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.
I recommend this game!

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.
The game is fun and challenging as ever.
I recommend this game!

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.
I recommend this game!

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.
Fun to play though.
I recommend this game!

It has colorful graphics that are passable. The background music is orchestrated passable of a small variety.
It has a funky interface. It has some challenging levels in no time mode. In timed mode, winning the 3 stars was impossible for me past level 8. When you win 3 stars or gold you get to complete a build a graphic which can be done in no time mode.
No Easter eggs
So it’s fun to play in no time mode but frustrating in timed mode. Not much in the extras.
I recommend this game!

It’s basically the same game with new levels. It’s colorful, has good graphics, challenging scenarios. Music is orchestrated, Celtic based from rousing to relax. Only 1 basic theme.
I was able to win 3 stars in normal time mode, just barely on some levels.
There are several easter eggs to find, they are various icons on each level and vary from 3 to 6 varieties on each level. If you restart a level you have to find them all over again. Some are difficult to find.
On the map top bar you will find an extra selection which will take you to 2 guides. One is an easter egg locater and the other is a walk through video guide. They open up per each level your currently playing. They don’t exactly coincide with the level you are playing.
On 1 level the easter egg guide didn’t display the location of every egg and it shows up on the achievements display and on the map level which tells you how many of the eggs you have found on a hover over.
The game is fun and challenging as ever.
I recommend this game!

This is a very different TMG, It’s half strategy and half TMG. It has a difficult learning curve as play is complex. It’s colorful, nice graphics, not much animation. The mood music is nice orchestrated stuff that I find quite boring. I played it as I ran out of other TMG games. It was kind of challenging to figure out what to do to complete each level or task.
It has a strategy guide in the Extras section.
Because of it’s complexity I did not attempt the timed mode and I was not endeared to this game. It has some other nice stuff for those who like this type of game.
There are gold coins everywhere to find to purchase bonus spells. The game can keep you occupied for hours.
I recommend this game!

It’s colorful, has decent graphics, challenging scenarios. Music is relaxing, not very dynamic.
Besides a few very challenging levels, I found that in the normal time modes 3 stars are easily achievable.
There are several easter eggs to find. One is a Bat-Icon that randomly pops up, if you missed them the first round just replay to get the rest. They are tied to 3 paintings. There are items to find that are displayed in a right hand sliding display. They vary from 3 to 6. They are tied to a beautiful mosaic. They are hard to find though. Once found no need to find again on a replay. For every star you earn it goes toward a puzzle graphic piece. You don’t need to get 3 stars on every level to get all the peaces of the puzzle.
It has a bare-bones guide for each level with locations for the Runes and a basic start help guide. You can turn hints on or off.
I recommend this game!
