I was very happy to see the new BCA game: Shanghai. It is a great game.
I love this series for the very interesting facts about the cities. The Mini Games are very good. The downloads are very small, which i also like. I always try out the games, but i really knew that i would purchase this "Shanghai" game. All the games are now half price, so I am doubly happy.
Hopefully another Vacation Adventures Game will come out very soon, because i like them them as well.

This is a fun game. Casual Arts make the games I enjoy. I have all the Christmas Wonderland Games, as well as the Easter Games. I also really enjoy the Vacation Adventures games.
I am looking forward to more games of Casual Arts. I am also looking forward to more Big City Adventures Games.

The Clutter Series appeals to me because they are Straight HOGS with some clever puzzles. I have all 5 Clutter Games and i like them all. This latest game is a bit more difficult because finding matches is faster. The Clutter Games are excellent value, because you can play them over and over again.
I do NOT like HOPA games at all and most NEW games are HOPA games, which is very disappointing to me..
My favorite Series are: Big City Adventures, Vacation Adventures, Christmas Wonderland and the Clutter Games. These series are almost an Instant BUY.
I am hoping for another Big City Adventure and another Vacation Adventure very soon.
I recommend this game!
Nestled between the mountains and sun-soaked beaches, the vibrant and stylish city of Barcelona awaits you on your next Big City Adventure.

I was eagerly waiting for another Big City Adventure and i was very happy when this new Barcelona game came out. The Big City Adventure Series are almost an instant purchase. I still try them just in case, but i have purchased them all.
I am a fan of STRAIGHT HOGS and this series suits me perfectly. I especially love all the information you get about the various cities. Most of the mini games i also enjoy, I can NOT fault this series and i really hope that they will make MANY MORE Big City Adventures.
As in most BCA games, the objects are sometimes difficult to see, because many objects blend into the background. I have a large computer monitor and even then i sometimes have to use hints. On my laptop it is even more difficult to see, but i consider it a bit of a challenge.

When i saw the NEW B.C.A. Istanbul, I was very happy. The game play is like the others, but i like that. Big City Adventures are my favorite games, because of the Postcards with lots of great information about the buildings in the cities. I like the music of Istanbul.
I will not get all the achievements because some items are hard to find and had to use hints, but that does not matter to me.
I know that i will buy the next BCA game if they are the same type as this and previous games, NOT like "BCA London Story".
My preference is for straight HOGS. Adventure HOGS I don't like.
I recommend this game!
Samba your way to the tropical paradise of Rio de Janiero! Search for thousands of cleverly hidden items and play fun mini-games along the way.

My favorite games are straight HOGS. I love the BCA series, because of all the information on the postcards. The hidden objects are often very well hidden but i like the challenge. I also enjoy most of the Mini Games. It has been one year since BCA Tokyo and i am so glad that finally this BCA Rio de Janeiro came out. I really hope that we do NOT have to wait another year for the next Big City Adventure.
I also love the Mystery PI Series, Amazing Adventures series and Day Dream series. It has been a very long time since the last one of these series. Most NEW games at Big Fish are HOPA games and I do NOT like them at all.
I recommend this game!

I own the First Puzzler World and I like that game. I was very eager to try the NEW Puzzler World, thinking the sequel would be even better, but it is much, much WORSE. It is all VERY confusing, there are NO clear instructions. I also was stuck on the Link-it puzzle with connecting the last 2 numbers: 8 connecting 8. I could NOT get a hint because i did not have any money for a hint. I will not buy this game, as it now is, even for a DD price.
I don't recommend this game.
Embark on an epic journey and relive one of the great works of Chinese literature in this physics based Match 3 puzzle game!

I did NOT like this game at all. Several times i ran out of time and that is in the early stages. There is no level of difficulty and there is the hated TIMER. There are no different bowls to choose from.
Often the sequel is better than the original but this is NOT the case with this game. The original is MUCH BETTER IMHO. You can play the original at various degrees of difficulty, even without timer and also with different shapes of bowls. I love this game.
I would recommend "Jar of Marbles II" for people who love fast paced marble poppers.
The entire world is in danger! Join Seraphine in this amazing adventure and save the world from its doom.

I agree with others that the moving screen spoils this game. Not only is it annoying but sometimes i had trouble finding where i still had to make a match and also to find the lock to put the key in.
With a STATIC screen i would have bought this game straight away. Now i have to think about it.

I did not like the "help" suggestions either, but i ignored them most of the time.
Gather ingredients and manage your budget while preparing gourmet meals in this Hidden Object sizzler.

I normally do not try time management games, but this game has Hidden Objects and there is some purchasing and mixing ingredients. It seemed like good fun. It was NOT!
With CLEAR hidden objects it could have been a very nice game, but as it is, this game is annoying.

I am an Expert in Hidden Objects, but in this game the objects were so BLURRY and TINY, i had trouble finding them and i had to use the hints several times. As a result i ran out of money. I could not use the full screen because you could not click on some items. .
I still have 40 or so minutes left of the Trial, but i will delete this game.
I don't recommend this game.
