Being thankful for every TM game to appear I was eager to play this one and found it quite like a sequel to Farm Frenzy Games. You have to by animals to produce eggs... and other products and buy machines to make new products out of the collected items to sell them, catch foxes and other animals... just as it was in every Farm Frenzy Game. So it was just a repetition of games I already knew and loved in a new style. It was good but not unique and it offers certainly hours of entertainment on an average level. The child like design and sound is probably lovely for kids. I just played 40 minutes of the demo and I am not sure if I will buy this one.
I recommend this game!

Loved the first BR and was very disappointed when they added too much confusing options to the next ones. This one is quite as good as the first one. The graphics are clear and bright and to be able to speedup the building process was something I have waited for ages! And the map with your city in miniature deserves an extra point. It is an fast game with many new buildings in every level. A little less would have worked better for my taste. There are still too many informations going on during the game which makes it a little bit stressful . For those who like it more varied - it will be perfekt.
I recommend this game!

Sometimes you dont know what you are waiting for, until you get it and sometimes highly praised games turnes out to be average with an satisfaction factor of 4-8 hours of fun playing the game until it gets boring.
THIS game turned out to be a huge YES PLEASE MORE... I've spent not hours, I've spent days ... or should I say nights playing it until now.
Everything about the games strategy and characters etc. was already said here - so I just can add my applause too. The Promised Land made it to my personal hall of fame !
I recommend this game!

What a charming Build a lot. It is still build a lot, but with this fairy tale design it seemed to me so different and fun to play. I really love the characters so I forgive the fact that the gameplay is the same as in all the other build a lot games. No new strategies to explore and no new challenge, but that does not mean it is not addictive anymore. There are a lot more boring games out there that only copy other great games. This original here is still in a top league.
I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed playing it and bought it immediately. I found the gameplay is quite similar to island tribe. Collecting resources and building objects to produce resources.
It brought a lot of fun playing all the levels, but it did not capture my interest as much as other games of this genre did and so it did not got 5 stars from me.
I think it is very worth a game credit, as it brings lots of fun and hours to play, but not worth a CE. There are not enough Levels or bonus features that would be worth extra money. The strategie guide is not a real help as it only gives overal tips and only 6 additional leves are not what I would expect as a Bonus.
The levels are really good, but become kind of repetitive later on and there is not so much new atmosphere or new characters or buildings that keeps it interesting long term, and I found that the buildings look to similar to get a good overview on the scene. For example when you try to look where the storage could be or the farm. It was kind of a quest to identify it sometimes.
It is not fair to compare it with Royal Envoy as this is simply a leage on its own, and could be and is probably a meassure for what it should be like.
I always wait for something new to come that has the potential to become an addition to my favourites the I can play over and over again, like Royal Envoy or MKFP or Roads of Rome. I dont think that Kingdom Cronicles will get to my personal hall of fame although it still is a good game and I do recommend it.
I recommend this game!

Playing Bingo or other classic games on the computer is relaxing and fun. I played almost every slingo game and was not into them all. This one is one of the better ones with nice options. Simple enough to be relaxing and with the right mixture of challenge to be addictive. It is also more colorful than some of the former ones, which is quite pleasent to me. The sound and the music is easy to shut off which is of a great importance, as the most game developers do not spend much effort in the music as it seems. All in all - the free hour was over very quick, so I will certainly by this one.
I recommend this game!

Im not a huge fan of HOG but this one is much better than most of them that I have played. It is funny, funny, funny. The characters are adoreable and cute, so kids really can enjoy it as well. Although this sequel is not so much different from the first one, it is so good that you just want more. I have played other games from the same developers and they are all a league on its own. Just like it should be: FUNNY, ENTERTAINING, technicaly perfect, Great Artwork, and still simple enough to enjoy it from the first minute
I just love it - and love to play it with kids as well, they are always waiting for austin to say WOW when we finished a room.
I recommend this game!

The fact that there are so few new TM games and even less with new creative ways keeps us going on with everything the genre offers. So I am quite exicted to play every new one that appears on BF. I found this one like so many others following the same strategie as other good ones bevor. It is nice to play but not unique enough to be on top.
There is a really cute and funny storyline and the way the characters run around is very nice. I enjoyed the fact that it is so easy to get more workers, as every house you build add a new worker as well. The strategie fact is not very challenging but ok. But there are just so few levels with no option to replay in a different mode. I have played similar games over and over again when I loved the gameplay, but I fear this one will capture my attention not long enough.
It is a nice and lovely game. I enjoyed playing it, but it won't get to my personal hall of fame.
I recommend this game!

I found the graphic extremly bad and unpleasant so the joy of playing this was robbed bevor I event went into action. The idea that corn is shooting little worms could have been funny, but I was not. Could not play it long enough to maybe get to an interesting level.
I don't recommend this game.

If you like cooking games, you will enjoy this. It is pretty much the same like the other cooking academy series but with different recipes and some new game actions. The graphics are very simple and the gameplay is very simple too, but very relaxing and fun to do. There is not much developing in this CA-Series but it is still very funny to play after a long day, so I found it really worth a game credit. And tried the marshmellow recipe in my real kitchen!... loved it
I recommend this game!
