I liked it, so I bought it. Then, at what seems to be a halfway point, it just stops. Stops. Just like that. You can't proceed, and the message is something like "Level 1 complete." Guess what? There is no Level 2. It just stops. Ridiculous waste of money and time.
I don't recommend this game.

I liked it, too. So I bought it. Not far into the game it becomes impossible. I had to use the strategy guide all the time. Way too much back and forth - get something in scene 9, have to go back to scene 1 to use it, etc., which wouldn't be so bad if there weren't a zillion scenes. Impossible. And, finally, just plain tiring.
I don't recommend this game.

Without a doubt the dumbest game I've played in a long time. Do not, repeat, do not waste your time.

The concept is brilliant - but the game misses the mark. Any good crossword player knows to use one word to gain another, then another. But these crosswords are so sparse that you can't really use one letter or word to intuit another. And the little fluttering clue thingie is impossible. If the crossword were packed full, then it might be wonderful. But alas, it's not.
I don't recommend this game.

Interesting HOGs, featuring typical ones, along with the ones in which you find various parts of an object (not my favorite type - but not bad here). Also, if you successfully complete a scene (including finding 4 or 5 gold coins), that scene is added to a map, making it possible to jump from one scene to another without having to go back through four or five scenes and then return four or five scenes to the current scene - always tedious. Interesting puzzles which are do-able. And a strategy guide, for those who want to use it.
I recommend this game!

I don't like the HOG with silouttes of items to find, so I didn't like this one. And, it takes approximately forever to find items like a syringe, scalpel, etc.
I don't recommend this game.

A lot of back-and-forth. Not intuitive at all. Just frustrating.
I don't recommend this game.

Impossible to tell what to do - no hints. Second awful game of this series I have tried.
I don't recommend this game.
