I could not wait to buy this game...and I was NOT disappointed! Can I just say you will never go wrong with an Elephant game. Elephant just can't put 'em out fast enough for me.
I recommend this game!

Thank you for such a great game! Terrific graphics, great storyline, map works like a charm, intergrated SG easy to follow, achievements, smooth navigation, great bonus play! This game is far and above some of the other CE's I've purchased lately and I want more!
I recommend this game!

Good thing I bought this as a $1.99 add-on to another CE. This was quite a tedious, almost boring game IMO. Too many cut scenes, too much dialogue that you couldn't skip. The map was useless, couldn't jump to locations, the hint button gave you direction without really giving you directions. The interaction was minimal, the only real challenge were the HO's which we few and far between. Quite honestly, I almost quit the game more than once but I had to slug it out because, well, I paid for it.
I don't recommend this game.

I've played all the Strange Cases games and liked them all! They're not really mind-numbingly complicated nor mind-numbingly boring and I did actually have to use the hint button and reference the BF strategy guide more than I thought I'd have to. All in all, I enjoyed this. My game ran a little "jerky" but not so much as to make it just a tolerable annoyance. The storyline made sense, just enough interaction to keep it interesting and the HO's and puzzles were fairly challenging - some of the puzzles were downright hard! I really like the clear graphics...I don't much care for the cartoonish, "dreamy-looking" graphics on some games and, honestly, don't buy them for that reason. The only complaint is maybe it isn't quite as long as I'd have liked, but I'll definitely buy the next Strange Cases game!
I recommend this game!

Wow...what a great game! Fun Fun Fun...visuals/graphics were beautiful and an engaging storyline. Just challenging enough to keep it interesting and lots of help available if you need it. I adore Elephant games and am seldom if ever disappointed with the quality. FINALLY a game with no dark, sinister story...perfect for Christmastime (but it's a keeper I'll play again!) I RECOMMEND!
I recommend this game!

Another excellent game from Elephant! Visuals/graphics amazing, engaging storyline that keeps you immersed in the story. I am SO glad I bought this game! Not your run-of-the-mill HOG and not the run-of-the-mill story...just enough interaction to keep you interested and on your toes. Map is easy to use, love the integrated SG. For once, a game and bonus content long enough to feel "I'm getting my money's worth". Thanks, BFG and Elephant...keep 'em coming!

Very nice game! No ghosts, goblins, ghouls, specters, phantoms, demons...just alot of fun! Interesting and engaging storyline and GREAT graphics, everything is crisp and clear. Just enough interaction to keep you on your toes but not so much running back and forth as to make it tedious. This is NOT your typical point-and-click HOG. I really appreciated the intergrated guide and did refer to it quite a bit. I played for hours and do no regret one bit buying this game. Kudos to this developer...MORE, please!!
I recommend this game!

I've played hundreds of HO games and I like the combination of puzzle-solving in your HO search, not just spot and click! Makes it more challenging to figure out what you're supposed to do. Not alot of back-tracking either. Graphics are terrific! Good storyline, keeps you interested. Puzzles weren't so hard they made you run for your walkthrough or skip button and just enough actions to complete per screen to keep you on your toes. More, please!
I recommend this game!

This game was okay...it was a little longer than some. The HOS were challenging (sometimes confusing) and some things were not easy at all to spot or know what to do with them (I had to use the hint more than I like). Graphics good (I don't play with the sound on so that's lost on me) and I did like the interactive portions. I COULD have done without the bobbing-up-and-down simulated walking. I thought that was a bit "hokey". All in all, not one of my favorites but fairly enjoyable.
I recommend this game!
