My pet peeve is games that are too dark(visually) and the HO's are way too small, unless you have 20/20 vision. Graphics poor by todays standards. Looks like an old game that someone found in a dark corner. Please BF really check out these games before sending them out. Cannot recommend this one.

I played the trial for about 10 minutes and had to quit. The constant dialogue drove me nuts. Just was frustrating and not fun. Seemed like I had to click on the entire scene to find where to go next. Not my cup of tea as the English say.
I don't recommend this game.

I really enjoyed this game. I also do not understand how different you can expect a game of mahjong to be? I thought the music was kind of fun. I can mute it if I get tired of it....so not an issue for me. I bought the prior Aztec version by the same developer and have enjoyed hours of fun with that game. I plan to buy this game also
I recommend this game!

Loved this game. The colors were bright and graphics appealing. I love a good map, and hints that don't just say "nothing more to do here". The hints actually helped you to move forward with the game. I am not a fan of most of the "beyond objects" , but these are not impossible to find and don't change your focus of moving forward. This game is a thumbs up for sure!

The game seemed to promise a trip to Paris, yet we never even got off the ground? I played game after game with no continuation of the story? Disappointing and not a game I would buy. Sorry....

Boy, we have had a slew of not to great HOG's to trial! What is going on BF? I agree with another reviewer, these seem to be first generation games that you have pulled out of a dusty drawer. Too many new, cool games to bother with games like these. sorry another thumbs down.
I don't recommend this game.

I tried to give this HOG a fair shoot, but the graphics were mono-toned. The game asks you to find numbers for one HO scene, but the numbers were small and very fuzzy. Cannot recommend this game..
I don't recommend this game.

This game might have been ok except for the over abundance of dialogue between the characters! I wanted to move on more quickly, but no way to skip the dialogue.
I don't recommend this game.

Visually beautiful, with soothing music. More back and forth then I like, but the beauty convinced me to buy this game when the regular edition is released. Hated to see the trial end!
I recommend this game!
