I've had this game in my library for many years, but I'd never played it until now. I like everything about it...the storyline, the engagement, and the challenge. I wish BFG still made games of the caliber.
I recommend this game!

For me, this is the best BFG release in years. It's very well. done. It has humor, challenge, great graphics, and an engaging storyline. My hat is off to the developers. I highly recommend at least a trial of this game.

5BN has always done an impressive job of creating games. They are, by far, my favorite developer on BFG. They have not caved in and taken shortcuts over the years, as all the other developers have done. Secondly, they always do great 3D animated games. This is a very long game and well-worth the CE price, even without a discount. I've been playing for 4 days and I'm only half-way through the game. I usually play around 2hrs per day, so you can do the math. The puzzles are on the difficult side. I have been skipping quite a few, as I don't want to spend most of the 2hr session on a single puzzle, and not because I can't solve them. I highly recommend the game.
I recommend this game!

I'll begin my review with a few questions. Why couldn't BF spend a bit to get British voice actors for all characters in its biggest-selling game series? Why is BF intent on destroying the entire adventure game genre with such poor quality and unimaginative games? How do you call this anything remotely akin to an MCF game? Based on these questions, you can guess my suggestion on whether to buy it. BF needs to stick to the basics of what makes an MCF game an MCF game before any story writing begins.
I don't recommend this game.

First off - I'm a huge fan of 5-BN. They are the only remaining adventure developer on BFG that hasn't compromised their quality over the years. That said, this is a great game. Unlike, games from other developers, I didn't become bored within 30 minutes of starting it. I definitely recommend this one!

The visuals in this game are geared to kids. The story was an absolute mess. It was just plain weird. I feel like this and almost every adventure game released on BFG these days are geared to kids. I'd like to think that most of us are adults. Elephant used to be my favorite developer. That ended when they switch to what I call childish graphics. I bought this game but didn't finish it. The story just made little sense and it quickly became boring. I truly wish that BFG would realize that the company itself is the biggest reason adventure games are failing. They have reduced the graphics and challenge to that of a 10 year old. I realize they want to sell to the widest audience but reducing graphics to this level to reach even the oldest, lowest-end PCs is what's truly killing the adventure genre.
I don't recommend this game.

From the very opening moments, I could tell that this was going to be a great game. One of the things that I immediately appreciated was the quality voice-overs. Too often, BFG uses young employees to do the VOs and they are attrocious. The story-line is engaging. The puzzles and hidden object scenes and often unique. I highly recommend this game. This is the first positive review that I've done in quite some time. Great job, GrandMa!
I recommend this game!

Now that Elephant has taken this series over from Madhead, I thought it might be a nice change. The first thing that turned me off immediately was the awful VO for Mistress Eve. You have some young girl, trying to do a voice and accent of a Caribbean native and the result is grating to say the least. If it was only at the beginning, it would have been tolerable, but not over and over. I uninstalled after about 1.5 hrs. BFG needs to expand its VO actors outside of employees of the company.
I don't recommend this game.

My favorite remaining BFG adventure developer returns. Cheers to one developer that has bucked the BF trend of ever decreasing quality. This game is outstanding, as all of their games are. I just wish more of the other developers would go back to producing higher end graphics and better quality. Great job once again, 5-BN!
I recommend this game!

Judging from some of the reviews and my experiences with some recent Elephant games, i wasn't expecting to like this game. As it turns out, I do like it. Elephant developers know how to do great graphics. It's BFGs decision to make graphics cartoonish so that they play or more PCs that's the real issue these days. At some point, if you want great looking games and a trouble-free playing, you have to upgrade your system. All that aside, I do recommend this game. It's much better than most of the recent offerings for adventure games.
I recommend this game!
