The game ran fine on my PC, no problems. Voice overs are decent, music did not quite fit the game play. This is basically the same game I have played before. There is nothing really new and the story line was feeble. I am sorry Devs but I really think it is, the story did not flow well and was disjointed. I was bored half way through but decided to push myself and finish it because I bought it. I am getting very leery of the multiple 5 Star reviews off the bat, you play and fine out you were duped as it is more of a 3 star game. I can at least end this on an up note, the game was not too tweeny and you don't have some silly baby animal helper.
I don't recommend this game.

Puzzles were super easy. Story is the usual, Mother saves daughter from fate worse than death. These stories are getting repetitive. Game play is very simple and a touch tedious. Voice overs are good and professional. Graphics are well done. The game is on a very easy level and would be good for novice players. Not for the expert player, you're going to get bored. Game loaded and played fine on my PC.
I don't recommend this game.

With all the long in depth rave reviews by other players, I thought this was going to be worth a try. I found it very easy and boring. Give the demo a try. I did not have any problems loading it and there were no glitches that I came across.
I don't recommend this game.

Ok , this game is not my cup of tea. I am surprised at all the raving reviews. First, I am not 9 years old. Second, having the animal "helper" is getting old. I think this game is good for children, but if you are an adult and play a lot of HOG's I have the feeling it's going to be boring for you too. I thought the graphics were fine, music was good, but the voice overs are so baby-ish I wanted to turn off the volume. The puzzles and game play were very easy, and I played on hard mode. The game loaded and played fine on my PC. No Glitches. I think Big fish needs to begin labeling these games into Adult and Children categories with easy, intermediate and hard listings.

I liked the other Road trip games but this one bites the dust. Confusing, gets boring, you spend more time upgrading than playing hidden object scenes. All around bad.
I don't recommend this game.

My review is going to be like the game...short and sweet.( Ok short and scary ) Creepy, scary and chilling! I did not give the game 5 stars because of it's length. The game does require you to think at times, puzzles were on the easy side though. Great music, loved the graphics, mature/adult play and themes for a change...but very short even when adding the bonus round. Some grammar and spelling errors and a few mixed up names. Ran fine on my PC, no glitches. Other than short this is yet another game that leaves you hanging at the end. You have to buy part two that will be out later this year to finish it. Getting bummed about games doing this now days.
I recommend this game!

Graphics, Graphics, Graphics! Hey did I tell you about the graphics, they were great! Clean with textures, depth, crisp, lovely light and shadows and very detailed. I have missed these kinds of graphics, most new games now days are flat and overly glossy .Voice overs are pro and the music works perfectly with the game, it's not distracting or annoying. The game itself is not very difficult -I played on hard mode - but it is very engaging and keeps moving. You have morphing objects to find with a purpose this time ( to keep you warm ). You also have to locate frog cards.Yes, I did say frog cards. My only problem with this game is it is Very short even after you add the bonus level. I do wish the game had been a bit more complex, but I don't want to sound too negative as I really enjoyed it. I played this on my PC and the game ran fine with no problems.
I recommend this game!

Beautiful graphics, lovely music. The game is so easy. Many screens only have one task. Puzzles are on a level for young players. (Nothing wrong with that but I wish they would start labeling games somehow as to skill levels). The story is ....well....boring. The game ran fine on my PC, no glitches or problems.

Based on demo
Review is more for expert players
Other people seemed to like the game, but I have to disagree. Since many people have left long reviews I am keeping this one short.
If you have played more than 50 games, you have played this one. Game play is boring, same old same old. The graphics are good, clear and textured. Music is actually pleasant....but it's just the same game I played last week and the week before. You are not going to have to do much thinking here. It's very easy. Game ran fine on my PC.Give the demo a try, but I think this is more for novice players.

This is a wonderful Elephant game....but It's an
ELEPHANT GAME WITH A MADAME FATE RESIDUE
So many people have already listed the pros and cons of this game. I will try to be short with my review. I played on Monstrously Tough (hard) mode. It could be challenging. The door puzzles are similar to those in Ravenhearst.
Game is different, long and has original ideas and puzzles...but the storyline is just not up to 5 stars. I like this game! I really did but I was disappointed with the graphics. They are crisp, clean and flat. Gone are the lovely textured scenes, gone is the wonderful "feeling" that Madame Fate had. That game really did give you a seedy carnival world to go into. Also,the terrific creepy music is missing from this game.
Good game but if you think you will get the feeling of Madame Fate, your not.
I recommend this game!
