Is this really a collector's edition?

I loved the Emily series so when I saw this up I immediately bought it. Sadly it was a bit lacking in a couple areas that made me question if this should really be called a collector's edition. Normally there is something for you to collect, or certain things for you to strive for. You won't really find that in this first (of many hopefully) game of this series.
The gameplay is exactly the same although I found finding the mouse extremely easy. The upgrades to the stores were a bit pricey and didn't seem to make much of a difference in the actual gameplay. Also, I noticed that you can't really go back and buy things you missed once you've completely passed all the levels. Perhaps it's just a glitch, but I couldn't complete that "mission" because I couldn't buy what I missed. I found the clicking to be a bit iffy, and it slowed me down having to slowly click on each product or it may not register that I clicked it.
The game also was pretty easy on normal so I can imagine it to be super easy on beginner. I haven't started on the advanced level yet. I beat all the levels within a day, which for a collector's game that is just way too fast for my liking.
Overall, I still am happy I bought it because it is well made. The games are fun even with lacking the collectibles. I'm hoping they come out with more games for the Angela series as well as this one soon.
I recommend this game!

So I love TM games and I feel okay about Match 3, this is both and it ends up being pretty overwhelming. I don't hate the game, it's pretty simple. You get three orders - match the foods on the "game board" to the orders. Oh and you have to do it insanely fast. The faster the better, and you'll definitely want to use the drink, fries, and cookies all the time. The time management portion involves serving all customers before they get too mad. I quickly learned to serve the food critic and older rich woman first as they have no patience. The match 3 portion is almost an after thought for me as I just match food products without even thinking. Eventually I'll get all the food to whomever needs it. I wish the customers would automatically disappear though as it does slow you down. The hidden object game is easy, nothing special to it although sometimes you're left clicking randomly to find the ones that have to have something extra done to them. The yogurt mini game is the hardest, you have to go really fast and in the specific order that is shown on the screen. As hard as it is I've always gotten expert. For the most part I play for about 10 levels, then I choose either recipes or ingredients to level up, and then go back and try to get expert on the levels I only got goal on. I've found it easier to manage that way. My only issue...and it's a BIG ISSUE is that you get practically no coins to level up. The coins you get just don't match up to the coins you need to level up. It can be very frustrating and that's basically the only thing I'd change about this game.
I recommend this game!

Based off of Demo Play:
I thought I'd give this game a try because I've basically beat all my other games at the moment. The game play is okay, pretty easy to navigate throughout, the overall look is good as well. The one thing that I didn't like and is a big thing for me is the story. It just isn't good, and didn't grab me at all. The storyline was just so slow and honestly I basically pushed myself to see it through to the end of the trial play. I would still recommend you try this game for yourself because no two gamers are created equal. For me this is not one that I'll be owning even if I have an extra credit.
I recommend this game!

I love HOG's I'm always trolling for the newest one to show up on BFG. So when I saw this one I immediately downloaded the demo and tried it out. I finished it pretty quickly and thought it was fun enough that I purchased it. It looked really promising, the story was good enough, and the graphics are well drawn as well. It wasn't until I really got into playing that I started having issues. A couple of times during a mini game to find the objects needed I encountered a bug. It basically made some of the items needed to disappear and I had to exit out of the game and restart it for those items to show up. Then there is the whole not being able to choose an item without it backing you out of the scene you're in. Then there was that one mini game where you had to move your mouse up and down. No matter how fast or slow I moved it did nothing. Once I did get it moving I couldn't keep it there. I got frustrated and essentially skipped that game altogether. It shows up twice in the game and both times were skipped. The game wasn't too hard to beat and I finished it in less than an hour. I didn't care much for how quickly the story progressed. I'd rather have gotten multi-part games and have a better storyline. Overall, it helped to pass the time, but i was left wanting my money back for this one.
I don't recommend this game.
