This time Angela is caught with an old nemesis from high school. The story as always is a strong point of the game. There are twists and turns and all in all a good plot. I actually played levels to find out what happens next.
Angela is as usual fantastic, and so like a regular person with good and bad sides. The outfits are lovely and the side characters are totally fun. I do wish she was behind the counter on every level.
The gameplay is challenging. Finding that little mouse at times is rather tough. though I do not like it very much on every level. The foods are new and each level esp, the optional levels are challenging. What I did not like was the lack of new decorations at each level. They used to be a high point for me.
All in all a pretty good game, that i am sure to play again.
I recommend this game!

Played this from a very long time now. Build-a-lot is the original and still the very best building/TM game. The music and the challenges grow steadily as the game moves forward.
Build-a-Lot went on to have a series and this was the game that started the whole TM and building scenario. The graphics are definitely not as perfect as they are now, but the building designs and the strategy are definitely some of the things that are fantastic even now.
If you are a TM fan, you ought to play this one at least once.
I recommend this game!

I knew I would love Fabulous, within five minutes of playing. The game starts with the vocals which is just, well, 'fabulous' and so different from the usual music.
The story is great, with twists and turns and not too complicated. Angela, the character is so much fun, positive and spunky. She is as hardworking and dedicated as Emily.
The game itself is lot like Delicious, but with fashion and garments and shoes. Each level has new challenges, along with Carl the mouse and with each level the story moves further.
There are a few different countries where the game takes place and therefore, there is always something new to look forward to.
All in all can't recommend enough! A must buy for TM fans
I recommend this game!

Downloaded the trial version because I liked the last one but found this one awful and left it before the trial hour got over. The graphics weren't impressive at all and that worked against it the most. The characters simply failed to hold my interest. There are far too many games with far better graphics and presentation.
The game had nothing new to offer as per the game play goes. It followed the same trajectory without offering any new twist/fun factor. Therefore, each level seemed lot like the last one. The challenge levels were usual, and the storyline was the only interesting part of it.
I don't recommend this game.

to be honest I miss those old TM games, and these building games started with BuILD-A-LOT and since then, they have gone boring. The same framework and a little difference here and there.
This one, is definitely the same format yet I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. The storyline is quirky and funny, the characters adorable and challenges are fantastic. All in all a good purchasable game.
I recommend this game!

Having played ALL the previous games, bought this one without trying it first. This one is way better than the Honeymoon Cruise. Paige is cute and the very last (6th) episode kind of took me back to the earlier Emily games.
The music stays almost similar, the trademark of this game, a few new challenges added regarding serving according to the customer forecast. This was lot like the old Fairy Godmother Tycoon, where a good sale depended on serving according to the forecast. The mouse and the in-game challenges were fun, difficult without being impossible to achieve. The graphics did not disappoint, Emily with her orange and green polka dotted dress was just so nice. Cannot recommend enough!
I recommend this game!

I knew what to expect from it, so after i played it I have to say that even by staying within the 'My kingdom for princess' sort of game, it is very enjoyable, not boring at all. Beautiful graphics, cute storyline and the challenges are different and enjoyable. Loved it, Definitely recommend it.

This game runs very well for the first two scenarios and then it gets repetitive. While the good part is that the challenges are new and exciting, and the scenarios are quite long,you can play with your own sweet time, bad parts are that teher are not too many upgrades and every scenario seems to have the same sort of challenges and some of the tasks given are quite repetitive like making fish soup over and over again. The scenarios and the design is nice, very nice really, music is not overbearing and the story moves just fine, except that you have to start with building same tents and same bbq and same collecting berries. The makers should see to that! Won't recommend, and strongly suggest to play the demo first
I don't recommend this game.

Liked it, mostly because of the plot, which has loads of twists and turns. There are challenges and HOD scenarios and puzzles and all of them in equal balance, which by itself is a difficult feat to achieve. All of the above are not too easy or too difficult. The graphic are very good, and better than many other contemporary games and yes it is quite long so many hours of fun. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDING!
I recommend this game!

In a word 'liked it'. At the start it felt like just another HOD, but by the time the Bluebeard was chained, I was very hooked indeed. I the HO scenarios were interesting without being too tough, graphics good though I wont go as far as saying 'great' You have seen graphics like this before. The story was intriguing and was the reason that kept me playing, and visiting different places in search of a character was definitely an addition. In the negative, it was not that spooky or touching.
I recommend this game!
