It seems Amax games keep getting shorter and shorter. The graphics are very nice in this game. The game itself is exactly like every other AMAX game these days....they are all mostly the same game rehashed over and over. Regardless of story or game play, based on how short the game is, there is no way I will buy the CE. The value is just not there. I honestly don't understand the logic behind making these games shorter and shorter.
I don't recommend this game.

It seems like I'm writing the same review over and over. In fact, I am because it's the same tired old premise, cookie cutter tasks, etc in game after game, and especially in this series. Every game in this series is exactly like the one before. I actually like Domini Games but this series needs to end...and soon! Other's have detailed the issues so I won't rehash them here. I highly suggest a demo before purchasing this!
I don't recommend this game.

If you want very poorly done graphics that look like they were produced 10-15 years ago, look no further than this game. It was so badly done that I didn't last more than 10 minutes into the trial before I uninstalled. Really Bigfish and Artifex?
I don't recommend this game.

I made the mistake of buying this game without trialing it. Big mistake. This is the most boring game I've played in a long time. I thought Amax had finally turned the corner, but I was sadly mistaken. The graphics and challenge are ok, but what good is that if you bored stiff. I absolutely suggest trialing this before buying!
I don't recommend this game.

It's been a long time since I gave a 5 star review. The developer has done a terrific job with this game. Beautiful graphics, moderate to challenging puzzles, and a great story line. Not much else to say but that I loved it. Give the trial a spin. You might like it too!
I recommend this game!

What has big fish games become.....here's one answer...an endless stream of serial games done to the lowest standards of quality possible. This game is typical of AMAXs most recent fair. In a nutshell, it's bottom rung quality and an endless array of the same bland tasks we've seen a thousand times over. This game is short and boring. If you don't trial it before buying...well, it's your wasted money. This series should have died about 7-8 games ago.
I don't recommend this game.

I bought this game and honestly thought I would end up kicking myself for doing so. Thankfully, I was wrong. I think Eipix did a great job of pulling together all of the elements from past MCF games. I also see why the reviews are so polarized. If someone never played the very early MCF games, they would definitely be put off by the way the game is structured. Especially the countless HOPS. My only gripe is why oh why did they choose to do such a cheesy job on the characters. Based on the earlier games I see no logical reason for it and it really keeps this from being a 5 star game.

This game is just plain awful. Bad/childish graphics. Ridiculous numbers of keys/amulets. Completely illogical/nonsensical tasks and the same game play as the last 12 months of games on BFG. There's only one good thing to say about this and all of the other recent games. I'm saving money by not purchasing them. I will say that Elephant was once my fave developer but those days are long gone. Maybe BFG needs some new developers with fresh ideas for a change!
I don't recommend this game.

This game has ok graphics and an OK story but my gosh does it get boring. I'm about 50% through it and I'm having to force myself to complete it because it's just so blah. The VO's don't help either. When things do start to happen the VO's sound like "we're bored too". Further, the "valley" or "vocal fry" voices combined with the "Kardashian lisp" of the female characters absolutely don't fit the game. Kudo's for a long game, but please make it more exciting the next time!
I don't recommend this game.

Well...that's it. Domini was the last holdout for high-end graphics on BF games. Now, they've joined the rest in low-en cartoons. I've never been big on Domini's stories. They just usually are very blah. The only reason I continued buying them was for the graphics. Now that they've downgraded, I won't be buying anymore of their games. Sorry, but it seems BFG adventure games keep sinking to new lows with each passing month. I downloaded the trial and uninstalled it in about 10 minutes. How is it possible to get bored with a game that fast? Download the trial, and you'll understand. I DO suggest you trial it instead of relying on the usual cheerleader reviews.
