Okay, once again we have the dev cutting back on what makes a CE. No morphing objects is a huge negative for me. Also, the collectables stand out so you truly cannot miss them. The graphics are good. The voice overs are okay. Somewhat of a monotone but I can overlook that if the story line is good and this one seems to be, but based on the Demo I really can not say for certain because it does not delve into it because of all of the puzzles and HOs. You do have the strategy guide and achievements but this game just seems to be lacking in the "Grab You-and I have to find out what happens" department. I for one will wait until it is on sale because I do not feel it is even worth 2 credits. Try the Demo and see what you think....I actually like Rick if we could only find him!
I recommend this game!

It is so sad that I could not even make it through the Demo.
I have already done all of these tasks in each of their games almost in the exact same order. Nothing changes in the games they have been spinning out. I say spinning because they just put the same games out there with a few changes and think that the gamers will be satisfied. Well, I am not. I have been playing my older games which include Domini games that back then were great. Please try the demo before you buy. Big Fish do something soon or you will be at the bottom of the gamers pond.

As most have stated this is an old school type game which makes it all the better. This is a game you can take your time with and enjoy the beautiful scenery and pick up items in your adventure and play the Frog HO's. I have to admit I was never a fan of FROGS but this game changed my mind. It is actually fun to find the fragments in the HOs. The puzzles are also very well done and not overly hard. Some take a bit of thinking and figuring out but the challenge is perfect for me. Try this GEM of a game and see what you think. I love it!

Perhaps it is time to give Living Legends a rest. These games have become repetitive and boring. I own most of them and I have enjoyed them but now they are just a repeat of prior games with a different story line. This game has quite a bit of reading and long dialogues which moves the story along slowly. The graphics are excellent as always with this dev. There are of course morphs and collectables which is fun but again the story moves forward slowly. Try the demo before you buy. I will recommend this game as some will find it interesting and fun especially if you have not played many of the games in this series.
I recommend this game!

My review is based on 45 minutes of the demo which was all I could manage to eke through. The graphics are poor and the cut scenes are black outs. This seems to be an older game and not one of the better ones. The pace of the game was slow and the story line was okay but moved along very slowly as well. The morphs were excellent, the collectables were good but once again we have notes to find. The game is heavy on puzzles and light on HO's. Definitely try this before buying.
I don't recommend this game.
In The Wild Case, go on a first-person point-and-click adventure and explore a remote village located deep within a mysterious forest.

For those of you who have never played a point and click game I would recommend Pennmom's review. She explains the ins and outs of the game beautifully. The game makes you use your brain and deduction abilities, which I love. It does have an old time feel to it which adds so much more to the story. I deducted one star from my rating only because the characters do not talk. It is all reading the dialogue....which is okay...but had they had they added that feature..I would have given it a 5 star rating. The challenge level for me was excellent as I am only an intermediate player. But I love the challenge of trying to figure the next step. Give this game a try, but take your time, THINK, and then act. This game is so much fun.
I recommend this game!

This is a game worth purchasing. The story line is good and holds your interest. Some of the mini games are challenging while others are rather easy but that just adds to the game. One challenge I have is remembering where everything is when I have an object in my inventory to use. The map is a jump map but the areas you have things to do is vast. I almost felt like I should write down where is what and what is where, but it is more fun to just try to track it down. The graphics are mostly good but at times, yes, they are a bit clunky but I can overlook that as it is not often. Also look at everything and click on it to see if you need to do something. Surprisingly, most places you do. This is what we gamers have been asking for including collectables and morphs. Well done TellTale. Give this a try and be pleasantly surprised.
I recommend this game!

This game has the gamer doing small repetitive tasks over and over. I actually got an achievement for GLUING a vinyl record back together and pushing it in to a slot in the juke box. Who does that? There is no fun in playing this game as you are back and forth multiple, multiple times. The HOs are okay but again they have the Huge red X-what is the purpose of that? The puzzles are super easy even in the hard mode. I do believe that Domini just does not care what the gamers want. They just want to crank out games and hope someone will purchase them. I for one have been playing my older games as Big Fish's pond of games has slim pickings. Try the game and see for yourself.
I don't recommend this game.

I have to say give this game a try if only to see the end results of the mosaics. I actually had to laugh at some of them. The game play is very easy. I crossed off a row at a time and still there was very little challenge. There are power-ups and the usual fill-ins etc. but to me they were not necessary unless once past the demo the puzzles get harder. For as beautiful as the opening scene is the mosaics are to say the least laughable. Just give it a try and have a good time. (laugh) I will recommend this game just so you will try the demo and decide for yourself.
I recommend this game!

Which in my opinion playing tic tac tow would be more exciting. There are too many menial tasks to do which makes this game too drawn out and boring. Also, once again we have tokens to collect to furnish whatever it is in each of Domini's games they decide to have us furnish. There is a lot of talking which I feel was long and drawn out also.
Living in Pittsburgh I was excited to see a game take place in this great city. Alas though, Since I only made it 1/2 through the demo, I did not see any familiar buildings or landmarks.
The collectables are the usual for Domini so nothing new there either. Try it and see what you think.
