I was hesitant at first but once I started to get into the story I was hooked. Yes there is a lot of talking, but that is needed to understand the story. It kind of pulls you in and is funny at times.
The graphics are crisp and the Hogs are a lot of fun to play, since some sections are interactive. Minigames are all new to me and also a lot of fun to play. Not too hard but you need your logic for most of them.
It is a pretty long game, which I always appreciate. It is made up in sections and you never have to hold on to your objects for long.
Try it, I absolutely loved this game. Need more of this kind.
I recommend this game!

Games with this poor quality still exist? Not worth the demo. Boring
I don't recommend this game.

I have to pass on that one. It was just ok. I still had 16 min left to play when the demo was over. Must be a game on the shorter side.
Graphics and story also just ok, a bit cheesy. After playing games like The Nutcracker etc, I can't even think about buying this one. As a CE it just lacks all the bells and whistles. I may consider the SE, but there are better games out there. Way too many HOGs in between, takes away from the adventure.Sorry, that's just me, did not keep my interest

This sequel is the best one yet. Great graphics and animations. They added new items to collect, such as bandages for the mummies. Watch the little guys, too funny when they lose their heads.
You still have 40 levels of fun and challenges. but since they added more items to collect and things to do it makes it more interesting.
This is well worth playing and replaying. Keep these games coming.
I recommend this game!

Oh how I have waited for this game. Saw it on the devs website as a sneak peak, and here it is. Finally. Another home run from my favorite devs, Elephant.
Just look at all the gorgeous graphics and how detailed everything is. The HOGs are not a big junkpile and minigames are different but all make sense.
You still get to collect items throughout the game.
Sound and music, and cutscenes are well put. The map is very helpful.
This reminds me of the lord of the statues, my favorite when the statues come alive. This may just be my favorite now. Outstanding imagination and so much fun to play.
Never once got bored.
I'm totally blown away by the beautiful graphics and details.
I cannot say enough. We need more games like this. Thank you Elephant and BFG
I recommend this game!

I like the strategy play of this game but I don't care for the graphics. They are somewhat small, grainy and hard to make out. With all these games like ROR and MKFTP with outstanding graphics and cute caracters, this one does not come close, however the game itself was fun to play. Not sure if I will be buying it. Maybe I'll wait for a special or a free punch. It would have been so good otherwise

Maybe it's just me but does this play more like a Mahjong game where you have to match cards instead of the normal solitaire? Even clicking on anything , cards do not move for me.
Too boring, and I thought this maybe a good game mixed with the bowling. Give it a try, for me...... I lost interest after 5 min
I don't recommend this game.

I really enjoy playing this game. The graphics and colors are outstanding.I usually play HOGs / adventure games but sometimes I need some strategy mixed in and this one does it perfectly.
It gets harder as you progress and with the coins earned you can buy many many upgrades for your aquarium. You can buy additional tanks and play several with different backgrounds etc. Too much fun.
It is so funny when the fish interact with you calling your name and talking to you. Replay value is very high since it is never the same as you had it originally
Highly enjoyable.
I recommend this game!

I was sceptic at first when I started playing but it did not take long to totally get hooked. I could not stop playing but eventually had to. It is a very long game, hard to find.
Morphing objects included. The items to find, instead of your regular HOS are frags and sometimes hard to make out. You have to help individual ghosts, and put them back on the ship, by putting wooden figurines of them in their own ship cabins.
This is a very captivating game, hard to explain, you have to try it yourself. I did not want it to end. I don't know hwy I did not try this game before, and thanks to one of my favorite developers, they ran a special and I saw this game.
Great graphics, gorgeous scenes with lots to do, minigames somewhat easy, but it all makes sense.
Try it, it is now one of my favorite games ever, and I own many.
I recommend this game!

I absolutely loved this game. Very good length too. The graphics and game flow are amazing. Storyline is the ususal, save the prince, but it was fun. Collect butterflies along the way, not hard to find. Minigames and HOGs are pretty easy although there were a few mind benders, for me anyway.
Beautiful sceneries and so much to do. Map will transport, but I like to walk the distance because this way you won't miss a thing.Very nice, imaginative graphics. I absolutely loved this game. Bonus also very good, you get to play the witch there
We need more games like this. These developers are still my favorite, and this game proves it once again. Thanks
I recommend this game!
