No the game only gets worse! In the second scene we are to find 10 food items. The only one visible is a lime that sits on the road. Everything else is hidden in the bushes. And I mean hidden! Invisible object game is the appropriate genre for this one! The scenes are really pretty and it's really a shame that I am going to forget this one! I defy MaG or Margie(our experts) to play this one! If either of them can provide a walkthrough with thorough screen shots it would be most appreciated! I am truly sorry that I purchased this game before checking it out first!

Hi, Penny Lane! Thanks for reinforcing my decision to pass on this one. I don't think I've ever purchased a game from BFG without playing the demo first, and I'm guessing you won't either from now on  ! It really is a shame because "The Wizard of Oz" is a beloved classic movie and the game had so much potential. I second the fact that it should have been called an "Invisible Object Game". Susan

I'm sorry to hear that, Penny Lane. I really hoped it would get better. But that food and animal screen was the one that did it for me...
Gardens put to bed. Time for more reading and gaming.

I was thinking "surely it can't be that bad". I should have trusted my mates on GameBoomers 'cos it was! I don't think the little girl from Kansas has a chance of getting back to Auntie Em! and what will become of Toto? I can't bear it!

I haven't seen a review of this game yet on Gamezebo or Gameboomers. I am curious as to their reactions! Yes cris53, the little girl from Kansas is in big trouble! Perhaps the Wicked Witch has cast a spell over this game. Poor Dorothy!

Penny, we do not do reviews on casual games, we just appreciate all the comments left so that folks can get a feel of the game. I think the best judge is a free download and give it a try. Ana

Hi, Penny! We are definitely not alone! I think the only positive comment I found was that the demo ended  ! OTOH, I downloaded the demo for the latest "Echoes of the Past" IHOG and am trying to figure out how I'm going to wait for the regular version to be released. Susan

Any Walkthrough plans here? That's the only way I will continue with this game!

I know that Ana. But I was hoping that a walkthrough would be posted on either BFG or Gamezebo? As yet there is nothing.

Hi, Penny! BFG and Gamezebo probably didn't waste their time writing a walkthru because, since hardly anyone bought the game, they figured one wouldn't be necessary  ! Have you tried expressing your intense dislike of, and disappointment in, the game to BFG? Perhaps they might offer you a game credit as a goodwill gesture so you can buy something else. It's worth a shot. Susan

No Susie I have not yet complained to BFG. I probably won't. I was reading the BFG forums yesterday and there is actually 1 person there who likes the game! I have decided to continue the game just to see if it gets any better(I doubt it) What a shame that such a beautiful looking game turned out this way! It could have been a great game if only we could see the objects! Oh well...........
