I just absolutely enjoyed this game thoroughly!! I liked(and appreciated all the improvements..especially being able to use the Hints/auto solve on some puzzles. Enjoyed the story line(and the humor was so enjoyable..just got so tickled at the Professor!)..enjoyed the different 'hunting' you had to do to retrieve some of the objects..(games within games..)This is the best HOG EVer (so far!)..for a game like this i was STUNNED by the graphics(all the movement in game was just awesome)i call them LUSH!!!! There are times when i have bought a game (i like to play Adventure games) and when done thought it was worth the price i paid and more...(not often, but there have been some!)--and really never expected to feel like this about HOG's...but...THIS IS ONE OF THEM! However, that said, i did have a bit of a problem later as i played in that it seemed to want to 'slow down'...i don't know why..if anyone knows please email me! Also...there were times when the object did not have enough contrast in a dark area (ran into this A LOT in a HOG called 'Escape the Museum'which got to be sooo frustrating i almost didn't finish that game..but did and did enjoy it over all)...but the enjoyment of the game overall kept me going!!! Please Sirs?.....can we have some more like this??!!! I just really, really enjoyed this game!

I was really surprised that the quality of the pictures is not sharp in this game. I'm glad others are noticing that too. I played Vegas Heist a few days ago and it has excellent picture quality and I was expecting the same quality in Amazon. I know they are made by two different companies but I really expected better image quality from a company with the resources that Big Fish must have. Otherwise I love the game. The story is funny and the puzzles are good. Reminds me of Madame Fate.

It was a great game and I would certainly play it again. Not especially fond of some of the puzzles, and I agree with LizzieK that the pictures were not that sharp. The story was great and I am really attracted to beautiful colours (just not the flashing ones, as in that Circle puzzle near the end). I hope there is another one like this one.

Although I gave a rave review and mean every word of it. There were some areas that I never would have seen without a hint because the area was so dark. I also hated the circle puzzle just couldn't figure it out, but with a solve, the problem was solved with a click of mouse. LOL

Sounds like a fantastic game. Will it be available in stores?

Gerry, it's generally within six months of its online release. My guess is, you'll have it for the Christmas holidays.

Thanks Ana I will watch for it. I play games on my other computer and it's not hooked up to the internet.

I finally got it downloaded. I haven't played it yet, but I hope it works.
My broadband is very slow, but I left the game downloading overnight and it worked. Now I'm going to try redownloading some of my old games.

Amen! This game certainly deserves kudos. Playing it was like watching a high budget movie! I loved everything about it, especially that you could repeat just one level. I loved finding the bugs for hints. I loved that you could skip the puzzles. Now that I'm finished with the game I'm going back to finish the ones I skipped.

So far this is my favorite HOG.

I played the one hour demo and decided not to buy the game. It was harder than the other two games, even without a time limit.

I'm probably one of the worst game players around and I didn'think it was too hard except the in between puzzles and they can be skipped. What helped me the most is the no time limit, skip puzzle feature, and the generous clues.

But like beauty, hardness is in the eyes of the beholder. What one might find difficult another may find easy. I am glad I didn't miss this game because it is my favorite and I can't wait to play it the second time. I will try to solve those inbetween puzzles.

A great HOG; I too had difficulty with some of the puzzles and when I clicked on Hints it would start to solve the puzzle or would just solve it. Would rather be given a second written hint. Also would have enjoyed actual voices.
Now did I miss something or is Rachel still missing? If so does that mean there might be more?
