You would think that after discovering just how bad and a waste of precious life I'll never get back that Emma At The Farm was that I'd never, ever touch another "Emma" game again. But no. I'm evidently a masochist for such punishment. (Plus, I think I picked this up with the other one at the same time, not knowing what it was.)That aside - first thing's first. Why does this kid look nothing remotely like the one in the first game? Hell, why does the kid in the game not even look like the girl on the cover? (Developer fail.)
This game has even less of a clear-cut plot than the last one did. In this one....apparently there's some groundhogs, and they're missing - or we think they're missing, then it turns out they're just hiding from an eagle who wants to eat them, I don't know. And somehow you complete the story by taking place in a ski competition.
...Say what?
I'm pretty sure whoever wrote the "storyline" for this game was on drugs. Just sayin'. This game is also more difficult on a couple of the levels than the first game (although the rest of the levels are so mindless, it should barely count as a game). This is a game meant for toddlers (probably) and yet, I'm 25 and couldn't figure out how to win a couple of the levels and got so frustrated that I had to turn it off. (Even when I did figure it out? This does not seem like something a toddler could get the hang of.) Like with the other Emma title, you unlock bonuses as you go along...although I'd be amazed if anybody ever actually looked at them, they're so boring. (Yes, one of your bonuses are FACT SHEETS.) I don't know what they were thinking, but they really dropped the ball on this one. There's no way ANYBODY'S going to enjoy this game, let alone a little kid. (And I even let my toddler-age nephew give it a shot.) I'm giving this game a 1 out of 10 snowballs. Epic fail.
