Just played a little of the game and I really liked it. There is no timer and you can random click. It tales about 30 sec. for the hint to come back. Another thing you can bypass the puzzles.
I think this is a keeper.

Not for me, unfortunately. A lot of the spinning makes me dizzy.

Please, someone tell us poor souls at work about the game.
What is it like? What are the mini games? What kind of graphics? What do you like about it? Dislike about it?

Spinning? What is spinning?

Can't wait to get home and check it out. Because I work in a school all game sites are blocked out. frown

Ana, I see you are now leading everyone astray, not just me. Straight to the naughty corner - there is a plate of c.a.k.e there just for you

I'm liking this game. Graphics are great. Story is good. Option to skip puzzles. Hint refreshes in about 30 seconds. The best part--No Timer. A little slow going for me but a very relaxing enjoyable game. Also very addictive cause I'm getting right back to it now. wave

Littledog, you are best asking BigFish that question. They know their games better than we do.

Littledog, do you have Vista? My computer with Vista has that same problem and on my XP computer... all games play nicely. Go figure.

I'm wondering too, since it doesn't appear to be one of those Travelogue 360 games.

I think what they mean is that some of the screens kind of undulate (love that word). Like when you are under water the screen kind of ripples in and out and when you are on the boat everything goes up and down.

I admit to finding it kind of disconcerting myself as I suffer from Meniere's disease. To bad they don't have the graphic options that you can get with some of the adventure games.

I've been playing it today and when I have to leave the game, it doesn't return to where I left off. Is there something I'm not getting? I'm getting tired of playing the same locations over and over. Teddo

I just played and quit and it goes to where I left off. I had three more items left and I quit and started again had the same items. Don't know why you didn't Teddo. Richard

I don't suppose you're choosing something like "Start a New Game" instead of "Continue Game," are you?

The game is a little confusing I had to watch myself so I didn't start a new portal. I did it once and had to go back to the place I was.

Can someone give me detailed directions on the use of the camera?

What am I supposed to be taking a pic of and how do you snap the pic? I somehow clicked past the directions.

NYLady, you take a picture of the object you see in the viewfinder. use a hint and it shows you. I am enjoying the game thus far. Beautiful graphics and I have vista with no problems. The first puzzle I skipped with no penalty. love no timer and hints refill fast. Good storyline. Congrats BFG on another beautiful exclusive game.

Sherryah

EDIT................
The little camera has a green light come on when it is in the correct place to take a picture. hope this helps you enjoy the game.

If you are in outer space, I have the same problem, I can not advance, even though I found all the items and differences.

I found all the movements distracting and some what a dizzy effect I will pass up on this game it is a little far fetch for a story in the game.
