Is this a glitch or am I doing something way stooopid??

HELP!!


Invisi-text below (since this is the review thread):

You won't be able to fully play the marble popper puzzle until the end of the game - you'll collect 3 more marbles in your wanderings through the palace.

Electra, I thought that was how the marble gaame was but I wasn't sure. Thank you for the tip!!! I kept playing it thinking the other colors would show up and I also thought I had somehow missed the other color marble.

I did enjoy this game for most of the reasons already stated. Now, I've got to make a decision which of 3 games to purchase with the one lonely credit I have remaining. lol

Great game! Fun and challenging but doable.
But, oh my. the fairy. She is, well, in the way. Hope they make another but give the Fairy a smaller part next time. hahaha
Did I buy it? Of course. At least her voice makes me chuckle. I think it's all of the stars that are just a bit much.
Thank you BigFish. You've done it again... and again....and again....
No one does it better.

Really GREAT game. Would not change a thing.

Ok since no one has posted a poiler for the ending I have succumbed to the inevitable and bought the game the story is good the puzzles easy but challenging enough to keep u interested.

And i hate hidden object games. the only ones bought by my account r cause of the b/f he likes them. And i get the time management but heres to my first HOG.

I just finished the game and I liked the fact that I didn't need a walkthrough until half way through the last portrait. There are some puzzles that you have to collect pieces to and put together before you can complete them, such as the marble popper game. You don't get the last marble until you are very near the end of the game. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, little tinkerbell fairy and all, I do agree that the moaning ghosts were driving me a little crazy but they made me hurry to find out how the get rid of them. I loved the way the room transformed when the curse was lifted, even for a grandmother I found it very enchanting. absolutely loved the game, difficult enough to be challenging but not so difficult that you had to keep going for help.

I loved it! I only purchase and play Hidden Object games. I like to get them as soon as they hit the web saite. This one was very enjoyable, had me scrambling to remember which room. Waiting for next in what I hope will be a series!!

Very cute game. Interesting, if somewhat easy, mini-games. Graphics are good. I like the idea that you have to go back and forth between places and combine objects. With no timer, unlimited hints and no penalty for false clicks, the game is a winner. Tinkerbell is obnoxious, but all in all, a solid interactive HOG. Should I say, "Yaaay?"

Just finished this game and I loved it, although the fairy did get a bit much. I love Gogii games. Like everyone here has said great mix of HOG, mini games and puzzle solving with no timer and plenty of hints, all up another winner!!

I very rarely post comments, but just finished playing this game. Slightly annoying fairy (say some) aside, this is an excellent, well thought out game. Challenging, but not impossible to beat without a walk-through. I bought several of the newest hidden object games (isn't this a great run???), and this one is my favorite out of the bunch. The others are good too, so that's saying a lot. Bravo!

I've got to be honest, but I was a little disappointed with this game. I loved my trial hour, and thinking the game would last for quite a while longer, I bought it. Unfortunately I don't think the remainder lasted as long as the trial, which was a shame. The puzzles were great, and I agree that the combination of hidden object with mini-games made it very enjoyable, but I had been looking forward to something that would challenge me like MCF Return to Ravenhearst. The ending I thought was a bit naff, and could have been much better. The 'battle' type hidden object challenge was an interesting difference, but it could have been well set up to include a couple more puzzles afterwards. All in all a good game for the trial period, but if you're choosing between this and something else... well, I guess it depends on the something else.

and a half from me. Good game, if a little disappointing.

love the game! I also think the graphics are adorable including the fairy. When in the options I saw the word dialogue I immediatly bought the game. I find the storyline delightful. In fact I rate it one of the highest in the casual games I have played thus far. I love the mini games and puzzles.

I really get concerned when people complain that they don't like the voice overs and than the game designer gives up and give the players who enjoy speech in a game, no option other reading boring text. If I want to read text I will read my email or a book, when I play a game and totally become immersed in it, I want to hear speech in the game.

I give the game designers 5 stars in this game. Someone complained at a forum and mocked the the speech in Diamond Jones amulet of the world because his english had an accent. The end result of that was the game designers in the next Diamond Jones eye of the Dragon, only used voice in the beginning of the game, text everywhere else.

I am one of those that get angry about this and expected it throught the entire game like before, because I appreciated the speech in the first Diamond Jones Amulet of the World. So what if there was a slight accent to the Characters voice over, everyone is not from America.

Maybe it is because although born in America and I have relocated permanently to Europe and now hear and found new respect for the people with language accents from various countries and I have learned to appreciate and respect them, not like when I lived in America. I never realized I had an American Accent until I moved to Europe. Everyone comments on it and it really changed my preception of things and prejudices I never knew I had before.

Although no one in this game being reviewed in Princess Isabella a Witches Curse, have voices with accents in it, I just want to come to the defense of the one that did the voice over for the fairy, before the game designers feel insulted and force us to imagine what the fairy's voice will sound like in reading just text again.

I think the voice fits the little fairy, kinda like tinkerbell in Peter pan. My opinion is this, if people like reading text only in the game use your option and turn off the voices. Please don't ruin it for those of us who find voice and speech enjoyable in a game.

I hope this game will be rated in the top ten, because someone went through alot of work to make it so. The graphic are beautiful,voices great!

I just finished the demo and I thought the game was fun. Even though I was tired I couldn't stop playing. As for the fairy, I had no problem. I actually thought she was kind of cute as well was her voice. I just accepted her moves and voice from the beginning and never found anything about her annoying. The game is relatively easy so far but it's nice to relax and not get frustrated. I love all the games in mixed in with finding objects. I guess the hardest thing for me was realizing that some games cannot be played yet and I had to come back to them. So, again, no frustration at the fact that I couldn't complete them. I'm off to purchase it. Whether items stay the same or not I will enjoy playing this game again and again.
Yea, happy weekend ahead in the hot desert!

This is a fun one. I like the hogs that aren't linear and having to remember what I need to go back to.

I've made a truce with the fairy. I don't look at her anymore

because it totally creeped me out that this little sweet fairy child voice is egging me on to shoot the devil mice, which sort of scream squishily, and smash the bugs with her magic rock. And she doesn't get her feelings hurt at my ignoring her because I yell "Yaaayyy" with her in a squeaky little voice when we clear the evil.

(oh come on, we all know i'm not the only one squeaking out yay everytime )

I really wanted to play this game but it looks like that's not going to happen. Everytime the game starts I play for about 30 seconds and it crashes. A dialog box opens up saying Error access violation, and then poof -- dark screen. I tried twice so that's enough for me.
