I have played the other two Lost In... games many times with great enjoyment. Although I did buy this, I feel it does not quite measure up.
Game play is very smooth, but the graphics are not as good. I think it will become quite challenging.
Compared to the Match-3 from yesterday, this is a shining star

Bought immediately!
My favorite series, despite the occasional need that forces the use of a hint. I have all the others. I usually have one of these games in progress while playing a HOP/Adventure game. Taking a break often gets me past a tough spot.
The prior 2 reviews explained the game so clearly I do not need to repeat. I will add that in addition to a hammer there is a 'sun' which will reveal a small group of squares and a hint that will give you the left top square.
The penguin does not do much for me (he seems now be divorced) but these are far and away the best of these type of games.

You need to try it for yourself.
The game play is different and very smooth. I found the trial hour flew by even though the graphics are very cartoony - they reminded me of Edward Gorey.
If there is a story, it is beyond me. The first level seems to be about a child in an asylum.
I should mention there are some odd scenes with religious overtones. A nun accompanied by an enormous blue spider and surrounded by skulls for example. And an odd scene in a church. Some people may be offended.
There are some drawbacks...
No place for a players name.
Almost no instructions.
What words do appear are in some foreign language.

I fully expected to delete this after 5 minutes, but I will be using a coupon for this one.

I recommend this game!
Rediscover Red Riding Hood in an adventure with a surprisingly original twist based loosely on the tale by Charles Perrault!

I lasted about 5 minutes.
The graphics are the worst I've seen in years. Characters cannot even move. In the first scene where Red walks toward you it is all stop action.
Game had a blackout screen in order to reload before the first HOG.
That is as far as I got. I will be interested to read what others have to say.

Tile play was smooth.
But waiting to load every board got old very fast - sometimes there were two loads between boards.
Too cute for me.
I don't recommend this game.
Springfield has never been spookier! See the Costume Parade, Ghostly Museum, Dracula's Castle and Haunted Hotel in this superb Halloween adventure.

I lasted all of 10 minutes. Mini games were very easy. HOPs were colorful, but boring.
Be sure to try this one before you buy.

Every time I started to get into it, the game would stop and somebody would start talking.
Beautiful graphics and a responsive cursor, but I only played the demo for 1/2 hour.
However, I am sure many other will love it so I will recommend the game.

I enjoyed the game - nice and relaxing with good graphics. But It was shamefully short for a CE. Hardly worth the money.
I don't recommend this game.
It was supposed to be a routine mission. But when a dragon attacks your plane, crash-landing in a lush valley, you're drawn into the adventure of a lifetime!

Seems like it to me. I loved the early ones - but I was very happy when this game was finally over.
The best part was the excellent HOPs - great variety.
Pretty graphics but blurry at times.
Confusing story line that made little sense.

Many of the puzzles had several steps or layers. I found that if you skipped one you skipped them all! Not good.
Puzzles were repeated - I've always thought that was just plain laziness on the part of the developer.
And too many puzzles were extremely easy - just matching shapes.

I do not think I will be buying another CE in this series.

I am going against popular opinion but I hated this game. Lasted about 10 minutes.
I could not stand the talking (reading?) that occurred between each level. And, as another reviewer mentioned, you had to make all kind of useless matches to move the board.
As always - try before you buy.
