I fell in love with this game immediately, but didn't think it was worth the Collector's Edition price, as it was first presented in. This is an awesome Time Management game, and this Standard Edition version is well worthy of the price, you won't miss what's missing!

I fell in love with this game immediately, but didn't think it was worth the Collector's Edition price, as it was first presented in. This is an awesome Time Management game, and this Standard Edition version is well worthy of the price, you won't miss what's missing! Here's a recap of my review to help you decide which version if either is right for you:
I haven't played a TM game this fun for quite some time. I love everything about this game with the exception that I could care less about the CE extras and the price tag that comes along with it. This is a hard game to describe, it's different, but the same!?
The story line actually pulls you in, which is really quite exceptional for a TM game. Rose Riddle was abandoned at an orphanage when she was just a baby, so she never knew her parents, who they were or even if they are still alive. One fateful day she receives a letter telling her to search for the answers she seeks on Route 66. So off she goes on a trip in search of her parents, but things suddenly get real when she's swept away by a tornado in Kansas. Rose Riddle has found herself in a strange world full of fairy tale creatures!
Fairy tale characters you meet along the journey will help you once you help them of course. The story is kept in your journal and with each level, you first collect resources, repair bridges, build farms, all the usual TM tasks. Once you have found the items and completed the tasks, you refer to the journal to investigate.
Some of the levels switch from outdoors, to inside the palace with several rooms to investigate, on several levels, which was actually kind of different and unusual. The fairy tale characters you meet are interesting and it's fun to read what they have to tell you.
The Collector's Edition has 24 Trophies to earn, 5 Music Soundtracks, 4 Wallpapers, 17 Character Bios, Bonus Levels and a built in Strategy Guide. For me personally, these things don't interest me enough to warrant the price difference, so I'm super excited that this Standard Edition has finally arrived, enjoy! Show less
I recommend this game!

Wow. This was super fun. Reminded me a bit of Incredible Dracula and Fairy Godmother tycoon. I loved the story line. It was so fun that I knew I was going to buy it before I was half way through the free trial.
The story was great too. It was a little confusing at first but I really wanted to read all the asides to know what was going on.

Thank you to the developers of this game. Truly fun! Forget the mindless clicking of so many TM games and be prepared to use some strategy and thought to get the gold every time. Actually bothered to read the story this time, which I rarely do with other games. Thank you again for a quality game!

Entertaining and interesting. Involved enough to hold my attention, but not so difficult that it frustrates you and makes you not want to play.

Excellent game play, addictive and lots of fun. I'm not used to this style of time management, I'm more into the fast paced diner dash restaurant type. This is a new and different experience. I thought that the 'clearing path' type of games were not for me, but this is great. The graphics and animation are very good and I love the characters.
I recommend this game!

I really do! I'm a woman of a certain age and haven't really played computer games before. (Well, except the cool text adventure games on my VIC 20! That really dates me huh?) When I happened to find out about Big Fish and started swimming (or rather, dog-paddling) about a year ago, HOGs were my thing. (Hints! And no time limits!) I eventually expanded my genre appreciation but, though I tried, I just couldn't do, or just plain couldn't get into T.M.'s. Even with options for relaxed play I found story and/or repetition boring. NOT SO WITH THIS GAME! Now I sort of wish I purchased the CE. Story - great! Characters - funny! etc! etc! etc!
The ONLY reason I took off a star is because I couldn't read fast enough, and I really want to catch every word of the story!
Seriously, give this game a try! You won't be wasting your time!
P.S. - This is the first time I'll be checking Time Management games as a favorite! Show less
I recommend this game!
