I'm enjoying it so far. I've bought all the Claire games. I have the tutorial on but so far am not receiving any help from it. I cannot figure out how to play the Match A1, A2, etc games. I click on the cards and nothing happens. Where may I find hints on how to play that part of the game? Otherwise it's fun, good graphics, sound, and interesting food items to serve. I can't comment on the story yet as I'm not finished.
I recommend this game!

Storyline is boring. English needs to be reviewed as it was not good and had typos.
I liked the restaurant critic - he makes a good challenge.
I found the waitress sometimes had food items in her hand that I did not make her pick up.
Sometimes the robot was slow (in the earlier levels) so I ignored him but he was helpful the further I progressed.
I would have liked to see more upgrades for Mary & John.
I like more than 3 restaurant themes and a change of view - i.e. different restaurants instead of using the same one. I liked the bonus levels and the music.
The cartoon dialogue boxes were quite exaggerated and did not offer any additional value. They all look like they are screaming and excitable. The story line is very predictable and generic.
Not my favorite cooking game but ok and it has a couple of challenging levels, therefore I recommend it but it may not be that entertaining for everyone's taste.
I recommend this game!

I found the game (after a few minutes) to be unchallenging and visually noncaptivating. The characters were very small and difficult to see amid the large colorful area to work in. Very repetitive with no story line except to get the kids to school on time. I found the font for the captions difficult to read with ease (letters too close together). The game concept attracted me as I am a fan of Diner Dash and Delicious Deluxe Emily (Big Fish you need to offer the Emily series, as it has a lot of followers). Thanks for reading my review.
I don't recommend this game.
Who am I is an immersive hidden object adventure of an epic scale! Take the role of an undercover agent investigating strange sci-fi incidents in the city.

Too bad - I was looking forward to having as much fan as I did playing "City of Fools". I had about 50% of the fun because the game was so short! I played only one more hour outside the free hour, so I felt that I wasted my game voucher. The plot was strange and didn't make much sense to me, comparing how it started with how it ended. I won't spoil it by saying details. The only thing I give a thumbs up to is the method of moving around the city. I enjoyed clicking on the map and finding myself transported to each venue, rather than wandering along street after street trying to find my way #as was with City of Fools#.
It was fun to see the familiar characters and locations, but as mentioned the end of the story seemed to have lost track with what we had set out to accomplish.
I'm not sure if I will replay this game as it did not live up to my expectations compared to the first game #City of Fools#.
I don't recommend this game.

I played the newer Big City games before playing the older ones and I found them less distracting to play. For example, in the New York, and London games there is the opportunity to fast continue, rather than sitting and watching stars flash for the time bonus and I didn't have to sit and watch all the coins I earned flash and listen to the repetitive ding ding ding before I moved onto the next level. Also, in the older games (Sydney and San Fran) there are glorious flashes every time I find an object. Very repetitive and annoying. So if you are thinking of playing the Big City series, and you don't like to watch a lot of flashing and not being able to move to the next level without watching your score flash, your time bonus flash and zing and count your unused coins individually before moving onto the next level, then you should enjoy all the games. Thanks to the makers of this series for improving the visual aspects of the games in the subsequent games.
I don't recommend this game.

Definitely a buy - I had so much fun with this game. For me, the attraction was that we get to see inside Nancy's house, her bedroom and where she grew up. Loved eating the ice cream, meeting all the quirky characters and visiting the various locations. There were a few times that I wished I could have called one of the other characters myself and asked them to take over, rather than calling Nancy first, but that's a minor complaint. There were not as many puzzles in this one but more places to explore. My fav puzzle was beating the clock to click on numbers 1 - 41 in an antique store. I also won an award for being a good customer at the ice cream parlor. The fun interactive between Ned and Deirdre is hilarious. Lots of possibilities there. The color and graphics are excellent. I love Nancy's house and it was fun to snoop around in her bedroom. I definitely recommend this game. I own and have played all the ND games many times over the years. Can't wait for the next one! Thanks BF for offering these Big games!
I recommend this game!

it's ok to pass time with - it was kind of fun the first time around. My feelings about the game are similar to those already mentioned. The mini games are a bother but I can appreciate the challenge they provide. What I found odd was the funny, repetitive sounds all the characters make. There is one woman dressed in an evening gown who makes a Kaw Kaw sound, a cowboy who makes a Heya Heya sound, a ballerina who sounds like a baby, and several other stereotypes. It's a bit repetitive but, as I said, something to pass the time and empty my mind at the end of a busy day.

I'll start off by saying something positive - I like the music; very soft and relaxing. The scenes are visually appealing.
Now for the other side of the coin. As many before me have stated... what a strange game! It could have had so much potential! If it weren't for the flash card style of characters popping in and out of the room, I might have gone further in the game.
I got stumped with trying to find the third teacup. Even though I am not going to buy the game, I am really curious as to where it is hiding. Did anyone ever find it during the one hour trial? Even though I am not going to purchase, I will check out the tip forum from time to time to see if anyone reveals where it is! LOL
Actually, I really wonder if some of the items are kept hidden by the game makers, until the one hour trial expires.
Too bad - I think this could have been a good interactive HOG game if it were not for the above. Did BF not trial it with game testers to see if anyone at all liked it before offering it to the public?
I don't recommend this game.

I enjoyed the game. I found the objects recognizable, once I found them and the visuals were good on my computer. After finding all the ingredients it was fun to figuure out how to assemble, cook and present them. The challenge I find is to get more than 4.5 out of 5 stars! There are 6 restaurants to work in, and it appears there are 2 that are shaded out, however I wonder if they will appear once I achieve the 5 stars in all restaurants? I found the sounds appealing but could have done without the timer and loosing time and money when I click too many wrong objects. I recommend this game and would like to see a sequel. It's perhaps not 5 stars because some items cannot be clicked unless you change from full screen to reduced.
I recommend this game!
