Graphics are great at a cartoon level. Music- they have a whole new repertoire of varied stuff, I did not find it exciting. The story is OK.
All the levels are 3 star winnable in normal time mode if you chose the right advantage bonuses from stars earned in the right sequence. The strategy guide runs in video play mode prompting you to make the next suggested move. You can ad-lib on it and most likely improve on a better approach.
It has the same relative play interface as before. A nice feature is you can vary the time speed via a bar accessed under the menu selection meaning you can speed it up or slow it down.
The easter eggs are puzzle pieces on each level. Icons on the interface will tell you if you located them or not. Once found you need not relocate them on a replay in your current time mode of the 3.
You can play the games all the way through in no time mode and see all the puzzles and play all the levels, you just won't add to the 3 star graphic build that you can only achieve in one of the timed modes.
The game is basically fun to play and winnable in normal timed mode. You can click on some items in the playing field and watch special effects
I recommend this game!
Story-driven time management fun in a land of wonder!

Basically the same game as before with new scenario levels and twists. Graphics are passable. You can get some bonus helpers through the Unicorn. There are 3 graphics to complete as before. 1 is by finding easter eggs on each level which give you a puzzle piece, 2 is by clicking on a bat creature that randomly pops up for a few seconds (2 per level), 3 is by stars earned from completing each level. One thing about the bat pop-ups is you can go back to previous levels ad get more on the replay accumulatively.
The very orchestrated, laid back mood music will put you to sleep if played before bedtime. It has a play by the numbers strategy guide that only shows a way to proceed but not closely to follow. It has a good window mode.
I was able to complete every level in normal time mode. The levels were very challenging in this sequel.
The game is a fun to play timed or untimed.
I recommend this game!

I was able to complete every level in normal time mode except the last one which I deemed the impossible level. No way could I complete that level within the time constrains for 3 stars. But you can get all the stars needed by playing untimed. But playing in timed mode is 4x the fun.
The game is a fun way to pass the time but I will not recommend nor condemn it for the last level hardness of completion in timed mode.

Graphics are great at a cartoon level. Music is varied, western flavored with mostly traditional instruments of the old west. The story is OK. All the main levels are 3 star winnable in normal time mode if you chose the right advantage bonuses from stars earned in the right sequence. It has a fairly good strategy guide for reference.
But most of the bonus levels were impossible for me to get 3 stars in timed mode. But the stars earned in the bonus levels do not go toward purchasing any unearned bonus handicaps advantages, only in the main levels. Disappointing. It has a good window mode.
The easter eggs are owl characters in each level. Some are difficult to locate in window mode. Once found you don't need to find again on the replay. Their are 45 regular levels and 15 bonus levels. It has side level arcade matching games along the path.
The game is basically fun to play. For the unwinnable bonus levels for 3 stars timed, I will not recommend this game, but I won't condemn it either.

Basically the same game as before with new scenario levels. Same great graphics, same bonus handicaps to get, same easter egg collectible puzzle pieces to find, more orchestrated mood music (OK) which you can download. It has a fairly good strategy guide that only shows a way to proceed but not closely follow.
I found the music mostly boring, laid back. Many of the levels were more difficult in this version. On the bonuses you get a choice of 3 to choice after so many levels. And you get gear bonuses to choose and some are duplicate that can be swapped for different game scenarios. You can play the game in a no time mode all the way through. You can get all the bonuses you would get for timed play. If on some level you didn't get the 3 stars in timed mode just shoot for the most appropriate bonuses and come back to try again.
But there is one game level, #22, that no matter how I played it I never had enough time to get 3 stars, and that was in normal time mode. Best I could do was 2 stars with all bonuses available. And the strategy guide was flawed for that level, if I played it as suggested, I would be short gold by 90 count. I would have to build the gold refiner to make up for the shortage which wasn't prescribed in the guide. And I have found this out for other levels too. So my disappointment was on that sector of the game, not enough time for 3 stars in normal timed mode. Still it's fun to play to pass the time.
So I will not give any recommendation for this game for that reason.

It has decent graphics on a cartoon level. The mood music is like what you might hear in an old folks home, orchestrated, some different varieties.
There are 3 time modes- no time, normal and extreme timed. Each level has an easter egg, a treasure chest of gold. Some levels will have a bonus egg to pick up for a playing advantage. On significant custom settings, you can go to full or windowed screen. You have all kinds of sound settings.
Most levels are not difficult but there are a few that are challenging. I got through every one in normal timed mode. Some are tedious in winning the precribed goals.
Thankfully this game had no arcade challenges.
It's an OK game to pass the time, like listening to talk shows.
I recommend this game!

Graphics are OK at a cartoon level. Music is varied, orchestrated changes per segment of levels. The story is OK. All levels are 3 star winnable in easy time mode but hard in Time mode. There are 3 timed modes- easy, normal, hard. Settings are basic, it has a good window mode.
It has some challenging hard levels. There are no handicap- aide bonuses. The easter eggs are map pieces that you collect on each segment that you must assemble to play the side bonus level game. Some are difficult to locate in window mode. Once found you don't need to find again on the replay. There are 50 levels plus 5 bonus levels.
After the last level you get 20 extra levels in the extra section to play.
The game is basically fun to play in untimed mode and challenging in timed mode. I was not able to win all levels in normal timed mode, I got hung-up on level 31. Just could not get the gold star even following a walkthrough. The guy did it in hard mode and I was in normal time mode and I still couldn't be fast enough to get 3 stars. Just too hard for me. I did not try the other upper levels in Time mode.
A nuclear accident looms, and it’s up to you to prevent it!

Rescue Team - Attack of the Atom CE
Basically the same game as before with new scenario levels. Same great graphics, same bonuses to get, same easter egg collectible art to find in the bonus sections, more orchestrated mood music which you can download.
I found the music mostly boring, laid back. Many of the levels were more difficult in this version. The game did have an update to allow for more time in the 2 timed modes. You can play the game in a no time mode all the way through. You can get all the stars you need for all the bonuses with around 25 to spare. If on some level you didn't get the 3 stars in timed mode just shoot for the most appropriate bonuses and come back to try again.
But there is one game level, #9, that no matter how I played it I never had enough time to get 3 stars, and that was in normal time mode. Best I could do was 2 stars. So my frustration was on that sector of the game. And in the clip-art card section, easter eggs in bonus levels, there seemed to be 1 card item missing, perhaps 2. Still it's fun to play to pass the time.

This version is more winnable, less aggravating. In my previous review of Demeters Cat-astrophe Collectors Edition I despaired on the game having unwinnable levels in timed mode, especially those levels with the wizard. Well I ran out of TMG games to play and I just went and replayed the levels I lost in Cat-astrophe and eventually won them, although it took many replays. I still don't like those levels with the wizard. In this new game the wizard is replace with a multi-eyed monster that turns the servants into stone if caught, but it was easier to avoid the attacks. And as before, the stone curse can be lifted at cost.
This game has good, detailed and colorful graphics, no dark screens. Music is the same 4 riffs of a mixed Celtic-Medieval type orchestrated music, not bad but not enough variety.
The interface has the basic options of Full Screen, Tutorial and Game Cursor. But you still can't disable the dialogs which are a nuisance on replays There are 3 time modes- Easy, Normal and Difficult.
The bonus levels are tied to episode sections and you must get 3 stars for all episode levels to play.
The game has very basic strategy guides. It does show you the location of the hidden easter egg in each level. The easter egg is a square H jewel object. With each star award you get these purple tokens that go toward purchasing bonus advantages.
I was able to get 3 star awards on each level in basic time mode without any aggravations. I approved this sequel.
I recommend this game!

Graphics are basic but not bad. The music is orchestrated, corny, funky, boring; some 15 variety. 2 time modes, untimed and timed. There are 40 levels in the standard section with some side bonus games. Beyond the standard section is the CE section of 10 games.
One thing I hate about the interface menu is if you exit from a level it takes you directly to the Manson graphic. You have to hit a button to the right to exit to the map level. And the map level section does not tell you how many stars you have won until you put your icon person on it.
There is this graphic of a mansion that you can build from money earned. You earn the money from treasure easter eggs and coins on the playing grid and completing the level. Once you get the coins they don't appear on the replay but the easter egg does. You can build sections of the mansion depending on how much money you have earned. You have a choice of variations of a color scheme that can be changed at any time.
There are award emblems that are earned by completing some levels with 3 stars in timed mode. They are very colorful.
As you go through the levels you earn handicap play bonus advantages.
The strategy guide is decent and shows you the easter egg locations
I completed the standard section in timed mode with 3 stars on all levels. In the CE section however there were 2 levels that seems impossible to win for 3 stars even if I followed a video walk through.
I will not endorse nor condemn this game. It has some nice features to it others may enjoy.
