I was actually surprised at how much I enjoyed this game. While puzzle complexity is a personal thing, this game got it right for me...not brain-busting and not kindergarten easy either.. Overall the graphics were pretty good all though the animation could definitely use some improvement. (For the life of me, I don't understand why EIPIX does improve this and the graphics compression). They once told me they create games in HD and then compress them for BFG. Here's an idea - create them at a level that doesn't require compression!
I recommend this game!

I'll add my review to the pile of positive reviews of this game. I'll sum up by saying that I pretty much like everything about it....graphics, quality, artwork, voice-overs, challenge (some puzzles easier while others are tougher). I hope that 4Friends continues to turn out games of their current quality. Even with my positive review, I always suggest a trial of the game before buying.
I recommend this game!

I'm about half way through the purchased game and it's the best one I've played on BFG in quite some time. The graphics quality is what I wish all of the developers would aspire to on BFG. The story line is great and engaging and the puzzles and HOPs are not so piled on top of one another that you forget the story (as too many developers are doing these days.) 5-BN and Domini are about the only developers left on BFG that still use 3D-type graphics instead of the cartoonish 2D adopted by most other developers. I give it 5 stars but, as always, try it before you buy it!
I recommend this game!

I'm about 40% through the purchased game. I'm having fun with it. It straddles the line between silly and creepy fun and I think it balances the two types well. I've always thought that Elephant knows how to do high-end graphics better than just about any other developer on BFG. I DO recommend this game if you life fun, Halloween games.
That said, here's where I wish Elephant would improve: (1) Graphics too similar to the type used in Midnight Calling (2) enough with the amulet/keys (3) Increased difficulty buy not to the point of taking forever to solve (4) longer games (this is my biggest gripe across all of BFG).
As always, I suggest at least a short trial before buying.
I recommend this game!

I found the story of this game excellent and engaging. The graphics of all locations however were blurred and very poorly done. You would have to go back about 8+ years to find games with graphics this poorly done. Eipix is a seasoned developer and there is just no excuse for this. I'm still at a loss for why BFG allows game quality to continue to fall like this. Shorter games, worsening graphics, no logic, and ridiculously easy puzzles...remind me again why we should continue to buy/play these games???

While the cut-scene graphics won't win any awards, the story is engaging and maintained my interest. If a small developer can do this, it makes you wonder why the larger and more mature developers can't do it also!
I recommend this game!

It seems Amax games keep getting shorter and shorter. The graphics are very nice in this game. The game itself is exactly like every other AMAX game these days....they are all mostly the same game rehashed over and over. Regardless of story or game play, based on how short the game is, there is no way I will buy the CE. The value is just not there. I honestly don't understand the logic behind making these games shorter and shorter.
I don't recommend this game.

It seems like I'm writing the same review over and over. In fact, I am because it's the same tired old premise, cookie cutter tasks, etc in game after game, and especially in this series. Every game in this series is exactly like the one before. I actually like Domini Games but this series needs to end...and soon! Other's have detailed the issues so I won't rehash them here. I highly suggest a demo before purchasing this!
I don't recommend this game.

If you want very poorly done graphics that look like they were produced 10-15 years ago, look no further than this game. It was so badly done that I didn't last more than 10 minutes into the trial before I uninstalled. Really Bigfish and Artifex?
I don't recommend this game.

I made the mistake of buying this game without trialing it. Big mistake. This is the most boring game I've played in a long time. I thought Amax had finally turned the corner, but I was sadly mistaken. The graphics and challenge are ok, but what good is that if you bored stiff. I absolutely suggest trialing this before buying!
I don't recommend this game.
