This is a fairly simple game to learn. Like most time management games, it starts at a gentle pace and slowly gets crazy but remains playable even at harder levels. In addition, this game has the advantage of very cute bears of all varieties on every level demanding different things to eat. Clever and fun. My 9 year old daughter loves it too!
I recommend this game!

The plot of this game got my attention when I first tried it and overall, it really is a good idea. The problem I ran into, is that the story is interrupted at every stage by a list of objects to find. Yes, I'm aware this is a hidden object game and that's the point, but I find that endless lists of things to search for becomes tedious if the plot doesn't advance much.
The only other troublesome issue for me was the dialogue between the characters. It was choppy and often not believable.
Now for the good stuff: The rooms were beautiful and pleasant to search. Many of them were so well done, I would have enjoyed them in reality. Objects were consistently well hidden and a challenge to find.
If you don't care about plot so much and really like lists of things to find, this is a great game.
I recommend this game!

I'm from the old school of adventure games and don't mind if a puzzle takes a bit to solve. This game is really good in the puzzle department, it holds your interest, and if you have a bit of the romantic in you, the Egyptian theme is quite satisfying.
The graphics show the game's age, but they're still very good. Overall, it's a game worth playing.
I recommend this game!

I really, really tried to like this game. It had some funny dialog and character interactions, but that wasn't enough to keep the game moving. It also suffered from stereotypical characters and a fairly predictable plot. Given, that may have been an intentional attempt at humor, but it didn't work for me.
I don't recommend this game.

This game was delightfully creepy. Some of the mini-games were really fun. My 8 year old daughter was hooked on one that was a touch too hard and I got to do it over and over with her. I'm sure I'm smarter for it.
As usual, the graphics are great and the story is fun. The grandmother's accent is completely unlike any Japanese accent I've ever heard, but all else is great.
I recommend this game!

For the most part I enjoyed this game. It was somewhat short, and not too challenging. It felt like it came to a sudden and screeching halt at the end. I found myself shaking my head at the ending. Way too cliché.
I recommend this game!
