Honestly, I used to LOVE these types of games. For the most part there is too many.. So, I hardly play them anymore. This game has NO voice overs - at least for me. Maybe, I have some kind of glitch - very slow download and my internet connection is lacking. But, I find this game interesting for some reason. The hidden object game is finding parts to make a whole. It feels like part of the game instead of a distraction. The game makes you think - All and All I am really enjoying this game and I am still playing it around my work schedule. Give it a shot - cool game.
I recommend this game!

I have the first one and knew I would be buying this as soon as I seen it. Casual play, but not like the other hidden object type games.
You fulfill quests and get rewarded along the way that helps you uncover new land to explore. The main quest is to save your sister from the pirates.
Also, it has an interactive map and you can travel back to anywhere that you have uncovered previously.
I recommend this game!

I wanted to buy this, because i have all of the other puppet shows and we liked them a lot. My issue is, in my opinion as a female it is not OK to be showing all this cleavage in a game or a movie. I don't condone it and don't want to buy into it. I want a game that doesn't need that to sell it (movies also). I was so looking forward to playing this game (I played the demo). But, I couldn't hardly stand playing it because of the above issue.
I was going to buy it and give it a 5 star.. But, unfortunately it is a no go for me.

I only played for a little while. But, I want more color or drama to the artwork and the feel of the game.
I like the fact that once you get the right squares checked.. the game is done.. you don't have to fill in all of the X's. Big plus for me.
One game that I played wasn't all logic. to finish the game you had to purely guess between two choices. There should never be any guess work. Just, logic and process of elimination.
For some reason i will mix my tools up and use the wrong tool on a square and lose the game.. hate that.
I would still rather play the game with paper and pencil..
I recommend that people try it.
I recommend this game!

I just finished the game... I agree with another person on here.. The game reminds me of the Myst games. Which, is the first adventure game I have ever played. So, I loved the look of the world and the areas.
PROS
Very long game
Beautiful Graphics - Wonderful world - draws you in.
Cut-scenes keep the story-line going. keeps you interested.
Morphing object scenes. (instead of standard HO)
find the circled images in a scene. (instead of standard HO)
No repeated HO's scenes, as far as i remembered.
Transport machines. To transport you to another area
CONS
A little to much dialog - but not extreme.
Cut-scenes are choppy.. - But, I can live with that.
MAP - but cannot be used for transportation. Have to use the transport stations throughout the game but you are limited to transporting to other stations. cannot just go anywhere.
Try it:)
If you wanted something different.. or you liked the Myst series. I am more than satisfied with my experience.
I recommend this game!

Many years ago, I used to play push the box type of games. So, after playing for an hour, I immediately purchased the game. It is rare to see these games anymore. Nice change of pace.
The game starts out super simple... but give it some time and strategy is needed. Very enjoyable game. It is cute and the graphics are good in a cartoonist way. Not overly difficult and gives the new comers time to learn what is needed before the difficulty increases.
I think the game will appeal to a wide range of gamer's from children to adults. The only downside that I see is that the game has only 100 levels and I am almost on level 70
addictive for sure and I am enjoying this game. I will finish this game and put it the back burner and play it again sometime.
Give this game a chance.. play it for more than 5 minutes before passing judgement. That is only fair to the gamer's and the dev's..
two thumbs up....
I recommend this game!

I actually give this a 4.5 stars.
Cons -
Storyline... have no clue, I saved someone at the end of the game and it was a little too silly for me.
Some hand holding
No map, but don't need one. Not to much back tracking
Easy to Medium game.
Pros -
Storyline... Enjoyed the game anyway. Didn't care what the storyline was.
FROG .. Love finding fragments of items. I can tell some thought and work went into these. They are like mini-games. You use everything that you find unlike regular Hogs.
Futuristic setting.. Really enjoyed the different worlds. Cool Train and other futuristic machines.
Flow of game went smoothly and help Button worked good
Relaxing and interesting game and it was definitely long enough for me. I spent several hours just enjoying it.
I recommend this game!

Disclaimer: I played for 13 minutes only... in that time I completed 4 Hog scenes.. 2 of which was the back trunk of the wrecked car.... BORING.. I completely forgot what the story-line was about.
The clown is super cute. But, not enough to overlook so many HOS in the first part of the game. Had to stop playing.
If you love Hidden Object scenes.. then I highly recommend this game.
I do recommend everybody to try it.. has beautiful graphics and it may get better.
I recommend this game!

Older game... Older graphics.. but still impressive. This is a huge game - took me days. I consider myself a pretty good player, but this game confused me at times on where to go.
1. There are killing and an apparent suicide (But, no blood and guts)
2. There are Glitches sometimes I would have to go back some to be able to go forward.. But, it is workable and I don't have the best computer.
3. If i reduce the game to consult a walk-through which I had to do a few times (which is irritating). When I would go back to the game My character would be solid gray until I went to a new screen. Than she would be back to normal.
4. Harem at the palace with virtually naked women.. very insulted by that. I dropped a star for that. Apparently Sokal's target market was not me!
5. For people who get sea sick with 3d worlds where you can pan around. This game is not like that you can't pan around you only go in one direction. There are some mini games involving your character and the leopard that puts you into a 3D world with panning around some.. but it is limited and kind of choppy.
6. There are some interesting creatures.. that are cute in this game, And the black leopard is beautiful.
7. A lot of dialog in places. Could of been reduced down quite a bit. Also, had a difficult time understanding what some people would say and there were no closed caption. There may have been an option for this - I don't know.
I can't recommend or not recommend this game. There are better games. If I had a trial, I wouldn't of bought it. But, since I did buy it, I played it already through. I much prefer the game "Return to Mysterious Island"..

Based on Demo
I have never played RISK before, not even the board game. I started off on easy and won. So, I started a new game on medium... I think I was losing when my hour ended. So, being totally new to this game I felt it was very challenging. And, that this is a strategy game that will be a little bit different every time you play it.
The hour flew by and this game is very addicting. I think it would of been a little bit more exciting if it had more bells and whistles. I actually give this game a 4.5 stars. Probably will wait awhile before I buy it. I recommend people to try it. I first ignored the game when BF picked it up. Looked boring to me... I was surprised by it.
I was earning cards and had no idea what to do with them.. eventually I found out because I had too many cards and the game made me get rid of some. I am like ahhh! now I understand. You can earn more men to fight when you have the right set of cards.
I recommend this game!
