Christmas Wonderland 6

Christmas is arguably every child’s favorite holiday, given the fact that most of the traditions are designed with them in mind. All sorts of decorations go up, Christmas trees light up, and Santa prepares to make his yearly visit to those who have been good. Naturally, everything else is touched by the Christmas craze as well, including music, movies, and even video games.

Christmas Wonderland 6 is a hidden object game in which you have to find items and solve a few puzzles in order to please your family and Santa. The game’s main attraction is the fact that it features seasonal decorations and graphics, which should help you get in the proper mood for the holidays. On the other hand, the gameplay mechanics are a bit stiff and boring, at least for slightly more advanced players.

To begin with, most of the items are quite visible from the start, while others require a lot of tinkering to be found. This makes the experience feel unbalanced, and it’s just frustrating to lose a lot of time on a single item when everything else went so smoothly. Your clicks don’t seem to be registered sometimes, so you might even click on the right stuff and not be rewarded by the game, which adds even more confusion.

As far as the mini-games are concerned, they are not very original either, but they can be pretty fun under the right circumstances. Actual jigsaws, matching games and a variety of other distractions break the monotony after every hidden object session. Still, none of these are very original, which is quite a shame, because there are just so many ways the game could have been improved.

Thankfully, at least the graphics are decent, albeit not as nice as one might expect. There are some inconsistencies and glitches every now and again, but the target audience probably won’t notice them as quickly. Christmas music plays in the background as well, just to help you get in the proper mood for the holidays and really feel the winter.

With all its flaws, Christmas Wonderland 6 is still a decent game, at least if your expectations aren’t too high. If all you desire is a simple hidden object game with a few puzzles every now and again, this can certainly make you happy for a few hours.
