Just bought the game on the daily special, great deal, good game. Very well done HO, graphics are clear but crowded, I played on advanced mode the HO scenes were challenging, almost always had to hit the hint button on the last item..thats pretty good HO, usually they are waaaay to easy. Interesting storyline, wasn't sure which way it would go pleasant ending, until the last cut scene! no spoiler here..overall good game, would not say great, but good. Ejoyable, relaxing, did not find it "scary" as most stated, whats with that? What do you think is scary? Has a very easy flow, never really wondering what to do next, you do go back and forth alittle, not as much as most, have one gripe...don't want to put spoiler here, but think there are atleast 2 red herrings, I checked the walkthrough when I finished felt like I missed something, should I have gotten the CE, are there scenes in the CE that you don't get with the standard game?
Stepped out of my comfort zone with this one, based on the reviews. Glad I did. I've been playing for about 5 hours, and honestly I haven't built much of a city. I've been enjoying the marble games. When the game first opens you can go to the "Throne Room", there you can play 2 games, one is "drop 'em" where like it states you drop and clear marbles. The other is a matching game, match 5 or more colors in a row, horizontally, vertically or diagonally. It is mesmerizing; I have played this one for hours trying to beat my previous score. It IS my favorite. My review doesn't really cover the other aspects of the game, building cities, dressing your avatar etc. Cuz I am addicted to this other aspect of the game!!
Sorry, I found it very disappointing. Wish I would have tried the download first, live and learn. Glad it was only $2.99! The HOG are frequent and VERY VERY small!! Playing turned into a pixel hunt....not the type of hunt I was looking for. The cut scenes were cartoonish, the HOG scenes, other than small objects were very well done, with clarity. After 30 minutes I gave up, found very boring, you lose the storyline when every other scene is a HOG. If you LOVE LOVE LOVE HOG, then this is a great game for you, as there is not much more involvement. I prefer minigames which I found to be few, there were 2 in 30 minutes.
First off, it is not a short game. Compared other games I've finished in 3-4 hours, this one gives you your time. I completed it in 6 hours 49 minutes. Graphics are good, sound ok. Would have liked actual voice acting, you only hear the author narrate. It is a love story, but I enjoyed the mystery and twist ending although I did figure it out about half way through. Lots of mini games, love it, very little of the HOG, thankfully, not my fav, but there are less traditional hidden object game, much more fun than going off a list. I don't get people who say they finished in less than hour, there is no way you can possibly do all the puzzles, I never skipped one and never hit the hint button for HOG. I played several hours at a time uninterupted. It is well worth the money, not a "manly" game, but very enjoyable with lots of variety.
I recommend this game!

It is extremely short, I have been playing for several hours, am 42% through (per the game), when I saw this I was like, you have got to be kidding!! I loved the first and second games, this one is very disappointing, there are not enough mini games (like loading the engine for the airship), and I really enjoy those. I felt like I was being led by the hand. The hints have a lot to be desired. They tell you what to do (the journal does that), when I am actually looking for a real hint. It is constantly raining (Everywhere), the music was ok, the graphics ok. I read somewhere there is a 4th (fire?) coming out sometime. I look forward to it and only hope the designers read some of the consumer’s reviews and give us more of what 1& 2 had. Thanks for listening to my opinion (for what it’s worth)....peace.
So dreamy, relaxing and "zoning out", yet stilll use stradegy. The music is soooo soothing, visual background ok. Colors are lively. So dreamy, relaxing and "zoning out", yet stilll use strategy. Time just flew by, and thats just the demo....I'm buying asap.
