It was okay for a while but then became tedious. No coherent storyline to follow. In fact I ended up just using the map to find out where I needed to go next in most cases as there was no logical progression. Wasn't sorry when it was finished. Some of the puzzles were just so easy that they were not a puzzle. Others made no sense. A few times I got to a place where it obviously needed a piece I held but it transpired that although the hint had taken me there it was in fact too early in the game to do this. Very frustrating.
I don't recommend this game.

I enjoyed parts of this game. Some of the mini games were pathetically stupid. The paint by numbers type-game near the end was however totally incomprehensible to me. I even tried the guide but that made no sense either to me. I played it again to try to get all the jigsaws completed and was driven nuts by my inability to get the last one; the guide showed me where it was but no chance the screen moved as soon as it opened and it was gone. The various frustrations really undid the bits I enjoyed.
I cannot seem to get into this one. I enjoyed the first game; second game wasn't bad but we seem to have another example of the "first good game" syndrome which is followed by not-so-good further games which are not put together as well. It seems very wooden and you just have to follow the game by stilted steps.
Tried as I like HO games but it was not good. Seemed to be no connections. I don't mind a game being difficult but just didn't get any pleasure from this one.
