Not a bad game. Yes, ghosts again, but I don't mind that. The "scream" did surprise me a bit. Liked the hint system, actually showing you where to go next, and the jump (go) button...very nice change. Graphics not bad, music nice, game play nice, voice overs not bad either. Didn't like the delay with the black screen when you moved into a HOG or a new area. HOGs nice, games not difficult but some take a bit of thought.
Took me only 45 minutes to get to the beginning of chapter 3, so I don't think this is a very long game, since there are only 5 chapters in all. I did enjoy the game and will probably end up purchasing, but will put in the puddle for now. Have to think about this one.
Thanks for the reviews.
I recommend this game!

I love this type of game. I have the other two Snark Buster games and really enjoyed them. This one is a bit different, but fun. The old lady is a hoot. Graphics nice, music okay, games not bad (not difficult), nice game play. The only thing I really didn't like much was the voice overs...the talking did not match the lip movement (almost like a dubbed movie, which I really dislike).
I did get stuck when my demo was up. Couldn't get out of the thank you "book." However, this is a fun game for a lazy day, so I am off to use a credit on this one. Thanks for the reviews.
I recommend this game!

Not a bad game, but not extremely challenging either. I do like this type of game play..a little bit of everything. I liked the fact that you could skip or a quick click through the dialogue. Liked the "ghost," but felt she should have been a voice over. Music was annoying after a while, graphics okay but a bit grainy, did not care for this type of hint system. When I want a hint, give me one, don't tell me there is nothing left to do here...I already figured that out. HOGs good.
Game seems a bit short, but overall, it was a nice game and I may purchase later. Am putting this one in the puddle for later. Thanks for the reviews.

Could have been a very nice game. Did not care for the timed match game at all (don't much care for those anyway). Graphics okay, HOGs cluttered and some items blend color too much to see, sound okay but a lot of talking, music okay but gets annoying fast. I don't mind, and often purchase, lazy day games just for fun, but was very disappointed in this one. Not a buy for me either.
Thanks for the reviews.

Personally, I feel that this game is geared more toward the beginner than anyone else and even the beginner might find this one too simple. The graphics and game play are nice, music okay, HOGs and game are extremely easy. Story line if nothing new. No challenge at all. Thanks for the reviews.
I don't recommend this game.

Well, I must be "one of a kind," because I didn't find this game particularly fun. I can't remember the last time I gave "poor" on any game. The graphics were nice, music okay, sound good, game play good. The story didn't grab me at all, nor did it keep my attention and make me want more when the demo ran out. It is lacking in something, maybe a HOG here and there to break the same old same old. I'm sure this would be a very nice game for a beginner (and that is the only reason I am recommending the game), but just not for me.
I recommend this game!

Nice game. Very nice game play, nice voice overs and graphics. Simple games. The setting seems very familiar, but I can't remember which game I played that had the same set up (just a little change in the buildings and lighting). I'm sure it was the same dev.
I do wish devs would pay attention to what choices they give you. When I select "system cursor," I expect the system cursor, not a smaller version of the one they put in the game. Those things are distracting to me for some reason.
Only real complaint I have is the HOGs. There are numerous items that you pick up, but don't get used for anything in the HOG or game. You waste time looking for what it goes to or needs to be added to. Didn't care for that at all.
Game says there are morphing objects, but I only found one and the SG doesn't list them (at least I didn't see where they were on the pages and they were not listed in the SG instructions).
Otherwise, it seems like a long game. Very much a straight HOG. I did like the game and will purchase, but not today. Will put this one in the puddle and see what else comes down the waterfall.
Thanks for the reviews.

I have the first Tiger and really enjoyed it. This one is very disappointing. Graphics nice, game play okay (no problems), different type of "HOG" (I actually liked this part of the game). Music okay. Storyline leaves a lot to be desired. Moved very slowly. Just didn't leave me wanting more when the demo ended. Too bad. Could have been a very nice game.
Personally, I think this is a nice game for a beginner and I think they would find it enjoyable. Not enough challenge for a seasoned gamer.
Thanks for the reviews.

Graphics nice, sound okay (got real tired of the laugh), game play not bad, HOGs simple (and a little challenging), games fairly easy.
I expected more. It started out great, but went down hill from there. Not as challenging as it could have been. According to the WT, I got half way through in my trial period and still had 11 minutes left on the hour. Very short game. This would be a nice game for a beginner and others will like it for its simplicity, but at the end of the demo, I really didn't feel I wanted to purchase the game to see what happens. Was expecting to like the game and take further advantage of the special this weekend to purchase this one, but got 2 CEs instead. Weekend's not over yet.
Thanks for the reviews.
I recommend this game!

I have Gardenscape and really love that type of game. It's fun to pick out stuff. Nice graphics, music and game play. Not much in the way of games and nothing really difficult. These are just plain fun. Wish I did this well in my yard sales!
I really like this one and am using a credit right now. Thanks for the reviews.
