First, there was Dream Day Wedding. Then there was Dream Day Honeymoon. After that, there was Dream Day: First Home. Now there is Dream Day Wedding: Married in Manhattan. The Dream Day series is probably my favorite hidden object series available. In this one, we are pretty much back to the basics. You help a couple plan their wedding as you create the story of how they met. It's difficult enough to keep you interested yet easy enough that you don't get aggravated. Since each version of the game is slightly different you don't get bored playing the same exact thing over and over again. I get giddy every time I see a new Dream Day game. I hope that you feel the same way.
Game review: Dream Day First Home
Hm, I thought I had written about the Dream Day series of hidden object games but apparently I haven't. Well, you're in luck because a brand new piece of the puzzle has arrived. First we had Dream Day Wedding where you were preparing for your wedding. Then we had Dream Day Honeymoon where the newlyweds went on a tropical vacation. Now we have Dream Day First Home. I really love how each of these games progresses not only the overall storyline but also the playability. In Wedding, you have a very basic hidden object game with a bit of a Choose Your Own Adventure piece stuck in. When we moved to Honeymoon, the basics stayed the same but the difficulty got bumped up a notch. This time around, we are given more to customize - from the type of house the couple moves into down to what furniture they will put in their rooms. There is still a great hidden object game with a few little surprises but it's really the addition of the mini-games that makes it a blast.
Since the series is geared towards women, I'm not sure that men would find it interesting. Besides, there are enough games out there geared toward the boys, right ladies? So roll up your sleeves and jump into the wonderful world of home ownership!
Dream Day Honeymoon
I enjoy playing hidden object games. Tonight I gave Dream Day Honeymoon from Big Fish Games a try. This is a sequel to Dream Day Wedding. In the wedding version, you are helping Jenny get ready for her big day. The game mixes the traditional hidden object "find these things in this picture" game with a little bit of Memory and a little bit of Choose Your Own Adventure. The honeymoon version of the game is basically the exact same game, only you are helping Jenny with her honeymoon instead of her wedding. It's still a fun game and I really enjoyed it. The Memory and Choose Your Own Adventure mini-games change the game up a little bit. I've found that a lot of hidden object games tend to get boring after the first few levels. The scenes don't change a whole lot, just the list changes. So after the first few levels, it gets easier to find things instead of harder. Dream Day keeps you on your toes by tossing the mini-games in every couple of levels.
If you enjoy hidden object games, I think you'd really enjoy both Dream Day Wedding and Dream Day Honeymoon.
