I'll settle for this armchair version, otherwise I'll never get to France. Safe, cheap, no sore feet, no luggage! (lol) Point8Games took us to California previously and now here we are touring the French landmarks in another great HOG. I was happy to find their new release today and enjoyed the demo very much.

I'll settle for this armchair version, otherwise I'll never get to France. Safe, cheap, no sore feet, no luggage! (lol) Point8Games took us to California previously and now here we are touring the French landmarks in another great HOG. I was happy to find their new release today and enjoyed the demo very much.

The graphics, again, are very crisp and bright, the colors are beautiful. The scenes are all busy and the hunt for items is challenging and fun. The items are small, well hidden or camouflaged and I use the magnifier too often sometimes. So my additional challenge is to avoid that very helpful feature. The game is kept interesting with some great features and a fun variety of HO styles. There are 5 modes for each scene and you can change to whatever pleases you as you play. I love using a different one each time. A couple make it a little more difficult for me but that's half the fun. When you can switch modes it prevents boredom.

In addition to the list HOs be looking for one French flag and one fleur-de-lis in each scene and there are random 8 Balls to collect for extra points, usually easy to spot. There are 3 play modes: Easy, Medium and Hard. I've tried each and so far the Medium is my preference, but I brave the most difficult when I have more time to play. The mini games are a good assortment but I wish spot-the-difference was included. We have Mahjong, Match 3, Memory Card and Sudoku. Upon completion of each level a new one is unlocked and there are many. In the levels labeled with CE there are no Symbols or Balls to locate.

Some of the list items are interactive, such as placing a feather on a hat. The Zoom Zones are highlighted with sparkles and the items aren't always easy to spot. The Hint works great but recharge time doesn't go way down as in many HOGs, it is 15 seconds in Easy Mode. I love the trivia provided with each destination. Hopefully the devs did their research carefully when compiling their "fun facts". Learning new things is something I really appreciate and would hate to be misinformed, even in a game.

It's nice to be entertained without combatting a monster or saving a princess or an Elven kingdom. HOGs are relaxing for me and keep my mind safe from brain fog. I started out thinking that HOGs should never be CEs when they were first offered, but after visiting all the extra locations and extra fun, I feel it really is worth the extra price, at least with Vacation Paradise and another is the Park Ranger series.

I'm adding today's game to my HOG collection and know that it will give me many, many hours of enjoyment. If you haven't yet tried Vacation Paradise, check out the demo if you love HOGs with a decent challenge, no cartoonish characters or endless dialogue and beautiful graphics. 5 Stars for Point8Games Show less

I recommend this game!

Played demo and enjoyed. Will buy. Also one rating said lipstick cover didn't exist. It does. Just isn't where they thought.

This really is a fabulous game for those of us to love straight hidden object games. I'm up to Level 30 and haven't encountered any problems at all yet. Loving the magnifying glass - this really helps.

It's kinda beyond me why those with problems haven't used the hint button. I normally like to get through the games without using it but sometimes you just have to. I know the hint button won't ...Show more

This really is a fabulous game for those of us to love straight hidden object games. I'm up to Level 30 and haven't encountered any problems at all yet. Loving the magnifying glass - this really helps.

It's kinda beyond me why those with problems haven't used the hint button. I normally like to get through the games without using it but sometimes you just have to. I know the hint button won't give away the whereabouts of the Flag, Fleur dis lis and 8 balls but they're usually pretty easy to find. It's a shame having to give this top game low reviews because of apparent technical issues.

The only issue I'm having is finding some of the 8 balls - I'm assuming now that they're not always there with the Flag or Fleur dis lis objects.

Moving along, I'm enjoying this challenging game - the graphics and backgrounds are bright and clear and the music is pretty awesome too. Show less

Point 8 Games has, once again, ticked all of the boxes for me. Generous game play (so called CEs are trending way too short), visually appealing, and great music to name a few. No, it's not chasing ghosts or saving the world(s). What it is, however, is enjoyable. I am able to just relax and take my mind off of all the chaos going on.

Vacation Paradise, France CE lives up to its reputation of previous games by offering beautiful scenes and locations, as well as multiple tasks (finding flags and fleur-de-lis ) in its scenes as well as wickedly hidden objects that are often challenging to find. Count on hours of enjoyment with this one! I don't much care for some of the music for some of the locations, but I just turn the music ...Show more

Count on hours of enjoyment with this one! I don't much care for some of the music for some of the locations, but I just turn the music down. I'm barely a quarter of the way through but enjoying the game and know that I can play it over and over, so well worth the money. Show less

I enjoy playing games through this developer because they do geographical games and I learn from them unlike general hidden object games where I don't learn about things
