I played the test game and loved it and could not wait until the full version came out and now it is here - knew I would buy as soon as it did. Has interactive map to move from place to place and the graphics are beautiful and the game is full of knowledge about the Smithsonian. Easy to follow story line. Has lots of HOS as well as other games to play. You won't be disappointed!!
This developer has always been my favorite and I will buy any games done by them. This one is no exception. Even before I finished the demo run I knew I would buy it. The graphics are beautiful and the story line keeps you looking for more! There is a map that takes you from place to place and the hint button loads very fast. I wish we would look up games in BFG by developer. I was glad I bought it and you will be as well. This was the best in the series so far!! Money or game credit are well spent!!
Graphics are nice and the storyline interesting. Easy to follow and relaxing game to wile away an afternoon on. Seven chapters, has HOS as well as items to find during the game. Bought the game after playing the demo. Has a map to jump from one scene to another.
I recommend this game!

As much as I love HO games I don't think I would buy this game. I did not really like the story line - it was hard to follow. Back and forth and back and forth with no real story to follow. It was hard at times to understand what to do next. Some people may like it but unfortunately I am not one of them and I have bought many, many HO games. I will have to pass on this one. Sorry -
The Brothers Grimm have assigned the task of revealing the truth behind missing children in the town of Arbourshire; it is up to you to discover the secrets of the Fairy Tale Mystery, before it is too late.
Played the demo - lasted less than the hour - only about 45 min. Good storyline, no map (which I prefer as there is a lot of backtracking). A lot of HO scenes which are clear and objects are easy to find. Other mini games are not hard & easy to figure out. Graphics are clear & characters are well done. Music is not annoying. If you are an expert you may find it too easy but the story is enjoyable. I am going to buy the game to see how it turns out. A good way to spend a lazy afternoon.
Graphics were very clear and sharp, music did not overpower the game. Played the demo in 50 min. HOS were clear and items almost too easy to find. Scattered throughout the story are also mini games that were not hard to solve. Hint button recharged quickly. There is no map and you go back & forth alot. Sparkles show where you need to look. I would say it is a good game to spend some relaxing time on as not that challenging but well put together. I am going to go ahead and buy it to see where the story leads me. If you are a hard core expert and want a hard challenge this may not be the game for you but I liked it for a nice change.
I agree with all the other 5 star reviews! If I could give this a ten I would - great story line - characters are realistic and storyline well written. Graphics are beautiful and voiceovers well done. Not too many HOS - did not use the map. Not too much back and forth. Easy to follow - you won't go wrong if you get this one! Hope there is sequel - BFG you outdid yourself on this one - keep them coming like this one!
The game had me hooked from the start - excellent grahics, storyline. HOG were just enough and hints readily charged if needed. Storyline was great and easy to follow. Great game for a rainly afternoon. Can't wait for the sequel! Will definately buy if as great as this one. I agree with all the other reviews - you won't be sorry if you buy this game.
Tried the trial version and got hooked. Just the right amt of HOS as well as other mini games that appeared to break up the pace along the way. Great artwork - in some scenes the 'demon' appeared out of nowhere so if you are not in to this type of story you may want to avoid. The music was also good. The story kept you going from one scene back to another and so forth but not hard to follow at all. Just the right amt of mini games to avoid you get bored with the story and they kept switching the type of mini games around to keep you interested which I also liked.
Would definately download any sequel to the story and most likely buy as well if it is as well thought out as this one. Would hightly recommend.
I became hooked on the free preview and bought the game. I truely enjoyed it and found it very interesting. Kept my attention the whole time. Great graphics! I have been a member of BFG for many years and HOG's are the ones I enjoy the most. Thank you BFG's are a great game - keep them coming!
