I purchased this game as CE since I assumed after playing some of the demo that I would really like it being that it was circus life with a little joker running around and it sure sounded like a great storyline.
Well to my disappointment after trying SEVERAL times to follow the game structure I have finally given up!!!! It is much too hard to follow even with the strat guide built right in. It is a back and forth and forth and back game with lots of very dim areas and items that are just too hard to find. Even the Strat Guide is dim and hard to follow!!!!
I may be the exception but I would not recommend this game to anyone who is new to HOGs. I have been playing Big Fish HOGs for 6 yrs but this is the most difficult game I have ever run across and am sorry now I wasted my money.
I was most impressed with Premature Death CE by E.A.Poe. Excellent game with lots of interesting twists and turns. The way the story was put together was exceptional. The music fit right into the time period and was easy listening. The dialogue, characters and gameplay were all well done and easy to follow.The HOS were challenging but fun to play.
A must buy!
I recommend this game!

Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Baskervilles
Charles Baskerville is the latest victim of a centuries-old curse! Help Holmes break the curse before the next murder occurs!
What a wonderfully scary, well put together game. Although it is a very old story this company has put it together so well it was fairly easy to follow. The rewards throughout the game were a cool added attraction and gave you a boost each time you won another one. I must say I enjoyed it tremendously as I am sure others will too.
The HOs, mini-games and just getting to the next spot were exceptionally challenging but not impossible. The colour, sound and VOs very well done.
This game is well worth the money and more!!
I loved the game and was utterly delighted with the ending.
Very worthwhile game put out by Nat'l Geography. For anyone who enjoys excellent puzzles,history and a little bit of HOS this is the game for you! I am on the 3rd chapter and have experienced several good puzzles and great visuals. The storyline goes without saying as I am sure most have [at least] heard of the fall of Caesar.
The scenes are well designed and tell much about that era in Roman history.
Hope Nat'l Geo puts out more games such as this in the future.
I recommend this game!

Game is excellent with lots of twists and turns to make it more interesting especially when you find out the final outcome.
What a terrific game. Easy to follow [with walkthroughs help..lol], great visuals and sound.Mini games challenging but fun to play. The zombies were scary and did the trick to add to the overall atmosphere. The storyline was very believable if we think of 'similar' catastrophes in the world today.
I was quite impressed with the entire game and played it through to the end without getting bored or anxious.
Enjoy!!
I recommend this game!

Sink into this underwater breakout game. Instead of busting bricks, you get to crush crustaceans and their aquatic cohorts.
This is a wonderful little game. I have spent hours winning or defeating myself..lol Great way to relax without thinking about anything but picking up the gems and coins.
I enjoyed this game although it took me everso long to complete. But complete it I did.. yahoo!! For some reason it seemed to go on and on and on with no end in sight. An awful lot of forwards and back to retrieve or solve a puzzle but that is part of the game when ppl like me need a SG otherwise I just get lost..lol The storyline was wonderful, the ghostly appearances of characters was the best I have seen and really made the game special. Level of challenge was not exceptional but did put the whole game together. I have to admit I enjoyed Death Under Tuscan Skies a lot more in comparison. I would recommend this game to intermediate or experts and only to novices if they really want to work at finding solutions.
I never knew one could have so much fun and get so much satisfaction from playing jigsaws!! This is a terrific game and great for the memory too..lol This is my first jigsaw download so I am glad I chose Jigsaws Galore to peak my interest. The images, colour but mostly the selection is exceptional. I am unable to comment on the music as I always have the sound turned down on all the games not just this one as the constant trumming (or whatever) is simply not my taste and drives me to turn the sound off. The level of challenge depends on how much you want to be challenged making a picture out of a picture. It is so much fun you don't notice the challenge until it is finished and they give you the amount of time it took..lol
I really enjoyed everything about this game. Not only the word search and typing skills but the historical factor storyline from F.Scott Fitzgeralds fantastic novel. Sad ending but what can one expect with all that money causing loneliness, boredom and jealosy. I would recommend this game to anyone who wishes a challenge other than finding secret objects. It was terrific!!
