Did not like this game... I just wanted it to be over! A lot of 5's were given to this (which is why I bought it), but not in my opinion. Easy puzzles & hog's. Map tells you where you're "current task" is at, but you still have to look in random rooms for needed objects. Sorry, but for me there are sooooo many better games!!!
I don't recommend this game.

What a beautiful place...love the vibrant colors (I'm really tired of all the dreary, dull artwork in some of the games I've played). I really enjoyed so many aspects of this game! 1) Some of the HOG's were very unique, and they all had some interaction play to them. 2) Some of the puzzles were easy & boring, but some were really unique! 3) Nice story, with a nice ending. 4) I left the sound on the whole game...very easy to listen to, and voice-overs were very good. 5) Loved the map...very easy movement. 6) Different helpers gave you different advantages. 7) You change characters multiple times between Ellie & Ian, which added a different dimension. 8) For me, the best part was that it gave multiple stopping places throughout the game! So many games you need to play without stopping (at least I do) then when you come back the next day you can't remember where you need to go. All in all, I enjoyed it...a mini "vay-cay" for me!
I recommend this game!

It was good, but (in my opinion) certainly not great! But then, that may be my fault...I played on the simplest level, which made it...well, too simple. Between the map and the sparkles, you just followed the directions, no need to use your brain (or hints) at all! There weren't very many puzzles or mini-games (too bad for me, that's my favorite part). The puzzles that they did have were VERY easy. When I play it again I'll play it on the HARD level, maybe then it will be a 5!!!
I recommend this game!

I bought this because I LOVED "Weird Park: Broken Tune CE" My disappointment in this game was that it really didn't have that Carnival/Fair type feel. Don't get me wrong, it was a good game. If you've played WP:BT (which is 100% inside a rundown carnival) and are expecting a similar story/venue, you may be disappointed. This time the story is about children that have been taken and turned into fairytale-type dolls (Cinderella, Aladdin...). I always muted until Louis the Clown showed up (he's the typical scary clown from your childhood), he was pretty creepy. The length of the game was surprisingly long, and I didn't even have the CE this time. It is a game I recommend, I just had hoped it was still in the carnival atmosphere.
I recommend this game!

Good game for beginners and kids, not alot of back & forth running around so you can't really get lost. Good hint system, shows you the room to go to next. Simple HOG's and puzzles. Cute storyline and beautiful artwork. Definitelly worth buying on special!
I recommend this game!

I obviously am not a Match 3 lover (soooooooooooo boring), but I really have no idea how people could have given this 5 stars. It would be a cute game for a child, but it's too simplistic for my taste.
I don't recommend this game.

Old School HOG! Very repetitive and simplistic. My favorite part was reading the postcards, but as a game...I've played better. I would only recommend to beginners, kids, or to get traveling tips for Paris.
I recommend this game!

I played Lagoona 1 and Lagoona 2 back to back, and Lagoona 2 is much, MUCH better!!! In fact, I probably won't play 1 again, but will play 2 many times over! More puzzles, more HOG's, and my personal favorite "Seek and Sprint" (and if you find Gwendolyn the fairy godmother she'll give you bonus games).
I recommend this game!

This is a good game, but Lagoona 2 (which I played them back to back) is much better! Now that I've completed both games in their entirety, I probably won't play this one again. Lagoona 2 has sooooo many more puzzles, I played hours on the "Seek and Sprint" and completed all levels (Gwendolyn gives a bonus seek and sprint to complete in 45 min.) If you only have $$$ for one, go straight to Tales of Lagoona 2:Peril at Poseidon Park...you'll thank me later!
