I am not sure why this game has such low ratings. If you look at the screenshots & read the description - it is obvious that this game doesn't require a strategy guide and is one of the old time HOGs, so why not just move on instead of giving good games bad ratings? I am very happy that we are starting to see more games where there are no guides involved.
I stopped after Level 2 of the demo. Really no challenge to the game. Just click on almost everything in the scene and do it over again. Will not be finishing the demo or buying.
I agree with the other reviewers that the hangman is the best part of this game. The game itself gets to be very boring after you had played the same scenes over and over and nothing moves and the hidden items are mostly the same. I did purchase the game, but should have saved the money.
Normally I love basic hidden object games, but this one is so boring that I didn't even finish the free trial. Nothing is "hidden", everything is very large and in plain sight. Would not recommend.
I usually love games by Boomzap, but this one is a waste of money and time. Even at the hardest level, it was easier than any other game by this developer. Normally you have to play the same scene 5 times. This game you just play them over and over and over before you can get to the Collection Edition extra levels. When I finally got to the CE levels, there were 2 new scenes at each level, but the rest of the level were the same scenes I had already played too many times. I would not recommend anyone waste their money to buy the CE. Very disappointed.
I didn't have any of the issues the other reviewers talked about (too small/too dark/to grainy). Perhaps because I was playing on a gaming desktop. I found the game very enjoyable and would recommend.
Whenever I see a new Vacation Adventures, I automatically purchase it without playing the demo. In my opinion, this is the best HOG, and they need to release new chapters sooner.
I was excited that players were saying this was similar to vacation adventures, so I didn't even do the trial, I just bought it. Luckily I had a game credit, because in my opinion the game was terrible. Very slow play. The "hidden" objects were 4 times larger than anything else on the screen.
