Spending time writing this review for such a horrible game is minutes of my life that I will never get back. I didn't even play for 5 minutes and had to exit the agony. STAY AWAY from this game. Its an insult to even a 5 year olds intelligence. Shame on you BFG.
I don't recommend this game.

Vacation Adventures is one of my few favorite series on BFG. Casual Arts is a fantastic developer!
I do wish they would come out with a new series, in addition tho this one and Christmas Wonderland, so we could have another game to enjoy during the year.
If you haven't played Vacation Adventures or Christmas Wonderland, you are missing out.
I recommend this game!

I'm not sure what game the 4 and 5 star people were playing but it surely couldn't have been what I played. I couldn't even make it through the demo. Other than some of the mini games/HO scenes, this game was horrible in all categories. These developers are getting worse and BFG continues to support them....on our dime. I just recently reinstated my game club subscription but based on games like this, I may have to cancel again.
I don't recommend this game.

I agree that the graphics are not very good. Game play was OK but not overly fun. The puzzles were much better than the HO scenes. The storyline I found to be quite boring. The characters are not very relatable. The story lines with Mia are MUCH better....bring Mia back and get rid of this mom and daughter team. I can't recommend paying money for this game, which is becoming a recurring theme here on BigFish.
I don't recommend this game.

Love the Golden Rails series. I could only give it 3 stars because I couldn't get past level 3. There is an apparent random glitch in the game as noted by other reviews. On level 3 you need to remove the bandit but the gold you need to acquire is located behind the bandit so there is no way to remove him. If this issue was fixed I would consider purchasing but until then, not gonna happen.
I don't recommend this game.

There is no challenge to this game at all. The HO scenes are too short and way too easy. I can't remember what the graphics/visuals were like so they must not have been too impressive. If you have a child that likes HOP games, this one is perfect....for a 7 year old.
I don't recommend this game.

Nothing new, same repetitious game. Fun to play if its free. Not sure I want to buy another one of these games. BIG problem with the puzzles where you have to click and rotate. Does not work on Mac. I'm using a trackpad and there is no way to rotate the pieces. Same on all games like this. Get rid of the rotating pieces. And lets get off the Paris/European storyline, which by the way I do not read. Boring story.
I don't recommend this game.

One of the best games here on BFG. This game never gets old! Iconic and perfect! The only thing I would personally like to see change is less Mahjong and more Hidden Object and Find the Difference.
I recommend this game!

Not sure why all the 5 star ratings, especially from the experienced HOG players. I did enjoy playing this game and it did seem longer than most HO games. But there is a lot of room for improvement.
Pros:
Great graphics.
Visually interesting and even funny characters.
New style of HO puzzles.
Interactive/changing tool.
Cons:
*No conversation audio. Stopped after the first or second chapter.
*Some of the HO puzzles instructions were confusing. I sometimes found myself staring at the screen trying to figure out how to play, only to finally see the "directions" off to the side blended into the picture.
*Important images (with codes) disappeared too quickly.
*The map was basically useless, it always showed that a scene had an active task (which really wasn't active yet)
*Too easy to click near the bottom and be taken out of the scene.
*Storyline was weird if not confusing.
*I reached the last room of the (childish and basic) bonus game and the non-audio conversation said "the last door, I hope I find something interesting" then....nothing. Took me back to the main screen.
*Couldn't play the card bonus game because i lacked one card. I hate when that happens. Give us the opportunity to go back to that scene and find it. Plus some of these were not easy to find. Sometimes they had it out in open and sometimes you had to click on something to reveal it. What?? Who knew??
*Another thing that bothers me (in all HOGs except Domini) is if I select custom play and want to play with NO skip recharge time for hints and puzzles, I should be able to.
With game play corrections, better storylines and maybe a little less childish, this game/developer would be promising.
I don't recommend this game.

I think I dozed off while playing the demo. This game was just horrible. I dont think I have ever rated a game this low. Those 5 star raters must have been playing a different game. I am slowing losing my faith in playing a great HOG on here again. BFG you can do better than what you have been providing us with in the last 2 years.
I don't recommend this game.
