Several Fun Games in One Package!
Impressed with Amazing Adventures as first time playing. Several games rolled into one with HOS, Match 3, Find the Difference. Also an unlock feature to play unlimited games. There's much to do in this busy little package! Artwork is astonishing as is the music soothing. Objects small for tired, old eyes. However, this is a Collector's Item make no mistake. Much admiration and respect to the Game Developers. Enjoy! -Mama Mia-

Amazing Far East Fun
Another Amazing Adventure - this time in the vast country of China . . . There are 25 different scenes to find hidden objects & solve puzzles (which aren't really difficult# . . . As with earlier adventures, you return a number of times to each scene to find a new set of ten items, after which you get to solve different puzzles: such as memory games, jigsaw puzzles, tile swaps, sliding blocks & match-three challenges . . . Also, if you find all 25 yins & 25 yangs, you unlock unlimited seek-&-find games & a bonus match three challenge . . .
You also get a journal entry after each mission #2-5 completed scenes) that has an interesting fact about China . . . For example, did you know that there are only about 1000 pandas surviving in the wild . . . ?

Challenging hidden object game.
I have purchased all of the "Amazing Adventure" games as has my sister. They are the best games ever and I can't wait until the next one becomes available. They are challenging and keep you interested throughout the game plays, I've played them all several times and have yet to become bored with them. If you like hidden object games, you'll want to own them all too.

Nice Game
This a nice game, but I guess after playing about 100 of these I just got tired of them. Nice graphics, the objects you are looking for actually match the description. I guess I'm not really into the jigsaw puzzles between each game. I have to admit I probably played every one of these types of games when they came out, I guess it is just me, that games have become a bit more sophisticated.
But, if we have guests over for the holidays, this is the first game I march out, and they love it.
So I'd say a great game for our guests!

Amazing is UN-AMAZING!
I'm in the minority, but I found this game very boring, mundane, and repetitous. I bought the game because of the great reviews. It's a very long game, with 25 levels, each level having 5 hidden object scenes followed by "tried and true" puzzles. After playing some top-notch games, my expectations are much higher. I want great graphics, a storyline, creativity, some challenge,and variety. This game falls short of any of these.

Majhong meets Pure Hidden
This game meets all the expectations of someone who loves HOS's combined with arcade-type games. It has something for everyone! I didn't want to leave this game, but my house isn't going to vaccuum itself nor are my dishes going to wash themselves (sigh)

Simple yet very entertaining and enjoyable
I have played all the games in the series thus far, and find them all to be excellent.
These games are, in many ways, quite simple hidden object/puzzle games, yet there is something about them which is extremely entertaining and enjoyable, though it is hard to say exactly why.
The hidden object scenes are good and not over cluttered and the objects are easy enough to find, though not too easy. They are sometimes described rather than named, for example "stands next to gutters", which I find entertaining as I have to try to work out what it is I am looking for, is it a water barrel? a drain grate? a down-pipe? Or something else? There is a penalty for too many incorrect clicks, but this is not draconian and encourages caution without discouraging the player from trying objects when they are uncertain.
Another thing I particularly like is that all the scenes can be played again once the adventure has been completed and clearly entirely of ALL the hidden objects. This is the only series or game I know which offers this, and adds a great deal to the overall fun of the game. A match three game can also be unlocked, which adds even more value to the game.
The puzzles are very simple and don't require much brain power, but are varied enough to be entertaining, especially if you are playing this game to wind down at the end of the day (as I do).
There are two things about this game which, in my opinion, can be improved. The first is to stop the annoying hint prompt from appearing if you take too long locating the first object in the hidden object screen you are playing. I find myself racing to find something, anything, so that the irritating pop-up does not appear! Secondly, I have played all the games from this series on three different computers, and on all of them they appear rather dark and dim. I have to tweak the graphic settings on my computer to see the scenes properly. This is irritating, as the settings required to see this game clearly are too pale and bright for normal computer use, so I am constantly changing the graphics settings every time I want to play. A gamma adjustment option within the game would be a great help in this regard, and I know it is possible as I have seen this offered in other games. To be honest if I didn't enjoy the game as much as I do, I probably would be put off by this and wouldn't bother playing at all but I suppose it says something for the enjoyability of the game that I DO put myself to this inconvenience in order to play it.
These problems aside, I always look forward with eager anticipation to the next game in the series, and when it comes, I have never yet been disappointed. This game is no exception and comes highly recommended, as do the other games in the series.
