Vacation Adventures: Park Ranger 15 Collector's Edition

[h1]I'TS VACATION TIME AT PINECREEK HILLS NATIONAL PARK AGAIN![/h1] Vacation Adventures games have become a cult classic over the years. There's just something about these games that keeps us fans, game after game. I've always said that playing a new Vacation Adventures: Park Ranger game is like putting on your favorite sweater every year; it always puts a smile on your face. You can play in Casual Mode (untimed-faster hint recharge), Challenge Mode (timed-normal hint recharge), or Extreme (timed mode, all wildlife & recyclables must be found) FYI: In Extreme Mode, there are 30 Items to find versus 18. There are 21 Achievements to earn for completing various tasks such as finding Wildlife, buying souvenirs, or finishing a mini-game quickly. You can purchase Park Souvenirs with the points earned and store them in a Display Room. Each scene has several Wildlife Animals to find that are shown as silhouettes in a box to the left of the word search bar, and when all the animals have been spotted, the doors will close. There is a Wildlife Notebook that allows you to see illustrations of all the wildlife you have found.  You will also Recycle cans, bottles, corrugated boxes, and paper found in each scene, and when all recyclables have been found, the recycle Can icon will be displayed as full. Some of the trash items are located within Zoom Zones as well. There are 16 Photo Op scenes that allow you to take a photo for your Album whenever you see the Camera Icon, so don't forget to keep an eagle eye out for those Photo Ops. You will earn an Eagle Eye achievement if you don't use either the Hint Magnifying Glass, which shows the location of a single random item, or the Mega Hint feature, which shows the location of all available items from the list. You'll earn a Bronze Star for completing the Search, a Silver Star if you find all Wildlife OR all Recyclable Items, and a Gold Star if you find all Wildlife AND all Recyclable items. (Extreme mode requires you to find all recyclable items & wildlife.) Words listed in Blue are Tasks that require an interaction of some type, and words in Red are hidden inside or behind things. Most of the scenes have at least one Zoom Zone (indicated by sparkling stars) that has hidden items and sometimes includes Recyclables or Wildlife. Levels can be replayed to better your time/score (timer counts up, not down) or pick up missing recyclable items or wildlife, and the items to find are different each time you replay it. After each Search Scene, you'll play a Mini-Game such as Placing Map Shapes, Spot The Difference, Word Search, or several different types of Jigsaw Puzzles (Rotate Squares, Swap Tile Sections, Flipsaw, Slider Puzzles, etc.) [b]Collector's Edition Extras:[/b] 30 Main Levels +8 CE Levels, 18 Wallpapers, 20 Music Soundtracks w/player (that familiar Vacation Adventures soundtrack is called Bluewaters Heaven btw) 21 Achievements, 16 Photo Op Screenshots (available in Photo Album) 16 Gift Shop Souvenirs with Display Case, 126 Wildlife Critters to find (available in a Photo Album) 48 Replayable Mini-Games.

Love these games. Lovely scenery, sometimes repetitive and can be a bit unreal, but they keep my interest.

Relaxing enjoyable game.

Easy, zen, mindless fun.

I truly love all the games in this series

I have every one of the Park Rangers Series and love them. The thing I dislike about the game is the music. It can sometimes put me to sleep but other than that it is enjoyable. I hope everyone gets a chance to play these game because I miss going camping. Enjoy!!!

Game will not start after I installed it.
