 Not bad for seek & find, the rest is just ok | | Review Date: March 20, 2010 | | Reviewer: Robert G., Philadelphia, PA | This is only the second seek & find type game I've tried (the other was "The Scruffs").
This game has 56 levels, but only about 1/3 of them are seek & find. The seek & find levels have repeatability since there are many more items on each screen than you actually have to find, and the item list varies each time. Also, there are a few variations - some screens are dark and you use a "flashlight" to light up part of the screen, making the search a little tougher. Another variation uses profiles of the objects instead of a list, which makes it more difficult to not only find the item, but to figure out what it is you need to find.
Almost as good are the "find the difference" levels, where you have 2 side-by-side images and need to find the differences. It can be tough, which makes it fun. However, it has little to no repeat enjoyment because nothing changes on subsequent games - it's always the same list of differences.
The other levels are not quite as good. There are multiple instances of video poker and slot machine, both of which are not great, but you only need to play 9 games for each of those levels to move on. The one I like least is called Pingo. It's like bingo, but you basically click the "spin" button and then click the matching numbers that light up for you - the game could probably play by itself and you'd have just as much fun with this one.
There are also "jigsaw puzzle" levels where you have 16 blocks to place in the correct position. It is not much of a challenge because you can just click away, swapping blocks quickly, and they each lock in place when you get them in the right spot.
Unless I missed it, on subsequent plays I cannot select a level - it just starts back at level 1, meaning I can't just jump to the seek & find levels that I like. It does unlock the slot, poker, and pingo games though so you can play those as much as you want. But if those are the games you want, I suggest buying a dedicated slot or poker game instead.
Overall, it's ok for the price, but I don't think I'll be playing it too much mainly because of the inability to select "any" level after completing the game.
