What a delightful surprise! A great no frills thriller, full of interesting puzzles, easy to see HOS, and enough spooky atmosphere to satisfy a campfire story telling contest. The graphics are perfect, the sound fits the scenes to a tee, and there's a story being told.
I gave this five stars because it proves we don't always need all the bells and whistles of the big CEs to satisfy a need to explore a HO game. Bravo to the developers, and thank you!

This is a fantastic game! I haven't experienced real excitement in the first few scenes of a game for a long time, not since Soaring City.
This game has it all. The graphics are stunning! Puzzles clever!
Hos different and new in their construction. So much to see and hear and do. Collectibles. Worlds to explore.
Thank you to the creative wizards who went to so much trouble and toil to create this marvel. All your hard work paid off in something truly unique!
Bravo!

Great game all the way around. Held my attention on a journey of discovery through so many amazing scenes. I even liked the music, which I usually turn either down or off on most games. I love "exploring" and this game gave me lots of opportunities for that. Give it a try!
I recommend this game!

This game is intelligent and just right for adults. No cute animals, fairies, or dragons. Well crafted and beautifully drawn with interesting HOS, each different than the last. The puzzles are just right, and I am delighted! A great game to find on Christmas day!
Time travel, fact finding,exploring the Smithsonian? Oh yes, and so much more.. A must buy for me, I only review either very bad games or very good games now, This is a very good game.

This is a PERFECT family game, great for all ages. Two levels of play, replay opportunities galore, candy canes to find, 12 days of Christmas items to find, and Christmas, Christmas, Christmas scenes with some interactive HOS. And the puzzles are kid friendly (as well as older eyes friendly!). Just right for the holidays. I do heartily recommend this game!

I love this series and this version does not disappoint! It has everything I want in a game, from interesting HOS to morphing objects, a custom difficulty level, voice overs, great graphics, and a truly interesting story. Bravo developers! Thank you. I for one am sick of fairies, cute animal helpers, and all the other childish creations that seem to be so popular right now. I have been praying for a good murder mystery, and along comes another Final Cut. Yes!
I recommend this game!

This is a fantastic game. From the story line to the characters, the game is a real bargain. I have been looking for a good detective driven game, and this fills the bill. Throw in creepy sound affects, lots of cool clues and things to do, and it's a winner. A few HO scenes that can be played as mahjong (which is a real winner for me), puzzles that are quite doable, and very good graphics, and this game is well worth the price.
I recommend this game!

I would find this a much better game if I wasn't bombarded by "ghostly" sounds and what sounds like a carnival spook house maniacal laugh constantly interrupting my concentration. The rain is falling, the wind is blowing, and all that is cool, but why the other sounds? For me, the sound effects are more important than the music, which I rarely listen to for very long anyway.
So far the puzzles have been fairly good, the art work is typical for this developer, and the story is just okay. Personally, the big bad blond Viking broad is getting on my nerves! And the guy in the skeleton suit! Too, too much.And like another reviewer, Vikings in America? Really? Now Native American ghosts I can see! We don't have to import our angry visitors from the past here in the USA! So i'll wait for a great sale for this one, or until the SE comes out.

I for one don't dislike "cutsie" animal helpers, so that didn't put me off. It's the strange, washed out purple or lavender color over everything, and a slight jerky motion in the game play. Since I prefer mind crunching adventure games to get my brain cells going, the easiness of this game doesn't bother me either. I play difficult brain teasers to take care of that! So it boils down to a combination of color, sticky game play, and a well hashed story line. Just couldn't get interested during the trial period!
I don't recommend this game.

I've played this game so many times it's impossible to count. It's been one of my all time favorites for just plain fun. I never tire of the sweet farmers and their farmer's market, the easy puzzles, the spooky (mild spooky, perfect for kids) dilemma they face, and the great HOS. If you have never experienced these characters, this is the game to get and keep. And this is one game where the music is absolutely perfect to the story!
There was a Farmer Jane game before this one, but it was so simplistic it wasn't enjoyable for me.
When, oh when, will they come out with a sequel????? When I saw it on BF this morning, my heart jumped! I thought it might be a new one, but I'll have to wait. Darn!
