I liked this one, a lot. The graphics are fun, and there are a lot of upgrades and various things to do that make it interesting. If you try to kill the zombies too fast, while they are still smoking, they split into 2, which means you have to pay attention to what you are doing, and not just randomly stomp zombies! Each level has different goals, which also keeps it fun.
I recommend this game!

Each level has different goals, which kept it interesting. What I found frustrating was trying to remember whether I needed to build a foundry or a quarry to get the supplies I needed! I thought it was cute that the bank gave a constant supply of money to the company office, though. The game gave trivia about the Eiffel Tower, which was interesting. Overall, just not worth the credit to buy this game. Even during the demo, it just became rather repetitive.
I don't recommend this game.

The HOGs are fine, but the gameplay itself was a bore. Played the entire demo, and was really glad when it was over! It's a shame, too, because I am always on the lookout for holiday themed games.
I don't recommend this game.

I really like the combination of the TM and HOG. You get to go to different restaurants all the time, so you don't end up memorizing one place too soon. You earn money feeding the customers, and use the money to build your zoo. Of course, you also have take care of the animals, build the restaurants and the zoo, and get each zoo pen ready for the animals. The mini games give you a breather from the HOGs, which is good, since that is the TM part. Much better than just slapping ingredients on a pizza over and over, you have to find various ingredients in the restaurants, and cook, all the while keeping an eye on the patience of the guests. This one I bought - it's really nice to have a game that incorporates different fun aspects, all the while without being gloomy or supernatural!
I recommend this game!

I've only played the demo so far, but I liked this game. There was a lot of reading to figure out what the story line was, but not as much as with some other games. The HOGs were good, and included some interactive parts to create the needed item. I did have to use the hint button a couple of times to figure out where to go next, so it's not a dumb-downed game. The graphics are great! This should be worth the purchase. Question, though - whatever happened to being able to play for 60 minutes?? These games that limit you to only the demo are annoying!

Very predictable game, nothing very interesting about it. Certainly not enough HOGs. Too much stuff to read as you go along - that took longer than anything else!
I don't recommend this game.

Instead of following a story line, you play as the owner of a shop that works to find items for your store that will sell at a profit of what you have invested. You can choose to sell something outright, or to send it to auction if it hasn't sold. You make deals with interesting characters for their items, all the while on the lookout for items that can be combined to create something new. Makes it interesting, but not worth it to spend credits to buy the game!
I recommend this game!

Great graphics in the cutscenes! The game is a little bit slow in moving from one scene to the next, but that's okay. The HOGs are good. The only complaint I had was that I was moving around, picking up objects that I didn't know I needed or wanted, and it wasn't till later that I figured out what they were for. Of course, if I had read the strategy guide I might have had more of a clue, but I rarely do that. It only took me about 45 minutes to get through the demo, without skipping the cutscenes, which is probably about average. Overall, a good game.
I recommend this game!

I like Match 3 games, usually, but not this one. It was annoying to have fights between the player and opponent, and I didn't find it at all challenging, or relaxing.
I don't recommend this game.

I love Christmas, and have played every Christmas themed game available. This is just average. Lots of HOGs, but they are not very challenging, and some things make it frustrating. Looking for a shrimp is one thing, but realizing it is a green shrimp is annoying! The minigames in between the HOGs are too simple for adults, and the HOGs are too difficult for children.
I don't recommend this game.
