Nice game, Variety of puzzles and locations are just amazing. Beautiful bright scenes and items are hidden very well. I have been waiting for this game. It reminded me of my vacation in France, which was memorable.

When you play the same scene again, the hidden items are not at the same location every time and that is a little bit challenging.

I recommend this game!

Loved this game, I played it in relaxed mode and it has given me hours of valuable wind down time at the end of the day when you don't want time pressures etc and just want to chill.

Great graphics.

Recommend.

I recommend this game!

Scenes are simi realistic looking. Objects are easy to see, but cleverly hidden (but not too hard to find). Just an easy going fun time.

I recommend this game!

I loved Vacation Adventures: California but I wasn't crazy about traveling to France. I liked the outdoorsy, camping kind of vibes as I traveled around California but for me, France is such an overused and typical HOG theme so it just seemed like another travel HOG.

I loved Vacation Adventures: California but I wasn't crazy about traveling to France. I liked the outdoorsy, camping kind of vibes as I traveled around California but for me, France is such an overused and typical HOG theme so it just seemed like another travel HOG. The biggest complaint I have is that it doesn't adjust to my large screen automatically (Alienware 38" curved monitor) and I have to play in windowed mode or adjust the resolution on my computer which is a pain.

You can choose from 3 different difficulty modes, a Relaxed Mode with a 15-second Hint recharge and no misclick penalties, a Medium Mode with a 35-second hint recharge and a misclick penalty, or a Hard mode which is Timed and has a 60-second hint recharge and misclick penalty. FYI: you will earn bonus points if you don't use any Hints.

There is a Magnifying Glass feature that works really well on the main scenes but doesn't work on zoom zones. The Magnifier (+) disappears once you click on an object, which I found to be very annoying. It would be wonderful if you just had to right-click to discard the magnifier when you no longer needed it versus disappearing after every single click, which is usually the case in most HOGs with magnifying glass zoom feature.

Each Scene has two Zoom Zones which needs a few tweaks in my opinion. First of all, you can't use the Magnifying Glass feature in the Zoom Zones. Secondly, it would be nice if the listed items were highlighted when a Zoom Zone is opened. Third, I think it would be even better if the zoom zone would close automatically once the items have been found, and reopen if new items appear on the list (as you find items, new items appear on the list)

There are 5 Variations of HOGs as you replay the scenes. Listed Items, Silhouetted Shapes, Scrambled Letters, Missing Vowels, and Riddled Clues. The Scenes will have either a Fleur-de-Lis or a French Flag to find, collecting 60 Fleur-de-Lis will unlock the Unlimited Mode, and finding 60 French Flags will unlock 60 Bonus Mini-games. Each scene also has an 8-Ball that is worth 60,000 extra points, and items listed in Blue require an interactive task such as finding and placing a feather on a hat.

The Collector's Edition version has 60 Main HO locations, 14 additional scene locations that are incorporated within the regular locations and are marked with a CE rosette, and 19 Gold Medal Achievements

So if you have never played one of these Vacation Paradise games, and you want a strictly hidden object game, then you would probably find this one rather relaxing and possibly entertaining. However, this newest location of France plays exactly the same as the previous games in this series.

So if you have never played one of these Vacation Paradise games, and you want a strictly hidden object game, then you would probably find this one rather relaxing and possibly entertaining. However, this newest location of France plays exactly the same as the previous games in this series.

It would be nice if there were some mini games to distract you from the constant hidden object searching. Most vital to these games would be a zoom feature. After all, not everyone has super large screens or perfect vision.

A change up of music would be a welcome bonus as well. Why not throw in a peppy jazz number or dance tune? Not everyone wants to take a nap in the middle of playing a game, LOL.

Oddly enough, I'm going to recommend the game because I think it would be perfectly fine for those who simply want to find hidden objects. There aren't too many of those types of games out there, so this one would be perfect for those folks. Show less

I recommend this game!

I believe I have never wished so hard for a game to be finished, but I was determined to hang in there until the bitter end. The graphics are good, but very small even on my large screen. I was hoping for varied scenes, but they are repeated over and over and over... I think one of my major complaints is that I spent too much time searching for items that were misnamed.

I believe I have never wished so hard for a game to be finished, but I was determined to hang in there until the bitter end. The graphics are good, but very small even on my large screen. I was hoping for varied scenes, but they are repeated over and over and over... I think one of my major complaints is that I spent too much time searching for items that were misnamed. Look for a rooster, but that he is a she: a hen. A manhole is not a hole in the ground, but the cover. A jigsaw is actually a jigsaw puzzle piece. Sometimes a balloon is a balloon, but the same picture in the next puzzle is called a hot air balloon. Arrggh! This is something that I will never revisit. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

Too bad the games have to be continually recycled. Would be nice to play a game which I have not already tried.

I don't recommend this game.
