I love the characters in this game series and the graphics and music are fun, though not realistic. The HO scenes are pretty easy but I never grow tired of playing these games. Samantha is the female Indiana Jones and she has some great cheesy one-liners!

I recommend this game!

Right now, I am re-playing all four of the Samantha Swift Adventures, simply, because it has been a year or so, since, I have played them and I love this series!!!

I purchased all four of the Samantha Swift HOGs, back in fall of 2010. I simply fell in love with Samantha Swift and her adventures. I try to play the whole series, every 9 months to a year. This way, the game is "fresh", since, I tend to play so many HOGs, that the little details are forgotten. I do this, with a lot of my HOGs, especially, my favorite ones.

Yes, overall all four games are "easy" HOGs, but, sometimes the mini-puzzles can be confusing. In response, to those who have complained about not being able to complete a chapter or segment, so that you can complete the game ... Sometimes, you have to go "back" to go "forward" or go to another area, to find the "item" needed to open a door or passage way. I found that, Samantha Swift and her adventures, was one of the first, to do the "back and forth", to go forward. No, she was not the first, just one of the first.

Must admit, when I played the first game of this series, for the very first time, this going back and forth, really annoyed me ... But, as I continued playing more and more HOGs ... Samantha Swift's Adventures really were easy games and very enjoyable ones.

One of my favorite parts of this series, is that Samantha has Adam and Dr. Butler with her, in all 4 games. For me, that means continuity and I do like that, when there is a series involved. As each story progresses, the permanent characters, Samantha, Adam and Dr. Butler work together, to solve the mystery of Ancient issues.

I also, think this series would be good for kids 10+. There is a lot of reading, since there are no voice overs, so the child must be able to read well and there will be some questions, regarding words they don't know or don't know what the item is, that they are looking for ... However, don't let this stop kids from playing this series, in the long run, they may just become future HOG Fans. :) Show less

I recommend this game!

Great Looking graphics sounds aren't to bad.
Simple enough Item List.
(You can see most of this review in the Preview Pictures.)

Game Play: Hidden Items
Puzzle-solving Adventure

Good story line and Nice Locations.

Side Note: Not everyone likes or Previews a game the same, It's Mostly Based on a Point of View from 1 given person.

I recommend this game!

This is such a wonderful series. I own all the Samantha games, Hidden Roses feeling to me like the easiest of the four. They are so busy...traveling to different countries, hunting for important artifacts, keeping one step ahead of the female villain. I love Samantha, she would be a good companion for Indiana Jones. I think that would make for a great Indiana Jones movie !!

This is such a wonderful series. I own all the Samantha games, Hidden Roses feeling to me like the easiest of the four. They are so busy...traveling to different countries, hunting for important artifacts, keeping one step ahead of the female villain. I love Samantha, she would be a good companion for Indiana Jones. I think that would make for a great Indiana Jones movie !!

Even though some gamers are opposed to this art style and the less sophisticated look or feel of the game, I find it very appealing and always have a great time playing. The graphics are just fine and very colorful, and interesting. I especially enjoyed the scene in the marketplace in this one, involving the soldiers...clever and comical. The locations are amazing for such a light adventure game and the tasks are pretty involved. It makes finding the artifacts and reaching your goals even more fun!

All the Samantha games have so far played smoothly without any glitches or slow downs. Unfortunately, Hidden Roses has not lived up to that standard. I cannot remember what location I was on when I finally called it quits and uninstalled the game. I was quite far into the game, on a dig site. All tasks had been completed and all but one item was located, that being a key which needed to be located with a tool. The tool was the metal finder, I went right where indicated but it did not give me the key. I even went back over it numerous times using 6 of my saved-up hints. I tried everything. Absolutely nothing worked, so I am believing there is a glitch or I just became suddenly dumb as a rock because I could not do what was needed to move on. I am so disappointed, I could cry. But alas, I choked back the tears and swallowed my pride (lol) and uninstalled the game. It was a great time while it lasted !! Hopefully more Samantha games are in our future but I won't hold my breath...the newer games are not as sweet and innocent anymore. The dark, demented games are taking over at an alarming rate. The only light-hearted games available seem to be jigsaw puzzles and match 3.

I do highly recommend this game. Show less
