This was one of the best games I have played in a long time. The graphics are beautiful. The story was excellent. The voice overs were great. It even had some humor which I really loved. This would be a really good game to play with the family. It was not very hard but I enjoy games that are just relaxing. I would have loved to share this game with a kid maybe age 6 or 7 and up. It was a beautiful fairy tale. It had bad guys but they were defeated without any violence. The puzzles were VERY unique but I didn't find any of them hard. It took me about 4 hours to finish the game (in one sitting cause I couldn't pull myself away from it). In conclusion, I think it had everything a good game should have.
I recommend this game!

This looked like a game that I would enjoy (I really like these older style puzzle games) but I could not install it. It wanted me to uninstall my up to date version of Direct X and install an older version. It would not work with my current version. I know this is a technical problem but as I can see it, I would hope that this would deter someone not "in the know" from answering yes to changing their Direct X just to play this game.
I don't recommend this game.

This is absolutely the best game I have played in a long time. Excellent story, lots and lots of new puzzles, great graphics, achievements to find and accomplish, and it took me 11.5 hours to complete. I'm not sure what more the CE edition could have added to this great version. I went back and played it through again to see how long it would take knowing the answers to everything and even then it took over 4 hours to finish. What more can I say. If you are looking for a HOG this is not it. If you are looking for puzzles and adventure, you have found it.
I recommend this game!

If you like a combo of HO and Time Management then you will probably like it. For me? It was too complicated and I don't like timed anything. I like to sit and relax while playing adventure and HO's. I played for about 30 minutes and still didn't have a clue as to what was going on. I recommend that you give this game a try, it's just not for me.
I recommend this game!

If you like the Fairway Sol games you will love this. Graphics are beautiful, game play is smooth, and sounds are great! Easy to learn and fun to play. I have played both Fairway games all the way through so many times that I'm bored silly with them. This game will take their place quite nicely. It has a lot of the same elements but with new twists. Every thing is themed really well and the story is a nice litte diversion..
I recommend this game!

If you like looking for little bits of color that are actually objects hidden behind other stuff, or if you like lots of talking by the main character than this might be for you. I could not find half of the objects without hints and even when I used a hint I could not see the object. I just found most of them by clicking randomly in the general area. I play games while watching TV so all of the many dialogs were very annoying. I just found this game very tedious and annoying and didn't finish it.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a unique match three game and that's hard to say about any of them. I wish I could find more like it. Instead of clicking on existing matches you move the stones around to make matches and move a cute little fur ball guy through the screens. It starts out easy and progressively gets harder. It has really cool power ups (bombs, rockets lightening, etc.) and each screen is different. There are 117 levels, 4 of which are only revealed by finding all 300 coins. I have played this game over and over again and still love it.
I recommend this game!
