I really enjoyed Cave Quest 1 and I was reluctant at first. What? No snow and ice? But I am pleasantly surprised and I have to say that Cave Quest 2 is an excellent sequel. The gameplay is similar enough to be enjoyed and different enough to be challenging.
However, I wish BigFish would have mentioned in their description that this is certainly no game for people suffering from arachnophobia. I would imagine that some players might find the spiders quite difficult to accept.
I recommend this game!

What a disappointment! I thought I can't go wrong with yet another "Travel Mosaics" and bought it without playing the demo. There are no jigsaws or picture puzzles at the end of each level. This is THE feature I was looking forward to the most. Even the nonograms are boring!
I have learnt my lesson and will not buy another "Travel Mosaic" without playing the demo.

We Vacation Adventurers spend our holidays either on a cruise ship or in Pinecreek Park. Why? Because we love it! I don't get tired of visiting the same places again and again. It's like coming home! If you don't like this concept then simply do not play this series.
I deducted one star because I was a bit disappointed about the choice of mini games. Some of which are repetitive and I have played them in previous versions. Come on, you can do better than that!
However, it will not stop me from playing it over and over (and over!) again...
I recommend this game!

I have bought every game of this series. I enjoy the gameplay and the fact that it is a bit more challenging than the average mosaic game. So I got this one without trying it out. What could possibly go wrong??!!
Not the game, but the background! I have skipped whole levels as i could not bear the fireworks! It is highly annoying and I cannot concentrate at all.
Please, please no more backgrounds in motion!!
I don't recommend this game.

The graphics are awesome, beautiful colours and music, but the most tedious game in the universe! Played the demo, got bored (and annoyed) and uninstalled it.
I don't recommend this game.

It seems I am not the only one who waited impatiently for a new Vacation Adventure! It is a year ago we last visited the Pinecreek Park. It is good to see the well-known faces and locations again and find some new sites and features, too. I simply love this series!!
I deducted one star because for me there were too many "Find-25-identical-pieces-levels", which I find rather tedious.Some may like it - I don't.
All in all a great game and I will surely play it over and over again!
I recommend this game!

Wow! Thank you Bigfish for this wonderful challenge! I really enjoyed it - however, there are two snags:
1. The hints are completely useless!
2. The map only directs you to the rooms you have already played. I spent too much time running around to find the next available room.
Apart from that I still enjoyed it very much and I am looking forward to the next episodes with Dr. Arcana.
I recommend this game!

YES! Another road trip! I enjoyed travelling through the USA and was really looking forward to new locations. All in all it is a great game when you love HOPs. No story, no inventory, simple game fun. I love the cats.
Why only 4 stars you might ask? Because there are two locations where you can only find the special objects by getting out of the fullsreen mode. The small screen is ridiculously small!!
@DBGIRL: You can find the coin in level 8 by minimizing your screen. It's located on the lantern on the left.
I recommend this game!

I am a great fan of the Cursed-House-series and I found Laruaville just 'okay'. Now Laruaville 8 changed it all. I just love the new features like the red fields or the chain reaction with the small bombs. And the once indestructible rocks crumble...
Thank you BigFish!
I recommend this game!

I have checked BigFish daily for a new Cursed-House-release! And yes! Today I was lucky!
I don't understand the negative reviews as I am pleased that the gameplay ist just like it was in the previous games. I don't need or want surprises.
The reason for 'only' 4 stars is that I miss the Bonus-Game-Feature from Cursed House 5 which I temendously enjoyed
I recommend this game!
