I'm Afraid I Cannot Share The Enthusiasm
I have to say I completely disagree with all the reviewers, this is a really dodgy game.
Good Parts:
Honors.
The 3 companions, each with their own ability.
Atlas included- this is your map. I found this to be very useful.
OK Parts:
Graphics were cheap and cartoony, but everything was clear.
Bad Parts:
No HOS, all puzzles.
I hated, hated, HATED the puzzles. All were awful.
For most of the time it was really hard figuring out what to do,
Bad storyline, cutscenes are cartoon, hard to get in to.
I found out the hard way; those who are looking for a HOS, turn the other way!

Okay.....
I'm not crazy about the graphics, very cartoon-like. Just really not for me, won't be buying this one.

Not an HOS game!
This is listed under Hidden Object Games but there are no HOS! What a disappointment!
The look of the game is lovely, reminding me of illustrated fairy tales.
The story line is OK but the protaganist is a bit irritating.
I was glad when the trial (which felt very short) ended.
I can't recommend this game.

KIDS' GAME WITH ADULT LEVEL CHALLANGES
The cartoonish graphics make it tough for an adult (me) to find the objects necessary. The character you portray spends most of her time saying 'I can't'. Not something I'd want kids to see. Story is facinating, but, wasted in this game.
Don't buy it. 'I can't' handle the negativity of the character. ;P

nont good
Why make bad drawings, why make a game - is it a game ? so simple and stupid?
Try before buy - I safe my money for a real game

4 minutes of utter boredom
I played 4 minutes of the trail before i got so bored i uninstalled it. It's very kiddy looking, the story arch was constantly bugging the game play, had to skip it all the time and yes "i can actually make a review despite the fact that i have only played 4 minutes" Someone said "no sign of a HOS" Well.. you still have to find a bunch of whatever-items. Nope folks, this is a loser!

Very good game
Beautiful cartoon-like graphics, crystal clear., A true adventure/puzzle game. Not a HOS in sight !!!!! The game is interesting and challenging. Puzzles were challenging to me. Interactive map with jump feature was excellent, as was the "area complete" bonus. A very very good game.

Simply charming! This really is a work of art.
I have more than 100 games in my BigFish collection and this is one of the few which keep making its way back to the top of my most-recently-played list.
There aren't any Hidden Object scenes, but everything that you do search for and collect, you will need in order to progress through the story.
There are puzzles aplenty to balance out all the walking and storytelling, some of them wholly challenging and others easy and fun.
The best part in my opinion though, was the absolutely brilliant artwork in every scene. The animations seemed strained, but such vibrancy and fantasy in every scene and character made up for every little quirk (not that there were many). You'll probably need to use the hint button once or twice, but you won't be smashing it the whole journey.
A nice twist is that you get to collect rewards and achievements along the way as you do certain things, and there are voiceovers for the amazing characters.
I've played this game over and over to try and beat my time and I just can't get enough of the fantastical world of Gaia.

So Much Fun!
I do not post many reviews, but, for this one, I felt this I just had to write something. All in all, an EXCELLENT game. One of the best I have played in a long time! I have been playing HOG's since the very beginning and over time have gotten pretty bored of the same-old-same-old day in and day out. This game is all the fun of an HOG and none of the boring. Great graphics, adorable arachters, interesting stroyline. LOVE the puzzles - not too hard - not too easy - just right. Also, a nice, long game, I have been playing off and on for 3 days and am still not finished. Way to go, Big Fish - you hit a homerun with this one! Worth every cent!

A GREAT GAME AND NICE CHANGE FROM HOG
Hi players. I just finished this game and LOVED it. My new fav at the moment. Beautiful backgrounds, places, lots of color. Not really hidden object but some awesome mini games and lots of them! I hope a game like this comes out soon I would be so psyched! Happy Gaming
