The Graphics are of good detail. The music is OK for the game
I was able to complete all puzzles without skipping or hints. There are some tricky hidden object puzzles, one was real hard for finding all the objects. I could play the game through without much help.
There are 3 easter eggs to find, a light house, a morphing object, a puzzle piece. Not hard to find but you have to pay attention in each scene.
There are lots of custimizations and you have a map and a fairly good strategy guide.
I recommend this game!

The game has the usual colorful cartoon graphics. It has a good variety of mood music, some good and some not so good. You can play it untimed, timed in easy or hard modes. It plays much like previous games minus some easter eggs. I finished all the levels in easy timed mode with many quite challenging.
On every level there is a puzzle easter egg, some very well hidden. No guides, just an online tutorial. You need to find all the easter eggs to complete the puzzle to open up the bonus game to that section. You can do this in untimed mode and then change the mode level to a timed mode, if you like, to replay the levels in that mode. You don't have to refind the easter eggs once you find them in any mode change or replay.
To build the clock castle you have to play all the levels in a timed mode and get 3 stars.
Plenty of levels to keep you busy for hours.
I recommend this game!

The game has balanced, colorful cartoon graphics. It has a good variety of mood music. You can play it untimed, timed in easy or hard modes. I finished all the levels in easy timed mode with many quite challenging.
On some levels there is an owl easter egg, some very well hidden. Only the guides, as they become available, will tell you if there is an owl on the level. It won't alter the outcome of the game.
Plenty of levels to keep you busy for hours.

It has good detailed graphics and puzzles are not overwhelming if tricky. One puzzle was tedious so i skipped that one. Music is cinematic, not bad. Full play customizations a hand.
You have 3 easter eggs to find, Jodac's inventions which are morphing objects, coins to buy stuff in the laboratory in extras, and potion bottles. Indicators in the lower left hand section indicate what objects are up for finding and also an indicator on the map will also tell you there are objects to find.

A significant redone game format but the graphics remain colorful, well balanced and detailed as before.The only negative is they still have the same ol blazo enviro music, not bad just boring.
The game sessions are quite long on the levels past 10. You have various easter eggs to find that are listed in a left hand panel and some are well concealed, but they don't give you anything extra except bragging rights. You have locator maps but only after you have competed that level in the extra section. If you don't find them all you will have to start all over on the replay to get them all.
And on some levels there is this mysterious UFO doing strange things.
There are no game guides except for the extra levels. You have a built in tutorial which you can turn off.
You can play all levels in untimed mode, but for the last level in timed mode you must complete every other level in hard mode. I finished with every level in easy mode, which give you adequate time for almost every level, except for the last level which requires hard mode.
I recommend this game!

The graphics are very good and detailed. The music is conventional cinematic, not bad. Customizations are complete. Most of the puzzles are solvable for the average person, but one is tedious and the other is based on the old mine field game which I find aggravating.
There are 3 easter eggs to find- shields, souvenirs, and fact disks. What you find will show up in the Extras section. You can play all hidden object games and puzzles there once you finish the game. The fact disks are informative on background info.
It's an intriguing and informative game.
I recommend this game!

The game has colorful, complete graphics that are kind of fuzzy. The Music is bohemian ethereal, nice and relaxing, it fits the game pretty much.
Sometimes the cursor morphs to a hand when you are on an object needed and to a application gear when an item can be used, but not always. Some interactive scenes are tricky, not obvious, not much on clues.
There are 3 easter eggs to find, a morphing object, a collectors item and manuscripts. You can refer to a map to help you when objects are undiscovered or where a task can be performed next.
Game object finding, application and puzzle solving can be difficult but not really hard when you apply abstract thinking. I got stuck on one and had to resort to the strategy guide to my regret as I should have tried harder. One puzzle was a clone of the minefield game which I never figured out, skipped it.
But if you get stuck the strategy guide is very good and the chicken hint option. There were several objects that were hard to find as they were in unexpected places so search carefully in every nook and corner.
Once you finish the main and bonus games there is a bonus puzzle game in extras that becomes available with 20 extra puzzles. You can also replay the game puzzles except for the one bridge game that confounded me.
The game has a complete set of options when setting up various features of the game like other games of this type.
I recommend this game!

A very colorful and detailed game. Music is appropriate for the era but orchestra boring. Game is complicated with challenging levels.
The game is unusual from other TMGs. You have to earn gold stars to purchase bonuses of running, work and resources. So I recommend you start out in untimed mode till you get all 3 basic bonuses. Then you can go back to earn green stars to buy additional bonuses of speed, work, and resource related. You get these stars by beating the developer time period when you are in timed mode. Each bonus allows you to more easily earn the green stars which show up on the map markers as you replay those levels where you failed to acquire them.
It has a guide but it's very basic. The tutorial is embedded in the game play but can be turned off in the options menu.
You have 1 easter egg in each of the levels to find for bragging rights. The progress indicator at map level will show how many of the eggs you have found, and once found you don't need to refind on the replay. On the map a little green dot will appear on the marker if you found the egg. If you get frustrated on finding the egg the guide will show you where it is hidden.
I was able to complete all levels in Timed mode to green star achievement level with all bonuses activated. I also won all the golden cup awards after that.
The good thing about this game it will teach kids how to develop analytical skills. But it's entertaining to some degree. What would really be desired is a game that reflects on real world scenarios instead of fantasy worlds.
I recommend this game!

As in the previous versions, it's a very colorful and detailed game. Music is appropriate for the era. You have variation on the traps and resources like in the previous games.
You have the same characters as in the previous version with their various bonus abilities of speed, resource replenish, building speed, etc. But in this game version you earn money to buy more time for the various bonus abilities with side gold earning levels. You also, on the easter eggs, have 3x the 'items' to find. Once found you don't have to refind on a replay. On completion of the main levels you have 11 bonus levels.
The guide is sketchy but good for locating hidden items it you tired of the searching.
You have 3 very hard levels to complete in the timed mode. I finished all levels, some with effort of trial, error and using the guide. So I won all awards. Enjoyable, challenging game.
I recommend this game!

This is a takeoff of famous fairytales like Wizard of Oz, Pinocchio, Gulliver, etc. The graphics are quite good but finding stuff can be a challenge as it's not so easy, they clebberly conceal things. And the hops have embedded puzzles. Most of the puzzles are readily solvable except the last one. The guide and the map was OK.
There are 2 easter eggs to find- statues and morphing objects. It was hard finding some of them. There is a bonus plus game that is an endless series of puzzles with no prize on the outcome when you find all the easter eggs.
The game play can be quite abstract as is the storyline. The bonus game was ambiguous in the ending with what seemed a good and bad ending.
I recommend this game!
