Continuing adventures of agents of the League of Light agency. A menacing plant entity has invaded an island and is taking it over. The agent must find plant specimens to formulate a toxin against it.
The game is kind of boring as most of the time you are going out and finding plant specimens and fighting them and their captive townsfolk minions. When you find enough specimens you return to formulate a more powerful toxin via solving a molecule puzzle.
A few of the puzzles are tedious. Finding some of the items at each area came to be very challenging as the graphics are not that sharp. As in previous games there are owl easter eggs. If you don't find them while playing the game, you can find them at the end of the main and bonus games.
There is no scarecrow boy to help you out as in the previous game series.

Colorful, balanced graphics and challenging. Play is similar to it's 1st generation. The game has 4 modes untimed, easy, normal and hard. I completed every level in Easy mode walk in the park. There are easter eggs in this game or artifacts you must find.
3 have to do with a circle in the top RH corner of the game, you must final all 3 segments on every level to go to the bonus level below every area doorway.
The second you must find when the traveler pops up with the item to find or the artifact disappears, there is a little time bar to let you know how much time remains. The items have to do with various mechanisms on each door area that appears in the foreground if you find all the items in each level. The items to find appear at the loading of the game level and at the end when scores are posted.
No pirates appeared in this game in the easy or untimed modes. The hardest part is finding the hidden artifacts.
I recommend this game!

It has some nice graphics that appear to be of the technology of 20 years ago. The mood music is good too. Most of the puzzles are solvable without hints.
One of the features is collecting hidden puzzle pieces and solving them in a diary book. The pieces were hard to manipulate, and I had trouble finding 3 of them, had to use the online walkthrough at Bigfish. It's not bad if you have nothing better.

Colorful, balanced graphics and challenging. Play is similar to it's 1st generation. I completed every level in Normal mode that the game labels Casual mode but it still is timed. There are easter eggs in this game or artifacts you must find. One is hidden outright, the second one you must find when the explorer pops up with the item to find in about 2 minuets or the artifact disappears. At the end of the level the artifacts found or to be found are displayed.
There are some very nick- of- time levels, especially in the bonus section. There is a mode called arcade that is a pirate that pops in to mess up your progress. And he pops in at the very last bonus level making it hard to complete the game in the Casual mode.
I thought this game would win the end of year awards. It's very colorful with rich Christmas decorations and the puzzles are not overwhelming. It has nice Easter eggs of Christmas tree decorations and tokens to decorate a lovely Christmas room. The music can be kind of weird at times but it's not bad.
One thing to note, on finding some objects- they are buried in other hidden objects you have to examine, search carefully.
I would have thought this game would fill everyone with the Christmas spirit.

It's a magical game so don't get turned off if Puzzles don't work out logical, many adventure-puzzle games on BF are not totally logical. I could work out each one by just tinkering with it and eventually solving it.
This game is more forgiving in puzzles then many others. This game would be good for people of 7 on up depending on aptitude.
2 Easter eggs to find are Geodes and Inventions. Go to their gallery and click on them, they have a hidden story behind them.
I recommend this game!

The game is kind of run- of- the- mill for an adventure game but not boring to play. Most puzzles are not hard but 2 are crazy. It has some bugs. The audio is not synced in with the character animation. But graphics are good with live actor insertion.
Some achievements are not registered- although achieved. Flower location misses 2 flowers near the end of the game. Opting out of the animated sequences would be desirable on reruns. The hint icon is too large and too near the playing field, I accidentally hit it 2x during game play.
This is a nice, challenging game for young and adult adventurers. It has excellent graphics, good mucial scores and decent, solvable puzzles thtat won't boggle the mind.
The most challenging things are finding the collectable monsters and morphing objects. The 3rd thing to find are heart shapes blending in the background.
You won't get overwhelmed with this game. But there seem to be some things that where not developed properly or broken threads in the story lines. Non the less it was fun and challenging to play.

Rescue Team Series.
The first 2 are very basic in graphics but levels are challenging, all winnable. Works different from the later series. The character renditions looked better then when the 4 and after series came. The first 3 or 5 you have no option from timed versions.
In version 3 the characters became roguish and the dialog was devious. They worked for the cash- baby.
In version 4 and later series came the big change in graphics and game play. Characters became very cartoonish but graphics became more detailed.
If you like time management you'll like this series. I like playing them when listening to talk radio.
