The HO scenes for this games are still pretty easy as far as HO games go, but they are harder than the other games in the series. I still love the characters in this series. This game has a little better graphics than the other three games (still not realistic, but more beautiful this time). Worth 7 bucks, in my opinion.

I recommend this game!

It took a while for me to get a feel for the game...it worked a bit different than most other HOGs. All the scenes were delightfully full of items and your find list had some interaction, 2 birds to find in each scene that sat atop the hint meter, 2 lightning bolts to find in each scene which provided your number of hints. I very rarely use hints in HOGs, at the end of the game I had accumulated ...Show more

It took a while for me to get a feel for the game...it worked a bit different than most other HOGs. All the scenes were delightfully full of items and your find list had some interaction, 2 birds to find in each scene that sat atop the hint meter, 2 lightning bolts to find in each scene which provided your number of hints. I very rarely use hints in HOGs, at the end of the game I had accumulated 25 of them. There is no click penalty, so you can click to your heart's content. The items are very small and/or well hidden and tricky. I don't mind the heavy challenge and a magnifying glass will become your best friend throughout much of the game. There is also a scanner to help in each scene, it will be easier to catch onto than to try and describe here. There is an additional step to completing a few of your found objects but it is fun and all easy to figure out. The game involved traveling across the globe seeking important artifacts and bringing them back to a museum to keep them safe and out of the hands of the female villain. It was a fun and busy journey and the story was different for a change and it was good. It even had a very satisfying ending which was not abrupt like so many others are. So for a less sophisticated game, it delivered a really good time and I am looking forward to playing my other Samantha games, hoping the challenge will be as enjoyable in those as well. Bonus feature at the end provides all the HO games, allowing you to collect points and test your time skills with no pressured time limits to drive you nuts. You can replay them as often as you like. It was fun, challenging myself. This entire Samantha Swift game, has great replay value and I highly recommend it Show less

I recommend this game!

I REALLY liked playing this game BUT I did NOT like the following:

*CONSTANTLY having to click on an item time and time and time again before it could be picked up

Several times I used the hint button only to discover that, in fact, what I was trying to pick up was the correct item. I found that aspect of the game VERY annoying and frustrating.

I recommend this game!

This is a very nice HOG with some interactive scenes and puzzles that is well worth your money! Despite its age, it doesn't look and feel too dated, and I actually like the graphics! Well-crafted story and characters, too!

There's high replayability, as you can try to beat your previous scores. You can also unlock a hidden object mode (with scenes from the game) that you can replay separately and also try to beat your score.
And there's a museum where all your findings are collected. Show less

I recommend this game!

That's all this was...one big HOG. There was no adventure, a couple of very lame tiny puzzles. You were popped from HOG screen to HOG screen. The most boring game I have ever played. I don't mind HO, but with decent graphics and story etc.

I don't recommend this game.
