Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was very impressed by this game! The story (Puss In Boots) is a classic, revamped a bit for the current generation, but with an excellent twist or three that had me laughing. And I think kids will love it. (The hearts in the eyes - how adorable!) More than that, though, was the gameplay. Difficulty ramped up very smoothly from pretty easy to devilishly difficult. I played through the first time on Find-By-Word, like usual, and by the end I was really struggling. (There was one foreign word I didn't know, but I was able to guess by context.) Then I played through again on Find-By-Picture. It was a good bit easier, of course, but the difficulty still scaled up nicely with more partially obscured objects in the later levels. The cartoon style worked great for both the story and the hidden objects. As a very simple example, the boomerang was well hidden, but the shape and traditional cross-stripes made it easy to identify. This also allowed the creator to use objects that in reality would be hard to distinguish (like the printer and scanner) by exaggerating their cartoon qualities. Color helped a lot here - I actually suspect that Find-By-Silhouette may be the hardest mode for this particular game because of that. There were a *lot* of different objects, and I also noticed that there was a great correlation between the level setting and the hidden objects. One room (with a scanner, printer, ink cartridge, etc.) reminded me of my office. (And yes, my office is that messy. *cough*) The level with the ninja had some great object placement that reinforced that part of the story. The level near the beginning when the sons receive their inheritance was particularly funny this way - the sons on the left are so proud of the random flotsam that their father left them: a thimble and crystal knick-knack and bow and ... Overall, I had a blast with this game and I highly recommend it.
