I liked that I could choose to do only hops, mixed or just puzzles but you can't change it once it's set. Even with the hops setting only I did the treasure box puzzle and others.
I liked the morphing hops but found the flipbook hops very frustrating. It should have been in the guide. I wasn't crazy about the second collector. It was too guy like. Placement had to be so precise playing the game.
I only liked the matching and toy grabber mini-games as far as replays go. I found 48 collectibles, part of them morphed. I also found 20 jigsaw pieces and at the end of the game I put the jigsaw together and I can do it again if I want to. I liked the hidden chapter which is a hops and I can replay that also
Very nice achievements. 3 chapters + bonus + hidden chapter. Replay 27 movies, 13 hops, 8 music and 11 mini-games. 10 wallpapers and 10 concept art.
I played this twice and I was frustrated the first time. I wanted to see where the Pixie goes MIA and I enjoyed the second time playing this game. I enjoyed the Pixie in the beta more.
I started to see it's a long game and I was going nowhere fast. The game is a bit trickier. I didn't see the small cracks where they hid things or the boards I need to break into. A few places they switched things up and where I wanted to put a cork on a drawer they had other plans.
The game was fun the first time until chapter 4 I was bored and frustrated. I really like Nyorda and hope to see her in some newer games. The second time I took my time and slowed myself down and had a good time.
I did see some things they need to fix like a few achievement came at the wrong time and had the wrong picture. Namely bringing momma bird, the guards and need a ride. It works out. Also I had to click multiple times to pick up some shells.
Some scenes are so beautiful like the Imperial Gardens, Road to the Lighthouse, the coast and Nyoda's temple.
I liked the target mini-game. The hops are pretty. They should have put the interactive hop in the guide.
Replay 21 videos, 18 hops, 18 mini-games, 5 music. Ten Wallpapers and ten concept art. They should have wallpapers with the pretty places instead of characters. The concept art has the nice places but aren't polished up. Who are they pleasing? Themselves? 6 chapters + Bonus. There are only 34 locations to pick up 70 shells. Buy things for your Chest. Find 15 morphing enchanted items. The morphing part is the only enchantment. Find 15 potion vials with info.
Finally more rings to find. Too bad I wasn't happy with what I was buying. The multiple layer skeleton to dress was disappointing to me. The bat shirt I bought disappeared after purchase. I would have preferred a room with cool things to buy.
I didn't like the part washed out hops or the find what's missing from the picture hops. I didn't like how it's played. I liked the interactive scenes it reminded me of Elefun.
Liked the bonus replayable 26 videos, 18 hops, 18 mini-games and 5 music. Liked the 15 wallpaper and 15 concept art.
I enjoyed this game. It has many extras like morphs in the scenes, collecting buildings and puzzle pieces. The secret room has 61 morphs.
The bonus chapter has a ghost story. I liked the ghost and boy screensavers for movement. The ladies were ok but hardly any movement. Archives has replays of 13 hops and 13 puzzles.
I recommend this game!

Vacation Adventures: Cruise Director
Travel the world as a Cruise Director, in charge of the super luxurious S.S. Liberty of the Waves!
I like this game more than some of the newer ones by other developers. I can picture myself on vacation here. The graphics are better than some newer ones by other developers. They have different scenes and you aren't replaying a scene over and over. No stupid scrambled words.
Left USA from NY. Went to Mexico, Barbados, Rio du Janeiro and Galapagos Islands. Returned to USA by San Francisco.
I was pretty happy with the game. I liked the maze and shooting the canon. The morphs are too slow as I don't want to wait around for them. Didn't like the hops in Eleanor's house.
The screensavers are wonderful they have movement. There are five of them. Three are water related. Waterfall, fountain and water pouring out. The other two have fireflies. I didn't like the wallpaper. I would like wallpaper with architecture or something scenic.
17 hops used more than once. 13 mini-games, 5 music and 23 movies. 5 Screensavers and 10 wallpapers. 4 chapters + bonus. Find Elves and Morphs.
I recommend this game!

Vacation Adventures: Park Ranger
Work as a Park Ranger in a beautiful National Park!
This was the first time I played a park ranger game and I was overwhelmed with all the trash and no indication I had all of them. Well I just play a scene over and over until I found everything.
I found 150 lost and found items but you don't have a book to keep them in. No buying anything and No achievements.
The scenes are beautiful and mostly clear so you see things. Knowing this is the first one out of ten I hope they get better as far as letting you know if you picked up all the recyclables or let you see the combined lost and found items. I would like to buy souvenirs so hope they are in the coming games.
I played this game twice to pick up all the morphs. The guide is off and the count is off but I got my achievements. Their are 26 morphs and 23 puzzle pieces. Even with no puzzle piece in the last Elf it still allowed me to set my screensaver because the last Elf doesn't have a puzzle piece. The screensaver moves and it has two monsters on it. I like it. Still needs a better indicator for collectibles.
Some details got to me like a guy with the name Eft because it's so close to Elf. A picture of three cadets and the red head is listed as Ginger but when she speaks it's Rachel. Almost the whole game and I didn't know I was playing as Amber.
I liked the mini-games shooting, maze, monster lock and symbol combining. Liked all the hops. The achievements I liked that the creature in the water tube changed from small to large for not using hints in the hops.
In the bonus chapter I liked the multiple changing of the accessories for the gun. Liked Multiple exploding things. Has replays on hops and mini-games. Three Chapters + bonus.
I liked the morphing origami I collected but if I wanted to look at it better I had to stop the game. I like to buy things with the coins during game play but can't do that either. Only part of my 15 art supplies materialized in the art closet. Why so flawed?
As soon as someone said they are acting strange I knew who the killer was. I didn't like the roof top maze. I didn't like the other maze either. Besides these things, I liked the game.
I just finished the complete game and I liked the story. I liked the easy puzzles. As soon as I found out the mystery of it I was bored playing. This game is ok. After a while it was a chore to play and I was just going through the motions. The bonus chapter was good and a continuation of the main story.
Has good achievements, collectibles and indicators. I didn't like any of the wallpapers. I Loved the hops and I will replay them. I mourn MCFs.
