Thanks, Marian - I think. Just what I need. Another CE to consider.

Seriously. Glad to know about the option to skip. Thanks.

You can always count on me to confuse the issue.

Finally, a game with some challenge. I played at experienced level. I loved the spin on some of the HOG scenes (the box, the grated area)and the slider actually took a few minutes to solve. I really like having to work out the rules for the puzzles (even though there is an instruction button, you don't have to use it).

Okay, I'm convinced and off to buy.

Decided to go for it. The artwork in this game is quite pleasing. And I agree that the interactive aspect of the h*o scenes makes the game more interesting and challenging. I also especially enjoyed the details in the artwork related to the kids' rocket ship in the first chapter. Appreciate the feedback from others.

ETA: Just finished. Great game and well-worth the CE price. Bonus gameplay is quite challenging. If you're the sort who enjoys mini-games/puzzles, the Bonus Game in itself will make you happy.
