The interface is very basic. Their are no additives like music traks or awards.
Graphics are good for a cartoon based game. It has great animation. Music is kind of funcky with catagories of an electronic circus organ, to mellow, to gluegrass to jazzy. I generally don't care for such music but it's not bad nor redundant. You can skip through the level dialogs.
Many levels are hard. No guide available but I was able to get expert mode on all levels, 3 just in time.
I would like to see an improved sequel of this game

Basically a new squeal to the last game. Graphics are good. Music is same various, Medieval themed, 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 that were tied to finishing the castle graphic.
The map interface has changed. With each level completed you build a emblem for each group of lands played. No land graphic of the map.
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 within the allotted time you get a section of a graphic castle built. You also get trophy awards depending on how well you do on a level. I was able to successfully complete all regular levels to build a massive castle 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.
