I just played the hour trial and must say I was disappointed. I would not buy this game and there isn't very many HO games that I wont buy. Did not like the pop ups when you click on some items every so often and you have to click the x in corner to close. (that's why I have pop up blocker) Don't like pop ups. As scotcat said, it was to easy and boring. No challenge at all

Just finished playing forty-five minutes of the game. The story was nice, the interplay between the main characters was cheeky which I enjoyed, the graphics crisp and clear, an untimed game with some mini-games, repetitive scenes with objects in same place, and the background sounds were very acceptable. Usually the music in a game makes me turn it off. This one didn't. Maybe if I played it for hours then it would.
Driving the mini sub on the ocean bottom collecting treasure chests was enjoyable. I alway's wanted to drive one of those vehicles across the ocean.
While I did enjoy the game even with its easy factor, I'm not sure if I'd purchase it or not. If a person is new to the HO genre, this game would be ideal for them. For that reason and some of the others I've already mentioned, I give this game a

I agree. But for $6.99 to play it once, very inexpensive entertainment.
Right now I have no plans to purchase this game. Hubby may feel differently when he plays the last fifteen minutes I left for him on the trial. If he say's "yes", then I'll get it for him and complete my game.

For those having troubles: Run and save your dxdiag file. Send an email to Tech Support explaining which game you played and what happened ... and attach your dxdiag file. It will help them diagnose the issue you are having if they know how your PC is configured.
Good Luck.

Nana, I had same problem, downloaded demo, (from AOL) wouldn't work, uninstalled, downloaded from fire fox, still wouldn't work. So I tried the old tried and true and restarted my computer, waited, waited, then downloaded it again via firefox and this time it worked! I just finished it. I'm not real impressed with it but if you're a rabid HO fan, it's something new, some new articles to look for, some we've seen in most games (those masks seem to pop up everywhere) . It's not the best HO game but some of us are very spoiled with things like Amazon and games like that. Patty
