I read the other reviews and was undecided whether to run the trial or not.
However, as you may have guessed, I tried it and although it's not the best game in the world it is playable and fun in a quirky kind of way.
Some people will hate it, others will like the relaxed fun part of the game. It has minigames, HOS and puzzles within a loosly connecting story tied to the TV show premis. It is not really challenging but it is fun.
There is no voiceover and the characters do not move except in a bizarre gliding in and out motion. Some of the plot is almost laughable but that is in keeping with the TV show.
Don't expect logic or cerebral challenges in this game but a fun, varied time-waster, it definitely is.

I recommend this game!

When other jigsaw puzzles exist (try Jigsaw Galore) that enable you to play by converting wallpaper and other pictures in jigsaws, why does this game exist?
Yes , it has rotation which puts a little extra difficulty in but other wise it's too weak to be worth anyone paying for it.
Limited puzzles, limited subjects, limited appeal.
Not recommended.
I don't recommend this game.

Hmm - I read the other reviews and thnouht I'd give it a try - just in case...
But - I cannot recommend this game and I don't know why it's promoted by BFG so much
Yes, it's timed in the first visit to any location (past or present# then once you've got past that, there are twenty #20# other items to find in each location #past and present)- this section is untimed.
However, you need the hint as a lot as the objects are either VERY small or show about 10% behind something else.
Too many times, I used the hint as I couldn't find the object - to explain "oh, how did I miss that?" when the hint reveals its location. Then to realise that once the reveal dies away and I have to click on the object, I cannot see it again! Oh, look a tiny portion is pokeing out behind something else. How on earth am I supposed to recognise something from just a tiny portion and then click on it? It's so small I miss three times. Also, scenario, find 4 birds.... ok found three easily - small penguin in middle of screen - click on it - not a bird.... really? Then black camera - 3 on screen guess which one is black - they all are but only one is right!!!
Frustrating game - objects too well hidden and in the end I just didn't care about the game enough to pay for it

People with smaller screen or lower spec graphics card - you've got no chance!
Not recommended for anyone!

Ok - after the mixed reviews , I had to try it out and I've bought the full game.
I liked the other Snark titles too and this is different and the HO system has changed but I still found this enjoyable and a good challenge.
Despite the comparison to the previous two games, I would still recommend this game. As a stand-alone game it works quite well and it may prompt some users to seek out the previous two offerings. As a sequel, maybe not so good; other reviewers are correct, they have changed too much and lost some of the fascination about the original two games.
I recommend with reservations if you have played the previous two and liked them a lot!
I recommend this game!

but no! Just play the levels, gain lots of resources and nothing! You just move onto the next portion of a nodescript map! Sorry, there is no incentive to keep playing this - it is just boring. Even the map is vague brown and unexciting.
Where is the animation? The storyline? The interest?
You start off with a very vague premise and go downhill rapidly in terms of the story.
So - a rather badly done game - do not recommend it at all.
Save your money!!!
I don't recommend this game.

Oh dear! - Now authors are offering pseudo-advice in the form of a game.
Found the challenge quite difficult rather quickly on some of the games and you couldn't pick and choose; so I didn't complete the Chapter 1 challenge.
The cod therapy advice I found extremely annoying.

Sorry not for me- too frustrating to bother spending money on this.

The graphics look ok but finding some objects is rather frustrating. You have to click exactly right on the object else it doesn't find it- with larger objects this is ok but with smaller and thin ones, it just gets annoying.
Storyline is a bit weak in my opinion and instructions are ambiguous on occasion.
All in all, it could have been much better so I cannot recommend this game.
I don't recommend this game.

I find I got sucked into this rather quickly. No it's not a bad thing, it's just difficult to stop playing as it draws you on into the game.
Graphics are good, it is challenging enough to find the HO and the tasks are complicated enough to provide a reasonable challenge to most players.
Music is occasionally spooky with the usual sound effects adding atmosphere to a slightly creepy game.

The hour shot by rather quickly and I'm going to buy this edition. I have the other two anyway - both of which I enjoyed.
I heartily recommend this game.

Ok, I tried this game after I read the review of the person who had got stuck at the manhole cover.
Graphics sort of cartoony but more than adequate
Storyline - interesting- I like a good murder mystery
Characters - can be a bit annoying - hence only 4 stars
Challenge - needs a bit of thinking o/s the box but overall not too challenging. Site revisits are necessary!
Minigames - some are quite tough - need time and patience to solve - but can be skipped after a while.

Thought I would try this out to see if it really was bad and.... yes, it is!
Do not waste any money or credits on this game - it is awful. What you get for your money is a very limited selection of jigsaws with an average interface.
Try jigsaw galore instead - at least you can add your own pics/wallpaper to it- so you can have unlimited jigsaws whenever you want and however you want.
I don't recommend this game.
