As soon as I started playing the demo I knew I was going to buy this. No crashed car!! No flat tyres, missing keys, etc: I think I must play too many HOGs as I am fed up with all the gruesome storylines! This game has great graphics, very interactive HO scenes and lots of puzzles. I played in 'hardcore' which seemed quite easy and the whole game is just a delight. More like this please BFG !
I won't go into detail as many other reviewers have already done that (better than I could) This is not a HOG in the usual sense and I wouldn't really call it an Adventure game! It took me a while to work out what I was meant to be doing so it would have been nice to have a bit of a tutorial at the begining. I liked that when an area had nothing left in it to find or do there was an 'area clear' message and this was needed because an area still sparkled even if it was finished with. The puzzles were simple enough and certainly the longer I played the easier it was to work out what to do. The game is quite short and each 'painting' event has the same format - there is no real story. I enjoyed it.
I think this game is great. Light hearted - a change from all the grim CE games, and have played demo on expert mode. Love the dog for the hints and have now purchased the game. Some of the hidden objects are quite hard to find (for me) but then there's the fun of using the dog! Would recommend this if you are looking for a light hearted fun game
