A Deliciously Delightful Experience
Add my voice to the many Fishies' who love this game: if there is such a thing as a Perfect Game, this is it! I, too, will make playing this game a yearly holiday ritual. Though both the SE and the CE are excellent, I appreciate the CE for the few tmes when I did get stuck. I love that one can use the map to navigate (always a plus(. And who doesn't love this story and the music?; The graphics are beautiful enough to be a Christmas decoration. Based on a classic, this game is destined to beome a classic in its own right.

Great Holiday game. Not creepy!
I'm a fan of elephant games and I have to say this is another winner from the studios. The storyline is fantastic. For example it's better than a fairytale, because it`s so cute! The nutcracker wants to get his Mary! The evil rats are nice done and look dangerous.
The graphics are good done. They have very much details and look real. The falling snow is sometimes a bit to much in the game. The sounds are great. In the right moments the right sounds got played. All tracks are made for Christmas time!
The game is not to easy. There are some challinging things. The puzzles are sometimes easy, sometimes difficould, but never too easy or to difficould.
I can say that this game is the right one for a snowy winter day. I had so much fun while playing it and I will play it again soon. So I can say 5 stars is absolutly right for this game!

What's not to love?
I needed a CE to finish my punchcard and tried this one out. I think it took about 10 minutes before I X'd out and bought it.
Wonderful, Wonderful!
The graphics are great. How I love it when H0s are hidden by artist skill instead of being tiny and nearly the same color as the background. Loved the storyline! It was fun to get the "history" of the rat king. I almost felt sorry for him. The music was non-intrusive and I left it on. I liked all but one puzzle and that was one I never do.
There were a few misnamed H0 objects but Elephant is far above some of the devs in this.
I also loved the game length. I really feel as if I got my money's worth.

One of my Top 5 games
The other 30 + reviews on this game are right on target!! I have nothing more to add other than the fact that if you do not purchase this game...your loss!! I love Elephant games and this one is outstanding and in my personal opinion..one of the best games I ever tried and bought from Big Fish. I cannot find one fault on this game. The bar has been raised....keep it coming Elephant and Big Fish!!

Fantastic!
Absolutely beautiful graphics! Crisp, clear and very magical! Love the mini games! They are different and quite enjoyable. I normally don't buy Christmas themed games, but after playing this one and reading the reviews, it was a Gotta Get!
Highly recommend this one!

HO! HO! HO!
SPATACUTAR...Just loved this game..Great X-Mas game..the visuals were crisp and clear...and the voice's were perfect..loved the storyline...and never got tired of the music..how could you? It is some of the most beautiful music ever composed..I could just sit and listen to the music and never play the game its so relaxing..I loved the storyline with the prince and princess under a spell and when he fights the rats and rat king and resues her they are released..old but still loved I must say..I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME for everyone..even if the storyline is old to you..play it anyway...it will astound you

Like you really need another review of the excellent Nutcracker game, right?
I have to write one anyway. This is truly a stand-out from the dark, creepy HOA's that seem to be churned out daily, each one not very different from the next. What a wonderful game! We played it together as a family for four different nights -- deriving a lot of enjoyment from our purchase price. This is the first time I have ever gotten my husband interested in a computer game.
Everything is top-notch in this Nutcracker adventure: graphics, design, storyline, puzzles, HOS's. It was satisfying in every way. All said, we probably played the regular game for between five and six hours -- using no hints and skipping no puzzles. And it is so Christmasy! Along with our alter-ego detective in the game, we could all only gasp "Wow! What a tree!" when we came across the ballroom the first time.
This game was just what we needed during an otherwise blah-ish Christmas season. Many thanks to the designers who did such a fantastic job! We will play the bonus game tonight (Christmas Eve)!

Finish Game Review
Great fun story line. A happy game instead of the norm of dead bodies, zombies and crazy people with killing and murder. Really clever storyline about who you have to save. Beautiful graphics and great entertaining puzzles and HO's. Will play again this season and most likely with the grandchildren year after year. Don't pass this one up or you will be sorry you did. Good Luck Fishes. ;)

Less than I expected
I really expected more. The start was fantastic, such a magical enchanted atmosphere, then all this was dump with egyptian cats, dragons... Nice grafics and music, still.
