Basically a new sequel to the last game. Graphics are good. Music is same various laid-back, soppy, electronic- simulated orchestra but pleasing. Has many challenging, hard levels. Has a little arcadia of interfering clouds and bats which stop progress until clicked away. Has difficult arcade levels of which I could only complete some of them. I did not like those arcade levels.
There are no easter eggs. One thing I hated was that if you wanted to go to map level while playing a level you had to first go to the entry interface instead of directly to the map.
You are stuck with a single time mode. If you successfully complete the level withing the alloted time you get a section of a graphic castle built. I was able to successfully complete all regular levels to complete a massive fortress.

Great graphics, spooky music. The match 3 games have embedded puzzles that must be solved to proceed further. There are side games of solitaire, board clearing, find hidden objects and find differences. Finding hidden objects differences are real challenges as the differences and objects are very subtle.
The object is to disinfect a mansion of demon possessions which shows up in the top level interface. You will spend many hours doing so by solving the various puzzles. If you get stuck it has a basic hint interface which you can disable. The game has various mode options on time and moves.

Graphics are OK, music is orchestrated, light hearted, soppy. Some people like that kind of music but I don't.
The game play is basically building the railroad while picking up and delivering Goods. You have to decide which way to build the railroad in order to beat the clock for the highest award. There is only 1 timed mode and difficulty level.
What really turned me off on the game is an arcade event where cows were dropped on the tracks and you have to click on them to chase them away. They leave behind milk cars, which if too many get piled on your engine crashes. That was too much.
I quit the game at level 7. Another thing I hated is that you can't go from full screen to window mode while playing the game, you have to go back to the main interface.

Graphics are good for a cartoon based game. Music is varied, orchestrated. I generally don't care for such music but it's not bad nor redundant. You can skip through cut scenes or level dialogs.
Many levels are harder, more challenging. It has a guide for each one you can loosely follow. I got 3 stars in normal mode. It has a timeless mode.
It has a gorgeous puzzle scene where the pieces are scattered randomly throughout the levels. The Puzzle is animated. At map level it will show you if that level has a puzzle piece. Once you find the puzzle piece you don't need to find it again on a replay.
It has the usual awards as in previous versions.
New Yankee has solidified it's place among TMG games.

It’s basically the same game with new senarios. It’s colorful, has basic graphics, but very challenging levels. Background music is relaxing Celtic themed and is diverse.
I was able to win 3 stars in normal time mode, just barely on several levels.
It has icon easter eggs to find, some hard to find. They are tied to a puzzle picture. Once found you don’t need to find them again on a replay. It has bat popup easter eggs tied is tied to 3 paintings. If you win in 3 stars they fill in a picture of a ship. But you don't need to be in timed mode to get all that.
The guide is very basic and just gives you some direction how to proceed.

IIt's a simple interface game. The graphics are basic but not bad. The music is tropical themed, varied. The game is stuck in timed mode, you have no choice.
I was able to complete all levels although the difficulty was high for many levels. Many levels I finished just in time after several tries.
There are no easter eggs in this game. There is no strategy guide.

The graphics are basic but pleasing. The background music is somewhat medieval based but not much in variety. It's not bad.
There are easter eggs. They are semi-transparent coins- 3 per level and 1 bonus icon. They are generally hard to find.
To complete a Hero's graphic you must reach 3 stars awards in timed mode. It's not hard to do, if you take the right approach you usually have plenty of time left over. Each level has a strategy guide to loosely follow.
I completed every level in 3 stars in timed mode. My advice is to find the easter eggs in casual mode first and then come back in timed mode. Keep track of what level your on, if you quit the game it will just automatically start at the last level you played through after restarting it.
It however will advance to the next level after the one you played if you keep the game running and just put the computer to sleep and wake the computer up from it. But after a while the system may lock up forcing a hard restart. After that if you restart the game it will put you on the level you last played though loosing your last timed level place.
Note: Hard restarts are dangerous as it can wipe-out settings, programs and a normal startups without changing recovery modes. That's something you will have to explore in technical advice websites on startup options.

It has the same great graphics. Background music is very diverse. It has new scenorio features and some very challenging levels.
Some levels have owl easter eggs to find, they are animated characters. One found you need not find them again on a replay.
I completed each level in 3 stars award timed except level 2B which seemed imposible to get to 3 star, or even 1 star. One walk- through site didn't even have that level recorded.
