Bought this game when Big Fish first released it and have played it over & over.
It's fun that you can pretty much design your own farm and there are many levels to achieve and fun products to make with all the produce you grow.
It's a very addictiing game and loads of fun for the whole family.

We purchased this game a while ago and not as the Daily Deal. It is a very fun game.
You get to take care of your animals by feeding, cleaning up, bathing, playing and caring for them when they are sick.
Seeing it listed makes us want to play it again!
Try the demo and see how much fun it is!

At first we were not thrilled with the game. There was too much talking. although the voice overs were very good and you did have a skip option.
As the adventure continued we got more caught up in the story and found you really didn't want to skip the scenes. There were a couple of unexpected moments that you wouldn't want to miss.
There are volume controls for music, sound effects, environment and voice. Game modes of casual & expert.
You can choose full screen and custom cursor.
There is a journal <you can replay the movies>, a map that shows you were you are and places that have actions. There is something else with the map, but we didn't figure that out in the demo.
There is a strategy guide, but we did not use it.
The graphics are beautiful with intense colors!
The voice overs are excellent and the environment sounds are fantastic!
The hidden object scenes are not too difficult and some have scenes within scenes. different & fun.
The mini games and/or puzzles had instructions <almost too many instructions in casual mode> but were fun and somewhat of a challenge even with all the instructions.
All in all, the game is very good and we got caught up in the story by the end of the demo and want to know what happens, what is special about the map, want to play more of the games and see more of the fantastic graphics.
Soooooo ... a free game credit will be used to add this game to our collection.

Thought this was a great game & used a free game credit to purchase as soon as we finished the demo.
There are volume controls for music, sound & voice.
You can choose levels for "eye candy". There is full screen and choice of custom cursor.
Game modes of casual or advanced.
The beginning movie had us interested in the story right away and the clever way of getting the combination to the safe had us interested in continuing the adventure.
Although, the ghosts encountered in the demo were not really of the spooky type, however, seeing your own name on a coffin while conversing with the undertaker ghost was a bit creepy!
We are writing this based on the demo as we haven't finished playing the game, so cannot comment on length of play. 3 ghosts were encountered & helped in the hour the demo was played.
The hidden object scenes and games were not all that difficult. There is a journal that keeps track of the story and helps you know what to do next to advance in the game.
The graphics are good and the voice overs not annoying.
Game play was smooth with "eye candy" marked medium.
This game is a good addition to our collection. Try it, but give the whole demo a chance. It gets better the further you get in the story.

This game was awesome. The developers were very creative in making the incredible devices come to life!
There is a statement to play with sound and that would be true. The noises the gadgets & machines make take you there and you feel like part of the story.
There are volume controls for sound, music & voice.
You can choose full screen and custom cursor.
The graphics and mechanical sound effects are fantastic.
The beginning movie gets you started on the story and it's easy to get caught up in it.
There are tutorials, a journal & a task list.
There was a picture that showed 4 levels and a key cabinet that showed 6 rooms in the house you are in.
The hidden object scenes were not typical. You had to find a certain number of objects, as in color, shape, etc.
None were very difficult.
The mini games encountered were quite fun.
One room has theatre scenes and those challenges were great! The unpredictable robot is a hoot and we can't wait to encounter her again.
We had 20 minutes left when the demo finished. Even though this could mean it's a short game, we know this is a buy for us. Only decision now is which version ... Standard or Collector edition.
The game was so much fun and we are curious as to the ending. We may purchase the Collector version just to have more play time and to have the fantastic sound tracks.
Again, we thought this was an incredible game!

We first tried this playing on-line and it was fun.
Thought we would try out the full version game.
It was ok for a while and the puzzles were fun to solve.
After about a half hour, it was enough.
We won soooooo many prizes and cars!
Will continue to play the on-line version when we want to win more!

This is a fun little game for everyone in the family!
There are different levels of game play to achieve set goals to advance to the next level. You can also replay levels any time you want to beat your best time.
There are trophies to win by accomplishing such things as chasing away so many sheep, earning $1000 in one level, planting so many plants, etc.
There is a bit of clicking involved. You can buy items at the store to help out in this area.
All in all, it's a fun game to waste some time during your day at a Daily Deal price!

This is a good game and it's now on our buy list. However, not sure if will buy collector or standard edition.
There are volume controls for voice & music.
You can select full or wide screen and custom cursor.
Game modes of casual, advanced or expert.
The movie at the beginning was very good and brought you into the story right away.
There are no voice overs and there is a good amount of reading. The music and sound were not memorable.
The graphics are excellent and the hidden object scenes are not cluttered. They are interactive. The casual mode had sparkles to quick in the search, so the interactive parts were not hard at all.
The mini games encountered were not difficult.
There is a journal that shows how long you have played and recaps the story. You can also replay any movies from the story line.
The extras are your normal music, wallpapers, extra play, etc. There also shows to be extra puzzles and HOS.
Two ghosts were met and their "wishes" fulfilled in the time we played the demo. Am not sure if that's 2 chapters of 6 or if there is still a bit of time left in the game play.
All in all, it is a fun game, although not very challenging.

The game starts out with an intriguing cut scene that had us interested in the story.
There are volume controls for music & sound.
You can choose full screen and custom cursor.
There are game modes of casual & expert.
There is a "faint of heart" warning at the beginning.
There are tabs for tasks, inventory, documents and a map.
There is a lot of back & forth in the game, but that adds to the challenge of remembering where to go & what needs to be done to advance in the adventure.
You had to collect health packs to get strength for performing some actions.
The graphics are good, although lacking in color. Every now & again a movie would add some interest in to the story line. Made it very interesting.
There are no voice overs, but minimal text to read.
The hidden object scenes are interactive and not cluttered.
The first mini game of figuring out the door code was a bit frustrating and took a lot of time from the demo because we didn't want to use the skip option. We did succeed and then the 2nd mini game also was a challenge.
At that point, it was decided to purchase the game so there would be time to complete games without skipping and add some fun hours of play to the purchase.
There were a couple scenes that had a "jump" factor and were a bit scary.
The game is being downloaded as this review is being written, so we haven't finished game play, but will be going there soon to finish that mini game!
An actual game credit was used instead of a free game credit so we could take advantage of getting the extra punch on our card.

We purchased this game some time ago before games could be reviewed, so we started it over to see what it was like.
There are volume controls for sound effects and music.
The music was not annoying.
There were no voice overs and minimal text to read.
You can choose full or wide screen and custom cursor.
The game modes are casual or advanced.
There is a journal that keeps track of info found in letters and papers in your travels. There is also a task list.
The graphics were good. Some of the hidden object scenes were a bit challenging <not because of clutter or poor graphics...the items were well hidden> and we did use the hints. The hints filled quickly in casual play mode.
There was quite a bit of back & forth to play puzzles after finding inventory items you needed.
The puzzles were fairly simple and fun.
Rarely do we finish a game in one sitting so we have not made it to the end to know how many chapters there are.
We have played for a bit over an hour and are in chapter 2.
The story line is about finding parts of an amulet to keep "evil" from being released after it has been locked up for hundreds of years.
There are some ghosts flying about, although we haven't encountered any scenes that are overly creepy or demonic.
All in all this is a fun game with a bit of a challenge.
We are glad we purchased it, even though it wasn't at a Daily Deal price.
