i have played the trial for 30 mns and I am enthralled, enthousiastic and buying the game right away. I had to stop playing to leave this note, I was too excited not to. I have only played 30 minutes so far but the game is exciting in every way, with animated action so fantastic compared to the past, colors, scenery that are quite incredible and a story that is already grabbing me completely because there is action there!. I was getting tired of so many sleeper games, always the same, so much so that one felt one was playing the same game over and over just with diff characters but similar storied. So bored with HO with the same hidden objects from one game to the next and mini games the same over and over. This seems so promising and I cannot wait to enter further into the plot. The best I have seen in a long time with new twists and also involving me completely and beckoning me in with amazing animation! A+++++, wishing for more that entertain like this in the future as well as more like plants versus zombies which will remain a favorite forever!
The introduction was so amazing and well rendered that I figured the game would follow, I was so excited at the prospect of buying it for sure after such a great start, but then i played the trial, the graphics went downhill quickly, then there were so many hidden objects scenes which I am so tired of, the game became boring quickly and I did not even finish the hour trial! I wanted to know the end of the story but not badly enough to waste further time. I am always put out when the introduction starts with flourish and the game fizzes out after that, I always feel like someone is trying to impress me to suck me in something that will afterwards be mediocre. The introduction was promising, the game just disappointing afterwards and I had to quit. Too many other great games to linger here!
I am amazed there are any negative comments left for this game but I guess to each his own! Some complain about gun firing! Just do not buy the game for a child if this troubles you, and, it is just a game by the way, and amazing at that! After what we see on T.V, this is rather mild violence if you can call it that! I loved the game from the get go and i do not often leave comments but this one truly deserves my time, I was sucked in at once: the graphics are beautiful, the animation terrific, the plot, based on some magic, makes sense and follows with sense as well SO FAR, as opposed to some games that are completely off the wall as far as what you need to use for what so if you are practical by nature, here, you progress well and I like that in a game, relying on my common sense rather than not being able to because the things to find make no sense and the plot is too off the wall. After I figured them out, the HO's were terrific , they have an interesting twist and i was sick and tired of HO's overall but these bring new interest to a part of these games a lot of us were tired of. I have only played part of the demo so far but i was so excited by the way the game was going and how beautiful it was that I stopped playing to leave a comment right away. I cannot wait to buy it, it is interesting, magical and sensible at the same time, more like the Hitchcock movie " the birds" than a fairy tale, with new twists and turns that keep me interested, I cannot wait to buy the game and continue! The plot is very important to me, and so far, this one is grabbing my attention, as opposed to some games with so many HO's and puzzles that may be interesting to solve but stray so far from the plot that the plot itself becomes inexistant, if it made any sense at all to start with (and a lot don't to my great regret): One of my favorites "plot-wise" is Dire grove, the story is sensible enough and follows like a detective story except for the very end that lacks reality but I forgive that when the game entertained me till then and I feel this one is going the same interesting route. For some reason, the plot entices me to continue and is extremely important to me, without one I don't have the same desire to go on! I imagine some games as movies, they would not retain one's attention for 30 seconds. The games need to be more sensible like a detective story or a movie that has a good plot, even if they deal with fantasy, I expect good sense to be present otherwise you are like a blind man in a glass factory! If they stray from what i call common sense and a sensible plot and story, i lose interest as the detective or the savior and have less incentive or none at all into progressing into such unknown as anything goes and that is just dumb! I just love this one so far! Hope it keeps it up as I am sucked in! Everything is clear too, no eye strain! A ++++++
To save your father from a hideous monster, you've decided to sacrifice your own freedom. Now you must journey through a strange and magical land before time runs out!
i bought this game as soon as the trial hour was up, it was wonderful and magical, i have not played it in full yet but was enchanted by the little I played, it was nicely different too. I great buy for the holidays, also graphics are crystal clear and scenes beautiful and that has become very important to me, I do not buy foggy games with an abondance of HOS as I am so tired of them unless they have a refreshing twist to them such as grouping items or looking for 1 repeated item all over or opening objects to find hidden items and still, HOS keep the plots from flowing and distract too much from the story at hand, love when we have to find objects we need into the scene itself but not when thrown altogether in a heap, this game here is great with a great balance of everything so far and i loved the hour i played it, i will review more when i finish it as i just played the hour and bought it a couple of weeks ago and I do not remember the details but if i bought it, it means there are not too many HOS or if there are, that they have a different twist, that the graphics are crystal clear and beautiful, that the plot is interesting and that the progress makes sense which is all important to me now that I have played so many games and have become hard to please.
i bought this game before i played the full 1 hour, it was a lot of fun and different from anything else: i am in search of different these days, less traditional hidden objects, less games where you have to run down the road and clear the path and build, (they are very cute but also always the same). i own so many games and too many end up being the same old stuff such as tiresome hidden objects, rebuilding and match 3's, so this was refreshing as it was a match 3, which i am also tired of, but with a different twist that made it quite untertaining and fun. By the way, did any of the developpers notice the adult film music that accompanies the game? It cracked me up! How could they not? It gave me a good laugh because it was so unexpected but some may not like it! Overall, I am loving this game and it is addictive for sure! Again, I recommend Plants versus zombies, my favorite ever, if you do not own it, buy it! You will have the best time! Well worth every penny! I keep on returning to it and never tire of it, i think i must have played it over and over 10 times at least and it gets harder each time one starts it over again so it varies each new play
my problem is that i am tired of these games, when you buy one, you buy them all, i have stopped purchasing them because it is always the same play, also i think there should be a way to not have a timer so children can play them too & not become frustrated as they do when there is one, & so they can enjoy the graphics without having to run like mad, in this one, my 2 guys got stuck next to a tree in the 3rd level & i could not make them walk again, they froze and that was that, never was able to make them move again so i quit, it woudl be a cute game if that was the first one like that i played but it is not and it is too much the same, may be these games shoudl be like this but also offer other options in between the clearing the rd etc... liek puzzles and such, not so much hidden objects as i think we are all a bit tired of that too. my biggest wish is that there are following games to plants versus zombies, that is a game one never tires of, it is always exciting and keeps you on your toes, this sort of games as this one i am playing are always the same plus from board to board it is also the same goings on with slight variations which also becomes boring after a while unlike the zombie hgame, which by the way has a sequel only available on ipads, wish bigfish woudl get it so i can buy it for PC. anyway, this is cute but repetitive and we have seen it all already and i am not buying these games anymore, too much the same old stuff. i own at least 3 and that is enough. i recommend this game for newcomers that have never played this sort providing the 2 guys do not freeze on the 3rd level like they did for me as i never could find the way to defreeze them, i pressed on everything imaginable!
the game is maddening to play, hidden objects are hidden behind other things and impossible to see, there is no fun quest when something cannot be located at all because it is truly invisible, it is a shame as the graphics were so cute but the swaying around of the island are dizzying and i could not find the invisible objects without making the island spin on itself, and even then it was impossible to locate some, very frustrating and tiring for the eyes, so I am deleting that one as it is not worth it and will be reverting to some of bigfish other delightful games. If only the island could have stood still!
I don't recommend this game.

fun cheerful hilarious addictive unique, more like this please!
i have bought some 60 games from bigfish the last 3 months but I must say, this latest purchase has me wanting to go back to the game non stop, maybe that is not so good as far as getting my real work done but how could one not want to help these amusing plants! I bought it for my granddaughter and I cannot stop playing it myself, the further you get, the more terrific it gets, and challenging it is as well: too cute, so much fun, different, i hope they make more like these as i will buy them all, i regret there are not enough good kids games on Bigfish, that may be my only complaint here, as this site is fantastic for adults, at least not good children ones, most of them are boring or outdated except for this little masterpiece, a couple of time management ones such as gardenscapes & Northern tales, Alex and Supercow of course... Please more of these, even grandmothers get addicted to something as much fun, with so much action as well, as Plants vs Zombies and it is not as easy as it looks as one goes on... Do not miss this one, it was worth every penny, and hilarious and cheerful too, and i cannot wait to get back to it, I have abandoned all other adult games to have a blast with this one!! So much for doing the work that needs to be done around here, I am too busy killing zombies with glee..... this game wins all awards in my book plus i do not think one can tire of it as it is too much fun to, and so different as well, nothing like it! keep on playing, the more you play the more fun and challenging it gets, love love love it!. The only problem is that one becomes addicted to so much great great fun!
Within just a few minutes of play, my grandaughter and I got so violently ill, we had to lay in bed for the rest of the afternoon with the rest of the family tending to us, the game looked so cute at first, i did not hesitate buying it till my granddaughter discovered the control on the right that sends you to a certain dizzying doom if you are prone to motion sickness. This is the next day and I am still not feeling right and have been able to eat nothing but soup. The game is charming when you start it but most of the hidden objects are impossible to find and it becomes maddening very quickly till you discover that you can move the island around in all directions cand only then can some of these hidden objects be found but by then, you don't even care to locate themas you have turned green and want to die.... Thinking back it is funny a game can have that effect but I must say, there should be a warning that comes with the game as i have not felt this sick in a long time!!! I will not play it again, just thinking of it makes me spin today! Why could the game not stay cute, as it was, with objects that one could see, and also without all that twirling around! It would have been a 5 stars for the graphics, and the story was cute too to start with, but with objects impossible to find and a roller coaster ride on top, we had to give up after 5 mns and will not be touching it again!
one of my favorites so far, besides graphics so amazing that i felt like i was there walking around in the snow, the search was so interesting and the clues so clever. I cannot wait to play it again but i have about 30 to play first that i have not tried yet. Bigfish has such amazing games. I recommend this game highly, it was a fantastic challenge to the end and i recommend big fish which has such great games and take such good care of their customers.
