I played 1 hour and I liked it. It's nice and fun game, not difficult but still fun. The hidden objects are not difficult to find, in every scene you collect additionally money, wanted posters, coins with the letters, safe icons and I liked it too. At the end of the every bank robbery there is a minigame with the five coloured keys to open the safe. Another repeating minigame to block the exits of the bank was too easy and boring. I might buy this game when my credit will come.

I played the demo and bought it. It's a HOG, but slightly different, as you have additional bonuses to make.

I think the game is very clever, well done with great graphics and I love the roaring 20's music. My only wish is that the game was police catching the gangsters. I have a problem with games that promote violence and robbery. I really don't like playing the role of a gangster who robs banks and shots people.
That's just my own opinion. I admit to being very old fashioned.
If this aspect of the game doesn't bother you then you will love it. It's very different. And I didn't find the objects so easy to find as the game went on. I had to use up all my hints... but again, that's just me.



Prices are going up everywhere except in our incomes.

I grew and lived most of my life a couple blocks from the Biograph Theatre. I was a Saturday night regular for their cult showings of Rocky Horror Picture Show. lol I can't wait to play the familiar scenes.

Unfortunatley I found this game to be simple and boring. It was the same thing over and over.

It would have been better I feel with different puzzles and minigames between the scenes.

I also could not get into the story at all.

This game is by the same folks who did Real Crimes: Unicorn Killer.

I appreciated the 1930s music and the dialogue and historical setting, but apart from that there wasn't much simply as a game to hold my interest. The fact that I found two typos/misspelled words in the first few minutes of play also detracted from the experience for me (although this is far from the only casual game where this has turned out to be the case).

I'm waiting for either a new build of Midnight Mysteries or a match-3 game (or a good new IHOG). smile

This is the first BF game that is offensive to me. Glorifying crime is not fun or a game. Most of us are older, but kids get games from BF, too. duh

And I might be an old prude, but this is how I feel. Sad and disappointed in my hero BFG's. sad

What's really interesting to me is that both Real Crimes Unicorn Killer and this game were both made by AWE Games, who did Agatha Christie And Then There Were None (and maybe the other Agatha Christie adventure games too---I would have to look that up). Unfortunately I believe this to be another instance of how some companies now are given the green light to do casual games but due to finances cannot produce the kind of games that they once did. I spoke online to one man who was involved in AWE Games during its adventure-game days and has since found another position with Bethesda (Oblivion, Morrowind, and Fallout 3); he was very disappointed that AWE Games had to turn to casual games rather than full-length adventures and decided to seek employment elsewhere.

I found this game boring after a couple of heists. Each robbery followed the same pattern, I uninstalled after 45 miniutes. Not enough variety. Many might enjoy it and I wish BFG lots of success on their choice. I will pass for another option later.
