Well, I see that nobody has put in a review, so I'll add one. I played for less than 10 minutes and it already frustrated me. Pretty, but really bad cursor movement. Too many directions. And too darn many buttons to push to exit; not to mention that you first have to figure out what to push since the many instructions don't tell you how to exit. As to the storyline, where is it? All I saw was a series of cartoons with a figure that looks like the ghost of Christmas present, but no narration or reading to explain.

Too bad, as I enjoy mahjong, but not this one.

Another nice holiday Mahjong. I never use to like computer Mahjong, because there was never much strategy or skill challenge to them, at least not like the real tile game of same, when you play with real world people. But, some Mahjong's have grown on me, and I have a little computer collection of them. I used a game credit to add this one to the collection. At least with this game, if you follow the directions for each level, it can be challenging in trying to meet the time deadline, and as per instructed... not always easy to do.

I didn't find out until I had played through the first level that I couldn't advance and had to start over to better my score. This is a bummer as I am a "relaxed mode" player and want a game to be relaxing and not make me tense and hurried. Dear Developers: Please award us for effort and let us slow ones advance too.

I liked the music and the layouts on this game, but I have to say I wasn't impressed overall. I thought it was a bit too demanding at the lower levels, not as relaxed as I like it. There was no story (though that isn't essential), and limited instructions. As another reviewer found, even the menu tools are not self-explanatory and I had a job working out what to do. But by far my biggest problem was that for most levels you had to finish within a set time, and I found it impossible because the cursor lagged and held me up. I don't think my pc was too slow for the game, rather the other way about, but it isn't really the fun experience I hoped for.

I bought this game because I have other games like it and enjoyed playing those and wanted something a little different and its different alright , its so hard that I can't even advance to other levels , I wish I could get my money back ,I like a challenge but not impossible , I wish I new what this game was like before I purchased it
