I enjoy TM games the most and I really liked this one - mainly because there are so few released for play these days. I thought the graphics were pretty elementary, but they were acceptable. Very few games have decent music. I usually play with them muted and something else on. This one was no exception there. Then there was the challenge. It was fun alright, but not terribly "exciting". The "wow" factor is missing. Don't get me wrong, I am glad I bought the game, but it is not going to wind up on my list of absolute favorites like Plantasia, Landgrabbers, Diner Dash, or Cake Mania.
We've waited a long time for some "dash"-type games. Enough of the hidden objects already. Please make more games like this one and one's like Cake Mania, Diner Dash (all varieties), and Burger Bustle.
I honestly do not see the correlation between Roads of Rome and this game that other gamers have mentioned. I was excited to see people compare Hercules to Roads of Rome only to be very disappointed. There is no strategy to this game. I didn't like it at all. The game just "gives" you what you have to gather and doesn't give you decisions to make that affect what outcome you have. You are channeled into going in one specific direction. The flags don't serve any real purpose except to confuse the visuals.

I usually like Roads of Rome 1-2-3, Diner Dashes, and fast-paced games. This wasn't one of them. It would be fine for someone probably 12 and under I guess.
I really like Time Management games. This one is too slow, cumbersome and I dislike the dialogue between games very much. I played maybe 20 minutes and dozed off a few minutes while playing. When I woke up, I tried to get back into it for a few minutes but I was so irritated and uninspired, I just uninstalled it.
I've read the other reviews and agree that it is quite similar to the older Snowy Lunch Rush but this is still a good game for people that like the "Rush" style of gaming. It doesn't deserve low marks, but would miss the highest marks since the game isn't really upgraded with prominent NEW features. It is good game play and moderately challenging for all age ranges.
The only thing that REALLY needs changing is the ability to turn the squealing people OFF. That is somewhat annoying. Otherwise, this is still a good game.
I recommend this game!

I usually like these types of games and did particularly like Burger Bustle, BUT, this game didn't have as much variety or fast, challenging interaction that Burger Bustle did. In addition, the "grab, drag, drop" was very inaccurate. I found myself repeating actions that should have "took" the first time I did it. It was okay, but I'm not going to waste a credit on it. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. Nice graphics. Annoying music and voices (thank goodness for mute).
It wasn't as challenging as I personally like, but I could see how younger people might get a better kick out of it than I did. I didn't like the separation of tools - some you just use and some you had to select to use. I didn't see the point in doing that. One thing I find very annoying is not being able to skip over "story lines" or written dialogue. I don't mean to sound so negative, this was a good and enjoyable game. Just not my personal style.
