When you complete character sets, you get gems as a reward. You might not consider that a "good", but remember, it's for preschoolers. It's the right sort of cutesy funny for kids and their parents. Mickey quips that Goofy's suggestions all revolve around his love of sandwiches. Goofy can be sent to literally "run around in a panic". When Hamm shows up, he spins in on his side, tipped over as the clumsy piggy bank he is. Originally a smartphone game, I didn't expect desktop video quality animation, so that's fine. Jack Skellington and Zero are as beautifully animated as any modern computer generated movie would produce them.

Actually, DMK is similar in gameplay to RCT in lots of ways, and that might well explain my attraction to it. This art style is half ABC Saturday Morning Cartoon Mickey, and half Rollercoaster Tycoon. But when your characters are giant anthropomorphic mice, photorealistic might not be the best way to go. They aren't photorealistic by a longshot.

The drawings are bright and true to character. It doesn't challenge either skill or intellect. What has happened here? Well, this game is adorable, for one. Yet here I am, eight days later, trying to earn enough magic to finally earn Bo Peep. Given that it is intended for children too young to play Pokemon, I was fully prepared to find this game boring and unchallenging. I am informed this is a game suitable for preschoolers. And thus, I found Disney Magic Kingdoms, by Gameloft. Heartbroken and bored and way too lazy to dig through thousands of suggestions online to make it work, I picked a new game from the suggested list of free games at some site my son pointed me to. So in a last ditch effort to play my beloved sweet toothed game, I tried unloading and reloading it - at which point it decided to never work again. I tried turning it off and back on again. I tried starting and restarting the computer. It just so happens, that my copy of Monsters Love Candy stopped playing. Everyone else is doing game reviews, and I consider Monsters Love Candy a high speed thrill ride with excellent graphics. (*Ok, almost forty years.) I admit it, I'm a bit childish sometimes. Ok, this game is for children and I haven't been a child for almost thirty years.
