Nothing special about this game. Not a huge challenge. I was really annoyed that when I finished the game, I was stuck for what felt like forever reading the useless wrap up of the storyline. It was a failure in common courtesy for those of us who do not follow the storyline at all in these games. I play them for the challenge so the storyline means nothing to me. A tip for the developers, offer skipping through ALL of the storyline, not just the stuff in the game, but before you start AND after it finishes.
I don't recommend this game.

I only played part of the demo before deciding this game was not for me. It was entertaining enough, but there were 5 HOS within the first 1/2 hr, I realize it is a HOG, but come on, that's a bit excessive.
I don't recommend this game.

No real level of challenge. Some of the mini games were a littel challenging, but overall the rest of he game play was not. I did not care for the storyline at all, quite boring.
I don't recommend this game.

I was literally annoyed within the first 5 min of the game with all the dialogue. Graphics were very poor. Didn't even get halfway through the demo before uninstalling.

Sadly I purchased this game and definitely regret it. I thought it had promise after the trial, but I quickly got so tired of wandering all over the place doing tiny tasks (going to the truck in the garage to open a gas tank and that was the only thing to do in that area!) that I gave up on the game and will not finish it. It did not hold my interest at all. I cannot stand HOG that insist on keeping every last area in the game active. It is so BORING to continue to wander all over to figure out what to do next.
I don't recommend this game.

After playing for an hour, I didn't feel this game presented enough of a challenge on challenge mode. Some of the levels were a it boring since you had to sit there and wait for items to refill before you could do anything. Overall a cute game, but if you like more of a challenge with TM games, this one will disappoint you.
I don't recommend this game.

I found this game to be quite challenging as it progressed. There were a couple of levels I had to retry 2-3 times before hitting the goal. And so far, I have gotten very few expert scores. If you like challenging time management games, then this is a great one.
I recommend this game!

Nice graphics. Typical HO scenes. The mini games are very easy as is the game overall even in expert mode. Good game if you like HOS, but don't want a game that is too challenging.
I recommend this game!

This game is nice if you want something different. It's similar to the iPhone game Dooors (which is free). Wish they would have made the screen bigger. There really was no need to have so much worthless framed space and have the game in a 5" x 2" area. Need to include a way to skip the tutorial.
I don't recommend this game.

Although I liked the graphics and felt overall the game was visually pleasing, it was extremely easy even on the advanced mode. I'm no HO game master, so if I find the advanced level easy, then it is way too easy. There was absolutely no challenge whatsoever. Advanced mode was not supposed to highlight active objects, yet it did. Not worth the money unless you want a game you can finish in a few hours.
I don't recommend this game.
