only one ball and to achieve this you aim at energy drinks that explode or tubes of tennis balls and various other corners, banners and walls. You can replay the same scene as often as you would like and after playing the entire area another area is unlocked. As the game progresses you get things like energy drink cans to lob which handles and moves differently than the tennis ball so you have to adjust the projected path because it is heavier. A fun game for all ages, enjoy!
