So give it a try it is well worth the money. For people who worry about the how long it is, .It too me about 4 hours. I like to read everything. Enjoy.

Beautiful Relaxing Fun
This was a great game. The graphics and music were really beautiful, and the story and characters were cute and charming. The puzzles were very nice. They were intuitive and logical, and it was pretty clear what you needed to do next. My only caveat was that sometimes it was hard to find all the active areas in the game. I would mouse all around and the cursor wouldn't change at first. Still, a very nice game.

Entertaining
This is entertaining and relaxing at the same time. Lots of HOGs, and the items change somewhat if you go through the game again. Most of items are well hidden, so you can feel a bit of accomplishment when you finish a level. The graphics are well done; this is not one of the "eerie scary" games that seem so popular these days. The mouse is the cutest one I've seen since Mickey! Overall, I really liked this experience, so much so that I bought the game.

"Save the Wizard"
For some it's either too sweet or too sour. Different strokes for different folks. I personally love the game, and yes it's a buy. "Hi Human" is what the mouse and fairy call you throught out the game, it made me chuckle. Phenomenal logical thinking game. Excellent puzzles.

My new favorite game
I am usually pretty critical of the games I buy. I LOVED THIS GAME!!!!. If you really like hidden objcect games this is definitely for you. The majority of the tasks are HO scenes with a few high quality mini-puzzles thrown in. The HO scenes are great - some easy finds and some really challenging ones. A great mix of difficulty. The entire game is absolutely beautiful. The scenery is stunning and beautifully drawn/animated. The worlds are gorgeous and varied. Even the music is great!! I usually get annoyed by the music and turn it off. Not this game! In a refreshing twist the hints are actually helpful! No dumb character that follows you around but provides no value. There are two characters that travel with you but you are not dependent on their help to complete the worlds. I really liked the journal and the fact that you did not have to keep checking it to progress through the game. The text is fairly brief (not tons of time reading useless dribble) and you are told when you have completed each map location. You also get to re-visit many of the locations again later in the game with new challenges. I would highly recommend this game for HO fans. It is now my new favorite game.

Allora
I liked this game as I could get throught it to the end. Most of these I get stuck and cannot get through even with a hint. This is a bit of a challenge but not BIG brain thinking game. It is just fun. Looking to Allora two

Mayzy's Review- Allora and The Broken Portal
This game was a bit of a toss-up for me. It had definite ups and downs. The plot was very basic, at best. Your goal is to move from scene to scene finding crystals and runes so you can save a wizard and go home. There ya go, you can skip just about all the dialogue scenes, because that's pretty much it. The puzzles were very easy and the music annoyingly repetitive.
What this game really had going for it, though, was the art. It was colorful, whimsical, and quite beautiful. The hidden object scenes were just lovely to look at. I am very partial to games which take a good, stylistic approach to their art, rather than grainy, 'copy-and-paste' realism.
I wish that the review system allowed ranking rather than just yes or no for recommendation. I'm going to have to put no, as I definitely wouldn't recommend paying full price for Allora, but it might be worthwhile as a daily deal or if you have a good coupon.

Not a fan of adventure
I have not been able to make it all the way through this game, Lost interest as it is not a straight hog game and too much moving around...
