There aren't many games that Big Fish offers that get me more excited than Vacation Adventures, both the Cruise Director and the Park Rangers games. When I saw that this had been offered, I had to let loose a not-so- suppressed giggle and like many other reviewers have mentioned, I jumped on the BUY NOW button without even trying the demo. REASON: I know that every single version will offer lots of fun puzzles and excellent hidden objects to find. It's also very relaxing to play, sort of like if you were ACTUALLY on the USS LIBERTY of the WAVES, just cruising along and enjoying the sights.
I HIGHLY recommend this game.
I recommend this game!

I have been away from Big Fish for quite a while now, until tonight. I saw this game, purchased it right away, but was under the impression that it would be fun and hold my attention, if only for awhile. I, therefore, found this game to be of average rating, but the variety of games in between 'decorating' the house, was sort of fun. I now wish I had saved my money on a better game than this one. Don't get me wrong, it will appeal to some people, and I also still will recommend it to others, but it's a NO for me.
I recommend this game!

I haven't been a Big Fish customer for over a year now, but as soon as I saw this game, I jumped on it, paid my $9.99 and made myself comfortable. I simply couldn't wait to delve into the colors, music, toys, and the simple joy of the Christmas season. Even if you're a humbug, you won't be after playing this game.
I like this newest version because the father is more prominent in the game. It has basically the same music as the other games, but the puzzles are a little different, and the objects, of course, are different and somewhat difficult to find.
I highly recommend this game to anyone who loves the Christmas season.
I recommend this game!

Although I'm no longer a member of Big Fish, as soon as I saw that this game was being offered, I jumped at the chance to purchase it. I would have spent practically anything in order to add this game to my long list of games. This is how much I love ALL of the Vacation Adventures: Cruise Director, as well as the Vacation Adventures: Park Ranger games.
Nothing has really changed much in this version, except maybe the items may be just a tad more difficult to find. But the faces are the same, as well as the music. But it doesn't matter. Sometimes change isn't always good, as in all of the Vacation Adventure games.
I highly recommend this game.
I recommend this game!
Enjoy Pinecreek Hills at its awesome best. Have a truly sensational summer vacation helping Rangers run an exciting national park.

I have every single Vacation Adventures - Park Rangers & Vacation Adventures - Cruise Director games and I play them over and over again. If it's not camping time in your area, just plug into this game, and you will feel like your sitting by the campfire, toasting a marshmallow and eating smores. It's realistic, graphics are vivid, and the games in between finding the various animals, are fun to play and keeps your interest.
I highly recommend buying this game as well as the #1-5 because you won't be disappointed.
I recommend this game!
Journey through fantastic landscapes and complete many interesting tasks and exciting puzzles.

I knew when I saw the cutscenes advertising this game that it would be a somewhat different game, and it is indeed a different game. It almost reminds me of the old 'I SPY' games. The graphics were nice and clear, the colors bright, and the voiceovers were easy to understand. I don't necessarily like the games/puzzles that accompany most games, but I enjoyed each and every one of them in Wave of Time. They were on the easy side but had enough challenge to grab and hold your attention. I also like the sounds, especially whenever something was found and placed in your inventory. The HOS were interactive as well.
You don't want to pass this game by. I highly recommend it. Enjoy :)

BASED ON 60 MINS OF DEMO PLAY ONLY:
I have all of the Witches Legacy games but haven't played them in awhile, so I was pleased to see a new game. The storyline is good, and the graphics are well done with the colors crisp and clean. This game has the familiar 'helper', Bertha the ferret, whose antics make me laugh every time. The HOS are fun and are just right (IMO), not too hard and not too easy. You also have the option of playing a Match 3 instead of the HOS if you prefer.The mini-games/puzzles were fun and somewhat on the easy side but I still enjoyed them.
All in all, I enjoyed the game and will add it to my Witches' Legacy collection. Give it a try. You might like it too. ENJOY :)
I recommend this game!

BASED ON 45 MINS OF GAMEPLAY:
I'm not a big fan of the 'Labyrinths of the World' games, and only have one game, 'Labyrinths of the World: Stonehenge Legends CE', so I was somewhat apprehensive about trying out this game. Here is my synopsis:
The game was OK, with good graphics, thrilling music to add to the excitement, and interesting and fun puzzles/mini-games that offered you the choice between easy and hard. The lip sync was pretty bad however, that reminded me of those old Japanese Godzilla movies where the lips moved long after you've heard the voice.
I do have to say that Big Fish hasn't been offering many games that have attracted my attention lately. Hopefully, this year will be better. However, give the demo a try. You may find this game to your liking. Enjoy :)
I recommend this game!

WAY TOO MANY SPIRITS FLOATING AROUND, WAY TOO FEW SPARKS TO EVEN LIGHT UP MY CANDLE

BASED ON 30 MINS OF DEMO PLAY ONLY:
It seems like all of the 'Spirits of Revenge' games are basically the same. You have a spirit seeking revenge for something murderous done to them, so there is really nothing new, per se about this game, that hasn't been done before in the previous versions. Here are my PROS & CONS:
PROS
1. HOP/MINI-PUZZLES: These were perhaps THE best features of the game. The HOP's were a mixed bag of fun. They were creative, from your basic seek-n-find item to placing objects back in their proper place within a book, to finding an item based only on the silhouette given. The few puzzles I encountered were on the easy side, but I myself like games on the easy side. Others may disagree.
2.SPIRITS: There was an abundance of ghostly mishaps, hauntings, and appearances in this game that made the title an appropriate fit. This could, however, be considered as a CON as well. I'll let you decide.
3. GRAPHICS: The graphics weren't all that bad. Some of the cutscenes were clear and the colors crisp, especially whenever they showed one of the girls.
4. LIP SYNCHING: It wasn't as bad as some of the games I've seen. The voices were appropriate and easy to understand.

4. LIP SYNCHING: It wasn't as bad as some of the games I've seen. The voices were appropriate and easy to understand.
CONS
1. STORYLINE: An old rehash of a story that has been done to death, (pun intended) IMO.
2. SPIRITS: Like I mentioned above, this game seemed to continually display the spirits of the dead girls. It would make the game a lot more interesting if every now and again a spirit would appear and do its thing. But when you have them appear more frequently than necessary, one can tire very easily from seeing them and stop playing the game.
3. DIFFICULTY LEVEL: As mentioned from one other reviewer, this game seemed more geared towards the beginner player, as it was on the easy side.

3. DIFFICULTY LEVEL: As mentioned from one other reviewer, this game seemed more geared towards the beginner player, as it was on the easy side.
All in all, this is your typical: BEEN THERE, DONE THAT game. For the experienced player, this game doesn't hold much of a challenge. But if you want an easy, peasy game then this game is perfect for you.
As always, try the demo first. ENJOY :)
I recommend this game!

BASED ON 40 MINS OF DEMO PLAY ONLY:
I don't know where my brain was when I started this game, but I must have left it somewhere because I found this game rather difficult. Before you start the game, you're given two options of gameplay:
1. CASUAL: A tutorial and hints are available, and hints are reloaded quickly OR
2. EXPERT: No tutorial or hints available, slow hint reloading (Now this sentence doesn't make sense. If you are given no hints, why does it say 'SLOW HINT RELOADING'?)
2. EXPERT: No tutorial or hints available, slow hint reloading (Now this sentence doesn't make sense. If you are given no hints, why does it say 'SLOW HINT RELOADING'?)
HERE ARE MY PROS & CONS:
PROS:
1. STORYLINE: A decent storyline, but typical. A journalist has gone missing after he goes to a house with a sinister history. Your goal is to find him before it's too late. I will let others go into much more detail about the background story.
2. MUSIC: It's decent, but a little distracting at times.
3. HINTS: I chose 'casual' play so the hints reloaded fast. The NEGATIVE aspect, however, was when you happened to click on the hint button, and it didn't necessarily direct you to somewhere in a scene, but instead you see a glittering line that runs across your inventory section. I wasn't quite sure if the hint indicated an item in my inventory, or to the map, so whenever this happened, I just clicked on the map for a hint instead.
4. HOS: Interesting, but somewhat on the easy side (which to be honest I enjoy).
5. MAP: This is provided at the beginning of the game and it tells you where you need to go, and is interactive also.
6. LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY: As I mentioned above, I found this game somewhat on the hard side (which is a definite + for most people).

6. LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY: As I mentioned above, I found this game somewhat on the hard side (which is a definite + for most people).
CONS
1. LIP MOVEMENT: Get ready for a laugh because I've never seen such poor lip synching in all of the many games that I have played. For you old folks: remember the old GODZILLA movies where the Japanese would talk, and a minute later their lips would move? This is how bad the lips moved in conjunction with the words.
2. GRAPHICS: Poorly done, especially in the cutscenes. The colors were drab and blurry.
3. INVENTORY ITEMS: I don't care for games where you continually collect items, but you don't use them right away.
4. OPTIONS: As I mentioned above, you're not given any other options of playing the game other than 'casual' and 'expert'.
5. TIME ALLOWED FOR DEMO: Instead of the usual 90 minutes, you're only given 60.

This is an unusual game, but I can't quite put my finger on why. Try it for yourself and see what YOU think. Enjoy :)
