After weeks of disappointing games, this one was a treat. It has been a good series so far and this latest example is a decent addition. Some new ideas in HOPs and some puzzles that I didn't recognise. I didn't actually play much in the way of puzzles as the game did allow a zero wait in custom mode ... excellent :) The music was rather better than recent ones, not so dreary and the graphics were bright enough to be seen ... but not really that bright.
The colours were dark and gloomy. The music was gloomy and dull. The 15 seconds minimum for skipping in custom mode really put me off too. It would have to have been an extra special game to get past those ... but it wasn't.

The visuals are very grey and smoky, so difficult to see anything. I had to use the guide to find the collectables and, even then, I couldn't actually see them though they were picked up when I clicked in the indicated spot. The music was also very dull ... the whole thing was putting me to sleep. Minimum skip time of 10 seconds ... why force me to wait? And several mini games were not skipable.
