This game is so good on the iPod Touch and soooooo awful on the Mac. No Joystick feature, steering with keybd is nearly impossible even in the simplistic mode. Obstacles block you entirely. Difficult to back away from them and it turns you circles at almost every turn. Not even worth the 99 cents I paid. This could be close to good with a little effort. But as is on the MAC it sucks!

This game is well worth the money. You actually need to use your brain in this one. Some linear parts but overall you make the decisions where to go next. Dialogue is well played, graphics are good. Loved it - pity the sequel wasn't in the same league as this one.

Ashley Jones has very good graphics and a good mix go gameplay. Lots of levels to complete. While it is not entirely original like most match 3, it does offer some different twists with earning power ups and finding in missing artifact in each board. The story and game are definitely interesting enough to keep playing. While at the beginning you think "same ol same ol" it gets better as you go on. I am about 45 levels in, just a little over halfway and I will definitely play all the way through.

The good: Kudos 2 has limitless replay value, improved look and a sharper interface. there is a lot of depth to it too! Your friends are more sophisticated in this version with interesting character traits. You can change your avatar as well. Yearly birthday parties etc. The only downside I found to the game is that the work day can get repetitive. If they could spice that up like the evenings it would be a near perfect game.

I love mysteries and solving puzzles. This has got it all. The clues are well hidden and can keep you busy even a second time around. I really look forward to this games follow-up (Return to Ravenhearst Manor) being adapted to mac. I am not really that much into games but this one did not disappoint. Can play again and again.

First impression: This game is awesome.

However after a day or two I found it quite irritating. It would have been a fantastic game if you didn't need to go through every single level time after time. Fate is no longer on my system.

I tried this demo and the game was awful. So full of glitches. The mini games only work half the time. The word game only works on the hard difficulty setting. Otherwise you get a time out message repeatedly or the letters don't show up at all. On the click games, sometimes the marks appear, other times nothing happens. It is frustrating, boring and a waste of time. Sad since all of your other games are great.
