Lacked Something For Me!
This isn't a bad game - but I wouldn't classify it as a stellar game, either.
The story line started out interesting, but the last few *chapters* or areas to be explored just didn't work for me. There was a lot of back and forth to collect things without a great deal of logic to them.
The HOS's were not overly difficult. You mostly collected individual pieces to make up a particular piece that you would then use in the scene, rather than looking for whole objects. Some of the HOS's were very nicely done, or very different (like collecting multiples of the same jungle animals)
Just not what I was looking for, though it was a decent game.

A KEEPER! DEFINITELY UNIQUE - 1ST CLASS GAMING!
Thank you ME for recommending this game! I absolutely love that gamers take time and post their favorite game! A team of brilliance in HOS that fit together and connect smoothly into an interesting plot. The sound effects are great as well! Have read many reviews of other games stating "this is unique"! Well, this game IS unique and I enjoyed it immediately. Some of the objects are small, yet, they ARE fun and solvable and this is a hidden object game after all. Enjoy! -Mama Mia-

GREAT TEAMWORK
In most of the games offered, the women always seem to be the heroines and the guys are basically treated as numbskulls; however in this game, the guy is the hero BUT once he finds the girl (early in the game play), she is NOT treated as a damsel in distress and the two together act as a team to work out the solutions to puzzles and in coming up with strategies to find the treasure and to escape the island. I feel that this is why I enjoyed this game so much.
Beware, however, of FRAGMENTED, color-on-color (most of the time) itty-bitty objects to find with some easy to moderate to complicated puzzles to solve. Personally, I skipped 2 of the puzzles (1 had to do with mathematics and despite the instructions I still could not make heads or tails as to what I needed to do and other 1, I just got impatient) but all-in-all the puzzles are solvable.
I found it interesting as well that you didn't have arrows to provide you with directions of travel but rather with something that kind of looked like an eye in which action of some sort was necessary in order to proceed.
I found it important to read the hero's comments as it provided a "heads up" as to what the tasks were going to entail.
After the credits ran, there was 1 more cut scene which indicated a possible sequel to which I look forward.
