Bought the game.
Downloaded the game.
Tried playing the game but couldn’t see into most of the rooms due to striping/tiling stripes across the screen. Sound cuts out. Game ‘hangs up’.
Uninstalled the game.
Re-installed the game.
Problems are worse.
I can’t even open the game with the small cut #icon on desktop# unless I uninstall and re-install the entire game.
Really frustrated.
Will not buy downloads again.

I could sit and play this game for months, constantly. So far, I’ve been playing it after work for about 2 weeks straight. Once you end the garden, you can continue to play the different rooms becuz the hidden objects go their positions in the room so it’s never the same game twice, even if you’ve been to that same room 3 times in the same hour. I also like to sit and look at the garden, it’s very peaceful. This game also has an additional pleasantry in that every once in a while it questions you to find “20 hairdryers” or “25 books” in the scene and you need to search for only those items. My mother told me about this game, and I’m so glad she did. It is really, really worth the $6.99. HP Sports meeting and AOL are in fact charging $19.99 for this same game.

This game is loads of fun and one that can be played over and over. The Butler and his dog help rebuild a garden by selling items in the house. As you raise cash you can buy items for the garden such as a fence, flowers, etc.
In each room you find items to sell. If you revisit a room, the items will have been went. Each time you end a room, a new room opens. You can play with our without a timer.

Ratqueen’s review is SPOT ON and very thorough, and I would only add that this visually attractive, addictive game also comes with a free screensaver that follows the progress of your garden, with all of the birds, butterflies, sounds and even periodic rain (all customizable in the game menu.)
The music in the different rooms is REALLY excellent, and I find myself jamming to some of the songs in my head from time-to-time.
A Exact game of this type and a very cool, personalized screensaver. What more can you question for?…
More of the same, please!

I usually don’t buy hidden objects sports meeting because of their lack of replay regard to me, but I really like this one.
The presentation is lovely. The tale is that you inherited of your grandfather’s house, and you’re in charge of restoring its garden, and eventually to take part in a garderner’s club contest. You will be visiting all of the house’s rooms (15 in all) to sell the items hidden within them.
The game can be played timed or untimed. There are 3 different types of hints you can use: standard (and you’ll get bonus cash if you don’t use those), as well as camera and thermometer hints that are hidden within the rooms (cameras show a flash of where the objects are located, while thermometers change your cursor from cold to hot as you go it across the scene).
You can serve up to 5 customers at once, for a total of 20 customers (objects) to find per room. The customers’ faces appear on the left of the screen by the side of with the name of the object they want to buy and how much they’ll pay for it. Once you find the object, a pile of coins is showed in place of that customer — it’s up to you to click the cash to immediately get another customer, or wait until you end ration one of the other customers. This way, you can control how many customers you’re handling at once — if they have to wait too long (I mean, really too long — and this is independant of whether you selected timed or untimed mode) the amount of cash they offer you for the object will at a snail’s pace decrease.
Sometimes, customers will question you to find a set of 2, 3 or 4 similar objects (for instances, 3 pairs of gloves). If you manage to click on all items in the set in quick succession, you’ll get a bonus amount of cash.
Every so often, you’ll also receive letters from special customers asking you to sell them a set of 20 objects (for instance 20 coffee makers) hidden in a release room. Other times, you’ll have to find a set of 20 objects hidden among several different rooms on top of the 20 standard hidden objects.
Also, on top of the objects you’ll have to search for customers, a certain amount of loose coins are hidden within each scene. Don’t miss them if you want the extra cash.
What is really nice is that, not only does the list of objects you have to find changes everytime (that’s the norm for HOGs), but also most of the items within the room (and the coins) will be went around! So if you found that umbrella next to the preside over last time, it might be a different size and in a completely different place next time! This truly add enormous replay regard to the game.
Another thing that adds replay regard is the gorgeous garden. Between each room search, you’ll be brought back to your garden where you can use the cash you earned to buy items. For each item, you’ll be able to choose between 3 different styles which you can mix and match anyway you want. You can even change your mind later on (for a small fee) and pick another item or stylishness, so you can potentially continue playing forever as you change your garden around.
I really have not anything terrible to say about this game except, maybe, that’ I’d want more of it. It would be splendid to have even more rooms, or an even larger garden to customize. I’d certainly pay for an expansion to this game, or a version 2 maybe.
I’ve played GardenScapes on 3 different computers — on XP and Outlook 32-bit, and currently playing it on Windows 7 64-bit. Works fine on all 3 operating systems. No conundrum at all.
