I had to stop in the middle of the demo to review I was THAT excited!! This is the game I have been waiting for!!! It's perfect!
1) NO annoying noises AT ALL.
2) Gorgeous scenery crisp and clear
3) Constant gameplay...a real game and not a storybook.
4) Not being stopped by effects with every scene change
5) Fresh and fun mini games
6) A cute story, and I don't even like stories.
LOVE LOVE LOVE...have to get back to my perfect game and can't wait to buy and play the rest.
I recommend this game!

This was 90% story and very little gameplay. What was there was really done for you, more point and it happens. The hops were muddy and the whole thing just a confusing mess in my opinion.
The worst thing was the annoying sound made with every move of the mouse.
I love period pieces so really wanted to find some redeeming qualities, bummer.
I don't recommend this game.

I bought this one and am almost done. The scenery is beautiful. There aren't a ton of horrible noises that grate on your nerves. It's nearly constant game play - TONS to do and not a lot of story.
The mini games are unique and I only skipped one or two the whole game because I couldn't get what they were asking me to do. I like when you use an item but it's not the full fix so you have to find more. It's not too challenging and not too easy, items seem like they can work in a few places.
I like the little helper dog, he is used sparingly and is adorable.
The ONLY thing I could find wrong is that I hate being forced to listen to the story by it being included in the mini game. Otherwise, I am not sure why this has a 3 star review., it deserves a 4 in my opinion at least.
I recommend this game!

I love love LOVED this game, it was everything I like.
1.There were not the excruciating strange noises that hurt your ears.
2. It was constant gameplay, not just three areas in a scene and a ton of effects.
3. There was not a lot of story. After all, I pay for a GAME, not a book.
4. The minigames were easy and original, I was able to quickly finish them because truly my favorite thing is the find and use aspect of these games.
5. Even the find and use parts were original.
I PRAY they come out with more like this to quench my big fish cravings...WELL DONE!!
I recommend this game!
