An ok to not so great game Clean
Game wasn't very hard. The list of things you look for is limited to wizard white beards scroll and Waldo himself, but the last level/challenge level has you search for Waldo with a red and white stripped sock in addition to the scroll which is the hardest challenge in the game. So that explains the difficulty (though on expert mode it up-ed the difficulty a bit but not by much. Just adding side search objectives when you collected specific extra time clocks and made the Spot bonus points game much more difficult).

The depth of the game is very shallow, It would have helped if they added more of the objects that you would usually have to find in the Where's Waldo books and also if they included more scenes from the book to lengthen the play time.

It doesn't explain the story, but from what the final score screen says at the end of the regular game mode, the story is that Wizard White Beard lost five of his magic scrolls while he was traveling through time and you have to go help Waldo find them. So the Story is just as shallow as the depth.

It's not that addictive as it is a few minutes time waster. Sure addictive on Vizzed to get the highest score but the game by itself is what I rated it on and without vizzed its not addictive.

The music was ok if not irritating at the least. The shortness of the game music make them loop around a lot more constantly than the average game. You don't miss out on anything if you play this without sound.

Graphics on he other hand was pretty good. The animation of the main game characters were just a bit off but accurate enough to where I recognised them. The background scenes were very fun bringing the still pages of the book too life with movement on some of the background scenes (this also kind of made it distracting and harder to find objects and extra time).

Overall not a game I would play over and over and over (probably only once every great long while) though quite fun when you first start playing.
