What happened to Rachel?
One boring HO scene after another. One of the characters, Rachel, disappears and no reason or resolution is included. On some of the puzzles it took me as much as 15 minutes to determine the objective of the puzzle. Considering I am an advanced puzzler those of you who aren't are going to need a walkthrough.

Don't waste your money or time
Very boring. Not challenging at all. Maybe good for a child.

Hilarious and Fun but Mensa-Like Mini Games Set My Hair on Fire!
The writers on this game were at their best! The letters are filled with hilarious wit and funny drawings. One of my favorite so far is the drawing of a bandit with the label, "Bandits are scary".
The graphics are very well drawn to the point where it can be challenging to find the objects (that's a plus for serious hidden-object game fans).
The only issue I have with this game are the impossibly difficult mini-games that come with either no instruction or instructions that are in riddles. I had found myself sitting on a mini-game for a longer time than I spent finding the very-well-hidden objects in the main game. Luckily, they offer a Solve button but at the expense of many points.
I'm not one to care too much about the points since I'm only playing against myself but I can see how others may find that nerve-wracking.
Overall the game is very fun and entertaining. It would be perfect if not for the horrible mini-games between chapters.
Note: Those writers should be employed by every hidden-object game. This has to be the funniest game I've played and that says a lot! I love them!!

Purely HO with a few puzzles, not an adventure!
From what I gather after 10 minutes of play is that you are requested to help find a mutual friend lost in the Amazon rainforest. Nothing but hidden object scenes, you do interact with certain items in the scene to obtain other items for use in that scene or a later scene or puzzle. That?s about all there is to it. I stopped playing after 10 minutes because the storyline just didn?t hold my attention and got boring pretty fast. Not a strategy or adventure game, not sure why it's classified as such, it is purely hidden object! Recommended for those that love only hidden object games without much of anything else, (which is why I selected "recommended").

Tricky, but fun, hidden object game
Really enjoyed this game. Backtracking needed in some places but this only made it more enjoyable.

The best
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WERE I CAN GET A COPY OF THE SOUND TRACK FOR THIS GAME. I THINK IT BUILDS THE EXCITEMENT FOR THIS GAME. I WANT IT.
IT REALLY HOLDS YOUR INTEREST.
THANKS

Still one of my favourites
Like one of the other reviewers, I bought this game pretty much when it came out. You have to track down the professor who disappeared while trying to locate the fabled Beetle Temple somewhere in the jungles of South America. There's a flavour of Indiana Jones about the game, especially in the first two scenes and the cut scene when you move continents. However, the Hidden Expedition series has moved on since 2008, so why should you play this game?
Let's give some cons first:
* it's basically a series of HOS which you have to do in a pretty linear fashion. {Every now and then you meet someone and have to find 20 objects -- coins, flowers or something -- before they'll talk to you}
* it can be quite hard to find some of the objects
* I see another reviewer thinks the music is 'soothing' or something like that -- hmm, I suppose it's a matter of taste but you might instead find it gets a bit tedious and the sounds too
But I still love this game. Why?
* its sense of humour. Especially when you get to picking up the professor's diary pages
* the way the objects are hidden. I have played this game more than a few times (yes I admit it) and I STILL have trouble finding some of them. I think they are excellently concealed in the backgrounds
* it's not entirely linear as you pick up objects which have to be used in other scenes, sometimes in quite ingenious ways
* there are some good extra puzzles along the way and these aren't the standard ones you get in many games. The three with the stones near the end take a lot of thought to work out. However I think I have always had to skip the one with the monkeys.
* the graphics are really good, not just the backgrounds but the extra bits -- alien spaceship at the airport for example.
* oh and it's quite a challenge to find the 5 beetles in each scene which give you extra hints, trouble is, each time I see a similar beetle in another game, I can't help wanting to click on it to get an extra hint...
I give it 4.5 but since I can't do a half I'm rounding it up to five. A really good way to get into HO games.

Nice!!!
Love this Hidden Expedition game! There's a good combination of puzzles, hidden objects, mini games, and the fact that you collect diary pages to learn more about Amazon. Recommended!!

Really enjoyed this game!
This was fun to play. I loved the graphics, so clear and crisp. The puzzles were definitely challenging. I love the hidden object games but I want some adventure and challenge - this was perfect. Will play this one again.

So-So HO game
There were lots of puzzles requiring some thinking it through, but a few were so frustrating, and without hints are a 'skip' option, that I have not finished it after 2 weeks of working at it.
