This is an awesome game! The hidden objects can be quite challenging to find and there are hidden items to find in order to unlock more areas to play. The graphics can be a bit gruesome but fits in well with the carnival/freak show atmosphere. I have played this game beginning to end several times since buying it and have still not found all of the extra hidden objects. Also the challenges at the end of each level can be quite difficult. I saved most of my clues for these puzzles and a couple of them I still can't figure out. Overall, it is a wonderful brain stimulator and I would recommend it to anyone who loves the hidden object games with the mind puzzle extras.

Its been awhile since I have played simulation type games. What makes this game addictive are the different stages of houses; their upgrades, their building values, etc. You start off with mostly $100k and 1000 supplies in each goal stage (career mode with 36 levels). Theres about 3-4 levels within a goal stage. These levels include, building 3 or 4 star homes (mansion, castles, etc) on premier lots. The game introduces new house or building type in each stage so you get a feel for the game. I recommend building one colonial and one tudor home in the beginning to get quick cash when you sell them.
Look out for house taxes and building repairs. Thats why you build a sawmill, a bank, and hire more workers to keep your cashflow going.
I could imagine different building expansions to the game or a sequel.
I didn't think this was like sim city 2000 and I am glad it didn't turn out that way!

Both this game and the Hoyle Board and Puzzle Game are ok games. Nothing too exciting, but if you want a wide collections of card games and/or board games these are good. Beware that only the user who installs the game can play it. It is not possible for other logins to play. This is why I gave the game a "bad" overall rating.

This is a fun game. It gets really challenging when you have to add decorations and the customer wants more layers. Some customers are fussy, and some are patient. It's a lot of fun trying to make your baker goal.

The graphics were the worst yet in a hidden object game and the format was obnoxious. I wanted to strangle the guy who keeps saying "you rock". There were even misspellings of the objects. Some you couldn't recognize at all and even when the "hint" showed the item you still couldn't tell what it was. There are a lot of hints however and the game is long. So if you have nothing to do at all at night buy this until another Dream Chronicles or similar comes out.

I too, bought both games together and they are very enjoyable! I wait for the 3rd!! Greetings sds

I bought this game just two days ago after I tested the demo product. Have I read the reviews first, I should have not bought this game coz all the reviews I read, I experience them too. Sadly, my sisters also bought the game. I just hope that the author/creator of this game could find ways to help us who have bought this one. I'm sure he has enough profit already to use to fix this problem in any way he/they can.

hope they could refresh the product and will notify us after they fix the problem coz my wife loves the game very much.
