Fairy Godmother Stories: Cinderella Collector's Edition

Edited to add: I've played this again (at least once). I've now played many, many of these games. They are almost ALL too short for the price in my opinion, so take that with a grain of salt. I didn't mind how linear it was this last time that I played. Now that I can compare to many others, I have additional positive things to say. It has a variety of Hidden Object Scenes. The mini-games were a little more creative than usual. (A lot of the newer ones just have the same mini-games you see in many other games.) It was silly, but the colors were nice and bright. A lot of the games are kind of a blurry watercolor art, which bugs me even though I play these games all the time. In this one, the art had sharper lines, which I like for a HOG. Original review: A reluctant thumbs up. It wasn't a bad game for this sort of game. However, it was too serial for me. The game basically just led you through everything. For some, this might be a pro because it makes feel like more of a real story. (I personally don't care much about story. I just like finding things.) It was also fairly short for the price (9.99 US).

This was a fun twist of the original story!! The puzzles are still on the easier side even on the hard setting, but not too bad. I really enjoyed this game. Bought at full prize and don't regret it.

Very good HOPA game with intermediate to difficult level of puzzles. Though I played on hard mode when given the option. So, people who played the easy mode might have a different experience. But the puzzles were really fun and enjoyable. Solving them was really satisfying, and I never felt frustrated or given unclear direction. The HOPA scenes are beautifully done as well. The story is basically the weirdness of the HOPA plot genre, but as a lover of HOPA, I welcome the strangeness with all my heart. Play this game if you want a decent level of challenge. The bonus game is quite long as well. So that adds extra game time.

Adorable game, very entertaining. I enjoyed it from the beginning to the end! Now I'll go for the rest of the series!

great game

Another beautiful game that is a pleasure to play. The graphics are outstanding bright and colourful, the story line is great, there is an integrated strategy guide, if needed, a variety of mini-games (some easy and some not so easy) a hint button, over all a fantastic game that is a pure pleasure to play. I payed full price and I don't regret it one bit. Thank you to all the developers that put this wonderful game together. Thanx
