I've already enjoyed two other games in this series - Around the World in 80 Days-The Challenge, and The Three Musketeers-D'Artagnon and the 12 Diamonds, but this is my favourite (OK, I'm a sucker for a beautifully drawn Arabian Nights tale). I found most of the mini games original and needing some thought. The storyline held my attention, Aladin has unexpected ups and downs, a bit like Kismet. ...Show more

I've already enjoyed two other games in this series - Around the World in 80 Days-The Challenge, and The Three Musketeers-D'Artagnon and the 12 Diamonds, but this is my favourite (OK, I'm a sucker for a beautifully drawn Arabian Nights tale). I found most of the mini games original and needing some thought. The storyline held my attention, Aladin has unexpected ups and downs, a bit like Kismet. Rather too much dialogue, but you can click through it. I read most of it first time through but will be glad to skip more of it when re-playing. I don't know what language this was written in, but one or two clues got lost in translation - "arc" turned out to be a bow - as in bow and arrow! - got mixed up with rainbow?? Show less

I recommend this game!

Classic middle eastern fairy tale. Primarily a HO game with a few puzzles. Graphics are beautiful and clear. Full screen does NOT fill 15” laptop. You have the option of playing timed or not. HO list is not fixed and new items will appear as you click off old items. There is a click penalty. There is a button to the left that will allow you to zoom in one level, then back…..you can also move the screen right, left, up or down by holding down the left mouse bottom and sliding, all of which will be necessary as some items are rather small.

At bottom left is a red button, it is your “clue” (or hint) button, you are given a limited amount of clues, but can add to them by finding a bonus item in each scene. Music is different than we normally get, lovely, traditional middle eastern. There are no voice overs, but has ample text. The characters are cartoon characters, cute.

HO fans should enjoy this, relaxing music and great visuals with challenging but not aggravating HO scenes. Show less

I recommend this game!

a fun game which is different from the usual games. loved the scenery. i played the timed option but it became increasingly difficult, for me, and eventually had to start over with the standard version. but all good. i found the story a little entertaining, though a bit too much dialogue. would like to see more timed atmospheric games.

I recommend this game!

This would be a nice game, a pleasant break from the "Doom and Gloom" games that abound lately, except I found the hidden objects too small, and difficult to find. I have a large widescreen monitor, and it still was difficult for me, so I don't know how people with the smaller sized monitors would manage.

I don't recommend this game.

I would just like to point out that the title of the game shows the main character's name spelled Aladin but in the game they spell it Aladdin, just saying! I have played several of these Hdo games before and I have the same complaint with most of them. The objects are entirely too small and the graphics aren't very good.

I would just like to point out that the title of the game shows the main character's name spelled Aladin but in the game they spell it Aladdin, just saying! I have played several of these Hdo games before and I have the same complaint with most of them. The objects are entirely too small and the graphics aren't very good. Some but not all of the scenes can be clicked and dragged to zoom into a particular part of the screen and you certainly need this feature or a magnifying glass. This game is centered around that mischievous orphan, Aladdin and the wonderful lamp (magical) with a wish granting genie. Some of the items keep flashing to indicate that the item will disappear if clicked on so you can find the item hidden behind. The game has a great adventure story but this type of hidden object game is outdated. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

Funny twist to the pauper becomes king story where Alladin doesn't end up with the princess. And two genies are involved, one in a ring and one in the lamp, setting up a good genie/bad genie scenario.

This game would appeal more to kids than adults. Very simplistic play and way too much dialogue. Simple puzzles and simple hidden object scenes. Scenes were revisited several times, resulting in a lot of back and forth that was aided by an arrow in every scene directing you to the next location. After finishing a hidden object scene, there was always one last item to find and this last item sparkles immediately, thus eliminating any challenge,

There were two levels of play, timed and untimed, The timed option was impossible to play; even if I could find the objects that fast, I couldn't move and click fast enough to beat the clock,

Not a very good game; use a coupon if you really think you want to play it. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

Not sure if you are still on BFG, since this was back from a few years ago. But, I was trying to find some half way decent HO games, as I keep forgetting to use my free game coupons before they expire, have lost a few over the last year :(.... (sure wish they offered it for the CE, cause those are my favorites - or at least let you use the coupon towards one, even if it is not the equal price and you just pay the difference) and came across your most delightful, hilarious review I have ever read. So funny was it to me that I read it to my husband, but it was hard to get it out as I kept laughing so hard. Then I noticed you are from England, I sort of figured there was a high chance that some one from the good ole' USA hadn't written and they hadn't. I am not insulting all in the USA, certainly not myself ;), it's that we have lost what I consider some great laughs and it goes by the name "Wit". Yes I realize you were serious near the end, but the wit is greatly appreciated in your wording!!! Hats to ya! Show less
