Lots of Emerald City fun!! The story has been done many times before, but the scenery and decorations make it feel different. Good puzzles, as always from Domini, with casual and hard available for each one. Hops are list, silhouette, and replace the items. No glitches or problems with game mechanics. You collect emeralds, found in close-ups, which you then spend to buy decorations for your tree. A novelty I especially liked was the collecting, and setting off, of fireworks! Also Oz story pages to collect. While there are emeralds in every scene, the fireworks and pages are scattered, thus not detracting from the story much. The music is a nice touch, and when you solve a puzzle you get a nice sound, similar to the Awakening series. I felt the puzzle in which you untangle and place a cord along a series of houses was frustrating, as there are many ways to get it right, but only one solution is acceptable. But otherwise a solid, fun, and highly enjoyable game!
