Hi,
Has anyone here heard of or played this game: “CIA – Petrodollars”, it is available at Adventure Shop and is fairly new, the description looks interesting but then again sales pitch are almost always hyped up. I tried looking for reviews but I didn’t have much luck.

I am asking this question here since A.S. has it under Puzzles and Hidden Objects, my apologies if I have posted this question in the wrong forum.

I just took a look at the description of the game at Adventure Shop and it talks about having match 3 minigames and sliding blocks and jigsaws; that does sound like it could fit within the category of a casual game. I can't find any other real information about the game, though; maybe someone else will know better. wave

I see it from Anuman Interactive, they have a deal with BigFish so I would expect it to show up there as well.

I have not heard anything about it yet though. Maybe someone is playing that could offer some insight.

Ok thanks Marian and Ana for your quick answers and I am happy to hear that BF will eventually have it.

I am not positive Starcom, but it seems likely.

Well I broke down and bought this game and…… well although I’ve played worse….. Best to wait for it to come to BF if it does get to BF and USE the 1hour demo before putting down your hard earned cash, in fact, for those that are quick with puzzles, etc; you might even be able to finish this game within the hour demo…
A short game, ambience or background sounds very disappointing and annoying.
The HOs are a mix and match, the storyline quite phony to me, the interaction between characters = poorly done in fact overall a very disappointing game considering that Microids had a hand in this game or at least the publishing of this game, shame on you Mircoids at least on this one.

And to think I could have bought a Good game from BF for this price with a couple of bucks to spare, arrrgh!!!!

Starcom, thank you for the information. I'm sorry the game wasn't all that enjoyable for you. I do appreciate your review, and I'm sure others will too. wave

Starcom, Microids is no longer the original Microids you may be thinking of. Anuman purchased them.

I am sorry you did not care for it and thanks for letting us know.
