After playing Jane Croft: The BakerSt. Murder, I hoped to never find a hidden object game worse than that, but I found it right here!
Good Parts:
The game has some good music. Probably the only highight of the game.
Graphically, the Hidden Object Scenes were clear.
Un-installing the game.

Un-installing the game.
OK Parts:
In the intro, the graphics were average though. They were cartoony and not modern at all.

Bad Parts:
The game is a real bore. It was not fun to play at all and I couldn't wait to un-install it!
The storyline is very boring. Intro doesn't appeal to me and it really failed to set the mark for the game.
Hidden Objects were really hard to find. I got so frustrated that I just quit!
The hint takes too long to recharge.

Overall, I really hated this game. The title sums itup: An Antique. It should be pulled off this site before more people suffer. Could only bear 5 minutes.
I don't recommend this game.
After Awakening in a mysterious castle it's up to you to collect clues and items needed to solve perplexing puzzles and escape!

I didn't hate this game, but I certainly didn't enjoy it.
Good Parts:
Great graphics, very appealing, great designs, very modern-looking.
A great storyline that is well accompanied by a great voice-over. The intro is pleasing.

OK Parts:
The Hidden Object Scenes. The majority of the objects were hard to find, but some were easy, making them not a complete disaster, but still not enjoyable.

Bad Parts:
Puzzles were frustrating. They were too hard and annoyed me.
The game wasn't fun to play. I got bored very, very quickly.
No skip button to skip the puzzles.
Hnt took forever to recharge.
You had to free the fairy to get the hint, which was really annoying.
I think this game really needs a strategy guide. For the most part, it was really hard to figure out what to do.

I liked this game at first, but some really annoying things brought down the rating.
Good Parts:
The graphics are pretty good, great designs and very modern.
The tasks were fun and a great challenge for me.
The game was actually pretty fun to play.
The game is sims like. You start off with 5 people and have to build an entire colony.

Bad Parts:
Particular parts of the gameplay were confusing. I'd either need to find something and I didn't know where it was, or the symbols were confusing me.
The map should've been way more clear than it was. There should've been something to indicate where to go for your next task or something.
Some tasks were timed, which in my opinion, took away the freedom of the game.

Slingo was fun!
The gameplay was great. A lot of hidden object scenes and a few slingos.

Bad Parts:
Graphics very poorly designed. Didn't like them at all. Developers shuld hae sentmore time on them.
Storyline not really good. You try to sneak on a ship with a fake ticket and you must win engh money to get a real one by paying casino games.
The game was not very fun.
The casino games were terrible. Instead of actually playing a rewal version of 21, you had to place cards on a board to get 21 and instead of playing poker, you had to make hands by placing cards on a board.

I didn't mind this game, although it did get boring at times.

Very very good graphis. Excellent detail, very realistic, modern and very clear.

The hint recharged very very fast.

I thought this game was getting somewhere, and just needed a bit more tweaking. It's still a good game though, and I'll be happy to recommend it.
I recommend this game!

I think these days people have forgotten what a true hidden object game is and are epecting a dark, dreary game with amazig storylines and excellent graphics. This game is great and proof that the original Hidden Object Game still exists.
Good Parts:
Great fun to play
Hint recharged very very fast.
No shortage of hidden object scenes
The graphics aren't the best I've ever seen but they're still good.
The Hidden Object Scenes were great. They were a good challenge, with some objects easy to find and some hard to find.

Bad Parts:
The storyline is just awful. full stop. It's very boring, with no voice-overs and not the slightest bit of interest. Really disappointed.
The hint only worked in Hidden Object scenes and did not tell you where you needed to go next once the hidden object scene was finished.

I didn't mind this game. It was a good challenge.
Good Parts:
Gameplay was good. Simillar to other Brain Games I've played such as Big Brain Academy. Daily Exam was fun and practice was a good way to tune my sklls.
The minigames were a great challenge and really tested al 4 corners of my brain.
Stamps were included. This made the game fun as I wanted to collect them all.
