Well, haven't we gotten lazy. I just played the free trial but that was enough. The scenes I played were largely recognized from past games. I expect some of that but this was sad. I did like the one addition of collecting gold anchors but they did away with the iconic trash collection. I won't purchase this game, which is sad because I LOVE this series.
I don't recommend this game.

Where to begin? It's all colorful, well-drawn, etc. but at the end of each chapter there is a puzzle with no directions for it. If you have a hint left then you will get the vaguest of clues so I gave a poor score due to impossible puzzles rather than the usual too easy-too hard challenge. This takes the fun out of it for me as I enjoy the challenge of puzzles but w/these I ended up skipping most of them. At the end is the biggest challenge of all and there I am stuck as there is no help/clue to what you are to do. I'm a savvy, experienced player who is not above using the walkthroughs on occasion but this game doesn't have one and if any game needs one it's this one.
I don't recommend this game.

Wish I had my money back on this one. It looked like fun but turned out to be too hard to follow and needed a map & guide. Most of the puzzles were impossible to figure out too.
