I agree with many of the reviewers here, this game can be fun and addicting. You progress by completing areas and opening new worlds. It can be challenging! In order to move forward to a new area, you must have a certain amount of coins to enter the next level and the amount gets higher with each new level you reach. This is where real money comes in only if you do not want to wait and build up your coins to open the next world. Opening new worlds can be expensive. Sometimes there are offers to buy coins using real money. I don't buy. I simply play until I gain enough coins to enter the next world. But, my issues are not with the money requests. Yes it's repetitive, I play one level many times to reach required money goals. My issue is this, it's suppose to be a game to play with in-game friends. I have yet to receive a request from anyone in-game with whom to play. It's a challenge playing by yourself. "I recommend this game with conditions, beware of purchasing requests that can last a few days and have you own cadre of friends".
I recommend this game!

I can only piggy-back on all the reviews already given. This is simply a great family game. I've been playing Dragon Keeper Part 1 and Dragon Keeper Part 2 for a while now and had thought I'd reviewed it. The only thing left to say is " give these games a chance". There are hours of great fun.
I recommend this game!

Magic Farms 2 really is a fun family game. It offers a challenge in the form of various bugs out to devour your garden. The bugs are mean, swift, and hungry. You have to keep them water too or they will die very quickly. Robin the dragon is a great helper and he upgrades automatically to become an efficient bug fighter. He also collects and water your flowers as well. At first, he is rather slow but the more you play, he upgrades. The scenery is very well done with beautiful exotic flowers. My challenge was trying to create various bouquets before the time expired. I love the variety of gardens and the various places I must visit to complete the board. I love this game. The only downside is this, after a certain level, my game stopped working. I went back to the game manager and the game had erased itself. All my other games in the game manager are working well so, it's not my computer. Now, I have to start all over again. I may do this later-on but right now, I'M DONE!
I recommend this game for various reasons, its fun, the scenery is beautiful but can be challenging. It's a great game for beginners, intermediates, and experts who like this game genre.

I'm replaying this series again. I've got them all, so I am giving myself a marathon of the Awakening games. I've played this series for years and have enjoyed the fairy-tale story and the challenge the game presents. The scenery is visually enticing and inviting. The music and ambient sounds are pleasant to the ear. The HOS are beautifully done: Challenging but not cluttered. The interactive puzzles are challenging as well but not so difficult for this intermediate player to solve. I really enjoy playing the whole Awakening series of games. For those players who are stimulated visually by games that are beautiful but challenging, these games are for you.

close but your friends/family closer! The fire kingdom and the ice kingdom are at war. The fire king and the ice princess meet each other on the battle field and they instantly fall in love. The war is halted and peace reigns. The ice princess and Ashbringer the fire king, get married. The ice princess becomes Queen of the Fire Kingdom. Their love brings peace to the land. Now Ashbringer is suffering from a deadly illness. Crystals have taken over his body. Who could do such a dastardly deed? Who could be treacherous enough to try to kill the King? The Queen race against time to find a cure. She must stop and reverse the deadly crystals before they consume her beloved completely. This is a fun game. The scenery is exciting and beautiful. I loved the world of the Harbor Master. It's beautiful. I loved the undersea kingdom. It too was beautiful. The interactive puzzles are many and varied. And they weren’t too difficult for this intermediate player. My most challenging puzzle was the Ballista. This one tested me strategically and in way, mathematically. And the afterlife... just beautiful. It’s really a great game.
I recommend this game!

I love this game. You play as a young naive cowboy. He helps the town-folks with various jobs. You build houses, collect rent, capture crooks, etc. At first, I play it in untimed mode to get the feel of the game. Next, I try it at the time level. The game's various levels of play allows you to play the game multiple times. It's fun time management/family game. I love and recommend this game.

An elven king has finally awaken after a thousand years sleep. His kingdom is in disarray and his people don't know him nor trust him. He must prove himself to be their leader/king. You play as the elven king. You go on quests to various kingdoms (dwarves, ogres, humans, etc). I love the great places you visit. Some of the HOS can present a challenge as some of the objects are well camouflage. And, as you visit and conquer the various worlds, you win chests. Some of these chests are very difficult to open. For example, you must untangle lines to open one kind of chests, or place crystals in the appropriate place to open another, or using a clam shell, you must get out of the maze of pearls (but be careful you don't get trapped). You collect various valuable objects in you knapsack to help you as well: Timers, bag magnets to collect objects for you, and weapons to attack the various monsters. I play as an intermediate and once I got the gist of the game, I was in love. This is a really good adventure, time management, and hidden objects game. I've not seen it nor read about it on the Big Fish game site at all. So when I stumbled upon it I was very surprised and pleasantly so. I hope you like this game as much as I do.

with one hand tied behind its back. This is a fun but frustrating game. The scenery is simple but very beautifully done. The bugs...pesky, determined, sneaky, and mean. The higher the level the more difficult and challenging the bugs. You use various weapons, pea shooter, pumpkin blaster, corn shooter, cactus and various other plants to help you win. All of these can be upgraded to beat the dickens out of the bugs only if you use them strategically. You can play at 3 levels, Private, Sergeant, and General. Just when I think I have the right strategy, those sneaky bugs find a way to get through my defenses. I play at the Private level. One daughter plays at the Sergeant level and the other daughter plays at the Private level also. No one plays at the General level because...well, we're just plain scared. There are no words to say as to how much we enjoy trying to beat this game. This is great family fun. I recommend this game!

This game is similar to other games I've played but different too. You are the hero. You find out that your friend, Alison has become very ill. You come to visit her. But you find sitting in the living-room by the fire is a strange man. He looks unsavory and dangerous. He tells you that your friend has fallen victim to a mysterious sleep. He asks if you are a friend of Alison's. He tells you about a parallel world. It is there where you will need to go to help her. The request to save her is not issued as a challenge but more as a plea to save Alison if you are a true friend. What choice do you have? You take up the quest to free your friend from this magical sleep that will eventual take her life. You travel through portals to other worlds to find the culprit and to free your friend. The scenery is really beautiful. You find objects and make potions to help you along the way. Some of the interactive puzzles are familiar and some are not. I am an intermediate player so for me some of the scenes and interactive puzzles were challenging but not insurmountable. Oh dread...I hate snakes and the last scenes had snakes, YUCK!!! My nerves failed and I started to ask my daughter to finish the scenes with the snakes. But, I wanted to see what's going to happen to Alison and the wicked wizard. I was pleasantly surprised as to how much I enjoyed this game.

This is a great game. I loved it. The only problem is this, there is a glitch. My game wouldn't save. I'd reach a certain level and stop. When I logged back on, I'd have to start all over again. I wish they would fix it. It's a fabulous game. I can't recommend this game based on my experience only.
