Enjoyable Game
I Love games with "additional" play, such as collecting diamonds in each scene. The graphics are beautiful and the music relaxing. Youda Amsterdam runs smoothly with Windows 7 (always a Big Plus point for me.) The mini games and HOGs are enjoyable. Overall great game, the only thing I wish was better, is if I could find out how many diamonds are hidden in the game. A good buy with great re-play value.

HO Scenes, Puzzles and Tourism
The music is beautiful. Each cutscene starts with a snapshot of Amsterdam by night, a different area each time. The artwork is okay, the story seems fair and linearity is optimum.
But...you need keen eyes to tackle this one !
The first HO Scene is misleading: the objects you see right from the start are huge, so you think "Oh,well, that's an easy one !". You're wrong. Next to the giants there are many dwarves and quite a few that are nearly invisible. So you click and click again until, at the fourth click exactly the cursor stops cooperating.This applies to every other HOS.
In each scene, finding the diamonds recharges the sluggish Hint System faster [easy to spot, they glitter] and increases your score.
So, the game is a long sequence of HO Scenes alternating with puzzles and minigames. No action whatsoever, no useful item. This Youda is an adventure that is not really an adventure. When one of these items is given, the game uses it for you, but they often are the pre-settings to a puzzle.
Puzzles and minigames thus pop up almost after each HOS, meaning there are plenty of them. None can be skipped but, for each one, a clue is available in the form of drawings.
Those I saw in the 1 hour demo are quite interesting, not all that easy, but there are too many HO Scenes for me, else I would have been tempted to purchase the game.
If you love HOGs, don't mind having no Skip and Reset options, if you accept to be stuck with a puzzle without being able to exit, and be content with basic graphics, then you'll enjoy this game.

Youda Legend: The Curse of the Amsterdam Diamond
I did not like the fact that you did not have an optional Skip for the mini games. I think a Skip should always be available, and it should always be optional to Skip immediately.
