I really enjoyed this game! I've played a couple dozen HO/adventure games and this one was up in the top 1/4 of those for me. The story is interesting--you must save Scrooge from evils or mistakes in his past, present and future Christmases. Of those three, the Christmas Yet to Come episode is a bit shorter than the others, which was disappointing. Nevertheless, going through the whole game (regular edition, playing on the 2nd of the 4 difficulty levels) took me about 6-7 hours. Graphics are excellent, very colorful, not dark at all, as it the case with most games. There was nice, mellow Christmas-y music. HO scenes are not too easy, not too difficult; mini-games also of average difficulty. There is a map that allows you to jump to relevant areas, and tells you where you still have activities to complete. I used the hint button about 5 times, and only couldn't complete one mini-game, because I couldn't figure out how it worked, despite the instructions. Overall, very enjoyable for me, a casual HO/Adv gamer!
