I personally am not into romantic and mushy wedding games but this one was better than average. The graphics were brilliant, bright and clear and the background music equally as good - delving into the light classical. The plot was the usual wedding planning romantic stuff and the puzzles, some of which were entertaining to challenging up to perplexing. The hidden objects ranged from straightforward through to tricky and some very hard to find. The game itself moved along quite nicely and smoothly, sometimes interupted by annoying 'phone calls and other interactive interuptions but all in all an interesting pleasurable game.
I recommend this game!

This is a very poor addition to the Big Fish Game pond and was a very inferior rendition of a H.O. game. I have not yet completed this game and am in two minds whether to or not. The graphics were poor to average and 'furry' looking at best. There were no voice overs or speech bubbles and each character had a different colour script to match their hair or clothing and required lots of reading. After a short while I lost interest in the plot and the puzzles were not that crash hot either. The hidden objects were like trying find items in a partial shadowed room with a torch in every scene. I continued with the game for a while, hoping that it would improve - but it didn't as it seemed to drag on and on to become rather monotonous and boring.
I don't recommend this game.

Unlike a previous revewier I am a fella and I really enjoyed this game. The graphics were very good and clear and the dialogue was typical and topical without rambling on. The hidden objects were a mixed bag - whilst searching for 15 items - the first five were dead easy, the next five were harder and the last five or so were rather challenging. The game held my interest all through and although there were not many puzzles or mini games the challenge of the well hidden H.Os. some of which required some interaction made it well worth while.
I recommend this game!

This game was a typical wedding / romance type of game and although it really wasn't my cup of tea, it was enjoyable. The graphics were excellent, clear and defined and the hidden objects were fair to some quite challenging. The puzzles were reasonable except for cake decorating and flower arranging. The dialogue, although not long and drawn out tended to be a bit on the mushy side. The game itself is a good game for girls who like weddings and romantic stuff. Even though I liked it, it didn't really suit me.
I recommend this game!

Not your standard H.O. game but rather a search and find game - open doors, look in cupboards, lift or move rocks etc. Typical adventure game with reasonable but not exceptionable graphics and a good, interesting and sometimes challenging storyline and plot. The game flows along well whithout too much boring and disinteresting dialogue. The puzzles are quite reasonable with some being a tad harder but not over bearing. This game held my interest from go to whoa - worth the money.
I recommend this game!

The concept of the game was very good. I liked the challenge of finding the hidden objects associated with a given clue or idea. Some of the puzzles were a bit vague others were quite reasonable. The game itself was a bit drawn out and slow moving. Too much dialogue which became rather boring and tedious even though there were clues and details which were to be used later in the game, that is if you did not get sick of all the reading. The last drawback was that if during the game all your hints and guesses were used up, you had to go right back to the begining of that paticular stanza and replay all the dialogue to try again so as to continue.
I don't recommend this game.

This game held my interest from beginning to end. The graphics were great and clear and the puzzles were medium to challenging - a bit of everything really. The hidden objects - some were standard and many needed multiple parts to complete the item. I used the inbuilt strategy guide sparingly but the hints a tad more. All in all an intriguing and interesting game with Nellie and Tom helping a number of ghosts to find their peace - well worth a look.

The date references-prety well spot on, the details of the sinking though a bit awry and lacking authenticity. the Captain's review at the end of the game-very factual and spot on. As a game-entertaining, interesting and exciting. We all know that the Titanic eventually sunk and there is no way you can change that, but the lead up to the eventual end was both challenging, dramatic and fun filled. Following the adventures and deeds of the main character, her mother and her husband, together with the young lad and members of the crew kept the interest primed.
I recommend this game!

Not the usual H.O. game but still challenging. The word association hidden object clues were a good change. The dialog and story line although necessary and interesting did get a tad tedious as the game wore on.

The hidden objects were a real challenge some very hard to find but the hidden map locations I feel were over done - too many. For me not up to BFs usual high standard.
I don't recommend this game.
