This game is a lot of fun, although I find that I can't play it for long periods of time. It's nice to play when I don't want to play something too involved or don't have a lot of time. Now that it's a Nintendo Select. it's definitely worth buying.

This game is what I think of as a "walk around and pick things up" style game. It is very relaxed (no time pressure) and the play is almost exactly like&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Wandering-Willows/dp/B002JPIZYW/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Wandering Willows</a>. It's up to you how you play--you can race through and try to accomplish all the tasks as quickly as possible, or you can take your time and pick up as much as you can hold, making as much as you can with the recipes and items you have, etc.

You, in the footsteps of the main character--one person in a ship-wrecked group of seven--have to solve various mysteries in order to rescue everyone from the island. You do this by gathering food and other items, learning to fish and hunt, interacting with the native islanders, exploring the island and its caves, finding a dozen lost golden statues, learning to cook and learning new recipes, growing crops in your garden plot (after trading with the islanders for seed), and more.

If you are a very goal-oriented person, you would probably find this a bit boring. That is, if you take the attitude of let's get these tasks accomplished as quickly as possible, you'll find yourself running back and forth too much. If, however, you are detailed-oriented and can take a relaxed attitude towards the game, you'll find it a lot of fun.

The story line, though not exactly original, is interesting. Especially considering the price, this game is very rich in scenes and in things to do. The sequel is finally out, though as I write this, it only seems to be available directly from the Awem website.

This is one of my go to games for a quick break between games or as a starter game to get people pumped up for game nights. It's a very easy game to play and it only takes a few minutes to go through each round. It is very high intensity and people seem to get really into making sure that they leave the temple in time. It's also fairly challenging to play until your group gets their communication down, at which point it can be less challenging to get through alive. However, once you add in the additional features like curses the difficulty rises significantly. Overall, I really enjoy this game and would recommend it to anyone who needs a fast, fun game that can be played fairly quickly and doesn't take too much explanation.

This is a fun and easy game. I like to play it while listening to MP3 files on my Kindle Touch. It can get a little boring after an hour, but that's my fault for not having anything better to do :). I do wish that in puzzle mode, you got some sort of bonus for popping all the bubbles- your score can be five times higher with ten bubbles left than it is with no bubbles left, depending on the moves you make.

Overall, a fun game and one I play often!

Great game that can keep you busy for many hours. Really enjoy taking on a mission or two with a friend or small party. Fun co-op play whether you have 30 mins to play or two ours.

This was an Xmas gift and as a family, really enjoy playing it. It's much harder than you would think to find the hidden items. Which in turn makes the game even more fun. We actually use one of our smart phones for the timer. Then you don't have to concern yourself with watching the traditional hour glass timer. This works quite well. Fun game for many ages.

I recently purchased this game to help me pass the time recovering from surgery.  I discovered this game has everything from a main mission to thousands of side missions.  You can go from being a good guy to a killer in seconds.  Much "cleaner" than Grand Theft Auto but just as enjoyable.

Awesome game. If you can pick it up on sale, it is a must buy in my opinion. Great for just playing for a game or two if you don't have much time.

I have now played this game once all the way through and am about halfway through a new one, so I feel well equipped to write a review.  The game starts off by letting you pick your main character, who is always female.  You are stuck with a teenage son and husband for which there are few customizing options.  The game itself is played in 12 episodes.  Each episode begins and ends with an animated little skit depending on what the episode will be about, and based on the choices you made.

The gameplay itself is fun - you have a choice of interacting with all of the characters on the street including the original DH characters, plus the Mailman, gardener, etc.  You can talk to them, seduce them, slap them, kiss them, etc.  Each episode plays out based on the choices you make while accomplishing the tasks.

The voiceovers are decent - some better than others.  Unfortunately once you pass the game, you have to start over because there is only one story line in the game for you and your family.

The good parts of the game: the sometimes naughty and hilarious antics of the characters; the cooking mini game is really fun and a bit challenging once you get up to the Culinary Artist category.  Now the bad: the game itself is very memory-hogging; the game has frozen my computer a few times and often gets stuck for a minute.  The episode skits literally take 10 minutes to load.  Things aren't always consistent, either.  For instance, you can break into every house on the block and get caught, and the characters will act like nothing happened the next time they see you.  (No relationship loss, etc).  When you slap a person it doesn't affect your relationship at all either.

Overall, however, this game is super fun and addictive.  Just make sure you have a computer with plenty of memory, and some patience to wait between episodes!

The game won't have you jumping out of your chair but that's why it's so wonderful.  I've found it to be a wonderful stress reliever because it's slow, easy-going and you can't rush through it no matter how hard you try.  The object is to find two "tiles" that match and are not blocked in.  Simply click on them to make them disappear.  There are numbers, small pictures or sometimes plants on the tiles.  A match doesn't always mean the two tiles will look just alike.  It's a very easy game, and the real challenge is being able to sit still long enough to play it.  Oh yeah it's very addicting!!!

Really like this game, even when playing the two player version.

I am a bit behind the times, I just purchased my PS4 recently, fact is I just don't get a lot of gaming time and I was quite happy with my PS3 (still am in fact), but I am not your typical gamer, I am 48 and a dad of 2 with 3 jobs, so time is limited for me, I play a lot when the kids go to bed at night for an hour here and there, almost all the games i see for PS4 are shooters I am not into that game arena, so when I saw a video on youtube showing Tropico 5 I knew this was more up my alley!

As you go along things seem simple but get complicated as you learn you can't make everyone happy all the time, with every action there is a counter reaction, so make your choices wisely as the outcome of your decision will effect the future game.  There is a lot of humor involved too, you will enjoy playing alone or with others and it's a fun balance of strategy and just fun.  I am not such a fan of the music honestly but no points off for that really it fits the game and all just not something I enjoy about the game.

If there was a con to report it would be this, I don't have enough TIME to play this game like I want to, with commitments of family, jobs, todo lists, lawns, maintenance, driving the kids around, groceries, well you get the idea but being busy doesn't allow me the time I want to just veg out for a day and play a marathon session or two, but the game is somewhat addicting as the city grows you just want to build and do more.

I see a lot of replay value in this honestly, go at building things differently each time and see how it develops, you are only limited by your imagination with this one.

Great game that draws you in after just a few moments. There is a bit of a learning curve at the beginning

I'm and "older gamer", and I still had a blast with this game. Sure, I played through it an afternoon, and I can't almost get through the entire game without taking a hit, but it's just plain fun to play. The control (D-pad! Yeah baby!)is just a joy, and it is fun to experiment with combining all the different powers... I just recently discovered the remote-control dynamite! Sure, not all of the powers are needed, or even useful, but they are fun to fool around with. It's also fairly tough to get a perfect 100% ranking, as some of the crystals are tough to find, so, if you are an old-school gamer, dive right in. This is a great game.

This is a fun game to play if you are looking for hours of fun. I got this as a gift for a family member and it became an instant hit. The game is easy enough to learn and makes for a great alternative to the board game.
