I really don't understand all the negative reviews for this game......Yes, the scenes are a little dark, but not so where I couldn't find anything......It's an older HO but I found it fun and relaxing......A nice change from the more complicated games ......Story line is weak but I just followed along and played the game.....I didn't have any trouble clicking on the objects and the hint button was very helpful....All in all a good old fashioned HO and I enjoyed playing it....
I recommend this game!

I absolutely love this game.....I own all four of them and have played them all four times.....I had a ball playing this.....It's relaxing with good graphics, lots of time to finish each level, and very easy to understand what to do.....I especially love the mummies who keep dropping their heads....I get a good laugh out of that....I wish you could interact with the animals....What fun that would be......Thumbs up Big Fish and really hope there's a fifth one on the way.....Love it!!!

I really hate timed games.... I was enjoying this game immensely til I realized it was timed and that's the only choice you have...Based on the demo this is really a good game.....nice graphics, easy to understand what you're supposed to do, and I love any game based on history or other countries. I have to give it four stars only because it is timed....I like a game where I can relax and play at my on pace and be able to enjoy looking at the scenery instead of having to rush through everything....I do recommend the game even though I won't be buying it simply because it's timed. Keep up the good work Big Fish!!

This game was so easy to follow.....The hint tells you just what you need to do & even shows you which objects in your inventory to use.....The VOs were very good because you're talking to a soul & you can't see their mouth move anyway, but it's very understandable......The story flows smoothly & there's not a lot of running around trying to find what goes where.....You do backtrack but only by a scene or two.....The graphics were done neatly & things are easy to see but some of the objects in the HOs are hard to find......You have to move some things around to find an object or some of them are blended in so well it takes some time to find them......I played in the casual mode & this game was very relaxing & easy to follow.....Also, you don't tear your hair out trying to find things or where to go next......I highly recommend this game & I commend the developers on a job well done......Would love to see more like this......Thanks Big Fish & I hope the devs bring us lots more games....
I recommend this game!

Yes the game is somewhat corny & yes the HOS are hard to find, but you just have to sit back, relax, take your hand off the mouse & look!!!.....You'd be surprised at how many of them start jumping out at you......I really enjoyed this game....It was a lot of fun & different than the dreary dark ones I've been playing..(although I like those too)....The graphics were very clear on my computer & I love the unlimited hints, that is always a plus....Not being able to find the HOS right away is the challenge to this game & it makes it last longer....Thanks BFG & devs for bringing us these simple & fun games lately......I'm having a blast playing them!!!.....I highly recommend this game just for the simplicity & fun factor......

Boy!!.....People were really down on this game!!!!......I found the game refreshing & very easy to play......Maybe we've gotten so much high tech stuff we've forgotten the simple things & how much fun they can be.......I just finished playing the demo & as soon as I get through with this review, I'm going to buy it!!.....I gotta find out what her man is doing!!......I found the graphics good on my computer & the directions tell you where to find the HO list & the hint button......You have to read at the beginning or sometimes you miss things......The HOS were delightful & not too hard......I'm a fan of straight HOGS anyway so this was right up my alley......I say give the game a chance & sit back & enjoy it instead of fighting it just because it isn't "high tech"......I recommend this game & wish there were more like it.....The only downside is it wasn't long enough......Thanks BFG & developers for coming thru for us "just straight HOGers"......Love it!!

Like the other Adventure stories I thoroughly enjoyed this one!!!....The graphics were great & I like that you get bonus points at the end of each scene, even if you did have to use the hint button a couple of times.....The level of challenge was just right....Some of the crowns were hard to find as were a few of the hidden objects but not so where you wrack your brain trying to find them.....I really love these straight HOGS every once in awhile.....It gives you a break from the deep, dark games & the running back & forth.....This game was as good or maybe a little better than the other Adventure games......I highly recommend this game for the players who, like me, enjoy a good, straight HOG......Thank you BFG & the developers for another great game....

I really enjoyed this game & found it very relaxing & a good story line......Once again I am going to say, THIS IS A HIDDEN OBJECT GAME!!!!!.....I don't know why it surprises people when the review of the game tells you it's a hidden object......I love the HOGS & wish there were more of just HOGS.....There are enough adventure games but not nearly enough straight HOS......To get back to my review.....The graphics were well done & if you haven't played a Veronica Rivers game yet, I suggest you play the first one before playing this one......I really enjoyed the first one & will definitely buy this one.....I do hope BFG is working on a third installment.....Keep those HOGS coming BFG & I'll keep buying them......I highly recommend this game.....

I was hooked the first 5 mins into the game......I also have Murder Among Friends & this game is even better than it!.....I really enjoyed this game because we FINALLY got an almost strictly HO game.....This was a refreshing change from the dark & dreary games & the scenery was great....I heartily recommend this game & hope we get more like it.....Looking forward to the next one in this series.....Thanks BFG & the developers....You got it right!!

I thought this game was kinda fun.....I loved the many HOS.....I hate to keep mentioning this, people, but these ARE Hidden Object Games......Don't know why you keep complaining about too many HO scenes.....This is why I started playing this type of game, for the hidden objects.....This game gives you historical facts & it's fun to find out the many different things of the story.....Sure, it's not up to date but it's still a good game......I give it a big thumbs up & I would recommend this game....
