I gave the CE 5 stars but that was before I got too far into the game and only had got to level 10.
I still think this is a very good game but the further I got into it the more confusing I found it. Others may find it ok but to give you a few examples. Some of the obstacles in the rds are the same colour as the rd and the more busier it becomes the harder it is to see. Some obstacles are placed behind a building making it difficult to find.The wood in the wood shed is the same colour as the shed again making it difficult to see. The upgrade arrows are very small and makes it hard to see when a building can be upgraded.
This is all something that the devs could work on to make it clearer if a sequel was ever to come out.,
As you get well in to this game everything is packed so tight together it is a difficulty to see everything, well it is for me.

Having said all that I still think this is a very good game just needs a bit of a tweaking to make it a bit clearer.
I recommend this game!

Others will provide a more detailed review than me but thought I would give a couple of tips while you are trying the demo.
There is a lot going on this game which for me is great however I thouroughly recommend you playing the demo in relaxed so you can get further in the game.If you decide to buy you can then have it on timed if you so want.
The next thing is do not build anything in the Olympic village during your demo as for some strange reason the builders take for ever to build anything here and this eats up your demo time. There is enough going on without wasting a couple of minutes. once you then decide to buy then start to build the village. It will prompt you to build something in the village but I would advise you not to as that caught me out and I lost valuable demo time for something that can wait.
This whole game is very well thought out, well worth the extra for a CE as you get a further 20 levels . Enjoy

I really tried to like and enjoy this game but oh dear.It was very slow and I had difficulty reading what was on the build boards however it was such an easy game to play and absoluitely no challenge for me. Now the strategy guide you need a magnifying glass to see it, way too small. The constant snow falling was very off putting which combined with everything else gave me a headache. The extras for a CE are diabolical, what warrants paying twice the price for this? I am sorry to be so negative but could not find anything I like.It may suit others but not me
I don't recommend this game.
Test your puzzle-solving prowess by blasting through these unique boards!

Believe you me I have tried with this game and I enjoyed the first game but then it is the same old thing over and over again.Please developers either shelve it or clear it or add some interest to the actual game. Would I go in to a shop and buy the same book seven times over just because its had a couple of words altered, no I would not and neither would most others.. I like that you can start with as many different colour balls as you like to make it harder but so could most of the other gameas in this series. Just by adding a few puppies on the side is not good enough in my opinion. It is the game that needs a re vamp, so please revamp it or clear it
I don't recommend this game.

I know a mass of people love hidden object games and I also have just realised this is not really a hidden object game but because when I hovered over it it came up as a HO I ignored it as I am not a fan. My choice I know but think in future I will investigate a bit more. I so love this game and will for sure be buying more. the extra puzzle sections are so appealing to me I am in my element with this game.
I recommend this game!

Had this had more extra in it for a CE then it would have been 5 stars but had to knock one back for the fact it has less levels than all the previous games which were all standard games yet cost twice as much. Finding the hidden objects is a nightmare and takes too long .In my mind it certainly is not worthy of a CE but enjoyable none the less. How long before the SE comes out is anyones guess ?
I recommend this game!

Well this could have been very good but unfortunately it does not recognise some words. Kept entering words which were simple English and it does not accept them so then I die. The concept is good and gets the brain going but it needs refining. You need to type in as Many correct words out of the letters given in order to beat the enemie and you can upgrade and earn gold. Good concept but wonder which dictionary is used?
I don't recommend this game.

If I was going to say anything negative about this game it is that it starts in the cold zone which puts you in a cold mood at the start lol.The good thing about that is it gets it over with then you can warm up.
This developer never lets you down always adding new features. I have the CE of this and will only get a CE if I know the history of the games as you can end up paying double for little extra.. I would say the CE is worth it but only when a sale on. This standard edition is still a very good buy. I love the music here in particular the one with the chanting. There is always something different to do,I love the squirrel just adds another character. You need to think a lot on this one to get your 3 stars but even in relaxed it is a challenge. Enjoy

Been a long time since we have had a new tm game and this was no disappointment. I love the humor in this and as JoyBelle says although it starts off slow once you upgrade your workers experience they get faster. For me this is a very enjoyable game.
I recommend this game!
