I have come to Love Strategy games..In fact I enjoy and highly recommend the entire Garden, Inc. series! They are challenging, beautiful to Look at, and just plain fun!! I'm so glad to have found this game genre. I had never played strategy games untie Last year. I am now addicted.
I've been a gaming fan..since before BFG was born. (Yes, I reaIIy am "that old"). To other gaming veterans of years gone by, I started out playing games from the BFG precursor -- Real Arcade. I must own over 500 hundred games. I'm so glad that I have recently broadened my horizons to the genre of strategy games. I highly suggest you try one or aII of the Garden, Inc Series. You can't go wrong. Bonus -- these games are extremely Long..so you get a Lot for your money and tons of enjoyment as weII.
Suggestion to the Designers!! Please Consider my thoughts - I HATE, and that is not too strong a word for how I feel about the evil critters (aka "bad guys") that show up Later in the games. These "guys" try their best to ruin your game strategy. You then have to get the police to "take care of them", aII while trying to enjoy the joy of playing this game. Having said that.. I stiII enjoy playing these games. My fantasy is that .. the customer wiII be given a choice to have bad guys or not -- in future game development of this type of game. It has almost ruined these games in one way for me, but it has not stopped me from playing them. I am a game player who Likes to relax and not be stressed when I play. As in real Life, bad guys ruin Life!!! ENJOY!
I recommend this game!

I have enjoyed the 1st 2 Hercules games. I like Time Managment games. I was excited by the thought of the third game which promises to add the unique twist using "girl power". What a disappointment! The only thing that the "girl" gets to do is raise one type of plant. Nothing else! She could have, at least, been given the task of collecting the fruit on the trees. She stands around "doing nothing" for long periods of game time. Their goals, were, quite honestly, not achieved. My hope is that they take this game back, and restructure the game duties of the players. How can Megara help to free the hero-- when she is busy making one plant grow!! So Sad! Very disappointed. I'm hoping for a needed upgrade. Please!!
I don't recommend this game.

This is a challenging and fun game. BUT, THE GAME WON'T SAVE after level 9. I was up to something in the 20's - which is the highest I'd ever gotten. I prayed that the game would save. NOPE. I am now restarting at Level 9 AGAIN. At first, the game would not save at all. I tried playing it in the Arcade version, and that allowed the game to save at Level 9. I hope BFG promotes this game, but w/'fixes". It's lots of fun!!
I recommend this game!

The game itself is wonderful. It is a unique approach to match games & puzzle games. (I'm sure there is a better name than this...but). There is one idiosyncrasy. In the story part of the game...The lines of dialogue REPEAT, AND REPEAT, AND REPEAT. Either this is a ridiculous way to tell a story, or my computer is broken...just during "story time". I don't understand this part of the game. It is annoying (at least to me). I'd actually like to split my vote: 1/2 yes, and 1/2 no. I hope the game designers.. can move the story part along so we can actually play the game. I'm still confused!!!
I don't recommend this game.

After reading the reviews, I must not be the type of game player for Farm Frenzy. I had absolutely no fun. I just keep clicking on the grass to make more; wait for the ducks to lay eggs. You collect the eggs. I still don't understand how to make money..The eggs go in the boat, w/or w/out the ducks and beasts. You click on these options and then, things happen. Not really sure what or how it happens, however!
I did NOT understand this game at all, and I am very impressed with the players who love, enjoy and can actually play this game. My hat is off to you!
I don't recommend this game.

Sadly, I was unable to play this game. When I went to options, I could barely get there as the mouse was SO SLOW. This has happened in other games. I assumed that as soon as I changed to the Windows Mouse. It "might" have moved faster by a tiny bit, but not enough to play. Too Bad. Was looking forward to playing the game!
I don't recommend this game.

I just discovered this type of game, and I'm loving them. This has all of the right things to make this game a success, EXCEPT..for the constant pop-up boxes tellling us what is needed for each item to fix. For me it was an enormous distraction. Actually, it drove me crazy. If the boxes were gone, I would have loved the game.
I just want you to be warned. Don't buy this game until you have played it. If you can play with the "Pop Up Boxes"..then it is for you. I can't! Can't buy.
Just can't recommend the game.
I don't recommend this game.

I am new to this type of "brain challenge" game. Now I love them. I own 6 or 7.
They challenge my problem solving skils. Asian Riddles is a relaxing, You need to find the right number of boxes that fit the puzzle (kind of like Sudoku, but much more fun) (I don't listen to the music, but I'll bet it's soothing) game.
This game is now $2.99. Now is the time to "try it"
I recommend this game!

I found the story very interesting. I saw one reviewer said that this game was for beginners. I don't consider myself a beginner, but I found it really hard to just play the game w/out following the errors and using hints. A game that requires (for me) too many hints..is not fun for me.
Give the game for yourself. I won't be buying it. Not for me!!
I don't recommend this game.
