I have been a huge fan of the Rescue Team since they appeared on this platform, bought every single one of them and usually without trying the demo, this time it felt odd, so I did the demo first.
I am still puzzled about what I was supposed to do, and what was the aim of it all, it felt so complicated, so estranged that I gave up and uninstalled the game.
If this is what the future holds for the Rescue Team, it is goodbye and farewell from me.

Only played the demo for 5mn.
It started well with great British humour and yes the graphics were dated but it had its charm, however there were many issues with the navigation controls within the game (not user friendly at all) and i couldn't be bothered to go further.
Firstly the options were only about the sound, you couldn't have a "windowed screen" (the other menu tabs seemed to have been disabled), secondly when interacting with the characters and using a mouse you had to open a mini-menu for either talking, doing something etc on every single thing, therefore it was not flowing, it felt like such a chore that it put me off.
Not for me, shame because it had all the right ingredients to make it a fun and challenging game.

Based on the demo....hmmm...where to start?
Just boring, plain boring, all the other reviewers who didn't like it said it all.
My criteria for the rating is based on the exact wording, did I have fun playing it? Not really...Did I enjoy the graphics? Not really...Did I find the game challlenging? (I mean did my neurons had to work on that one in terms of strategy?)...not for one second. Was the storyline capturing my imagination? I am afraid not.
It is definitely not CE material, on any level, I do not recommend it: absolutely not value for money, just a poor exercise of recycling old graphics and challenges instead of upcycling, not for me!

I really enjoyed the two previous games in that series and this one doesn't fail to deliver: what I like the most is the challenge level, it is very difficult to play on the "advanced/hardcore" option...and that suits me fine, makes me try and try again until I can achieve gold stars everywhere.
I do not play withthe sound "ON" so I cannot comment on that, the visual is extremely basic and not enticing, so maybe that will put off some people who might be able to enjoy it otherwise... which would be a shame.
The story line is nothing to write home about so..

Where should I start... ok I have finished the demo, I play withthe sound off and i have bought every single Incredible Dracula before in CE and i fully understand some fresh "blood" is needded to keep a game/series on their toes...having said all that.
I just couldn't believe my eyes, the graphics were horrid, trying to mock origami but instead looking cheap and nasty; the characters which were so cute and fun and so beautifully drawn are just a shadow of themselves; the level of challenge is way too easy in normal mode(which is the difficult mode by the way), with the old games I had the impression to get value for money but on this one I didn't feel challenged one moment; the storyline is just tedious; the resources are new ...and?

I am hugely disappointed, not sure if the game play could improve on purchase, I will wait for the standard version and will use a spare coupon.
A very very sad and frustrated fan of Incredible Dracula and on that basis I will not recommend this game
I don't recommend this game.

Only played the demo, didn't find it exciting, nothing to write home about either in the story line or the construction of the game...maybe the pace was too slow, maybe the characters were boring,maybe it felt like "déjà vu" once too many... in any case the fun factor was totally lacking for me and this is why I will not recommend it
I don't think I would even waste a free coupon on it.
It might appeal to beginners and/or intermediate

Good TM games are an endangered specie so when the sequel to the Dracula "Chasing Love" was released I was very excited.
It is fun, it is challenging, I love the story-line, the graphics are the only "let down", they don't feel as crisp and well done as in the original game. Having said that,it still delivers, I enjoy playing the game, well done BF!

I have just completed 20mn of the trial/Windows 7/sound off
I am racking my brain to find something positive: the garphics were pleasant enough to entice me to play the trial and that was it:
The puzzles and tasks were totally unchallenging
The navigation was dire and there were so many clicks to start with that it put me off rapidly, I understand you have to point and click but to that extent, wow!
The pointers were not great especially when you had to find small objects, also in one of the challenges you had to put objects out of the way to retrieve a specific object and despite doing it properly you could still not grab that object unless you move the others in a way the developers had in mind, so it was very illogical...
For all the reasons above , I will pass on purchasing that game, not for me!

Where do I start?
I enjoyed it so much, it was just great:to follow that caveman through various adventures; the animation was superb, all the characters were cleverly animated, it had lots of twists, plenty of puzzles to solve, hugely difficult and yet I was hooked from episode 1.
For me it ticked absolutely every box of what a great puzzle game should look and sound like and I am a very difficult customer.
This game is totally targeted to "Expert" players enjoying that category and i am so pleased about that, at long last!
Well done to the developers and to BigFish for releasing it.
