I was a little surprised by the negative reviews for this game, it seemed promising. I decided to try the demo. I loved every minute of the demo, and since purchasing, have continued to find this game to be a great gem! Fans of the genre need to try it out, nuff said.
I recommend this game!

As others have said, yes the graphics are pretty bad and seem really out-dated. But my 5 year old daughter loves this game. After the hour demo was over, she begged me to buy it. While I wouldn't buy this for myself, this was for her, and she loved it, so I've got to give credit where its due! This is a kids game, so I wouldn't expect adults to be giving this a low rating just because they did not like it. Have your little one try it out, who knows, they may love it!
I recommend this game!

This game is fantastic. I was so drawn into the story, I didn't want to stop playing. Beautiful graphics and easy but fun gameplay leaves me super excited to start the next chapter of this series. I just hope they keep getting better!

I was a little shocked at some of the negative reviews about this game. You can tell a lot of time and effort was put into this game. The graphics are great and lush, there are many interactions throughout the game. This is definitely a buy for fans of the genre. The story is a tad on the cheesy side, but honestly, so are most. I am glad I tried this game and will buy the full version without a second thought.
I recommend this game!

As with the previous 2 games, the game play has not changed, but that's not a bad thing. Now, they've added voice-overs, and the HO sections have added the multi-step approach to some of the hidden items. To me, the puzzles and HO parts have increased in difficulty, which is also not a bad thing. I really enjoy the PuppetShow series, and am excited to start part 4. I guess the only negative thing I can think of is the music. Its not bad by any means, but they still are recycling the same music from part 1. Although this time, its a tad different, but still the same.
I recommend this game!

This is a great sequel. The puzzles and HO's a little more difficult this time around, which is a welcome change. The graphics seem to be a little more updated as well. The music is creepy great, but its exactly the same music as in part 1. Not really a bad thing, but a little disappointing. I'm getting ready to start the 3rd game and very excited! Great series so far!

This was probably the first HOA game I played way back in the day. I loved it then, and decided to get it again mainly for nostalgic reasons. This game is a little dated compared to others out there, but to me, this is a great classic. I've never played the sequels so I am stoked to finally play them!
Graphics are a bit dated, and the puzzles are not very challenging. The music is repetitive, but spooky and really adds to the game.
I recommend this game!

This game is a lot like Ballad of Solar. Not as good, in my opinion, but definitely worthy of your money. Its a TM game mixed with cute graphics, corny story and characters (which is what makes this more of a joy to play) Any TM fan that don't take gaming seriously should at least try the demo.
I recommend this game!

I received this game free way back in the day for joining Big Fish. Its a typical match 3 game with little variety. I guess its fun if you like basic match 3 games, but I could not recommend spending money on this game.
You are up against a timer, though I never ever ran out of time. You start with 4 lives and gain an additional life at 50,000 points. This game is really easy and again, has little variety. The only thing that really changes is the types of jewels you can match. Its hard to recommend this game when there are several better ones out there.
I don't recommend this game.

The first 20 minutes or so was kind of iffy for me. The story seemed a little cheesy, but as I progressed and gotten more into the game, I fell in love with the story and game play. Great game in my opinion. If you finished the demo and are on the fence about this one, I say pick it up, you won't regret it!
I recommend this game!
