I was so into the demo that when it quit it was like, what???
So I went and bought it.
The graphics are good, story line is not bad, and it is enough of a challenge to make one think without getting frustrated.
The hidden objects scenes are not hard to see the items you are looking for.
I can't say anything about the music as I don't use that feature in my games.
I would say go ahead, try the demo and I bet you will buy it, well worth money or credit.
I recommend this game!

I found this game to be quite different.
I myself like it as a demo, but was not inclined to buy it, it would be a good game for people who would like to learn to type
I like the idea that you type to move the story line along.
I don't recommend this game.

Wow, this has got to be one of the most horrible games out there.
There is no way to shut the music off without also turning off the sound. The music is annoying.
The graphics are not bad, not the best, but not bad.
There is no story just a lot of HOGS, which is great, a lot of choices, and I like the idea of playing either timed or relax mode, but that is all I like about the game, I am glad I tried it first, I won't be buying this one
I don't recommend this game.

A nice relaxed building game, I played the whole demo, and then went and used one of my credits on it.
I liked the fact I could place the buildings where ever I wanted, it didn't give me the option of moving them once they were placed, but that is not a problem, if you must, you can demolish them then rebuild elsewhere
I didn't like the music, found it too annoying, but easy to turn off, so no problem there
The storyline is a little silly, but still fun doesn't take anything away from the game at all
I would recommend the game for sure
I recommend this game!

It is a fun game, I just don't like the way the lives take forever to build back up, if it wasn't for that, this game would be more enjoyable..
I recommend this game!

Didn't really care for this game, it is aimed at just girls and not adults, male or female, which is fine I guess. But I didn't really find it that fun..
The music is very annoying and distracting..
I don't recommend this game.

I really love this game, it allows you to play in easy mode with no timer, or challenge your self and play with a timer, or switch between the two..
So not only is there hidden object scenes, but there is also a huge amount of decorating to do with the garden..
The music is a little annoying, so I just shut it off, there is no real story line per se, but still that doesn't matter..
Well worth the money, I will be getting the other game in the series as soon as I get some credits...
This is one game that can be played multiple times, because you can decorate different ways..
Have some fun, and relax, get the game, you won't be sorry..
I recommend this game!

I enjoyed this game.
The music was a little annoying, and I ended up turning it off, though I do that a lot with most games, can't think with music playing..
The game is broke up into chapters which I liked because it made all the going back and forth a lot easier..
The story is simple, but nice.
The graphics were nicely done, crisp and clear
The hidden objects scenes were great, some of them were hard to find the items, but a hint is easy enough to use if you get really stuck
The puzzles were not that hard, some did require a little more thinking, but not impossible to solve
All in all a great way to spend a couple days..
I recommend this game!

I didn't mind the game, but I won't be using a credit or paying for it either though.
The graphics were not that great, quite poor really.
The hidden objects scenes were mostly quite easy, with a few hard to spot items.
Puzzles were also quite easy.
The story line was really quite bad, not really a story there..
And a very short game, I almost had it done by the time the demo was up.
I think this would be an alright game for people just starting out on these types of games, or for people who want an easy game.
Also would be alright for younger kids..
Not my thing..
I don't recommend this game.

This is really quite a great game..
The story line is a little hokey, but well ignore that and it can be a great game
The music is not bad, but I turned it off, and the voices are clear and easy to understand
The HOG's are good, some scenes are a little hard to find the items, but not to to the point where you want to quit or use a hint.
The puzzles are quite easy actually, not much challenge.
There is a interactive map which is good because there is some moving from point A to point B to get some stuff done..
I didn't find the interactive help really helpful at all, but if a person has played games like this before, then there is no problem figuring things out..
All in all, a fun game and well worth the credit I used to get it...
I recommend this game!
