It's...pretty subpar. I'd hate to not recommend it since there isn't anything particularly broken about the game BUT...

It's outdated, there are a lot more better looking, better functioning games at its price. It's hard to convince someone to get it unless they're the type that prefers a much larger ratio of Hidden Object scenes to puzzles. I'd say there's about 95% HO scenes. It's chocful of it, although the items you look for are too easy to find and/or repeated throughout the HOs. Keep in mind, there are puzzles in this game too, not just HOs.

The graphics did not age well at all, with the background so poorly stretched across my monitor---it wasn't hard to differentiate which objects were clickable from the BGs, which made the challenge pretty much vanish. But again, there's so many HOs so if you're looking for a time waster, I suppose this will do...?

I feel like the lack of direction, since there's no "journal" was easy to forgive since all you have to do is pretty much follow the arrows and click anything that glittered. Still, there were some minigames where I had no idea what to do to solve it. It turns out you actually HAVE to click "HINT" in order to figure out the instructions to a mini-puzzle. There are 2-3 puzzles there that don't make sense at first glance.

Overall, I'm not sure. I probably wouldn't have gotten it outside a bundle, it's just too low quality in comparison to so much more many new ones. But I also feel like any developer should get as much support as it can to continue improving and providing good games. I guess if you're more of a quantity over quality type of HOG gamer, you'll definitely get your HOs worth with this.
