Lots of HOS scenes which I like and an interesting story line of Dracula and Van Helsing off to find Mina Harker. However, entirely too many mini games which for the most part were annoying and I skipped over.
I recommend this game!

This game has beautiful graphics which always hooks me into buying a game. However, there is not really a lot of instruction on this telling you what to do - some screens a mystery. Not to sound vague but the game to me is vague and haven't played to the end yet. May or may not; something to work at when bored with everything else I own and no new games out of interest.
I don't recommend this game.

I love the Hercules games and own all of them. So far this is my favorite because of the different twists - Hercules' evil twin, fire hydrants, a submarine (?) which makes it fun. Seems to go faster and the resources load faster than the other three.
Only thing - this plays exactly the same as the others with the exception of the above so don't know why this was sold as a "collector's addition." But then seems like anymore anything worth buying is either a collector's edition or you have to buy the strategy guide.
Come on BF give us a break on this!

Don't see why you would need a strategy guide on this - if you've played similar games you know how to work your way around. Graphics are good, hint button fills in fast and holds your interest.
Didn't like: A lot of the music was awful but you can eliminate that. Was hoping for more dinosaurs.
But overall a game to help pass the time and a big change from the usual gloomy offerings.
I recommend this game!

Bought this because I was bored with my other games and was tired of "doom and gloom." Thought it was probably for kids but not really - have to do some thinking and planning on your moves and the mini games were fun - hidden objects were VERY hidden and was frustrating at times trying to find them but there's a fast hint button and finally got through it. Had to restart the matching pairs games more than once but enjoyed that challenge.
Only thing I didn't like was at the end of the game the town lost some of its charm - too crowded.
I recommend this game!

Of course HOGS but a bit harder than usual and this time you don't have to go blind trying to find the butterflies and question marks for hints - hint icon there but you get trashed on dollars if you click on a wrong object. Just wish for once they would do a Gardenscape where you decorate the entire house!
I recommend this game!

Hate to disagree with my fellow fishies. On the order of Paradise Quest with the moving screens but unlike Paradise Quest this is the most boring and monotonous game I've ever played. Spend boocoo time moving around the board trying to find things with chorus of choir music in the background - finally just deleted it out which I've never done with a game before.
Buyer beware!
I don't recommend this game.

And the only reason I bought it was bored with gloomy this and that and nothing fun these days. I have to admit usually only get one star (but am sure I'll get more when I play it again) but never worry about that if I enjoy the game.
Come on BF - more like this!

Surprised I didn't see this out around Christmas - usual match to earn money to decorate the outside but harder and harder as you get along and some levels are hair pulling. But if you like a challenge go for it!

Similar to the other games except his wife takes over now - this one seems to move faster than the other two which makes it more fun to play rather than plodding along. Only dislike is the voiceover - that guy drives me nuts so skip it fast. Hope they come out with another one!
I recommend this game!
