It is too bad that the developers did not listen to those of us who beta tested the game. At least they got rid of the hee, hee sound she use used to make. I couldn't stand the laughter, let along the silly doll. Once you get past the doll the game is great, some very new interacting HOPS. And surprising plot. This game is definitely not for the hard core player. It is more for one who enjoys a straight line game that does not take a week to finish! Give it a chance, enjoy the 60 % off sale!
I recommend this game!

It lacks sense, the hint button is worthless. The visual is old, old, old style, very flat. This is one that needed to be left unfound--not even worth BFG free game coupon. This the first time I write such a bad review.
I don't recommend this game.

Sorry, this is the worst ever game, I have played. Lasted 30 minutes too much. Too much dialogue reading, no voice over. Old fashion hidden object scenes which will leave you blind. The music is very obtrusive and not appropriate for the game. It also runs very sluggish and takes forever to load from one scene to another. Play it before you buy. I pass on this one, would not waste one my free game coupon!!
I don't recommend this game.

It is not the greatest, but it kept my interest up with the variety of different things to do. Have so far enjoyed all the games. The Gadget may be annoying to some, but I found it challenging and fun. At least it is not dreary and filthy as Fright, I am getting tire of run down falling apart locations and stories. The one thing I find fault with is no lip movement when someone talks. Even after reading what everyone writes; fishies, you should try the game and make your own mind up. I truly recommend the game. And with special sale this one is a buy for me!!!

The music is outstanding. I love the way her aunts sings. W ow, the setting is perfect for this exciting and different hopa. It has collectibles, achievements, no sparkles, hint or skips for the hardcore players like Nilosh, LOL.So far all the puzzles and ho's have different. Finish the first two chapters and immediately bought it. I rarely write reviews, do not like to spoil the story by telling it all. But the dead saxophonist has resuscitated and is seeking revenge. Have fun, try you will like it, especially with this weekend sale.

I was addicted to this game from the start, This is the best of the Final Cut series. Everything you want in a game and more. Intriguing story, wonderful new puzzles (Rabbit/carrot cube), silhouette and HOPA hidden object combined, regular HO games with morphing objects, 45 clapper boards to collect (some very well hidden) and achievements to earn. With the weekend special, it was a wonderful gift from BFG. So for those of you who got hypnotized and bought the game , enjoy enjoy!!

Finally a morbid comedy, bright colors, non junky HO's and enjoyable story with collectibles to collect. Tried it and you will like this south of the border mystery adverture HOG. Most of the puzzles so far seem to be easy to do, some are new. Enjoy, enjoy the game. Will definitely buy monday when you get an extra punch, that if I can wait

Enjoyed the demo so much bought it at once this morning at 2:am, 9/2/2012. And even better with the special labor day savings. I love it, funny and a little different. A real working hint button that tells you what to do correctly, plus I love collecting extra stuff; in this one is lions. You need more of this games that are not so frustrating to play and are laughable.
I recommend this game!
