I didn't think they could up the "Good Scrooge and the Bad Scrooge", 2nd Christmas Stories - but, oh they did!!! Loved being shrunk quickly and then made big - gotta feel for what Alice must have felt like! I also wish I was flying the plane instead of being in the back and that the flight was longer :).......you can tell I don't get out much :). Loved the whole game - Beautiful!
And let's not forget the bonus game. I have adored the cats in the first two and you made me them love them more and appreciate them as well. Well, more than I already did.
Thanks for all the hard work, commitment and beauty of this series - so nice any time of year, but it adds to this time of year!
I recommend this game!

I highly recommend this game:
The graphics are awesome.
The voice overs and lip syncing are top notch-some of the best I've seen
And talk about creepy - excellent - especially with Halloween right around the corner.
Not going to mention anything about the game, it is that good!!!!!
It's got one click and from the reviews I have viewed :), that seems to be a big plus and for me too!
Although I like using the map from time to time, because the makers, at times, make them pretty cool.
No helper, which I know some don't like, I happened to love getting a helper. I really like the one with the little scarecrow!! :)
There is a bit more about it that is awesome, but again, don't want the spoil it. I only played the demo, but looking forward the rest of it!
Good luck and I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I have.
PS - This is my first time being the first reviewer and I'm sorry I didn't add more information or write as elegantly.
I recommend this game!

Well, to put in simply, I wanted to wait and see how all the other games came out this year so far. I have to say there have been some great ones, but his baby is a keeper. In fact, I will leave the great applause for this game to every beautiful person who wrote in already and described this game wonderfully.
My whole point in this, is to stress that this game should be without a doubt:
The GAME OF THE YEAR!
I hope other game makers and Mad Head themselves continue in this type of vein, because it is glorious!!!!
And I too liked that there were African-American people in this game - the music, the voice overs, the HO's, the puzzles, the uniqueness of it all makes them game a play over, many times over
Thank you to Bigfish and MadHead Games for sending out this jewel.
I am a huge purchaser of BF, so for me, please continue your hard work and know it is SO appreciated and LOVED!!

Loved this game and these gamers have made it not only challenging, but so beautiful at times. And to top that off, in my humble opinion, an ending where the battle takes some doing. It's been awhile and have written to suggest a more fearsome ending compared to what's been offered for awhile, so thank you for listening - keep it and maybe we can be offered more stages of challenge to the ending? !?!
The bonus was cool - loved the giant crystal man - just wish it could have been a little bit longer. Not complaining, just wishing :). Please, not only THANK YOU to the hard workers of these games, but to their family and friends as well
I recommend this game!

It's been awhile, not since the Houdini SE game, where you really are glad you got it and if you lucky enough to have a coupon after filling your punch card. You aren't wasting it on either a weird game or it's too childish for words. So thank you for making this game!!! Let's hope more game makers will concentrate on the SE's as much as they do the CE's. I have MANY games I've purchased through BigFish and it would be nice to have my coupons put to good use or purchased. I assure I will not stop getting the CE's if the caliber of the SE's is good as well. Thank you!
I recommend this game!

I love the graphics in this game and going into books was awesome. My complaint to all the recent games, they are too short.......look at Mystery Trackers, just as an example and their games are long and more complex. They are only 1 example of several others out there as well and I only mentioned them because It was the first one that came to mind. I feel the puzzles are getting weaker, so to speak. I also like when they offer the bubble games and there is a new version in one of the games I really liked or even mahjong. It's just nice for them to offer a different alternative then just doing the hidden objects, although this had what some of the others have had, where instead of finding the objects you have to interact a lot with other things; that sort of tell a story in a way, of finding what you are ultimately going to receive. That's cool and then they mix it with the standard HO. Thanks for all your work though, love the music, graphics, lighting is awesome in all the games recently - the coloring just superb!!!! And I do appreciate all that you guys/gals do. So THANK YOU again.
I recommend this game!

It is a good game, although the bad creature was really weird and I was a bit disappointed in how to finish him off.
But overall, it was great in that you didn't have to get the CE version to get a Bonus story and a map to move around easily. I wish more were made this way, so I could use my bonus coupons more often.
So I THANK you for making it enjoyable and not over too quickly!
I recommend this game!

This was a nice treat, the whole new Deluxe version is something I hope you'll repeat. I love the collector's editions, but too often I can't find good ones where I can use my punch cards for a great game, this was one of them that I could that is like the CE's.,....And like the new BCA story - GREAP GRAPHICS/HISTORY/CLARITY, meant to say that earlier on that game.....but this too was good in that regard, also I wasn't disappointed with the ending. Some of them; the ending is a let down on how to defeat the bad guy, etc......and like BCA, I enjoyed the history and w/this the Time Travel big time! Thanks for all your hard work on most of the games. I do like the straight HO games too, so please keep up with those too.

I really like the complexity of mixing the Big City Adenture with a story plot together with hidden objects. Best one yet! Do it again! Please
