Ok as I say quite often we are all different and have different tastes and I appreciate that but this is the 6th game and they are virtually identical. Would you go and buy the same dvd 6 times over just because it has a different cover. As said on the CE review I cannot see any challenge in this as it is constantly flashing where you can go. This completely annoys me. If it was not for this then at least it would be a bit of a challenge . Its like doing an online crossword and the answer keeps flashing up in front of you. If you needed a hint then they should provide a hint button as many other games do. I gave this a try even though I had already demoed the CE and I respected what others whom liked it were saying but I am afraid I still do not like this game what soever. I gave it a chance. Just my opinion and some will like it which is fine. Sorry for all the negative vibes
I don't recommend this game.

First thing I would advise is to put this game on relax to play the demo as it needs a bit of thinking and to get the most out of the demo best on relax. It is youur usual collect and build and it makes you think is this your normal game but then it has something in it that makes you want this game. What I did not like is for a TM game it takes up a massive 2gb plus on your hard drive and at the moment I can't see why? You need to build and demolish on a regular basis to get to your targets and when you get off the first planet you need to assign workers to gold mines etc. There is no strategy guide and it just says 50 + levels so it is a bit confusing as to what you actually get extra in this.? I still think it is worth 4 stars though but not 5. Time will tell . As I say interesting and same but different if that makes any sense
I recommend this game!

I t has been a long time since a tower defense game was brought out here and this is the 4th in the series and features the Napoleonic wars. This is a very challenging game and requires a lot of strategy. If you have played the other games then you should be used to the mechanics. It is a bit confusing at first but you need to upgrade everything as soon as you can by upgrading gears which is maybe not the best way to do this but once you get the hang of it you will be fine. The music and graphics are great. This will not suit everyone .In my opinion this is the best of the series and just makes a change to the normal on here. Been around on other platforms for some time so there are walkthroughs available.
I recommend this game!

Lets start by listing the positive things. You can turn the awful Klaxon sound off. Not sure why they even put that klaxon there as it is very annoying each time you click on something and its great you can turn it off.
This is a very standard tm game with nothing of interest. First big no is there appears to be only one skill level. the buildings are just signs stuck on rocks and are difficult to define. I had to look very carefully. Not sure how many levels extra for a CE but there is a basic strategy map which again is not easy to see some art and that's it. Graphics are very old fashioned. I was so hoping to find something positive about this but I am sorry In the words of Simon Cowell, its a no from me. If you want a straight forward game then you may like this but there are so many out there like this what is the point in another. I give a generous 2 stars

I am a great fan of Jigsaws and thought I would give this a go. For me the idea of Jigsaws is to relax a bit and spend some time assembling the puzzle. Why on earth do these pieces float and twist around which makes it very difficult to assemble the puzzle. I want to be able to select a piece and place it where I want it not to have it spinning around etc. Of course this may suit others but I just cannot see the point in it and for a game that takes up almost 1GB of space on my hard drive I can do without. Sorry for such negativity
I don't recommend this game.

Ok there are problems with this game. First thing to do is change your cursor for the normal arrow,this may help it flow a bit better?.It did for me. I have all the previous games and this is not so flowing .In the others there is no waiting in between levels and The devs need to look at this. This is still packed with the norm you would expect but I see a developer change has taken place and it is very much like a top Chef in a restaurant. Same Restaurant but different Chef yet people expect the same Standard. That may not happen as there is bound to be a change. If you are used to the playing of this game then turn the tutorial off as it can get in the way of your play as can upgrading the sawmills etc.I like the addition of the pirates who come out of the bushes to stop a farm etc until you pay them.and the gems are a new touch.
This is a standard edition with 60 levels so that is a plus for me I just feel it is not as polished or smooth as the previous games which is why I have deducted a star. Hopefully an upgrade will come along soon to sort out the delay between levels

I would not have even demoed this had I not read Joybelle2's review as I give so much of my time to animal welfare and although I am A tm nut was in total disagreeance to the shooting of animals. However just goes to show how important reviews are as this game is now very eco friendly, even growing gardens .It is a classic TM and is not full of wallpapers, art designs etc but worthy of a CE as it has 20 extra levels, a good strategy guide plus parts of maps to find. I would say though that you can always go back to find the hidden maps if you do not stumble across them as 60 mins goes quickly and it just takes more time to find hidden items. Best done later to get the best out of the demo. So now I am happy I have a decent TM game and very eco friendly. Thanks developers for listening
I recommend this game!

The previous game had only 25 levels but there are 40 here which is an improvement. There are 3 modes of difficulty.It always starts in relaxed which is the green start button but you can change to timed or expert and you start on which level you choose where you left off so you can in effect switch from relaxed to expert and resume where you left off on each level which in some games you can not do that so that is a nice touch. You can buy puppies and kittens but do not bother with that while in demo it just takes up valuable demo time. it can be a bit frustrating at times when you need a nuclear explosion to break through as you need a rather large chain of at least 13 or 14 but remember you can go diagonally with this game as well as the normal left right up and down. They have added pitchforks and catapults to this game.The pitchfork takes out a straight line and the catapult various individual tiles but you need to be quick when they flash to make a chain as they do not last long. All in all this is a great game. Maybe not everyones thing but I love it .Could do with a bit more clearer instructions but you will soon get the idea
I recommend this game!

I have this entire series and ok it is the same format but they always add enough to make this such a challenge. This time you have keys to unlock gates and bonus money bags that pop up plusyou get side challenges like the greed game where you could end up richer of if greed gets you you could be worse off just adds to the fun.,
Once you get used to how this works you will be fine and it is very challenging and obviously the more you get into this the harder it becomes.
One thing I am not sure about is that the tiles no longer drop to the bottom. I used to like this feature but I will get use to it.
I did not bother with the demo just bought it as I knew it would be good but please don't take my word for it try the demo especially if you have never played this series before

If you love easy games then this match 3 is ideal but I like more of a challenge. I found it odd that this game started with a hog which put me in the wrong mood,it would have been far better to start with a match 3 after all this is a match 3 game. I found it confusing where the exploding fruit was the same color as the leaves and on one of the levels I played the tiles were very similar and seemed to blend together. It is a long time since we have had a decent match 3 and I just found this too easy. as I am always saying we are all different, some will like this so always try the demo
I don't recommend this game.
