Ok.... I'm not much for eerie games but the wolf puppy won my heart in this game. But don't get me wrong, this game holds a lot of surprises for you. Besides great graphics, great sound and interesting storyline it will take you on a journey that I haven't seen in other HOG's. Unusual challenges within challenges within challenges. And the difficulty of the game isn't extremely hard but it really makes you use your stratagy techniques and your vision skills. The game will hold your interest and keep you coming back (that's if you can even leave the game before finishing it). I think the developers did such an excellent job on this creation that I'm buying they're other creations. And I'm looking forward to seeing what their next game will be like. Keep up the excellent work. [Believe the high reviews on this game. They're all true!].
I recommend this game!

I bought the sister game before I bought this one and I absolutely loved it. I love the look of the characters on this game better though. And I think they're household good were better too. This game lets you have your own kitchen, unlike the sister game, so you dont have to go to restuarants all of the time. I really liked that. I like the color wheel better in the sister game better but I like how this game has a grocery store. And this game is great about showing you what your upgrades look like in your yard as they're being built. The biggest downfall I have with both games is the cursor. I have a terrible time finding the little thing after finishing a level when the game congratulates you... etc. It gets lost in the confetti. But other than that small detail I'm definately recommending it. This game took me 10 straight hours to play. Fun game!
I recommend this game!

First off I have to thank one of the BFG tech's [Emily] for introducing me to this game. She was helping me with a problem I was having with a different game via email and at the bottom of her emails they mentioned how Life Quest 2: Metropoville was her most recent favorite game. I hadn't heard of this game so I downloaded the trial version. I LOVE THIS GAME. It's just what I've been looking for. I've always wanted a game that lets you decorate houses and this game has it. But you have to work jobs, stay healthy and travel to add things to your home. You also can buy clothes, get married and have kids. And you even get to have pets and color them any way you want. You can dye your hair, buy clothes, furniture, knick knacks and so on and you can go to college. All kinds of great things. There is one 'Con' I wish was different about the game and that would be that I wish I could move the furniture around to where I want it. And I wish I could decorate a garden. And have it where you can change your hairstyle in the middle of the game. Maybe the next sequel will have this. Otherwise... great game. I played it for 14 straight hours before I was able to finish it. I couldn't quit until I was done. And now I've started playing it again. I've also bought the first series and I'm really enjoying it too. What I love most about the games is that I dont have to click on pause while I'm playing it and watching my favorite tv shows. Nothing like getting a game that demands your attention or it will run out of time and make you lose. I refuse to buy those type of games anymore. When you have kids you dont want to have to be clicking on pause all of the time. Thanks for my 2 new favorite games.
I recommend this game!

I 'DO NOT' like these type of games but I tried the 'Trial' version of this game and before I knew it I was buying it. This game is relaxing #I can play it and watch tv# and it kept me coming back to play more. The graphics were cute. It would be a great game for little one's to find all of the objects needed to win. I'm really dumfounded. Something about this game keeps me entertained and I don't know why. I went and tried a similar game and it did nothing for me. I've finished this game and I'm going to go right back and play it again. Great job developers.
I recommend this game!

Pro's:
1] I loved the opening Warning sign.
2] Graphics and sounds were ok.
3] Hidden object scene's were great to me. Not too hard and not too easy. The objects actually look like what they were supposed too; no blue starfish or pink wrenches.
4] I liked all of the mini puzzles except for the first one. It was impossible to complete it. I had to hit 'Skip' and that's no fun. And after hitting 'Skip' it didn't show you the solution. I think they lied to us. I don't think there was a solution.
5] *****The guy in the tent scared me. I laughed so hard. I wish I could've clicked on him again to see him scare me again. Out of all of the scary HOGs I've played this was the first time something made me jump. Loved it!
Con's: Too many to list but here's the most irritating.
1] Sparkles not having anything usable when you click on them. I would click on a sparkle and a box would move and there wouldn't be anything behind the box.
2] Too many things that sparkled weren't treasures. You'd have to go find a key or something to open it and then there wouldn't be anything really exciting inside of it when you finally get it open. I like getting things and moving on. And then down the road discovering something that might need a key and I already have it in my Inventory.
3] There is one scene where I clicked on a stool and a keyhole on a door popped up. The door was 35 feet away. What's a stool got to do with a door that's 35 feet away?
4] I'd click on something and it would fly down into my Inventory but not show up in my Inventory. Hmmm.... don't know what they were but they're hiding in my Inventory somewhere.
5] I didn't like the design of the cursor. It was hard to tell when it would change to an eyeball or hand a lot of times.

I read the reviews and was sure I'd finally found a match 3 game I would like besides the gem spinner app I play but I'm disapointed again. For one I cant stand timed games or games that make you redo levels over and over. This game would be 5 stars if it didn't have so many boring match 3 levels.The graphics are great but I'm not playing a art game. I guess I'll stick to HOG games.
I don't recommend this game.

This has got to be a Game of the Year nominee for this year. This game is so different, challenging and fun. I just love it. It has a cute storyline, great graphics and a completely different type of hidden object feel. Thank you game developers for creating something different for us and something I can play with my grandkids and not have to explain about 'dark' things to them. If you're tired of the same old hidden object games then this is for you. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.
I recommend this game!

I can't believe I'm writing a 5 star review for a tv game show game. I've played ALL of them and this is the BEST one I've ever played. I loved the show on tv and this game brings back all of the action and more. I love how you can spend your winnings in the 'Wardrobe' store and change the appearance of your character. To me the questions are challenging and fun. The developers really did this game right trying to immitate the real show. And who doesn't love the Whammy characters?! They're just as cute as the Whammy on the original show. I wish I had bought this game when it had first come out. It's really entertaining. The only complaint I could make is that it doesn't have an 'Undo' tab in the 'Wardrobe' store. If you try something on, you're stuck with it until you buy something to replace it. I tried on a wig at the beginning of the game and couldn't stand it. I liked the way my hair was before I tried on the wig and tried to switch back but there was no way to do that. That would make a big plus if the game let you do that. I'm surprised the developers didn't think to offer that option considering how well the game is made otherwise.
I recommend this game!

Why do developers make HOGs with great graphics but then you get to the actual hidden objects the objects dont look like what they're supposed to? And I had to put my magnifying glasses on to figure out where most of the objects were. Not everybody has 20/20 vision. And I'm getting tired of the developers making objects the same color of what they're sitting on just to try and hide them better. Once or twice in a game is ok but now it seems like they do too many in each level. This games hidden object scenes are just too mushy to me.
I don't recommend this game.

I found this game boring. The only thing I liked was the scenery. That is beautiful. I had to take a star away for the scary images. I dont care for those. I took a star away because I didn't care for the storyline. And I took a star away because I cant stand games that you click on something and you cant use the item right away. They make you go back and forth just to be able to pick up the item. I dont mind going back and forth but they should have a HOG scene or some kind of puzzle in each scene to keep you interested.
I don't recommend this game.
