The game is quite fun and I really got into it. It was quite a long game, I did not time myself but I know it was at least 6 hours or more of game play plus an extra 40 minutes to hour on the bonus part and I usually finish games fairly fast. I did have to use my hint button a few times which I don’t normally have to do.
Perks of the game…
-the game is very long
-the hint button recharges quite quickly
-the music was good and set the game
-voiceovers were well done
-graphics were beautiful and very nicely done
-there were not a lot or to many HO scenes
-there is a map that allows you to travel and shows you were things of interest are
-finding the little creatures was fun however I found over 100 and still did not find all of them :(
-the puzzles were not too difficult but fun and challenging
-the story line was good and very enjoyable with a great and happy ending thanks to the bonus chapter :)
There are a few cons but they don’t measure up to the pros of the game…
-it was hard to find all the creatures in some areas
-there is a lot of back and forth between scenes and at time for getting were you were or were to go next
-even though there is a map it only lets you travel 2 or 3 times and then it has to recharge before traveling any more
-the bonus features, besides the bonus game play, I found to be kind of lame
So that’s about it I hope this helps ya all Have fun and enjoy:)
Let me start out by saying this game is a waste of money, credits and free coupons. I would not even give it one star but I had to, to be honest I'm not sure its even worth 1/2 a star.The game feels as though it was put together and made by a pre-k student and made in the early 90’s. It took me less than 2 hours to beat the game with few to no hints and no skipping of puzzles. There is no option to choose a level of difficultly so you can’t really challenge yourself and decide what experience you want to play. There was no voiceovers and the talking that did go on went so fast at times you miss half of what is being said. The curser did not always work like it should which made it very difficult to pick up items when you need to, so at times you had to go out of screens then go back in just to get an item you need. The puzzles were good and fun to do but nothing new that we all haven’t seen before. The HO’s were the same throughout the entire game just your standard HO like in ravenhearst except for one. There is a tutorial that you can either play or skip. The hint button does recharge fast (within about 10 seconds). The music was good and did set the mood for the game but it all could have been much better.
In summary This game is a total waste not worth even a penny in my book. With less than 1:30 to 2 hours of game play and how sloppily the game was piece together I am not sure I would even play if it was free. This game was a big flop, a major disappointment if I were BF I wouldn’t even want this game associated with my web site.
I give this game a 3.5 stars. I felt the music did not set the right mood for the game. The voiceovers were just ok but not the best I have seen. I found the game to be a little on the boring side it wasn’t the worse game I ever played but it was far from even my top 20 games. There was a few things I liked, like being able to play mahjong instead of finding objects in the HO scenes however it got repetitive after a while as all HO scenes were the same as were the mahjong. The puzzles were very well done even some new ones I had never seen before and they were not too easy nor were they to hard. The other good part about this game is that it was fairly long as it took me about 5 hours or so but I also couldn’t get very involved in it due to its boring nature which could be why it took me so long,
Altogether I would say it was an ok game but not one I would be running out to get right away nor does it have a reply potential. Although it is a well lengthen game it also was quite boring and really hard to get into. I do recommend but only if there is nothing else to play. I hope this helps to all those BF fans
I very much enjoyed this game but once again I wish the game would have been longer. I felt it to be on the short side as it was about 3-4 hours from start to finish with no skips and only a few hints but felt even shorter than that. The music was nice and match the game well. The story line was great. The HO’s were done very well with different kinds throughout the game, so that was nice. I found the puzzles to be fun and a nice touch.
In summery my only complaint with this game was the length, I felt it could have been longer and I so wanted to keep playing other than that this game is a great buy.
Well this game has good graphics. The sounds are good as are the voiceovers. I like the fact that you can choose your ending that was a very creative idea. The HO’s were good. The game was a little on the short side for me. The puzzles were fun and were not to hard. I thought the story line was well written and I did enjoy it.
Altogether this was an ok game not a top game but none the less not to bad. I would give this a 3.5 stars instead of 4 but mostly due to the length of the game.
So I don’t have a lot to say about this game I found it to be quite disappointing. It was a long game but that is mostly due to all the back tracking and there is tons of it in this game and there is no way of knowing where you need to go or where you need to be. The map does allow you to travel but its not much help if you don’t know where to go next. The puzzles where good and there were two kinds of HO’s throughout the game and tons of them. The story line was good but it didn’t make up for the graphics and set up of the game. I’m sorry to say I would not recommend this game.
This game was a good length as it took around 5 hours to finish
The music was good
There was to different kinds of HO’s in this game. One was you normal iHO and the other was a new twist on HO’s that I personally haven’t seen done before so it was nice to see something new.
The puzzles were pretty easy and relaxing to play
The hint button recharges quickly
There is an interactive map that lets you know where things are and allows you to travel from area to area so it saves you from a lot of backtracking.
The graphics were done very nice with lots of detail
There are voiceovers and they are pretty good not perfect but pretty well done
The ending, I felt, fell a bit short maybe with the CE there is more to the ending I’m not sure but if not I feel that the ending is very disappointing
So in summery the game was good with a few new things done and an ok story line. It does have a good length and is fun to play. Personally not one of my favorites but good none the less. I would recommend if you have a code or game credit or even if on sale its not s bad game.
Let me just start by saying “BEST GAME EVER” the only regret is that I didn’t buy the CE so wish I could go back and buy the CE instead of the SE. I never give 5 stars for any game with excellent all the way across but this one deserves 10 stars :) This my new favorite game I only wish that they would make more as good as this one cuz after playing this one I don't think any others could be as good. WTG on the great job and effort that went into this game it was EXCELLENT :#
The music was really nice. It was kinda Donnie Darko during game and relaxing during the HO’s it all fit the game very well The graphics were very well done I was very pleased with them
The game took me just a little over 4 hours which sucked because I didn’t want to stop playing this one I wish it could have been a little longer. I was so involved I didn’t want to put it down and the time just flew by me before I knew it I was to the end.
You can choose from 4 different levels to play casual, expert, master or my personal favorite custom where you can customize whether you want the tutorial, where you want and don’t want sparkles, how long you want your hint button to take to recharge #15-90 sec#, how long you want your skip button to charge #15-90 sec) and much more. It was great to have a customize level so you decide your own game factors something I personally have never seen and I’ve played a lot of bigfish games.
There were lots of different HO’s throughout the game. You had regular HO’s, find the black objects, find pieces and a few others so it didn’t feel like you were doing the same thing over and over it kept me from getting bored as I often do while playing cuz most the time you are doing the same HO’s all through the game.
This game didn’t have a ton of HO’s like most HO games I felt it had a perfect amount, at least that’s my feeling on it. The puzzles were fun and I felt that they were not ripping your hair out hard nor were they so easy you felt that a toddler could do them, lol.
I loved the fact that there were so many things done in this game that I have never seen done before and I’ve never played a game that had so many different things all rolled into one it made it so perfect I mean you could never get bored playing this game.
There are voiceovers for those of you, myself included, that really enjoy those.
There was not a lot of backtracking which I think is great cuz I hate a ton of back tracking. In this game once you move forward you keep moving forward.
There is a map that tells you were things that still need to be done are and allows you to travel by clicking on where you want to go.
The journal is very useful and you do need to use it every now and then.
Throughout the game you will need to interact with certain items in your inventory which gave the game an even bigger fun factor.
I don’t want to give up to much of the game but I could talk about it forever lol
In summery this game is AMAZING although a little on the short side still well worth the money and if you have it I would spring for the CE, which I have never suggested before, I only wish I would have. You will not be disappointed with this game at all. THIS GAME IS A MUST HAVE
This was an alright game it was a bit short though, I think it took me about 3 hours. I hated the ending. The graphics were well done and the dialog was good. I did really like when you go to different areas that was a cool idea. The HO’s were ok but I personally felt they got a little monotonous after a while.
In summery it might be worth a 2.99 game but I wouldn’t waste 6.99 for it.
So I read the reviews and chose to buy it well… I made it half way through it got no better it was the worse game ever if I could get a refund I would this was a total disappointment. There is nothing good I can say about this game. Try the trail before you buy or you could be wasting money, I should have. I wouldn't even give it a half star sorry folks :( Good Luck!
