The graphics are gorgeous, and the gameplay is entertaining. The problem is that you don't accumulate points fast enough to keep up with the difficulty of play. You end up with all the rows/columns frozen, no available moves, and the game wants to you expend "spells" to continue. There's a limit to how many moves you're allowed on each level, too. So you use one of your very few spells to make a move, and if you run out of moves and have to restart the level, you don't get that spell back. Once used, it's gone. Now you have even less chance of completing the level. There's no way to restart a level, either... you have to play it through to the bitter end, using up all your spells. A few tweaks to playability could make this a great game, but as it stands, it's just frustrating.
I don't recommend this game.

The mini-games were challenging, and playing in hardcore mode was delightfully difficult.
Great game!

Every aspect of this game exceeded my expectations. Gorgeous graphics, a new twist to the "search for somebody" storyline, and the perfect balance between crisp HO scenes and challenging mini-games.
I play a lot of these, and I'd put this in my top 3 of all time!
I recommend this game!
