Nicely drawn straight HOG game. Maybe I've been spoiled by all the later IHOG and adventure HOG games, but I quickly tired of this. Mini-games were way too easy as well. But this would probably a nice way to spend some time with a child so it isn't all bad. Just not for me.
I don't recommend this game.

This was just way too simplistic for me. The HO scenes are interactive. The mini puzzles are extremely simple. A few "find the differences" puzzles (which I really don't like). So for someone who has played a lot of HO games from BFG, I think you might think this was boring and too easy. For beginners, and particularly playing with children, probably a good one
I don't recommend this game.

Decent game with good art. Mini games are infrequent and nothing new. But my big problem is the length of the game. Without skips or hints, I was half way through Chapter 5 during the demo and there are only 7 chapters.
So I'm not interested in throwing money at such a shortie, even if it were a DD.
I don't recommend this game.

This is nothing to get excited about. A straight hog drawn in cartoon form. The HOG scenes were way too bright so items tended to merge into whatever background they were on. Yes I could have adjusted my screen, but you shouldn't have to do that. Nothing redeeming or fun here at all. Way better games out there. No mini-games either.
I don't recommend this game.

Quite an easy game with easy to find objects in the HO scenes and fairly easy puzzles. So for either a beginner or when you just want to coast through a game. It was quite short. I got through Chapter 4 of 7 in my hour without cheats.
I recommend this game!

I found the graphics really poor using a new widescreen monitor at high resolution. The objects are quite tiny and difficult to find. Just HO screen after HO screen.
Dated and boring
I don't recommend this game.

So this is a story we haven't seen 100 times before. But the graphics are muddled, the objects extremely indistinct and had to make frequent use of the hint button. The poor HO scenes made me quit after about 15 minutes.
I don't recommend this game.

Too much talking, lacking direction, factual errors. Flynn and Fairbanks are turning in their graves.
If you need a game bad enough to try this, go with Freecell instead.
I don't recommend this game.

While this series does offer some good artwork and atypical puzzles, they're really short. Without using hints or skips, I was inside the theater in 45 minutes. That's less than a 2 hour game for me. So no buy on this one.
I don't recommend this game.

Very small, impossible to find objects. Even after the hint shows you where it is, you still can't find it. Nothing redeeming about this game at all.
I don't recommend this game.
