I love doing puzzles, but this has to be the most boring I've ever played. The music will put you to sleep. You can choose what size the pieces are. So you can choose how hard you want the puzzle to be. This is like most puzzle games, just more boring. Did I mention it was boring? Nuff said.
At last a HOA where you don't have to find your, brother, sister, parents, or other kin...just have to find yourself. I've only played the demo at this point, the end of the hour came so fast that it shocked me when my time was up. It seems as if this game will take a while to play. The music, after the intro, was nice to listen to. I played it low. I actually liked watching the cut scenes. Thats some thing I normaly skip. I would give the challenge a 3 1/2 stars. I could do all the mini games, and the HO scenes were easy. I played casual and the hint charges fast. When you click it it will kind of open a portal to where you need to go next. Yet, it's a great game to play. When my hour was up, I couldn't buy the game fast enough.
I was 30 minutes into the game and I bought it and finished it. It seems a little short but it has a mini game after you finish the main one. The visual is crystal clear, and the the music is good. I did keep it low, but I could still hear it. It's a nice combo of adventure and HO.

I don't mean to offend anyone, but I never jumped on the Elvis bandwagon. In some parts of the US those words could mean death, or at least a shunning Did anyone else notice the ceiling in the dining room? So much for accuracy, and so much for my meanderings, back to the game. Some of the HO scenes where grainy. The fish tank was the worst I saw. The sound I kept very low because I didn't want, You ain't nothing but a hound dog running through my head all day. I just hope I don't have to hear Blue Christmas. Even Elvis laughed at that one. Every thing seemed to be rather easy. The mini games were fun. Storyline? Well it's Elvis, go figure. I gave the game three stars because once you take Elvis out of the picture, it's an average game.

I wish I could give this game 3 1/2 stars. This is a nice little game to play when you want to pass some time. It's like a weak version of Cradle of Rome.

A game with a good balance of HO and mini games. The visuals were a bit grainy and made the HO part a little harder. You can find humming birds and other extras, as well as parts to a Mayan calander (must find the Mayan calender to finish the game). The music wasn't heinous, I just kept it low. The storyline is the same old, crash on a desert island stuff. But the end of the demo was cool.

I love these types of games. This is the best one I've seen since chromentium(sp?). It's very cartoony, which is ok in this type of game, and I can see the graphics better. Most are so small it's hard to see to where to place things. If some music annoys you, you'll want to turn the volume down on this one. The challange gets exponentialy harder with each game. Plot is simple...puppet thingy wants his head back and you have to get it to him. If you would rather zone out while playing a game, this might not be for you. But if you love to think yourself out of situations, you'll love this one.

It's not the best game I've ever played, but it's a good one. I rated the VO low because the accents were laughable. The guy at the gate sounded more Scottish than Italian. I don't mean he sounded Scottish but more that than Italian. I'm getting a little upset with those demos that stop at a predetermined time rather than let us play for a full 60 minutes. I usually end up with thirty minutes left. This game is no different. The challange was finding the things to get on with the game. Usually, you see something different that makes you look closer. The only way I found a metal stake was when I accidentally stopped the cursor over it when I was looking for something else. I found the mini games rather easy, but I really injoyed them. I'm just wondering how long this game is. I get the feeling that it might be short. I did buy it.

I bought this when my hour was up. I probably should give this game 5 stars. I have a nasty cold and my head's a bit foggy so I had some problems at first getting into the game. Judging by the amount of misspelt words that I'm having to correct I think my head is still a bit foggy. Anywho, I expected this game to be one of those dark ones with icky things to find. Dark yes, but injoyable. There are a lot of mini games that balances well with the HO. There was one thing surprising, some times when you find an object it goes into your inventory but it will have chains across it. You have to get the pieces to go with it brfore the chains will go away. Even with my bad cold I really injoyed this game.
I recommend this game!

I have a feeling that I've played this before. It's been a year or two. It's the telescope and the gated pictures, they just seem so familiar...I wish I could remember more... Now I'll be driven nuts about this, until I can figure it out. Does anyone out there know of an old game like this? I wasn't sure I would like this game, but I do like it. It dosn't have any HO, but it does have lots of puzzles that are fun to do. I only did the demo, but really became engrossed, and was upset that my hour was over...quick fix, I bought it.
