Purchased this game in hopes that it would provide info on our missing Rick Rogers. So far, it has not, but I haven't finished the game yet. If it weren't for Rick, I would not have purchased it after doing the demo. I'm finding it very glitchy, and it is difficult finding the exact pixel I need to be clicking on to perform a task. That is annoying. The puzzles are OK (except for a HO scene with those sliders that I despise), but one wouldn't work for me at all. I'm hoping after all this effort to see something about Rick. Otherwise, I will give up on this series, and just play the first few over again.
Not sure if I recommend this game or not. Jury's still out.

I loved the first one, and this one is even better! I love the graphics, the soundtrack is not annoying, and it's a challenge for me, anyway, to find the morphs. I'm so happy to have this game today. It's my new favorite.
I recommend this game!

I've played this game too many times before to enjoy playing it again. Yes, I know it's a new game, but it's an old and tired plot with the SOSO things to do. On top of that, I had to turn off the music because it was beyond irritating. I don't want another "bestiary." I do not recommend this game.
I don't recommend this game.

I really enjoy these games, and was happy when a new one came out. I like the characters, the story line, the graphics, the sound - everything. It's not complicated, or particularly challenging, but it's fun. I have enjoyed every one in this series - they are the same, and yet different enough in story line and the running gimmick, to not be boring. Looking forward to another one in the future.

From the demo, I thought this would be a challenging and interesting game, and perhaps something a little different. In fact, I had played the beta and didn't finish it because I didn't want to spoil the surprises that might come. However, after the first story, the end of which was strangely abrupt, it was all downhill. The storyline lost cohesiveness, and I felt as if there were huge gaps in the game where something should have happened, but instead, ZAP. I was somewhere else, or out of the comic book entirely. One positive was a diverse character population; nice for a change.
I was equally unimpressed with the bonus game. Everything worked. Graphics were fine. Sound was good. But it wasn't even half of what I had been expecting.
I don't recommend this game.

I enjoyed the main game. I have others in the series, and they are not flashy or terribly complicated, just enjoyable to play, and so was this...and then came the bonus. I wasn't sure at first who I was supposed to be, and I certainly had no idea what was going on. The story line was practically non-existent. The ending was most unsatisfying, as were the characters therein. I'd recommend waiting for the standard addition, since the extras in the Collectors were really not all that extra.
I recommend this game!

I thought this looked like a fun game, but after attempting to play it for a few minutes, I simply could not stand the mistranslation and the nonsensical sentences. Too bad. It was certainly bright and colorful, but no. Just no.
I don't recommend this game.

With the BOGO sale this weekend, I decided to give this game another try, although I had rejected it when it first came out. I had forgotten why, though. When I came to the first real puzzle (the light beams with flowers), I remembered. It didn't work the first time I tried the game, and even after carefully reading the guide to make sure I was doing what I was supposed to, it still didn't work. If something doesn't work that early in the game, I hold no hope for the rest of it.
I don't recommend this game.

I love having an adventure with the Park Rangers. Happy to see all the old familiar faces, but new scenes and new things to look for. I have all the games in this series, and play them every couple of years because they are relaxing, and enjoyable. I play the easiest level, because that's what makes it relaxing for me, but you can make it more challenging if you wish. I always recommend these games.

Main game was fine with lovely graphics and a good story line. Started the bonus, and came to a map where I had to follow directions, and could not move anywhere (following directions or not) without being told "You lose." I gave up. I should have waited for the regular edition of this game because getting the bonus was a waste.
I don't recommend this game.
