Operation: Puffle Review

Hey guys! Chill here. So today I'll be reviewing the EPF's latest mission, Operation: Puffle (which I should have a while ago). Enjoy!
Features
Well, I'm glad to say that Operation: Puffle is packed with features! First of all, there's the Puffle Chase game, where you try and chase down some of Herbert's brainwashed puffles. You can also bring your Gold Puffle along to get some extra treasure. This game is REALLY fun and can get you lots of coins fast. I think it should come back eventually, except you're a pet shop worker trying to catch some puffles to put up for adoption.
PH and Herbert are also visiting for the party, and it's nice to see both of them back again. Although technically, PH started visiting for the Gold Puffle Quest, but hey, who cares.
Score: 5/5
Decorations
The decorations are FANTASTIC. The party rooms are all nicely designed, and the other rooms are given an amazing nighttime look. Personally, I hope CP adds a "timer" in the future that makes it so it slowly turns to night the later in the day it gets, either based on Penguin Standard Time or the time set on your computer's clock. They did a great job on all the designs, both regular rooms and party rooms alike, and I really hope we see them again sometime in the near future.
Score: 5/5
Items
There's lots of different items - items you can buy from catalogs, items you earn from catching puffles, items you earn from defeating Herbert... Chasing down puffles will net you some cool items like the Head Lamp, Rock Climbing Rope, Bullhorn, Thermos, Search Flashlight, and more. And while you're doing that, Gold Puffles can dig up some awesome stuff like gold hoodies, and even a new Puffle Hat, which is always welcome.
The party catalog brings back several items from last year around Operation: Blackout, such as the Herbert and Klutzy disguises. There's also some new stuff like a brain box replica for your penguin. 
PH has the same background she did during the Gold Puffle discovery. Herbert also has a brand new background.
Speaking of Herbert, when you defeat him you get the Puffle Freedom Statue (pictured).
Score: 4/5
Music
I love love LOVE the secret agent music CP gives us. And this party is no exception. It's mostly remixes of Operation: Blackout, but we do get a few new songs, such as the awesome We Are The Elite or Stand and Defend. I just wish all the rooms had music like last year.
Score: 4/5
Non-Member Friendliness
Thankfully for non-members, this party isn't that bad for them. They get several different items by completing levels of Puffle Chase which is also available for non-members. And unlike Operation: Hot Sauce, non-members and members have the same wait time, instead of members being able to do it all instantly. The only things that aren't for non-members are the party catalog and a few items on certain Puffle Chase levels.
Score: 4/5
Final Thoughts
Operation: Puffle was a fantastic party. While it wasn't as great as the previous Operation: Blackout, it came pretty close. Keep up the great work Club Penguin!
Final Score: 4/5
