I played all of the original series of Awakening and loved the Remastered Dreamless Castle. Now, the Remastered Moonfell Wood falls short in a number of areas: 1) The Strategy Guide has minuscule pictures with no helpful tips at all. 2) Many of the puzzles are busywork at best, more like occupational therapy than brain teasers. It's all just putting broken stuff back together again. Boring. 3)The game has stopped for me in an HOP with a paintbrush that cannot be "collected" to continue the game. I see others have posted reviews about the game freezing up on them in various places as well. Hope this gets fixed, and the third installment is as good as the first.
I have all of the Park Ranger and Cruise Director games. Love them all! This new edition was more challenging which I liked. I enjoy the returning characters and the addition of new adventures. I gave just a "Good" review for the storyline, though. While I realize the creators are trying to be as diverse as possible to attract a wide audience, I chuckled at one national park so diverse that it included alpine, swamp, and pueblo/desert geography all bundled into one. I also feel the Hallmark Channel romance a bit of an unnecessary arc. Lastly, thank you for eliminating the "Completed Game in Less Than 5 Hours" patch. When you're playing a game you enjoy this much, you are in no hurry to finish it!

I was so happy to see this game polished up for today's technology and presented to the fans of this series. The gameplay is enjoyable as are the updated visuals. Unlike some reviewers here, I did not mind that the storyline and indvidual games were not altered from the original. To me, it was like visiting an old friend. I hope the other games in the series receive the same remastering. I will play them all!
