Developers need to fix the computer screen in the beginning of the game. As someone else noted, I also couldn't play the game because I couldn't set the time clock on the computer to 2:00 EXACTLY. It moved in 3 second intervals. Also went onto the Forum and the answer there is bogus. Doesn't work.
Such as shame.
I don't recommend this game.

The graphics are very nice. I look at computer screens all day and my eyes tend to get tired, so reasonably sized and clear graphics are always a good thing for me. The storyline is cute. Can't say about the music, as I always mute it.
Level of challenge and replay is also good. Even early on, I had to replay several levels to get 3 stars. Some levels are very easy, others really require planning.
You can plan or "click" ahead. This is one of my major requirements. There are very few TM games I will purchase if they do not have this feature. Kills my enjoyment if I have to wait until the worker is completely done and returns to Home Camp before being able to perform another action.
There are 3 modes to play in as well. For those who want to take their time and not be timed, there is a mode for you. Also an Intermediate mode and an Expert mode.
I'm only half way through and am greatly enjoying the game.
Looking forward to a sequel.
I recommend this game!

I am enjoying the game. It does have cute graphics and a fun storyline. Game controls are responsive.
Only gave it four (4) stars for two reasons: 1) Couldn't replay levels for Expert and 2) So far, the character can only carry one item. Hoping there is an upgrade for that later on
I recommend this game!

What can I add that hasn't already been said? Fun storyline, great graphics, challenging levels that require planning, good replay, etc.
Love the entire series. One of the things I reeeally like about these games is that they allow you to click ahead.
Great job!! Hope to see another one soon!!
I recommend this game!

I have played all the games in this series and really enjoy them.
Nice graphics, new products, good replay.
Like all the other games in the series, it does require strategy, not just a click, click, click game
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the controls are a tad sluggish. You have to click multiple times to pick up a product sometimes and you have to click EVERY product produced. If memory serves, this wasn't the case for the factory produced items in the earlier games. Maybe it was and I just didn't notice because there was no lag time). This was annoying to me.
The other disappointing thing is that there is also noticeable lag time between picking up an item and it getting to the Warehouse.
Had this been the first game in the series that I had played, I would not have purchased it.
Despite the above, it was still enjoyable to me, as a fan of the series. Have misgivings about recommending it to anyone who is not a fan of the series
I don't recommend this game.

Thank you Big Fish! There aren't enough of this type of game offered.
I do understand that this isn't everybody's cup of tea. This is a classic style role playing game and for many, an acquired taste. Great for strategists, those who like adventure games, and hard core puzzle solvers who like to explore, build characters, and map things out. It does take patience.
If you prefer a more structured game, meaning one where you have to follow a directed path, this type of game may be frustrating.
If you wish to try something new and less structured, this is a good opportunity to do so.
For me, who owns the earlier games in the series, this one didn't disappoint.
Again, thank you!!
I recommend this game!

Beautiful Graphics. Interactive Map.
I too, am bored to tears with hidden object games where it is one screen after another of the same old thing.
This game is not like that. It has a wide variety of mini-games and different types of hidden object searches.
The mini-games are logical as well. Not too hard, but they do take some thought - just the way I like it :)
Great playability. Really enjoyed this one!
Great job guys!
I recommend this game!

Was looking for a good, old fashioned card game program.
Graphics are very nice. Can change backgrounds, decks, etc.
A lot of solitaire games, some you can modify to accommodate rule variations "you're" used to playing with.
If you're looking for a set of Solitaire games to play like the old Hoyle Card Games, this is the one for you.
I did read one of the other reviewers' comments about not being able to keep shuffling through the deck in Klondike?? as long as you wish to and do agree that can be annoying; however, there are sooo many games here, that I didn't find that to be a major drawback for me
Now . . . if we could only get one of these that is like the old Hoyle Board Games suite :)
I recommend this game!

Nice graphics, as with all the series
Challenging levels. Excellent replay. One of the things I like about the series is that you really have to plan out your moves and resources. "Click Ahead" is available btw.
I had to replay approx 33% of the levels because one needs to figure out what materials need to take priority. With that said, it's not like a game I recently played (won't mention the name) where there was only one solution to beat the level and it was frustrating rather than challenging. This is enjoyable, very satisfying when 3 stars are achieved, and adds to the playing experience IMHO.
Only thing I would improve is the new changeable shacks for personnel. Like it because it gave you more people for specific jobs like watering. Downside for me was two of the icons really didn't clearly depict the profession of the Miner and the Hunter as well as they could have. That made it a bit rough. The Farmer icon was very clear.
Still, really enjoyed the game, would recommend it, and will look forward to the next one.
I recommend this game!
