This is a great little series. The movement is smooth and the gameplay takes some thinking about. At first I was mortified after playing the others.. that the strategy guide did not have a button to show the collectable (puzzle piece..which is a watch)..but that is a small change and is just a tiny purple arrow showing where it is, and I have to scan sometimes to spot the arrow lol.

This is a great little series. The movement is smooth and the gameplay takes some thinking about. At first I was mortified after playing the others.. that the strategy guide did not have a button to show the collectable (puzzle piece..which is a watch)..but that is a small change and is just a tiny purple arrow showing where it is, and I have to scan sometimes to spot the arrow lol. The guide is on the level right bottom question mark. It is a numbered screen shot.

There is a workshop in this one where you have to have the resources to craft various items to complete your levels, and I did have to repeat some very early ones as I needed to demolish some buildings and put up two of some. That is what I like...the thinking factor! Your bonuses (speed, extra gather etc) now appear on a tower and not a wheel, and you must have enough resources to set them off rather than they 'just appear'.

So its your standard build, gather, clean the path TM. And there are merchants to trade with. There are the disappearing pallettes you must catch for your artwork to be done as always. But all in all it passes my 'make me smile' criteria.

There are three modes including 'chill out' relaxed and you can have several profiles. If you miss a collectable you can just go back and get it and leave too.

So try the demo...you may find you feel you 'have the game' already, but they seem to have just put enough slight difference in for me. And lets face it..we are starved for quality TM's at the moment. I was also happy I got it on the 'game club' deal at half off as well. Enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

Yes it is a bit samey but tell me another TM series that does not have similar attributes.
But at least they make an effort to add a few things to make us TM addicts happy and want to buy.
I do feel the strategy guide is not as thorough as previous games but it still helps and I miss looking for the teacups although there are pocket watches to find which I found so far easier to locate.

Yes it is a bit samey but tell me another TM series that does not have similar attributes.
But at least they make an effort to add a few things to make us TM addicts happy and want to buy.
I do feel the strategy guide is not as thorough as previous games but it still helps and I miss looking for the teacups although there are pocket watches to find which I found so far easier to locate.
I love the new magic tower and the way the tasks are very clear and are very noticeable what you have left to accomplish.

Some games just put a line through a task but this is ideal for anyone whose sight is not as good as it used to be.

Be weary as you get further in to the game that you do not purchase too much of one item in the workshop as they are still available even if you have enough

3 modes here so will cater for most and you can change with the same profile without having to start again which is always a good feature.

There certainly is challenge here but feel they have skimped on the extra levels going by the last game that provided 20 extra levels, this one only 12.

However with the discount today this is well worth the extra plus I just could not wait for the SE.

Overall it is a delight and nice to have a decent TM, been a bit short on them recently.

Try the demo, see what you think, if you don't like all the dialogue you can remove it so they try to cater for all tastes. Show less

I recommend this game!

I love this series, yes on the most part they play the same, but, it is still fun. I don't need to go into great detail but the gameplay is pretty much the same, some things are a little different. I have every one of the Alice in Wonderland series and have loved them all. I recommend this game.

Finally a game where you have to finish in time - or start over - that's what make a game worth playing - and if not one can choose an easier mode. Nothing new - collect and run -but the time limit does it all.

I recommend this game!

As someone who's done a number of Alice video walkthroughs, Hard mode can frequently mean "impossible or pretty close to." Here: there's at times not as great a time-gap between Normal and Hard Modes as in previous installments but I wish 3 stars was either more challenging in Normal mode or less so in Hard mode.

As someone who's done a number of Alice video walkthroughs, Hard mode can frequently mean "impossible or pretty close to." Here: there's at times not as great a time-gap between Normal and Hard Modes as in previous installments but I wish 3 stars was either more challenging in Normal mode or less so in Hard mode.

I don't particularly like all the updated sound effects here, nor do I like the lingering red and green hint rings. Can we do a "hover" next time, please? Some of the tasks Alice and the workers used to do got switched around here just so you know. Bonuses have changed also. Instead of a cup, you look for a pocket watch, along with the paint palettes which pop in and out.

Graphics are a little harsh when there's a light-colored background and very good when it's darker.

It seems the spirit and good cheer found with the prior Alice games is a little dampened here. Still, it's a good game and many of the bones of the previous are still there. For me, worth it on a sale. Show less

I recommend this game!

I really like the Alice In Wonderland series. They are cute and fun to play, especially on a rainy or snowy day. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is that it is not very challenging. Playing in normal mode is quite easy getting to 3 stars. But sometimes that's a good thing especially after some INCREDIBLY HARD TM games. A great edition and one younger players will enjoy.

This is a game to go back to time and time again. I will try playing in hard mode to see what difference it makes. Still love it though. Show less
