I played and loved the first game, so I was excited to see there was a sequel. The graphics are an improvement, and the storytelling (my favourite part of the first game) is just as good.

I played and loved the first game, so I was excited to see there was a sequel. The graphics are an improvement, and the storytelling (my favourite part of the first game) is just as good.

I wasn't a big fan of the art style actually, but I really loved the design and architecture of the floating city. It was so creative and gorgeous with a variety of different features and buildings like soaring spires, statues and the ubiquitous balloons chained to the island to keep it aloft. The music was soothing and fit in with the look of the city, and I really loved the sound that gets played when you find objects in hidden object scenes.

The scenes didn't look as good as the location graphics although I wouldn't say they were bad. Your standard junk pile. Puzzles were pretty easy, but that's of average difficulty for the casual games genre. I disagree with the reviewers who say that makes this game more suitable for younger kids because pretty much all casual games are this easy!

What I liked most about the previous game in the series was that you had a couple of characters trying to guide you who told you to do different things and your character didn't quite know who to trust (although as a player it was obvious). That repeats in this game, except that it's not as clear who is truly trustworthy for most of the game, and the way it unfolded was really satisfying. I also loved the feeling of isolation and loneliness in both games. Show less

I recommend this game!

More awesome adventures in an incredible post-apocalyptic world . . . The scenes are lovely in their rendering, as is the New Age-type music . . . The puzzles are of moderate difficulty, & though the story line might be a bit confusing at times, the game is worth the effort . . .

No timer, so plenty of time to explore this new air-borne city of the future . . . !

I recommend this game!

I played this game without having played the first one. This is the most beautiful & interesting games I have ever played. The story line was great & the graphics so beautiful. It was just hard enough to be challenging but not so hard to be frustrating. I would nominated it for game of the year.

I recommend this game!

I can't say enough good things about this game. It was beautifully done - from the excellent user interface, superb graphics, lovely sound and music to great characters and an ending that I wish could be real. The puzzles were not too demanding, and the HOS were well done with beautiful graphics. The voice of the blue whale was perfect - reminded me of Dumbledore in Harry Potter.

I play many games and don't mind those with an element of horror. However, this game was a welcome relief from those and leaves the gamer with an upbeat feeling. Truly enjoyable! Show less

This is now my favorite game. It doesn't tax your brain, but is just a relaxing, fun game without all the dark atmosphere of a lot of games.

The graphics are excellent, the storyline interesting and logical, and the navigation through the game relatively straightforward. I particularly like the fact that you are told when you are finished with a given area, so there is no question about whether you need to come back for something else. The Hint button worked both in and out of the HOS and was very informative with specific instructions.

There is no choice of difficulty level and the mini games were not that challenging. The HOS were fairly easy except for maybe one item here or there. I only had to refer to the walkthrough (which I did not find on the Big Fish Games web site) once. It could have been longer, which is related to the fact that it is a very enjoyable game. Now I will go back and play the first installment of this series. Show less

I recommend this game!
