I look forward to Christmas Wonderland every year and bought this game as soon as I could. Did not try the demo as I have the other 8 and love them. I play this with my grandchildren and they love it; good bonding for us with this game. If you don't like HO games then don't buy this; I happen to love HO games and this one didn't disappoint. Looking forward to Christmas Wonderland 10!!
I am glad they decided to release this game. Sure it's not the sophisticated, newer, DARK versions but it was great to go back to the roots and play. I read a few complaints that there were too many HOS in this game--it's a hidden object game!! This is what these games were in the beginning and they were fun to play! This is my first review after many years of playing these games and the reason is, I had to express how I enjoyed a blast from the past. Thanks!
