I bought this game and immediately regretted it. Cartoon graphics, poor storyline, and zero engagement. One of the most boring games I've played in a long time. Madhead keeps sinking lower and lower in terms of quality. I highly recommend a trial before buying.
Something pushed me to give this a game a try, so I bought it. I was very hesitant because I'm not much of an Eipix fan. I'm about 1/2 through it and I really like it so far. Bravo on the non-standard start to the game also! That was thinking outside of the box. The mood and pace so far has kept my interest. My only gripe is that most of the graphics are very grainy and fuzzy. I suspect this is due to compression after production to reduce the game size. I REALLY wish they would cease doing this. Other than that, I will give a rare Eipix recommendation.
While I like this series, I was very disappointed in this game. The graphics quality was awful and nearly unplayable. I don't know why Eipix continues to make the graphics in their games worse and worse. Is it to make the download size smaller? That's a ridiculous reason. Beyond the graphics, this game was further killed by the cheesy puzzles and often ridiculous, logic-fail, tasks. ( I never knew that I could make a stone object float)
While the story and other things are at least "OK", the logic fails were so ridiculous that I had a hard time playing the game. This game completely insults the intelligence of the player. This is my biggest gripe on BFG these days. Is it that hard for developers to create tasks that you might actually do in the REAL WORLD? You've got a lighter filter and you've got gas. Rather than pour the gas on the filter, you tie a string around it, find a way to open a jerry can of gas and then dip the wick in the jerry can. This is just one of many insane tasks in this game.
I bought this game thinking I was gonna kick myself for doing so. It's been so long since I liked anything done by Eipix. I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed it. The dull/dark graphics fit the mood, although they still could have been done better. (I still don't understand why Eipix feels the need to make their download size so small at the expense of better graphics - so I knocked off a star for that reason.)
I found the puzzles sufficiently challenging and the game held my attention. So many Eipix games start with a bang and then I forget the story line as things bog down in one puzzle after another. Thankfully, that didn't happen with this game.
All this said, I will RECOMMEND the game this time around. As always, I suggest a trial before purchasing.
This is hands down the worst game that Elephant has ever published. I honestly found it hard to play it was so badly done. The voice overs where horrible. The graphics were laughable. Nothing was hidden in the hidden object scenes. Logic was completely absent. I highly suggest you give this a trial before buying it.
I want to send a special thank you to the developers at 5-BN. You guys remember the quality of the games that BFG had when back in the days that it developed many of its own games. From the opening sequence I was smiling with the quality of the game graphics. The puzzles were of a good difficulty level and the story was fantastic and engaging. I would give this game 10 stars if I could!
I bought this game without trialing it because I enjoyed past year's games in this series. Big mistake and I won't do that again. The voice-overs, the graphics, the story were all just really badly done. If you haven't yet decided to buy it, I highly DO suggest you trial it first so that you don't repeat my mistake. Brave Giant...you can do MUCH better than this!
There is very little good I can say about this game. Same tired old basic story. Kindergarten handholding. A series that needs to be retired. About the only good thing was the graphics but even with that I only last 10 mins before uninstalling the trial. If you buy without trialing, well, you were warned by many reviewers.
I don't like giving bad reviews to smaller developers because I hope to see them improve. However, this just doesn't cut it. The graphics need a vast improvement and the story needs a re-write. Even more disheartening is to see the "Editor's Choice" designation. I won't be buying this and I do suggest that you trial it before buying.
