" takes Skill"
I just Love this game. Got a new computer-naturally I cant find my game. I leant it out to a lot of friends. I do hope #2 is as exciting. Maybe the hidden objects are a little more challenging. Hope so.

Intriguing fun fantasy game.
This game is pleasing to the eyes and fun to play. Very colorful and majestic. It takes you away to a fantasy world if only for a little while.

Another Addictive M3 - A Guy's Review
*review based on completing the full game*
This is a chain based, create a path type M3. That means that you play on a scrolling board, trying to reach the goal at the other end before time runs out. The longer the chain, the bigger explosion in the end and the faster you get there. Along the way you get power-ups that you charge with collecting certain colored gems on the board.
I find this type of M3 highly addictive and also somewhat challenging as you face obstacles on the way next to the limited time to reach your goal. The boards are creatively made and you get a feeling of adventuring as you progress through them, always eager to see what happens next. Sometimes you are required to do some alternative moves to progress, and other times you are dependent on the power-ups to make it.
The goal is to retrieve magical cards of beings from the books of the 4 elements to restore order to the world. There is very little story to the game outside that. You can read about the creatures after finishing their levels and restoring the text in the book.
Next to 64 levels of match 3 boards the game throws in a few "hidden fragment scenes" and "spot the difference" to break up the monotony.
Not only is it fun to play, but the game looks good as well. The boards are large with big "gems". Everything is bright and easy on the eyes. Even the backdrop underneath the board looks really good.
The music is not too intrusive, but it doesn't hurt to turn it down a notch. Sound effects are great, and is almost acting like fireworks during the play. Everything feels smooth and controls are easy. There are only 4 types of power-ups and they are very basic, so that left some to be desired. Also, the game itself seemed a bit short. A good thing though, is that it is so enjoyable so there is a high likeliness that you'd want to play it again down the line. Good stuff.
This game is well worth the money, even though the game seems a bit short. It is too enjoyable to miss, so if you are into M3's this should be in your collection. It might not be the most challenging one out there, but it sure has its moments. I recommend this to beginners and seasoned players alike.

Match Three with a twist
Interesting twist on a match three game. Plays a little like a story game. Not as challenging as traditional match 3 games.

Beautiful, cute game
I tried the 2nd in this series first, but didn't like the flashing strobe light effect in the game board. Tried the original version and liked it much better. The colors are gorgeous; the story line is sweet; the game is challenging enough to be interesting but not frustrating. This is the kind of game I like to play a couple rounds of and then move on to something else, coming back to it again and again until I finally finish. It's a keeper.

4 elements kept my mind occupied for a few hours until the rest of my family woke up.I wood definitely say its worth playing if you are looking for simple fun.

A Long-Time Favorite!
I've had this game for a long time and I keep coming back to it. This is a TIMED game. I don't normally buy games that do not have a relaxed mode but this game is an exception. Even though timed, the game gives you plenty of time to finish a level. There are only a couple of levels that are difficult to finish before the time runs out. It's challenging yet relaxing at the same time.
Gorgeous graphics.

Mayzy's Review: 4 Elements
This was my first match three game. I'm generally a hidden object sort of girl, but a review on here intrigued me enough to get it, since I had a free game anyway. I'm certainly glad I did! I love some light fantasy and this was very relaxing and fun.
The only thing I might possibly have to complain about it the inability to skip through your little fairy friend's long 'helpful' conversations. Otherwise this is an excellent game and it has opened my eyes to a whole new genre that I'd previously ignored.
