I am absolutely loving this game. I played the demo for about 1/2 hour and had to force myself to quit so I could come write the review before I forgot to do it.
You know the story, Robin Hood, a band of friends, doing stuff together. You get to use the attributes of your Merry Men as you travel through the game - of course you have to meet them first. You work your way through the game by doing different quests so it's not a game that takes forever to feel like you've actually made progress.
I am really loving this game and will definitely be buying.
I recommend this game!

I liked it but...
See, instead of having a story that has hidden object scenes this whole game is a hidden object scene. So you see a place where you will be able to do something and you have to search for an item. But when you're wandering around to find that item you find more and more things that need another item/items to work. These needed items show as blank spaces (labeled though) in your inventory. Before long my inventory was full of needed items and I found myself overwhelmed by the sheer number of items that I was looking for.
I would recommend this game to people that don't mind having a looong list of things to do. Right there. In front of your face. Just like real life.
I don't recommend this game.

Well apparently I'm waay in the minority here but I didn't like it. The gameplay seemed okay but there was this other thing that bugged me...
There is an animated version of the main character - the person that you are playing as - that sits to the right of the inventory. It reacts when some things happen. I found it to be too distracting and somewhat annoying.
It only took 11 minutes for me to decide that I couldn't enjoy the gameplay due to the character sitting there staring out of the screen.
I also need to mention that if a cut scene of story happens, it happens suddenly and your cursor vanishes. So it takes a bit for you to figure out where your cursor has gone to.
And I feel the need to say that there is a huge chunk of storyline that comes before the option to play. This bugs me because I don't want to know the story, I just want to see how the gameplay is. If I like the gameplay then I will pay attention to the story when I play it after purchase.
I would recommend this game for those that aren't irritated by having to watch someone reacting to what's happening in the game.
I recommend this game!

This has become one of my all-time favorite time management games. It's very very similar to the Spa Mania games. (which I absolutely LOVE)
Unfortunately, I found this game to be a little on the easy side, but that is offset by the fact that every time you travel to a new drugstore the layout of the drugstore's ingredients are moved. This makes things a bit more tricky and I think that it's a fun twist. And the game itself is fairly long which makes up for it not being quite as hard as I would have liked.
I purchased this game 4 days ago and have already played it twice, it's just that fun. When I sit down to play the time just flies and I find myself staying up until the wee hours and being completely surprised at the time when I've finally stopped playing.
I recommend this game!

This is a great version of Monopoly! Absolutely wonderful! It is very intuitive but also offers plenty of help to make sure you know what to do. It doesn't take long to get into the flow of the game. I think that this version of Monopoly will be enjoyed by both the occasional player and the hard-core Monopoly fans - like me.
I worried that the 3D effects might be distracting or annoying. Instead, I thought that it added to the game and made it seem more like the real board game.
I've never written a review for a game, but this one is so awesome that I just had to share it.
I recommend this game!
