    User Review by buzzworthy

    The game’s creators are Retro64 (now are parts of PopCap) which also developed Venice [Deluxe] in 2007 so you can see between them has many similarities. Anyway, it doesn’t worth the 4.5 star-score at all and I prefer Venice. [PROS] Almost nothing. Just an entertainment game which hadn’t been taken care much -- “Just for Relaxing”. [CONS] Rushing design: bad theme; ugly characters, objects and all scenes; repetitive Hidden Object and additional mini-games. Unfair “Guess What” gameplay: ho-hum power-ups; zero Replay Value. Monotonous story: lacks of details; silly ending; talkative character (yeah, The Wizard’s Pen). -- How about “Venice 2 [Deluxe]”??? ;) Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    This game has good graphics. The game play was very boring to me after a very short while. I liked what little HO there was it was different. I think the guessing what was on the page should have been a mini game and not the main game play. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    I totally agree with gnashif. This is a very different casual game that has a very pretty look, cheery music and interesting game play. The items to be uncovered are not always that easily identified. I don't think a small kid could play this, JMO. The hidden objects section plays backwards; you put them in instead of taking them out. It may get boring to sit and play this continually, but it is a nice change of pace that is different than all the rest. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    I totally agree with kaerbaer, boring!! Nice graphics and scenes, but that's about it. I too think it is suitable for children, abet young ones around 7 or 8 Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    this was the most boring rpredictable game I have ever played - worse than most match 3's and I really dislike them - it came across as having little point and very childish I like to feel challenged in a game and this game had no challenge to it whatsoever - even the hidden object section was boring and predictable - I mean how hard is it to know that hair goes on the bald man give me a break - this game was an insult to the intelligence of adults and would be better suited to children Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    I guess it's ok but a little boring 2 me, when all you do is draw and have to guess what the pic is. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    I can understand how this game can be cute and quite addictive, but not for me. If you are the artistic type, I'm guessing this game would probably be right up your alley. Unfortunately I'm not artistic. After a while, I found the game quite boring (as another reviewer stated). It just didn't hold my attention. Fifteen minutes was all I could stand.

    Just released today 2/18/2009 on Gamehouse, this is a terrific game, and very fun to play. The game play is challenging although at times it does become a little tedious. But, I enjoyed every moment of the game, lots of levels. Good hint system. Nice use of potions such as anagram and freeze time. I also like the fact that you do not have to be exact in your answers for example typing "watch" for a stop watch, wrist watch etc. will be correct. Also I misspelled words purposely and it did recognize them. An innovative game, thoroughly engrossing. At least that is one man's opinion. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Average graphics, decent if unimpressive presentation. The "guess the image" sequences are a bit frustrating, depending on luck as well (anyone can recognize an 8 ball by seeing the 8, nobody will guess it by seeing only the table). Bending the hidden object premise (instead of finding objects, you have to find... missing objects :)) is interesting, but makes the game harder to play. Overall, an original take on the HOG that's worth at least a look. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Love this game. I play alot of games and this type of game I have never seen before. Its very challenging. You have to have a good eye for naming diffrent items before the full picture is shown. The upgrades you get in this game are cool magic potions. I recommend everyone to try the trial version and I know you will end up purchasing the game.

    Developer is to be congratulated on creating something different, but - sorry - after playing for 45 minutes or so I began to find it very boring. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Pretty cute and different. I enjoyed the graphics. Beautifully done. And for those who don't type well, the game is forgiving and lets you get the points anyway. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Talk about a Fresh and Awesome game!! Well done, well done. I agree though about needing dowloads for extra levels once you finish the game. Cmon popcap you have so much $$!! L8tr, Keysha Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    I played it for about 30 minutes, but got bored. I love a good HOG, but this one was pretty tedious, even if it is a new idea. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    I adored the concept of this game. Very unique concept from the usual HOGs. I at first thought it had no replay value but discovered that if you beat the game & then replay with the same user name;it switches things up a bit ;)The problem is that if you set up a new player name, everything thing stays the same.I have yet to test this in the Sketchbooks mode.<br> Overall I give this game a thumbs up.

    Kudos for the original concept and execution, but I found I was really bored after playing for 20 minutes or so. There is a mix of puzzle types, so not totally monotonous, but not enough to keep my interest (and I usually have a pretty long attention span!) Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    I thought this was a great game. A completely different twist to any HO game I've ever played. I think it's a definate must try. I would love to have gotten to all the puzzles I opened up, but sadly enough time ran out. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

    Very original puzzler, and tons of fun. Very good intelligence: for example, they called something a teapot & I called it a kettle, and it understood. A good variety of things to do--HO (draw where they go), guess the picture from parts, or twisted, or from a zoom out. I didn't mind the typing myself, but if you dislike typing answers or have tenditis/arthritis/etc. it may be hard on you. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate
