I really enjoyed this game and the old school feel. I sometimes get tired of all the adventure hidden object games and just want to find hidden objects not move around to different locations trying to figure out what to do next. Wish Big Fish would give us more games like this one.

I recommend this game!

This is a lovely, colourful HO game with pleasant music & great graphics, about 3 friends whom you join sightseeing to of course Acapulco.
Some scenes were a breeze, others I finally used a hint for, as the item (s) were ridiculously (in my opinion) disguised ie dark or same colour as the item it was laying on top of.
There are silhouettes to find as well.

The hints seemed to add up as you played, as I was surprised @ times to see how many I had.
I really enjoyed the game, & felt like I was really there - bit like on the Cruise games.
Looking forward to seeing more sights Show less

I recommend this game!

This was nice "old fashion" HO...which is good for me. I am very sick of all the gore that is out there. This game was refreshing.
I don't believe it would be good for high energy people...this is slow paced, but it is a good HO.

I recommend this game!

This game is a bit rough around the edges but with some polish could be a really fun, old-fashioned HO adventure. True, it is rather basic but I am trying to look beyond that and provide some hope to the developers. The fuzziness of the zoom-in screen is annoying, and some of the objects were nearly impossible to find. I think that this could be a good series if the graphics are cleaned up and ...Show more

This game is a bit rough around the edges but with some polish could be a really fun, old-fashioned HO adventure.

The fuzziness of the zoom-in screen is annoying, and some of the objects were nearly impossible to find. I think that this could be a good series if the graphics are cleaned up and brought up to date. Keep at it developers, you have the right basic idea... Show less

I happen to enjoy HO games that are true to the description of hidden objects. This one is very simplistic, but still enjoyable. Story line so far is kinda lame and I had to shut off the music which was extremely loud (couldn't figure out how to lower the sound level). I purchased the game at a 1/2 off discount which is probably the only way I would have paid for it.

I recommend this game!

This could have been such a great game with a bit more time and effort in the development. There is a timer that is a bit fast but there is no penalty for not completing the scene in time. There is a zoom feature to get up close to hunt for objects but it does not zoom the entire screen (just the top two thirds or so) and it is fuzzy when zoomed in. I was already repeating levels within the first ...Show more

This could have been such a great game with a bit more time and effort in the development. There is a timer that is a bit fast but there is no penalty for not completing the scene in time. There is a zoom feature to get up close to hunt for objects but it does not zoom the entire screen (just the top two thirds or so) and it is fuzzy when zoomed in. I was already repeating levels within the first fifteen minutes of play, and there are no mini-games or puzzles, just the hidden objects. I really wanted to like this game but the graphics and development just didn't live up to my expectations. But everyone is different, so please try it for yourself. What bothers me may not bother other players. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

A straight seek-and-find game, no little mini games between scenes. Some objects were quite challenging to find and you're allowed a few wrong guesses (3? 4?) after which they'll cost you $50 each. I found the music and characters annoying, not much of a storyline either. It's obvious that English isn't the developers' native tongue (eg, waffer instead of waffle).

I found the music and characters annoying, not much of a storyline either. It's obvious that English isn't the developers' native tongue (eg, waffer instead of waffle). You can zoom in to magnify part of the scene but that's very rarely necessary which is a good thing because things get fairly blurry when you do. Not a purchase for me but if you like nothing but seeking hidden objects the entire time you play and don't care about the lack of an even remotely interesting story, I'd recommend you give this game a try.

I don't recommend this game.

No one can match the original for quality and entertainment value.

My chief complaint about this game is the graphics are just blurry enough to be very irritating.

I don't see the point of having a timer. This one doesn't keep you from completing the scene but it's also irritating. I do not like timers, period.

Then there is the too big string of letters. One must scroll back and forth. ...Show more

Oh and awkward wording like "... leave our lives to our husbands." Huh?

This game can't hold a candle to Vacation Adventures. Show less
