The game is a basic HOG, pretty simple and straight forward all the way through. Not much challenge.
It was smooth flowing,good graphics.
Missing excitement, intrigue.
So, it was ok, great game to start with.
Cannot recommend, or not recommend!

I did enjoy this game, but , it was only OK.
Great graphics, easy HOS, puzzles were good and not to challenging( a couple took a little time).
There are alot of cutout scenes but that was ok.
Small world all in all, It does take you a bit back and forth, but just a normal amount(in my opinion).
I did enjoy the game though, but it was just OK
I recommend this game!

I play many HOGs, This is by far the best one. I do not think I have seen many games get 5 stars from so many people.
Great graphics, many puzzles(which are basic and enjoyable).,HOSs are not too hard, and smooth playing.
Extra play at end of game.
Also, watch the How they made it option, interesting,funny and short.--Just buy it, you will not be disappointed.
I recommend this game!

I love these Carol Reed games, but I think I started with the most recent ones and went backwards.
So, Just letting you know that These are GREAT GAMES to play, fun, challenging and different in a good way. Also great scenery.
I did not like this one just because of the poor graphics, newer versions are much,much better.

First I have to say that I only played about 20 min. of the trial.
I just couldn't get into this game. Slow going and rather boring, something missing.
Good game for a beginner to play.
Cannot recommend this game due to no excitement and to slow moving.
I don't recommend this game.

This game is full of surprises. Many new ways of doing things.
The game goes smoothly throughout. It lets you get so far, then you have to complete many actions to get to next level, but once past the level, you still have to utilize the entire game you passed. They did that very well though.
Games were pleasant, not to difficult and just regular puzzle games.
I loved this game, Right after this I am getting another of this title.
Try this game, if for nothing else then seeing something different...
I recommend this game!

I too love the show Criminal Minds!!
I give two thumbs up to someone trying to put a different spin on HOGs.
It was fun and I did enjoy it alot.
Does keep you involved and you know your goal. If you get lost they show you your tasks, and if your really lost they show you through it with details.
They put scrambled words for clues in the HO scenes.
Most of the game was pretty basic and straight forward, with a couple of hard to find objects to continue on your way.
Was a little short lived for me. But, the right price.
All in all I have to recommend this game for being different, and enjoyable.
I recommend this game!

I did not enjoy this game to much. I cannot put my finger on it, but it seemed to lack energy or something like that.
I just wanted to finish it, and move on.(rare for me)
NOT worth the CollectersEdition price for sure.
I enjoy acheivement awards for the games, but these were just basic, awards for just playing.
I thought there were extra puzzles if you complete the game,(which I love), but they were the puzzles from the game, nothing new.
I don't recommend this game.

This is my kind of game--I loved this game, it took a quite a bit of time and alot of thought. Usually these type games are priced higher, so great play for the price.
The first reviewer said most of it.
Most of the puzzles are not too complex,but do require thought. There are some that require a little more thought.
Mild spoiler, hardest part is in the library and the different ingredients to make what you need.Also, do not forget to combine objects to make new objects-You could miss details of your next move,
Story line was great, never forgot what the purpose of your actions were.
Once again, loved it!!
I recommend this game!

I enjoyed this game, was not too short. The chapters are fun, alot of the puzzles are pretty good, and then they threw in some that needed alittle more thought.
I like it when they give you extra/bonus play, this game has neither.
Would recommend this one, oh yeah -good story line.Enjoy!!
