I have already posted this in the review forum but:
If you do not like cutscenes this is not the game for you. If you are like me and enjoy cutscenes this is a great game. Breaking up the hidden objects amongst different rooms added to the challenge. Also, you had a reason for finding the objects that tied into the story. Not just look for 20 things to get the 1 you actually need. It is still an interesting story and beautiful graphics (the live action fits in much better then past attempts). It is not the best MCF game there is, but it is not the worst. The bonus is an extra area that unlocks morphing objects. If you like longer CE content then wait for the SE.

I couldn't help buying this after the demo. There are four different environments in which you build up different amusement parks. The game doesn't really give you a story or rationale behind it, but it doesn't really need to. There are goals you need to achieve by; creating zones, designing your park to market to specific groups, having certain rides or attractions, and/or earning a specific amount of money a day. You get to decide what goals to work on, and sometimes you have to achieve one or two other goals before another one can be achieved. I like that you can choose what goals you want to work on, having the same goals in the same order over and over again makes the game less re-playable and more tedious for me. There is strategy in how you arrange your rides, attractions, concessions, and decorations. You have a finite amount of space and you need to make sure that not only everything you need fits but that people can actually get to the building.
I recommend this game!

As far as RPG games go this is no Aveyond or Skyborn but its not that bad either. The story seems to be pretty typical for these kinds of games. Boy thinks his girlfriend is dead but actually she has had her memory erased and been thrown in a slum. There is a dark and ominous group out to get them. The battles are pretty simplistic, as are the puzzles (there have not been many so far). There are some side quests as well. I like that they actually highlight where they have hidden things with sparkles (saves time searching for them).The tutorial is a book that you can choose to read if you want.
For people that are new to RPG games it is a good starter game to play. Overall, if you have a free game token, it is a daily deal, or you are itching for a new RPG I would recommend this game.
I recommend this game!

This game was a disappointment compared to the two previous games. The game was far to short, as an SG it was alright it was definitely not worth it as a CE. The visuals had the same wonderful quality most Drawn games have. The puzzles were far to simple and the story was not well developed. The premise seemed fine but the game was so short it did not have much time to develop. If it is a daily deal or you have a punch card credit you need to use then go for it otherwise hold on to your money for a game that is a little more of a challenge.
I don't recommend this game.
