I can only assume that the previous 4 reviewers, after having played the complete game, had better luck in the decorating the tree and house scene than I. After many tries, the angel would not go from Emma's hand onto the tree. I really wanted to purchase this game. Does the CE have the same glitch? I have most of the Casual Arts games and really like them, but, Darn!
I don't recommend this game.

I still like these games, though I grew tired of the snow in this one. Dion has put on a few pounds in his seniority. (I played number 14, standard edition, so I missed the Puerto Rico trip. And 14 is a better game than this one, in my opinion.) A mutual lunch/dinner invite and I think my character and Mr. Ranger are a thing. There is not much motion such as birds flying, waterfalls, animals moving and I miss that. (Cat and I can watch that stuff for hours.) There are still many clever touches to be enjoyed in #13. Overall, this edition is worth purchasing and playing.
I recommend this game!

I really enjoy the clever movement of creatures, water, boats etc. And funny scenes such as the senior hikers' tent pitched within feet of a bear lure and trap. And weird, scary animal/animal as well as animal/human encounters such as a wolf approaching unsuspecting picnickers. What is the 'personal business' that my character and the other Ranger have to conduct? #15 surely has the answer.
I recommend this game!

My favorite Ranger, Dion ,has been working out and shaved his skull. Remember, he apprehended an armed poacher in #7. These games are what they are. I enjoy the creativeness and fun in these games. A Tazmanian Devil in the wildlife park, hungry bears coming down the hill toward picnickers.....
I recommend this game!

I have these games. I like these games.
But this one is dull, colorless and uninteresting.
I don't recommend this game.

Really like the part where the Ranger enters the poacher camp with the bear, the wolf and the German Shepherd dog to teach the bad guy a lesson. Ranger disarmed the poacher and cuffed him. Yes, we are playing the same game . There are birds flying, bears stalking deer, gondolas moving up and down the slopes...The cat and I can watch for hours. Love these games.
I recommend this game!

Really missed the PuppetShow games. But, too short. Would pay by the month for this series/game to go on and on.
I recommend this game!
