Something Special Is Special In It's Own Way.
This game is a nice upbeat pace from the dark and spooky games that seem to be popular at this time. The neat thing about this game is it has tidbits on places of interest in America and it lets the player go explore them without leaving the comforts of home. The music is catchy, but repeats often and the graphics are good. Some items, though, are hard to find. Another good thing about this game is it has 3 difficulty modes to choose from. Play Something Special Today! :)

simplistic straight HOG
This is nothing to get excited about. A straight hog drawn in cartoon form. The HOG scenes were way too bright so items tended to merge into whatever background they were on. Yes I could have adjusted my screen, but you shouldn't have to do that. Nothing redeeming or fun here at all. Way better games out there. No mini-games either.

good idea, poorly executed
yay, it's summer and time for holiday! and yes, there's a hidden object game for that, too! using this game, you can travel the USA and learn about various regions by exploring specialty shops that sell various items.
graphics: each scene is a combination of photography and graphic art. some hidden objects are so hidden that the only way you'll find them is with the hint button, unless you want to adjust your computer screen lighting just for this one game. i also think the animations (after you've found an object) are slow and clunky.
music: elevator music, and it repeats after eight bars or so. gets annoying really quickly.
storyline: probably the most believable part of the game.
my interaction: one hour demo, medium and hard levels.
complaints: i was disappointed by the developers' bias for the central USA and east coast, when in fact, there's plenty to see and do all over the western USA, too. (San Diego was only west coast city on this map!)
i was also disappointed by the artwork. the combination of photographs and drawings made the game appear to be thrown together without much effort or thought being put into it, especially since many objects in a scene did not pertain to the theme for that scene nor did they show me anything about the city, either (for example, what's a garden gnome and a buddha doing in a SD dress shop? and what do these items reveal specifically about SD? um, nothing!). many of the scenes were just plain cluttered and junky-looking, which i found stressful since it made me want to stop playing this game so i could clean my crib!
in short: the idea is a good one, but it needs work and a lot of thought, so i don't recommend it.

NEED TO USE FAR TOO MANY HINTS
One of my favorite genre of games are hidden object games but THIS GAME??? UGHHH
*You couldn't tell from looking at 1/4 of the objects (even AFTER clicking on it) that it was the object that you were looking for
*Most of what was on the search list had NOTHING to do with the scenario
*MOST objects had the same color background as the object itself
*Most of the backgrounds were hazy making your search even more difficult
*The music made me want to shut down my computer as you can only lower the volume NOT mute it
*Let's not forget the proverbial hidden objects that are so far to the sides that they're off the monitor screen.
While I appreciate having the hint button (the only GOOD thing about this game as it recharged VERY quickly) when I am playing games, having to use it 3-4x per scene up to 5x in one scene is ridiculous.
It's listed as a DD today and I won't even buy it at the $2.99 price which is rare for me because I look to buy games when they're on sale.

Simply Awful
The worst thing about this game was the music. It was inane, repetitive and you COULDN'T SHUT IT OFF.

Plain and fun HO game.
I kinda under the influence of a different game of same company that looks alike and I really loved the other one so I like this one to start with. This game is all about finding objects in a cluttered scene. nothing else really. The instructions are easy to follow, the graphics are OK, I myself like them. Music is OK, i didn't mind it, wasn't annoying like sometimes they have in games. I played the demo and have intentions to purchase this game.

Kill the music
The music and graphics left much to be desired

Something special is nothing special
An average HO game. Scenes are photographic quality rather than drawings, making it possible to recognize many items but not all. Finding the objects can be tricky, as many are hidden with tone-on-tone colors. In the relaxed mode, the hints refill quickly. Liked that the items are reasonably-sized, but some of the scenes, like the petroleum museum, are an overload for the eyes. Items in scenes are not very exciting and often have nothing tying them to the location. Definitely try before you buy.

Nothing Special
I played the trial period. It was strictly looking for hidden objects at various places around the US. There were no mini games during the trial. Some of the objects were hard to find but there was a hint button. If you just want to look for objects and nothing else, you might enjoy the game.
