Reminded me of the older games which I much prefer to the dull and boring stuff being churned out everyday.!

This was a good game lots of things to do. Tons of puzzles and HOS's, storyline was interesting. There was some back and forth that got to be tedious but a really good game. I spent 5 hours start to finish. Lot's of items to collect. I prefer fantasy to the extremely boring detective games set in more modern day - which make me fall asleep. Why in heavens name would I want to see the same stuff I see around me every day, often using the same tools which I have to re-find almost every scene. Give me fantasy any day over that garbage. The graphics were beautiful. The voice over's were great. Fun game. Kept my interest through out.
I recommend this game!

I liked the game because I just love this developers engineering and format. The puzzles and HOPA's are constant which keep these games a go to for me. Two issues though; a few of the puzzles had various solutions but because I didn't have the strategy guide way it would not complete - that is really lazy engineering - very disturbed about that and I was really not happy with the voice overs, talk about dead, no life, no excitement, no anything. You could tell they were reading from a script. The storyline was ok but there was so much that could have been done to breath LIFE into the game. It was really lifeless. All the games like this: Lost Lands Series, The Legacy Series, New York Mysteries Series, House of a Thousand Doors are my all time favorite games. But if I had to choose one series it would be Lost Lands. I became very attached to those characters much like I do in a book. I would love to see more of those. I even have an idea for the devs. There's a book series called 'Gryphon Riders' by Derek Alan Siddoway. A ton of material for a great game and a new series!! There's stories out there that can be gleaned for ideas for great games. Start charging more if that's what it takes for more great games like the Lost Lands series and those like it. I'm certain that players like myself are willing to pay more for great games that have lifelong replay-ability. PLEASE!!!
I recommend this game!

Game won't even download, gets to validating and then poof, error message. I rebooted my computer and checked my Norton AntiVirus program to see if it was blocking but nope, all systems go. Get it together Big Fish, you're really letting yourself go.

Wow, can someone tell me why a developer feels the need to drastically change an already great game formula?

This game was not fun. Way to much neon color, the moving arrow was far too challenging for me and I played on normal with limited moves like I usually do. I like some challenge but this was way over the top. I could not get the token out of the barred area without using a ton of mana to bomb it. And one starfish area was impossible to win. I haven't finished the game and not sure I will. I feel frustrated most of the time. I prefer a game that is fun and entertaining with some challenge this was too much everything. And those stupid spinning bombs what a waste of effort those are. The bombs I find useless most of the time but those were even more frustrating and useless than the usual bombs. And now everything takes up the whole screen, it's in your face and I don't like in my face at the best of times. Good thing it was on sale cause I'd ask for a refund. Not happy at all with this one Suricate, not happy AT ALL. If you like really difficult odds on beating a level this is your game.

What a fantastic game!! It was so much fun collecting the beautiful fish. The games for the caves were a bit challenging but fun. I was forced to do different solitaire styles and I'm glad I had too cause I found more I like. The extra levels (chests) were really challenging and I tried to do as many as I could but some I had to give up on. I felt there could have been at least 4 to 6 more caves cause I could have collected fish until the end. So was kind of disappointed that they ended before the end of the bonus section. But holy moly so many levels!! I played for at least 5 days, loved every minute and could have played longer. The last 2 castles in the bonus section didn't make sense for under water, waaayyy to much brick. But the last was lovely. The water was clearer and the buildings were much easier to see the detail in than the last Atlantis. I would often just watch the fish swimming for 5 or 10 minutes. I used to own a 130 gallon tank and had all kinds of beautiful fish, my fav being the African Cichlids which the long yellow and orange fish reminded me of. I miss that tank. The fave fish in this game were all the rainbow colored ones, especially the little yellow, green and pink one with white polka dots on the bump on it's head. Some mimicked a few of the bright colored small saltwater fish, those are much more challenging to keep in captivity in reality. love the Jewel Match games, all of them, we need more, I could do these for a long time. Time for a jewel one tho. Keep these coming Suricate!!
I recommend this game!

I really enjoy this developers M3 games, my only complaint is that they are too short, and usually last me only 3 or 4 days of play. LOL ya I'm a little greedy, ok maybe a lot. I always find them challenging but not too much. It often takes me 3 or 4 replays to get through at least half of the levels. But I don't mind replaying. I much prefer the extra solitaire, hidden object and getting the bug through the maze - FAR MORE ENJOYABLE - than the Mahjong. Thank you for that. I didn't care for the final house though, it was shades of green. I like it when they are more colorful and the sun is shining. I always use Limited Moves cause I find that more challenging and more time to strategize my moves. They are always a great deal of fun to play....please more of these. I used a credit this time but I would pay full price for these games and pretty much anything from this developer.
I recommend this game!

I am so tired of searching for items that I already had over and over again and again. The games are all the same, same story line, same never ending search for the same items, same boring everything. I had a hammer to remove nails from a birdhouse but nope I couldn't use the hammer, I had to use a metal plate!!???
??? The storyline doesn't even make sense. All the evidence that showed dear old mayor Daddy as the murderous culprit and the female detective wasn't sure Daddy did it. Scraping the bottom of the barrel for these stories developer! If it wasn't for the fact that I love playing my old games and still like some of the match 3 games I would have opted out of BFG long ago. Don't waste your money on this one.

I can see exactly where this game is heading - straight to another Emerland never ending money pit like the last one. The only way you will ever get 3 stars per game is if you use lots of mana/energy. I played the full game and 'extra chapter' using my mana sparingly and could only get 2 stars at the most without using the mana for the most part. I didn't realize until my 2nd time around that the seemingly unlimited undo's were actually costing me 5 mana after the first use. I completed the game and the final chapter by using about 6000 mana and started at the beginning to try and get 3 stars for each level. I had 5000 mana and it took me as far as level 175 out of the 240 levels before I ran out. That's including at least another 3000 mana accumulated during the 2nd round. Also, I had to play levels over sometimes 3 or 4 times just to get the 2 stars without dipping into the mana. Completing the chapter will not get you stars, you have to make strings of at least 12 to 15 cards to get to the half full mark of the 3rd star and can only beat the level with 3 stars if you have at least 2 or more cards left over. Most of the time it cost me 150 mana because I would have to use at least 3 of the helpers and they cost 50 mana each. And you only make a max of 50 mana if you get all 3 stars, 25 for 2 stars, 10 for 1 star and zero for no stars. The Wizard is quite the character because he doesn't even deign you with a look if you get no stars, a stink eye if you only get 1 star, a nod and a half smile for 2 stars and 3 nods and a full on smile for 3 stars. Although, his remarks were kind his demeaner was haughty. It was an ok game at first extremely frustrating because beating a level is what it's all about for me and the game was made so that it was extremely difficult if not impossible to beat the levels with 3 stars. Which is where I came to the conclusion that it will be made a pay as you go game so you can beat the levels albeit paying a ton of money to do so. Not my thing, so count me out. I have zero tolerance for money grabbing never ending games. The extra chapter was just 75 extra levels with no battles and was not part of the original story/game - just a weird addon. it was decent play but would wait for a sale to purchase.
I recommend this game!

Please make more of these match 3 games!! They are so entertaining and play lasts for daaaayyyys!!! I love the challenge the newer games give. The building of the castles are so much fun. I can't wait to see the end results. The bonus games need some graphics tweaking however. One of the puzzles was missing a piece. The Jewel Match, Jewel Match Solitaire and Jewel Match Twilight games are some of the few games that I happily spend the full price for.
I recommend this game!

Loved the transportation cells, such a blast! The story was quite funny too. Had just the right amount of challenge for me. I only have one complaint... I absolutely detest Mahjong! I've skipped every single one starting from Game 5. I find them tedious and boring. Thank you for the awesome bonus games too, I really disliked the 'match the computer player' ones. it took forever for the opponent to make their move that I just didn't bother after the first bonus game in every other Lauraville. I only became interested in Laruaville from game 5 on because the others gameplay was just too boring for me. I highly recommend this game, worth every penny.
