Such an Excellent game with a suspenseful and intriguing story line. This game kept me engaged the entire time. I haven't had a game do that in a very long time. I hope we get to see more like this.

I thoroughly enjoyed this game as i have the entire series. I think this one was the best of the series as a matter of fact. The storyline was very engaging and there was a good mix up of things to do (morphing objects, puzzle pieces, puzzles, and of course the adventure part) I hope they do continue this series.
I thought this game was excellent. There are very few games out there (IMO) that have a good solid story line. This one was very in depth. Yes there is a lot of dialog, but you cant tell a story with out it. I felt the dialog added to the game. It gave a purpose to the game.I really feel this game offers something for almost everyone. There is just the right combination of puzzles, hidden object and adventure. The developers did a really great job of developing the characters in this game, which is also something else I really liked. The characters were not flat like in many other games you play in this genre. I was thoroughly engrossed in the game the entire time I played. I wish more games were like this. I would not recommend this game if you dont like to read/hear dialog and just want to get to the mechanics of the game, but if you like a well developed mystery story like I do, then this is the game for you!
I recommend this game!

All of the "scapes" series are great in my opinion. This one does not dissapoint. I love the fact that you get so many options to upgrade your house the way you like it. I also like that they have upgraded the animation and they gave Austin a voice at the begining. They did keep the same characters, including the dog(yay!) and you also see a few characters from some of the other playrix games. ( Did anyone notice the poster w/ Merlin from 4 Elements?) I sure hope they come out w/ a Farmscapes 2 also. Happy Gaming ev1!
This game was excellent IMO! It is a psychological thriller. However there is no blood or gore. The story line is captivating and keeps you playing to find out what happens next. I am not a novice at these kind of games but this game took me a total of 6- 7 hours. Not so much because it was difficult but because I wanted to experience every part of the game. The puzzles were not frustrating and the HO's were not overwhelming. This game provided a good blend of story, adventure,puzzles and HO. I really couldnt ask for more. The collectors edition is well worth the money.
