I enjoyed the first version of this game and this one is even better, as noted by other reviewers. Being able to re-play a level to improve your number of stars is a "must" in my book. Also, the mini-games are a fun addition - more bang for the buck, I think. The cards you buy to aid you in winning really are good and very helpful. The sound effects are fun, too. This is a perfect game to play when you just need something fun and silly to play to shake off a day at work or any other time when you just need to give your brain cells a bit of a vaycay for a little while - although I find it difficult to stop playing. I keep saying "I'll play just one more level" and I keep going and going.
I recommend this game!

This isn't the best, most challenging game of its type, but I enjoyed it overall. You do kind of do the same thing over and over again on each level, so there isn't a ton of variety. The three power ups are good. You don't earn them; they are automatically there at the beginning of each game within each level. Other reviewers have covered the game in such detail that I won't repeat it. Of course you do get into the Lost Tomb. What upset me, after playing the entire game (mostly as an "unwinder" after a stressful day at work) is that as you enter the tomb, the words "To Be Continued" appear. I wanted to throw a rock at the screen - but I can't afford to buy a new laptop. My level of frustration and irritation went up several notches quite quickly. The reviews here are about a year old and I assume a sequel has never been issued after doing a search through Big Fish. To work my way through a sort of mediocre game and get a "to be continued" was not a happy thing for me. I sort of recommend this game, but only if you know it's not the end of the adventure. If anyone knows of a sequel, please let me know.
I recommend this game!

This is a really fun and relaxing game. My favorite thing is that there was such a huge variety of puzzles. I've never seen so many different types in one game. The VOs are good and graphics are, too. Story line is a bit fantastical, but if I want reality I'll read the newspaper. I thought that sometimes the instructions for some of the puzzles weren't real clear, but I've played these types of games long enough to figure out what to do. I found myself really looking forward to each puzzle, just to see what kind it was. I like the HO scenes, too - especially the interactive ones. When you want to just kick back and have fun, this game would be a good choice.
I recommend this game!
Deep sea puzzles and Match 3 fun in a new maritime adventure. Save the oceans and build your paradise!

I finished the trial version and will be purchasing the game. I agree with all the good stuff others have written here. But, I also agree with feanas in that if you play in widowed mode, it is a very small window. The dialogue and instructions are virtually impossible to read. Not only is the font small; but it's white, which doesn't help with the readability at all. I also prefer to play in windowed mode, but can't do it with this game - and I have really good eyes.
I recommend this game!
A unique combination of crime story and match-three puzzle.

This is a devilish good game that will drive you crazy - in a good way. I don't know how many chapters there are, but I'm on chapter 4. I've had to play some parts of each chapter a few times because the timed ones are often not easy. Countless times I have been within one move of winning one of the games in some of the levels. You have to be persistent and evaluate what you need to do to beat the clock. I don't like timed games, but I understand why some of these are timed. Some parts of the game you are limited to a certain number of moves rather than being timed. I like the game and the storyline. I get frustrated and quit for a while. Then I go back and give it another try - and I win and go on to the next game/chapter. The only thing I would really like to see changed is that some of the timed parts would give you just a little bit more TIME - just 10 seconds would make a huge difference once in a while. I've cursed more than once trying to get to the next level, but I keep coming back and trying again. Makes it really sweet when you do win and move to the next level within a chapter. If you are stubborn and determined, like I can be, I think you will enjoy this game as much I do. I gave it four stars because the time factor really is a bit too short for some of the games. I want to have fun and not grind my teeth down to the gums.
I recommend this game!

This is a big improvement over the other mosaic games of this type and I'm very happy about it. None of the stars are based on a timer. I never could finish most of them within the time limit and trying to rush through each one ruined the fun of the game for me, so I always had to settle for two stars. I do games like this for total relaxation and pure enjoyment, both of which a timer ruins. If you like this type of mosaic game, you can't go wrong with purchasing it. Five stars all the way.
I recommend this game!

I played the demo and knew I definitely wanted to get this game. I have finished part one and am looking forward to staring part two. It's not the most difficult game I've played, so far; but after a stressful day at work, sometimes I want a "medium" kind of challenge where I can just kick back and enjoy myself without too much brain-strain. Some of the puzzles are unique and I'm a total sucker for anything HO. Also, I don't usually fret about how realistic some of these games are - I do the whole game thing to relax and have fun. Color outside the lines; think outside the box - just have fun and keep the brain cells active. This is a great SE game, I think. It has many of the same features you find in CEs.
I recommend this game!

Loved this game. No complaints from me. I've played hundreds and hundreds of HO games and there is one thing about this one that I especially noticed. ALL of the VOs are superior - spot on. I don't think I've ever played a game where I could have said that. Voices perfectly matched with each character.
I recommend this game!

I totally agree with Granny Gruff. The lack of instructions is startling and disappointing. You really don't know what to do next or why you are doing it. I enjoy the HO scenes. But, overall, I am just clicking on things trying to figure out what each one does. It's a very confusing game - sort of like being blindfolded and playing pin the tail on the donkey. I am befuddled as to why someone would make a game and then just throw it out there, leaving a player in a state of "What do I do next and why do I do it?" I played the demo and then waited to see if anyone would review it. I definitely hesitate to pay full price for it, so I may wait to use a coupon, just because I like the HO scenes (although they are a bit repetitive) and the graphics are very nice. If you don't mind just poking around and experimenting to see what happens, you may enjoy this adventure; but be prepared to be frustrated by the lack of instructions or hints. I will recommend the game, but only when using a coupon for a free game. Granny Gruff's review is a perfect description of the game in more detail than I am writing since there is no reason for me to repeat it verbatim.
I recommend this game!

Just completed demo and have ordered full version. Visually stunning! Music is sort of new age and appropriate for game. I enjoyed it. The VOs are good except for the niece, Larisa. Coins to find and morphing objects. I love that some of the items in the HO scenes morph. You must select them as they morph into the item on the list. Map is good and interactive. I'm looking forward to finishing this game after I complete the one I'm currently playing.
