Storyline
5/ 5
I just finished the introductory Quest. I play with the timer off (belt loops) as I do in most games. Panic sets in when I run low on time which results in stupid mistakes. But the game is fun without that rush. Just completing a level gives enough satisfaction for me. Years ago I tried and passed up these games because of the frustration of having to repeat levels and cussing Joe out because he would not let me go on. When I learned I could turn it off in Leah's Story, I went back and bought earlier games and all the new ones. The other feature I toggled off was the Black and White levels--those are really hard but now I get them in color.
I saw comments that say it is too hard. It doesn't have to be if you turn the belt loops off. It has great variety and after the Quest is done, you can skip around.
Am enjoying the game greatly. I have only had revealed 3 things in the garden so far. While lovely, you are not likely to find these at the South Pole. No fauna or trees or other such are found there--only miles deep of ice and snow. But that's okay. Would be a pretty boring garden to depict it accurately.
