Is is just me or are some of the levels in this game impossible to solve? Why have I been stuck on the same level for ever. Can't solve Level 22, so can't play any more. Grrr.
I don't recommend this game.

I love cats and love the idea of a game incorporating cats, but I was a little disappointed. The scenes are beautiful and the "jigsaw-style" puzzles are OK but I don't think it's worth paying for the CE version. The CE apparently includes six additional "locations" but unless there's something wonky, I'd already attempted all six as part of the standard game, so they weren't a CE bonus. Also, still not sure if it's possible to go back and try and beat a previous score, which would be a nice feature.
I don't recommend this game.
In The Wild Case, go on a first-person point-and-click adventure and explore a remote village located deep within a mysterious forest.

I loved this game. Sure it's a bit rough around the edges and the dialogue was a bit tedious, but I love games where you have to think for yourself. If the developers had smoothed out the dodgy bits, it would have been close to perfect. Not for those who need constant "hand-holding" and "sparkly hints" or who can't figure things out for themselves. The scenery is beautiful and the story presents a bit of an "ah ha" moment at the end. Bring on more games like this one.
I recommend this game!

Like other Fishies, I was disappointed with this Mystery Trackers game. If the devs had spent a little more time on the details, it might be less embarrassing for them. The speech dialogue often doesn't match the voice over. Got part way through the Bonus game and can't finish it. I can't get the horn onto the bull. So, a messy game that I can't finish. Sheesh!
I don't recommend this game.

Like lots of other Fishies, I've been a Mystery Case Files fan since day dot and this is a big disappointment. It starts out promising to be a classic MCF and somehow morphs into yet another weird, other-worldy spirit thing just like a zillion other HO games here at Big Fish. Not worth the Collector's Edition price so I'm very glad I got the Weekend Special price. Wouldn't have bothered otherwise. It's almost like the Devs ran out of energy about 2/3rds of the way through and resorted to an oft-repeated theme that's way beyond tedious without the level of challenge we expect from MCF games.
I don't recommend this game.

I've got all the previous Rescue Team games and love them. This one? Not so much. If it had an option to turn off the suggested actions, I'd give it 4 or 5 stars. Very disappointed and feeling buyer's remorse big time.
I don't recommend this game.

I am not sure I understand this game. I get what it is supposed to be, but if the narrative is anything to go by, it has taken many, many years to get to this point and I would expect more for that investment. Thank goodness I used a freebie to get this game. Maybe I need to spend more time exploring because the description says "a huge variety of new puzzles" but they are just a bunch of "variation on a theme" and mostly pretty boring. Oh, and it crashed at the end. Not much chop.
I don't recommend this game.

Now you're talking. This is the sort of brain-strain I really need and enjoy. Beautiful, quirky graphics, funny little characters. I love it. More of this sort of game please.
I recommend this game!

This was a pretty amateurish attempt, clearly developed by kids. Thank goodness I had a freebie spare and didn't have to pay good money for this. Took me about 2 hours to finish. Skipped some of the puzzles because they were just too boring and tedious. The lagging cursor and delays while screens loaded were were annoying but not nearly as annoying as having to endure yet another car crash beginning with a save the kid plot. Come on Big Fish, there must be some more creative, mature developers out there somewhere.
I don't recommend this game.
