I have to say that I was really disappointed in the overall quality of this game. The graphics were OK, but I found the 3-D aspect of the characters to be clunky and the facial proportion of the supposedly beautiful women made them rather masculine in appearance. I also found the characters to be completely unsympathetic. It was really hard to care what happened to them. The puzzles were very good and there were some new puzzle concepts. Unfortunately, the directions for the puzzles were not at all clear. In addition, the Strategy Guide was not very helpful. Add to that a story which really makes no sense at all and I really cannot recommend spending the money for the CE of this game
I don't recommend this game.
Will you heed the director’s final casting call?

I was so excited to see another Final Cut game, but so disappointed with the game itself. Very choppy game play with a juvenile story line. The graphics and sound are great, but what good is that when the story and game play are less than stellar ? The bonus game was more fun than the entire regular game because at least you could move from scene to scene at will and not end up locked out of most of the areas. All in all, this game was not even close to the level of the first two. So sad :(
I don't recommend this game.

This game was a lot of fun, with different styles of puzzles. However, just as I was getting into it, the game was over. The ending promises more Munchausen games, but I really wish that this one was about twice as long.
I recommend this game!

This game was only OK. Kind of creepy story line but very predicatble, Puzzles are OK. Very typical for the HO/puzzle genre. Animation was sadly lacking. More like stop motion than animation. Wait for the regular version. Don't waste your money on the CE. Added content takes about 10 mins to finish :(
I don't recommend this game.

The game starts out like gang busters but the end is rather sudden and quite disappointing. Technically, the mapping system was very confusing to me, but otherwise the game was good, with challenging puzzles/ Story-wise it ended up being very strange. We spent half the game rescuing 5 kittens and then left them to drown when we blew up the underwater hotel ?? Not to mention locking our faithful bot out of the escpae capsule.... But given the final scene, he at least survived. I am still bummed about the kittens though.
I don't recommend this game.

Wow ! What a game. Excellent all around. Challenging puzzles, game play that goes on forever, incredible graphics and humor, too. Who could ask for more? I just finished the regular game and haven't even done the bonus content and this game was worth every penny. I will play again and again, for sure, Thanks Elephant games for a stellar production
I recommend this game!

I was really looking forward to this game after the previous release, but this one did not live up to the prior one. The story started outwell, but it got quite muddled and it was very linear and a bit simplistic in the end. Even the bonus chapter did not do much to redeem the game, I question whether it was worth the purchase price for the CE. Maybe the regular edition would be a better value.

There are not a lot of bad things to say about this game, but there are not a lot of good things either. I found the animation lacking, but the background graphics are quite nice. The puzzles are kind of simplistic, but there are a goodly number of them. There is a map, but you cannot use it to navigate. It's worth spending a free game token, but I'm not sure that I would pay full price for it. All in all, it's just OK
I recommend this game!

This game is only OK, but there is no need to purchase because it is easily completed in 30-45 minutes. I stupidly purcahsed without trying first and am now trying to get a refund from Big Fish. If you have a half hour to waste, then download the free versrion and play
I don't recommend this game.

This game is soooo slow and there are no directions to let you know what to do or how to do it. Challenges are repetitive and the story line makes no sense. I played the demo for about 20 minutes before I deleted the whole thing.
I don't recommend this game.
