This was disappointing for me. I liked that it offered a bit different storyline, and I found the HO's pleasant enough, all in all very simple, and not nearly enough challenge or complexity. I just finished the demo, and will not buy this game.

This was the HO game that got me started way back when. I bought it for my grandchildren because I enjoyed it so much. I just noticed the trial deluxe version, and I can't wait to play it, so I am hoping that it is everything I remember and more! I have purchased all of the "I Spy" games for my grandkids, and this one was the best, imho.
I recommend this game!

Well, if you're kind of bored, it's an okay game. The graphics are what spoil this a little for me. The HO's are pretty murky. I don't mind a challenging HO and love those "Aha!" moments. These HO's are more like "What the...?" The hint button recharges slowly, which forces you to keep looking for objects that may not look at all like what you are used to. Clicking the screen too many times searching for something gives you a green fog. I wouldn't recommend this unless you have everything else and just need something more.

An odd little game. I really didn't care for this at all and won't be purchasing it, even if it were half price. Muddled storyline, muddled graphics, although the colors are very nice. I had to move my cursor very carefully over every part of the scene because things that needed to be picked up weren't readily apparent in the graphics. One shop had an arrow showing I could have moved in that direction, but I got a hint saying there wasn't anything of interest there. What?
I don't recommend this game.

Playing it again for the third time. This one is charming in storyline, scenes, HOs, shooting bandits that pop up, finding sheriff's badges, etc. I'm so glad I got this game because I have really enjoyed it.
I recommend this game!

I am playing this again for the third or fourth time since purchasing it. I really enjoy the scenes with the clouds blowing across the sky, the wind ruffling flags in the background, bubbles floating toward the surface in the underwater scenes. While I really like the game, I don't enjoy the "click to continue" feature at all. For someone who likes to keep moving, this tends to slow me down if I forget to "click" and the game won't proceed until I remember. Nice game, though.
I recommend this game!

I found this pretty challenging as far as several areas that have to be completed, good ho's, good story (kind of spooky being alone in this complex), and pretty good visuals. I'm glad I bought it.
I recommend this game!

I only played the trial, and I don't think I'll buy it. The storyline and dialog were kind of goofy. Graphics were mushy, and the ho's were very, very quick and easy. I don't know if I'd recommend this for any serious player...nope, I wouldn't!

Very good little game, but geared for the beginner or children. Easy to find objects in several different scenes. Progresses well. I only played the trial, but if I had young children at home, I would purchase this for them. I gave it 4 stars because it's suitable for a young age.
I recommend this game!

This game has excellent visuals, good characters, beautifully intricate ho's and a lot of them for those of us who enjoy ho's, and some tricky little puzzles built in. Very nice.
I recommend this game!
