They should have stuck to the first 4 Elements. The first one was relaxing, it was fun.
I can see what they are trying to do with number 2 - take all the elements of the first game and expand. But it doesn't work.
It's made it complicated for complicated sake. I didn't enjoy it at all. Number 1 I will replay over and over, I barely made it through the first hour on this one.
I don't recommend this game.

Beautiful graphics, a lovely story & a good challengel level - what more can you ask for?
This game is a moderate challenge level - some puzzles are quite easy, others hard, but overall the game will make you think without crying in frustration.
The graphics are lovely, the music is soothing. All in all it's a lovely experience.
A word of warning: This game is very long, be prepared to take hours to finish and it's addictive - very hard not to try and finish in one sitting! You have been warned! LOL
I recommend this game!

This is an older game and it shows. It reminds me of the very early (Win 95) type games and in its day it would have been a hit.
Now, it's a little dated. Don't get me wrong I love old games - I still play my Hero's Quest for DOS! But this one is a bit too simplistic now. The sequel Virtual Farm 2 is much better.
My advice: give the trial a whirl. If it takes you down memory lane and you enjoy it - great. If not, well you haven't wasted any money.
I don't recommend this game.

I wouldn't say this was a bad game, but it's not one of my top 50 either.
It would suit those that may be new to games or those that want a slower pace. I only played the trial and I'm sure it will get more difficult as the game progresses but....
I'll probably buy this one if it comes onto a really good sale price or if I need to use up a credit. But it's not high on my list.
I recommend this game!

This would have to be my favourite game at the moment.
It's very similar to Ranch Rush in that you need to grow/pick crops & look after animals to meet orders and in addition to make more intensive products - such as jams and chocolate.
It's not as challenging as Ranch Rush, but that's a good thing. RR could at times become hair pulling, but Farm Life is a little bit easier - but still a challenge.
I'd recommend this game for any level of player.

I like builders, but always shied away from this series for some reason... I've now tried it and I'm pleasantly surprised!
It's a pure builder's game: get money & supplies & build to meet goals. The first dozen levels are fairly easy, but boy it gets tough!
I'm currently on level 30 and I've had to restart it twice. It certainly makes you think - it's a true strategy game!
I'm certainly a fan!
I recommend this game!

I was surprised how much I liked this game.
It's your basic "dash" type game where you take orders and serve the customers before they get angry and leave.
It's cute and not so hard that you're ready to pull your hair out trying to get expert on all levels.
It's probably not worth full price, but if you have a credit you want to use up or for a bonus day, it might be worth a go!
I recommend this game!

The game play is identical to Hotel Dash it just has a monster theme. It even has a disclaimer on the opening screen stating as much....
Such a cop out from the developers.
If you like Hotel Dash give it a go,
I don't recommend this game.

This is a bit of a different HOG in that you don't look for one object, but the bits of the object to put together to use.
It's unusual at first but gets old quickly. I didn't even finish the trial.
It's a shame because the story line is great, the graphics are beautiful and the soundtrack is nice and in the background rather than in your face.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a cute game, but it's not a style of game play that I enjoy. You have to work through a number of characters, telling each individually what to do.
If you like Island Tribe, Farm Tribe etc you will enjoy this.
I don't recommend this game.
