You were given ample time to solve each challenge and I never found myself running down the clock. Overall, Dream Day Wedding: Viva Las Vegas was pretty simple and had just the right amount of difficulty. It's actually fun, in a very Barbie Dream House way, to watch as your reception area transforms into a magical wonderland under your guiding hand. Your money can go to purchasing music, flowers, a customizable bouquet, dress and cake, plus a myriad of other goodies. Usually, these will yield more casino dollars, which means better upgrades for your clients. Sometimes you'll be presented with situations and you can blow off the person asking for help or be kind to them. Your goal is to create a "dream wedding" and as you progress, you'll collect casino money to spend on the affair. Since I am not a seasoned adventure gamer, at least not like JR Nip, I didn't come across the answers as swiftly as he did, but they were still relatively sensible. Other challeges had you creating culinary concoctions from recipes, matching jewelry for the wedding party, finding differences in wedding cake designs and sometimes even making repairs to casino machines! From time to time, when you would click on an item in a confined area like the bathroom, a phone booth, or an elevator, you would become "trapped!" and you'd have to use adventure game skills to escape. One even had a distraught bride locking herself in the bathroom after hearing her dress had been sent away to another wedding and you had to gather items to calm her down. Others had the wedding invites being scattered all over the lobby and in need of retrieval. Some challenges had a hurricane blowing in and trashing the reception area and you had to retrieve items. Some other hidden object games I have played didn't make sense at all, (cough, cough Pretty in Pink). What I really liked was the fact that each hidden object game or mini-game actually furthered the story and the objects you were looking for made sense in relation to the story. Of course, nothing can go completely smoothly and as wedding crisis after wedding crisis pops up, it's your job to handle them and keep things on an even keel. The storyline is that you are planning a grand wedding for David and Kelsey, the groom and bride-to-be. Aside from that, the game has the appropriate sounds for clicking on objects or when your cell phone rings, giving you another task.ĭream Day Wedding: Viva Las Vegas! is a hidden object/mini-game title boasting 60 challenges in 29 locations, however it didn't really seem like that many as I was going through the game and beating it. Background music is there and works for the different areas, but is forgettable once you turn the game off. Sound is also decent, but not quite as good as the graphics. Little details are present everywhere and the map area is just gorgeous, such that you can even see cars whizzing by in the background past the glittering lights. Well, Dream Day Wedding: Viva Las Vegas! certainly goes the extra mile here. I've played a few of those in my day, and while they aren't my favorite genre, I like them enough if they are done well, as I spent more than my fair share of time as a child reading Highlights and circling hidden objects. Ok, so I didn't read things carefully and I also discovered this is not a time management game, but a hidden object game. Well, except for Debbie, the mother of the bride, who wears a ridiculous hat all the time. Instead, the graphics are more realistic looking and the characters in the wedding party look just like regular folks. I was figuring on a cartoony look, but when I booted the game up, I was in for a surprise. When I first saw that Dream Day Wedding: Viva Las Vegas! was up for review, I was thinking it would end up being more of a time management game a la Wedding Dash, which is Diner Dash, but with a wedding planner theme.
