I'm a huge fan of Farm Tribe 1 & 2. So, I was so excited to see Farm Tribe 3, I immediately downloaded the game only to be disappointed. This game is a great departure from the previous games.
The miniature ant builders/figures zipping across the screen appears to be
the norm in gaming. Unfortunately for me, I've accidentally purchased quite a few of those bit figure games and haven't played them because I find them so annoying. So, this game is definitely a no buy for me. I truly hope the devs will return to the old model of creating games like Artist Colony, Gem, The Promised Land, Farm Tribe 1 & 2, Tribe, etc. Old school games are better.

I thought this game would be on par with Emily's Delicious series. Ugh! I thought wrong.
This is one of the worst TMG I purchased.
This is one of the worst TMG I purchased.
The customers' moods go from good to bad while serving them. Then, you have to prepare most of the menu in the most tedious manner.
Don't get me started on the drinks.

I absolutely HATE spending money on this game! This game is not worth your credits.
So, looks like I'm stuck with another worthless game. Save your money until something worthwhile comes along... That might be a long wait.
I don't recommend this game.

I adore online Jigsaw puzzles. This was purchased primarily for the beauty of Africa. The actual puzzle contents has very little to do with Africa. The music is boring and the game control settings did not work. I had a tough time with the game settings. Every time I thought the settings was set to my liking, I found myself back at step one. I truly regret wasting my money on this game! Never again!!! I'm growing very weary of Big Fish Games.
I don't recommend this game.

This game quickly became groundhog day for me. I spent most of the demo time playing level 1 over and over again. I am cannot advance to level 2 or purchase upgrades with the exception of chocolate syrup I was able to purchase at the beginning of the game. I have clicked achievements and others sources for help on how to advance and nothing. The game is just a frustrating mess for me. Until the developers fix the glitches, it's a no buy for me.
I don't recommend this game.

I seldom purchase HOGs, but I purchased this game because I'm huge fan of design/remodel games and the game developers behind Farmington Tales and Tales from Lagoona became a credible force with me after playing their aforementioned games. Wow! I am having buyer's remorse.
The music, storyline and the castle upgrades are nice. But, the HOG scenes resembled a crammed junkyard and the objects are very, very tiny and difficult to see. I found myself moving closer to my monitor to locate items. I didn't have this problem with Farmington Tales or Tales from Lagoona because the graphics in those games are viewable... and I played both games more than once. This game was frustrating to play after five minutes of play time.
If you purchase this game, you will need the vision of a hawk to spot objects. So, be prepared to be frustrated. Have an ice pack and a magnifying glass nearby. Buy at your own risk.
I don't recommend this game.

I love a good romantic game. However, this game was not for me. I played 15 minutes of the game and had to log out from sheer boredom. I found the storyline, graphic art design and the music quite appealing; but the hidden objects are very frustrating to locate because the objects are very tiny. Also, the slow game pace is a major turn off. Anyway, I will have to pass on this game.
I don't recommend this game.

My expectations were pretty high for this game. But, the game became one of the most frustrating games I ever played. I wasted almost an hour of my time playing three years-- repeating 1923 four times and still wound up on the losing side. All of this left me undone. The longer I played the game, the more confusing it became. Do yourself a favor and pass on playing this game. This game is nowhere near Build-A-Lot, Be Rich, Plan it Green or Green City... its a headache.
I don't recommend this game.

This by far one of the best TM games I enjoyed playing for quite some time now. I played this game for hours and hours without becoming bored. The game is well crafted, fluid, challenging and reality based. My only criticism with the game... it's not long enough. Big Fish, please give us more games like this!
I recommend this game!

I really expected more from LDW's sequel to VF series. Unfortunately, their latest effort is a real downer. The characters movement is far slower than the previous VF and this game is riddled with glitches...
- Issues with clicking and placing furniture in rooms.
- The very annoying wandering mouse issues.
- The problem that you cannot disable the annoying tutorial.
- The diversity issue with the characters is still a problem.
- The missing game speed mode.
- The inflated pricing of store goods.
- Issues with peeps who want kids and still unable to have them after using the baby booster.
- Annoying issues with peeps taking nearly 10-15 minutes to cook and/or to work.
- The very annoying wandering mouse issues.
- The problem that you cannot disable the annoying tutorial.

- Annoying issues with peeps taking nearly 10-15 minutes to cook and/or to work.
As a fan of LDW games, I really looked forward to playing their sequel to VF and was greatly disappointed with the game and a host of other things. I just cannot recommend VF2 this time around.
I don't recommend this game.

One of the finest games I ever played. This is one game you will never get tired of. Ciao Bella is a game I highly recommend. The storyline and music is entertaining too. I love this game so much, I'm still waiting for a Ciao Bella 2!
I recommend this game!
