this game might not be up to everybodies expectations, but i really enjoyed playing. some people didn't seem to care for the pop up mummies, but i loved them! what a hoot... i didn't realize till reading some of the reviews that you get extra hints for shooting them...i just liked knocking them off...lol it was fun, and i would have liked more of them to shoot.
some of the mini games were to much for me, my brain cells short curcuit these days and what used to be easy to figure out, isn't anymore. so i did skip quite a few of them. i finished the demo in 45 minutes, probably due to skipping those mini games
i played on the easy level, with no sound, as i want games that don't tax me much or have too many distractions. but, even though i enjoy 'easy', relaxing games, i still want the challenge. this game delivered.
i liked the game within the game minis, the pop up mummies, the HOGs, and the scenes weren't cluttered with so much junk it was impossible to find items.
I recommend this game!

i didn't like this game at all. i didn't care for the way it's set out, the way it's played or the feel of the game.
i do like HOGs as a general rule, and i like that there is an extra element to look for as in the gems in each scene. that being said, it just wasn't the kind of HOG that i care for. i got through the first scene and stopped.
I don't recommend this game.

what was the point? why go to the trouble of making such a horrible game? the hidden objects are hard to find, the colors of the scenes are harsh and hurt your eyes... no ooomph, nothing to draw your interest, just boring and dumb. sorry, but i just get so irritated with game developers who put out such junk. read the reviews, find out what people want, and try a little harder to give quality to what you are trying to sell people.
I don't recommend this game.

can't see what the fuss about this one is. i find it boring, graphics too muted in color to be inspiring, and just plain lame.
why are all these new games just boring replays of the same ole same ole? just another quick turnover with nothing new to sell to the public...not a game i enjoyed, free or not. played a short time before removing it from my play list.
I don't recommend this game.

can't say i thought much of this one. too much back tracking to get an item to use in another room, then back through the house to find something else to take back to a room to use, before leaving again to find another item...over nd over, nd over again.
the hog's weren't clear when you needed to find items that went with the items in the bar... you see a pallete, you need to click the paintbrush in the scene... or maybe you have to put a ribbon with a pair of scissors...doesn't make sense until the hint button shows you what to put the ribbon with. i used the hint button a lot.
there is no map, so you have to do the 'back n forth' over nd over, without any guide to where or why.
it was okay for a free demo, but i wouldn't buy it.
I don't recommend this game.

this is the first time i've ever seen a demo that doesn't say '60 minutes'... it just says 'free trial'... i will say that it is one of the easier hob games i've played, but i like that. i don't want to be frustrated because the items are too small to find, or the instructions aren't clear, or the games are too hard. i just want to be entertained while i relax and have fun.
that being said, i was put out that i didn't get the full 60 minutes.
makes me wonder if the game is overly short, so they don't want you to get too far in the demo. because of this, i won't be buying this game. there is nothing that irritates me like a good game that is too short. i am not much for quickly replaying a game, sometimes it takes me years before i go back to one i've already played.
I don't recommend this game.

seriously?!? you put out a game for Christmas that is so thoroughly frustrating i'd rather be in a dept store on black friday ! i didn't get through the first hog before i was so fed up with the tiny items you were to find, not to mention the amount of junk to wade through, that i backed out and gave up. not buying this one, not even finishing the demo!
I don't recommend this game.

i just can't figure out the good reviews...i enjoyed the first game well enough, but this one...not so much. the graphics were so so, the game play slow and uninteresting. i didn't care for the limited 'stackability', and the look of the overall game seemed small. it seemed like a downgrade from the first game and was just disappointing to me

Can't believe how awful this game turned out to be. Such a waste of time and money. Not only was it poorly done, but had no flow, or challenge to it. The game developers pulled a fast one with this one. Absolutely no replay value as the initial game had nothing to recommend it.
Finished this game in record time, only a few hours of boring play, that I couldn't wait to be done with... Can't see what the others saw in it, and wished I'd researched it better. Makes me wonder if the reviews are generated by the developers.
I don't recommend this game.
