4 Friends is my favourite game designer/developer. Their story lines are very good, but where they really shine is in developing unusual and interesting HOPs and beautiful graphics. The hedgehog HOP in this game was a delightful surprise. I will add this to the favourites in my game library (I keep a list). I look forward to finishing.
I recommend this game!

It makes my day when BFG offers a 4 Friends Game. I like HOP/Puzzle games, but I love 4 Friends games best. The story lines are inventive, the HOPs are different--not at all the same old thing. The puzzles offer just the right level of challenge. Like another reviewer, I like that the game tells you the number of morphing and puzzle pieces to be found in each scene--its a challenge to find them, but you know what you're looking for. Please keep offering 4 Friends games!

4 Friends is quickly becoming my favourite designer of Hidden Object Games. Their HOPs are by far and away the most inventive and challenging of any game designer out there. The story lines are engaging, and not just a barely adequate way of getting the player from puzzle to puzzle. And the puzzles are interesting and challenging. 4 Friends plays fair by telling the player how many special objects and morphing objects are in each scene. This in no way diminishes the fun of looking for them and finding them. Dark City: London is another wonderful game in the fine 4 Friends tradition. I rate it excellent across the board for interesting, fun gameplay.

Other reviewers seemed not to like the game. I've just played the first half hour or so, but I found it to be fine. The storyline is a bit pedestrian, but the visuals are good and the puzzles and HOPs are interesting.

Journey with a grown-up Dorothy through the four quadrants of the land of Oz. This is a fun game with a good storyline based loosely on the Wizard of Oz. Dorothy interacts with characters representing a different take on the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion. So often, I tire of this type of game before I finish them, but this plot kept me interested right up to the end. The HOP puzzles were varied and challenging types. I definitely recommend this game.

4Friends is coming up as an interesting designer of HOP/adventure games. They always have innovative twists to both the HOPs and the puzzles. And they play fair with the special objects and morphing objects in each screen, telling you how many there are left to find and indicating unfound ones on the map. I'm getting to the point where I prefer their games to other designers of similar games.

I'm really glad to see a new instalment in "Hero of the Kingdom II", as I loved the first "Hero of the Kingdom". This is a bit of an improvement on the first Hero game, but has the same flavour. I hope there will be more in this series to come. It is something really different, challenging and fun.

I wasn't expecting to like this game, but was pleasantly surprised. The hidden object puzzles are not overly difficult, but still provide a challenge. The quest element extends the fun of the hidden object locations. The dialogue is upbeat and sometimes cheeky. Fun value for children and adults.

Elephant Games is known for its excellent games, and this is no exception. The game has an interesting story line with a lot of unexpected twists, and it incorporates new elements in HOP/puzzle games. The HOPs are varied. The only complaints I have about the game are that it was too short, and that the puzzles were a bit too easy. But excellent game overall--Elephant has raised the bar for HOP/puzzle games. It should expect imitators.
I recommend this game!

A really different strategy game, with the resource management aspects of Road to Rome but with dungeons. Beautiful graphics. Please bring on Books 2 and 3 of the trilogy for Mac users!
