I really liked the graphics and the option to buy and use different dogs. I had a little trouble with disappearing items, but I just played through them and nothing was crucial. I enjoyed the solitaire game play with the various hurdles. Using the different dogs with different abilities to help you get thru the games, it kept it from getting too boring.
I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed this game, more than a lot of these that I've played. The story was better than most, although the ending was a bit abrupt. Would have liked to see that played out more. The length was pretty good. The HO scenes were pretty easy. I played the Hardcore version with no hints and had no trouble finding everything. Did not have to use a walkthrough for any of the game but did have to skip a couple puzzles because I couldn't get them or got tired trying. There was some running around, but it wasn't too bad since things kinda' opened up gradually and most of them finished up pretty quickly. All in all a great game that I'd highly recommend.

If you like the Adventure Slots, this one's for you!
You have 4 different themed slots w/ challenges for each slot. Once you finish all the challenges you can move on to the next slot. The final challenges require you to best your opponents by getting the most money in a 10-minute period.

The more money you earn, the higher your rank, 1-5, on that slot and the more perks you get, i.e.higher percentage payout, more bonuses. Some of the challenges are pretty difficult and require some time, especially if you are in the lower rank on that slot. But I just relaxed, did a couple of challenges a day, and drew it out.
Graphics are very good and slot bonuses are fun and give you several options. Almost, I say ALMOST, as much fun as real slot, especially when I usually lose real money in the real slots!
I enjoyed this slot adventure more than any of the ones I've played before.

I loved this game. It was a little different than most BF HO games because of the science fiction theme. The HO scenes are relatively easy, but some of the puzzles are a little more difficult than many other games. There is, however, in addition to the "Hint" for HO scenes, an "Advice" button for what to do next. It gives progressive clues as to what to do next starting with just a nudge. The graphics were fine but nothing stellar. The story was really compelling, provided some excitement at the climax and had a satisfying end. Heartily recommend!

I downloaded the demo and played for long enough to find out that the grammar, spelling and translation to English was poor, poor, poor! I guess for some people that is ok. For me it is a total distraction and kinda' indicates the quality of the game. The graphics are good and the HO scenes did present some challenge because of the dark video, but I have trouble getting past the dialog which, to me, is part of the fun and storyline. If this doesn't bother you, play on!
I don't recommend this game.

This was an enjoyable game. The HO scenes were pretty easy (even when the graphics weren't the best#, as were the puzzles. Mostly holding on to lots of items until they could be used. But the Story journal told you what needed to be done in each area. Even though this wasn't much of a challenge #and rather short), the storyline was compelling and I liked the game a lot. The ending WAS a bit abrupt but certainly not as bad as many. All in all, a pretty good game.
I recommend this game!

I liked this game. It is a HO w/ the twist of the finding all the items to combine them to finish the circle. The HO's were not too challenging; neither were the puzzles. But I enjoyed the changing pictures which became chapters in a good storyline. I would have liked a little more challenge, but I enjoyed playing. It wasn't a GREAT game, but a nice one. Kinda' short, too, but worth the play.

Really loved this game! Puzzles weren't tooo difficult, but definitely I would say on the intermediate level. I did have to use the walkthru a couple times, but it was mostly because I had missed a small item somewhere. I liked using the time travel to get from place to place and it made the moving back and forth more enjoyable as well as the fun of stashing something in one time to retrieve it in another. HO scenes were pretty easy. Graphics good. The story line was great and kept your interest.

I began this game with 3 stars and it deteriorated as I went along. The HO scenes were okay and some items needed a good search. But the scans got tedious. The puzzles were very easy and, although they got a little harder through the game, they still posed little problem. AND - they were soooo repetitive. By the halfway point of the game, I was bored and couldn't wait to finish! The repetition really became annoying. The texts were problematic with the use of English. And the end made me shake my head.
I don't recommend this game.

Loved the comic book feel. The HO scenes were pretty easy, but I again liked the graphic novel look. Some of the puzzles were tricky just because you had to really scour the scene carefully to find all the parts/places to interact with. Some of the puzzles were a little different than the usual, but most were much like other games but with a twist graphically. The story was good and made sense. Very enjoyable game.
