Based on demo only. I was so looking forward to a great who done it game but this one is not the one. To me it was slow moving and at times somewhat boring. I truly dislike the "insert" HO's. I fail to see the purpose of these.Why not use the entire screen? Isn't that why we have large screens? There is quite a bit of back and forth and I actually had to use the map more than I have in any other game just to know where I should go next. Nothing really jumped out at me to say Oh, this is what I need to do next. Most of the inventory items are small and each is in their own little circle. Again, why?
The graphics are okay but nothing special. I would really like to know what all happens in the game but I just cannot buy this one.
I will recommend it because it is not a horrible game. It is just not for me. Try the demo and see what you think.

Oh My. What to say about this game. There is no thinking as to what to do next because you can only do one thing at a time. You cannot even look into the scene around you because it will not allow you to. As for the tasks needed they are the same. You are only allowed to do that one task, No looking around or enjoying the scenery, Just do what they allow you to and move on. I only played 30 minutes of the demo which is sad. What a fabulous game this could have been. The colors are brilliant as are some of the puzzles and HO's. Many have new twists to them and I certainly would have enjoyed further exploration but no can do. 4 Friends should have stayed 4 Friends...they were at the top of their game but not now. Try the demo and see what you think.
I don't recommend this game.

In my opinion the best part of this game are the graphics. They definitely paid attention to details. The story line has so much potential but does not follow throughout the game. To me it was boring and slow when actually it could have been riveting with just a faster pace and not so many tedious unnecessary "mini-games" or what the dev must think are mini puzzles.Mad Head Games must have gone under some type of change because they were also the #1 dev with new and breaking the typical mold that other devs settled for. Now Mad head is during the same thing. It is with sorrow that I cannot recommend this game, but give it a try perhaps you will like it.
I don't recommend this game.

I am very disappointed in this game. I did Beta test this game and I do not remember it being this boring or the long winded talking. For all the information she gives us she might as well just say blah,blah,blah. In my opinion the graphics are poor as is the entire game. I only lasted 30 minutes on the Demo and I had enough. The story line is very weak and there is not much of a challenge to the HO's and puzzles. But as everyone's taste and opinions are different, try the game and see what you think!
I don't recommend this game.

4 Friends has been a favorite of mine until recently. To me it seems as though they have come to rely on the tried and true instead of changing things up. I liked the story line. It is quite different from the Cinderella story we grew up with but I feel they have put some thought into the story. The graphics are excellent as they have been with this Dev. The level of challenge for me is too easy. Not much to really think about for the HO's and Puzzles.One thing I really do not like is the "Must Do" match 3 in order to progress in the game. We have definitely been there and done that many, many times with this Dev. If by chance they read this please think about mixing things up or come up with a new anything. I like the game and will purchase it with free credits. I am sure most of you will also like it. Try the demo and you will understand about the Must Do Match 3.
I recommend this game!

This is such a fun game. It has it all. Pirates, mystery, and intrigue. There is much to do. Finding Fish in each scene which are not really difficult to find plus morphing objects. I like that they have a slide slot on the edge to let you know how many. The graphics are good as always with 4 Friends.I beta tested this game and had fun then and had fun playing the demo. This is a buy for me. There is a gadget but it goes with this series and it gives you background story as well as saving you life several times.The helper is adorable especially at the beginning when he gives you a BIG doggie kiss! Try this. I am sure you will like it. The puzzles are good and offer easy or hard mode....as I said...This game has it all.
I recommend this game!

I have only played the demo so far. But I am going to purchase this game based on the puzzles. I love puzzles and this game has some really good and different ones that I have not seen in other games. I am not real fond of the HOs only because most of the items are so small and dark. But that adds to the ambience of this game. I can't say that I am thrilled with the story line. It is alright but not one to hold my interest. Try the demo and see if you too love the puzzles.
I recommend this game!

Obviously somewhere along the way Elephant Games got lost and confused. The title clearly states Chimeras, yet what they give us is one eyed stupid looking bats! I really had a hard time not laughing when they would pop up on the screen.The premise of the game could have been good (without the bats of course) but it somehow seemed to fall a little flat. I think this could have been a stand alone game as a who done it. The graphics were just okay in my opinion, which I know the Dev is more than capable of doing much better. The Hos were good as were most of the puzzles. A few (Demo only) I had to think about before being able to solve them. I suggest you try the Demo lst..As much as I would like to know what happens- this is not a buy for me.
I don't recommend this game.

In my opinion Domini Games has almost hit bottom with this game. What were they thinking and why? I have nothing to recommend this game except the colors are beautiful and the graphics are very well done. The story line is awful and the puzzles were too easy even on the hard mode and I am only an intermediate player. Please play the demo before you buy.
I don't recommend this game.

Wow, I truly am having fun playing this game. Since I am an intermediate player, it is somewhat challenging for me...BUT.. that makes it all the better as far as I am concerned. The scenes are beautiful and extremely well done. The graphics are good. I have had a problem with it freezing a few times, but if I escaped and or restarted my computer the game picked up where I left off with no problems what so ever and I really really want to continue on. This is puzzle game mostly with a few mini HO's. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys puzzles. The further you are in the game the better it becomes. Give it a try
I recommend this game!
