I had problems with this game

The Good
This looks like a fun game. There does not seem to be any great depth to the plot, - 'Atlantis existed, it was destroyed and now a girl wants her grandfather to help her find it' - that's about it.

The game has two modes of play, a timed mode and a relaxed mode and I tried both. The hidden object puzzles were quite tough until I got used to them, some of the items were very small and the graphics are not pin sharp, but they were do-able and that is what matters.

The Bad
Before Anna can set off looking for Atlantis she has to solve some puzzles in her grandpa's house. One of these involves getting some money and I got to this scene in both relaxed and timed modes. Now in this scene in addition to the objects to be found there are two hot spots one of which triggers a hidden object scene along with a comment about helping Grandad tidy up. I found objects in the room, triggered and played the hidden object scene, was given a score after which the same scene was re-presented.
I have replayed the game to this point four times now and on each attempt I got the same result.
Another niggle is that on each play through my player profile was not saved so I had to restart from the very beginning every time. This may be because the game only saves at certain points and I just had not reached one but it does not encourage me to persist.

The Bottom Line
I got this game in the "Hidden Object Classic Collection Vol. 1" compilation and for some reason or other I could not get very far into it.
I cannot recommend it
