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.
I really liked the extras except the diary items that were ordinary things. The garden where you buy things for it was a big hit with me. I usually save for the biggest items I want but I started with the Dryad statue and hanging lanterns. Had to wait to the end of the bonus chapter to get everything.
I used different wallpaper during the week. I had a lot to choose from. The crystal/birds to collect was nice but I don't think they are real in life birds. I played the videos several times. When I stop and start it's a good reminder where I am and what I was doing. I just plain enjoy them.
I like most puzzles on easy. Didn't like a few hops as they were too puzzle-like and not hop-like. Didn't like the map hops or the slide rule hops. Didn't like the hop to spot the differences that doesn't have a side by side comparison. You have to look at it and it collapses. I just click around on some thing like that because I dislike it so much.
I really liked the pattern on Lancelot's armor. I liked the submarine puttering across.
The bonus chapter was very long.
Replay 18 hops, 18 mini-games, 29 videos and 5 music. It has 4 chapters + bonus, 19 wallpapers and 34 concept arts. Liked the crystal Birds and the Garden. Backpack was worthless.
It's a murder mystery. I loved it except for most puzzles. I only liked the bird puzzle, grabbing things in a machine, fitting keys and the dangerous course, out of the 18 puzzles. I don't like fool with it puzzles. Some places I had to hint out of because there wasn't a skip. I liked all the hops. The screensavers are great because they usually have a moving one. The one I liked is the town square with the moving wind mills. I liked the story.
I collected 60 morphing puzzle pieces and 12 collectible magic cards that have really life facts. I read the cards before the game was ended afterwards I couldn't access them. They were interesting to read. The map has icons for morphs and collectibles that you need to pick up. I collected all the way into the bonus chapter.
Replay 16 hops, 18 mini-games, 16 movies and 4 music. Has 8 screensavers, 7 wallpapers, 7 concept arts, achievements, 4 chapters + bonus and collection which is a jigsaw.
I've seen fall in some games lately. Pumpkins, Scare crows and Halloween characters like Witches. Why not lush summer games? I liked it well enough but didn't want to spend hours at a time playing.
The map and collectibles, morph indicator is very good. Good amount of extras. I did have to rely on the map heavily. I think it was worth getting the CE. Wished the interactive hops were in the guide. I like list hops better. I liked the character and story. I only like mini-game number 2,6,7,9 out of the 14.
There is a certain place that had a constantly tweeting bird and I hated hearing it after a while.
You can replay 14 Videos, 8 music, 14 mini-games and 5 tile swap puzzles. The interactive hops are not included in replay. Has 4 chapters + bonus, 10 wallpapers and 10 concept art. Collect 43 Collectibles, 30 morphs and 10 historical manuscripts. You only collect morphs in the main game.
I love the game. Aztecs and pyramids. Loved the hops and liked the mini-games. The pool mini-game was unexpected. Visited Teotihuacan Mexico, Acapulco Mexico, New York and Lake Guatavita which is in the Colombian Andes rumored to be El Dorado.
I think the extras are lacking. Need more collectibles. The little souvenirs morph a little. The best morphs are in some of the hops. If Domini didn't pick up the extras from Eipix they should have at least had a three item to pick up and buy things.
I didn't care for their spot the differences between the painting and pictures in the book because you can't fully see the book. So I just clicked around. The spot the differences between the photo and reality was the same thing. You don't have full view of both items at the same time. Don't like to scroll my achievements.
I liked the other maker for Hidden Expedition but they aren't coming back and Domini did a fine job of making a fun game even if it's not the same.
I liked the Siberian Husky bobble head at the end. I also liked the Domini symbols in the game. Feeding the Gummy worms was unexpected.
Replay 32 movies, 18 hops, 23 mini-games and 5 music. It has 7 chapters + bonus. It has 11 wallpapers and 11 concept art. Collected only 20 Calendar Days with info and 15 Aztec Souvenirs with info.
The bonus chapter seemed long to me. It has another tribe and special relic.
