This is a very good game.
It's not frustrating, it's rather relaxing, although highly addictive.
Plan for many hours of fun playing this game.

This is a great game and I foresee many hours of fun for adults and the kids!
The game is similar to My Kingdom for a Princess and that game was also great!
You can continue to play after your quest for the gold level or you can play all in a not timed mode.
There are fun achievements to aquire.
That said, this game is a purchase for us!

I know the write up about the game doesn't say it's a sequel, but since the first Tiger Eye game was so great and ended with a "to be continued", we thought it might be.
This was a good game and was fun, although didn't think it as good as the first one. However, that being said, the first one is over a couple years old, so maybe I should play that one again for a true comparison.
Anyway, there are 3 different modes of play. You need to obtain 20 hint points to play in expert.
There are a lot of mini games & puzzles. None of which have been very difficult. You also need to pick up random items to advance in the game. There are not true hidden object scenes, at least in the demo.
The voice overs, graphics and sound are very good. There is not as much of a story line to follow as in the first game.
This was a purchase for us, since we like puzzles and we truly hope we find out what happens to Dela & Hari at the end of this game.
Try the demo and decide, but also try the demo for the original game.

This game is as awesome as the first Gardenscapes game.
You get to name the dog and enter a variety of contests to win prizes for Austin the butler.
The little conversation bubbles are a hoot. Austin will also play fetch with the dog, dust the furniture, feed the bird and a variety of household tasks.
You get to furnish and repair the mansion with dollars from sales. You can play timed or untimed. Either way is a lot of fun and this game is fantastic.
If you haven't played the first Gardenscapes, you will want to try that one too.
Great fun for the whole family!

Played the demo and liked the game, although there were quite a few demonic visuals.
The hint system with the arm was quite unusual.
The hidden object scenes and puzzles encountered in the demo were fairly easy.
There were lots of inventory items to use and different powers could be obtained for the "arm"
Would like to see how the story ends, but based on the other reviews on the length of the game and what is included in the extras, we will be waiting for the single edition to be released.

The game is fun and has many items to find & use.
There are controls for sound & music. Choices for full screen, wide screen, low quality & custom cursor.
Game choices of casual, advanced & hard.
The voice overs are a bit cheesy, but the graphics are very good. The music is appropriate for a pirate theme.
The hidden object scenes are interactive, although a bit cluttered.
There are pearls to find to repair a necklace and gives some history on the story.
The mutant shrimp/lobster should be left in the well as he moves around a bit to much. LOL
The mini games encountered were not too difficult.
In the demo section that can be viewed without the full game, it does show that mini games can be replayed.
Really liked this game, but there was a Collector edition released just 2 days ago, so may wait until May or until after the SE is released to purchase, as we are putting this on our buy list.

This review is based on the demo and that hour went by too quickly! The game is fun.
There are controls for music & sound. Selections for full screen, wide screen & customer cusor.
Game play choices of normal or expert.
The graphics and sound are very good. There are no voice overs, journal or map.
You get to "talk" with skeltons an determine what they need to continue on with their dreams. The interaction is creepy, but in a fun sort of way. There are some creepy skeleton flying heads and a grim reaper.
The hidden object areas were not too difficult nor were the puzzles. There was a skip option for the puzzles and the hint system worked well for the hidden objects.
All in all, this is a fun game and is on our buy list.

Based playing the demo, the game was ok.
Game play choices of casual or expert.
Volume controls for music & sound. A choice of full screen, wide screen, mute & custom cursor.
There is a journal with sections for evidence (much to find), characters and the story (5 chapters).
There is a map (not interactive) that shows where the HO scenes are, evidence, where to investigate, your location and areas that are completed.
There is a task list and a hint button. This is available for HO scenes only, but we didn't find it was needed elsewhere.
Some of the HO scenes are interactive and you can leave the scene by clicking on the list. The scenes encountered in the demo were fairly easy, as were the puzzles.
The cursor changes to a camera if you need to take a pic of the scene, a puzzle piece for solving a puzzle and an ear if you can listen in on other conversations.
The voice overs were ok and all characters with the exception of yourself had them. Your speech was the pick a question to ask type of conversation. Not a fave of ours and the speech bubbles moved back & forth on the screen. There were also bugs & stuff that moved in HO scenes.
The demo was completed with 21 minutes left. There probably would have been more time left, except for the fact that there was a slow load time between locations.
The music was ok. The best part was the story line and this is on our list as a buy if a purchase is needed to fill a game card or it comes out as a daily deal.
The game is worth trying and fairly easy to move around without any hints. If you have cleared an area, a message comes up that there is nothing left to do there.
All in all, an interesting game because of the story, although a bit slow.

Owning the other 3 PuppetShow games (Souls of the Innocent, Lost Town and Mystery of Joyville) and loving them, this was a buy as a collector edition.
The graphics, sound and game play were all great.
It's been a while since we played the first ones, but seem to remember them as being a bit better than this one.
The only really annoying item in this game is the constant need to open the fan that contains the inventory items.
That may have been in the others and would have also been annoying. Will play those again, soon.
All in all, it's a good game with somewhat of a creepy factor and a couple of times during game play, we had a scare.
It will be another addition to our Collector game collection.

This game is so much fun!
There is a lot to do in the game play, eggs to collect, cute creatures to evolve and goals to achieve.
You can play in story mode and after that is complete you can play challenge mode or replay levels of the story.
We purchased this quite a while ago and have played many times.
One of the achievements is to acquire and evolve all the little creatures from the eggs collected. We still have 2 eggs left to obtain, so will continue playing until that goal is met.
The game is very addicting and so much fun!
The music is nice and the voice over in the story is pleasant.
At the end of completing the adventure, there is a book graphic that is titled "Faerie Solitaire 2". Will be a buy.
