I'm not quite sure how this ever even got released. I don't like dogging a game so badly, but the developer needs to take a step back and rethink their whole approach to game creation. To be honest, I wouldn't even use a coupon for this.
I don't recommend this game.

I'll keep this review short.....just like the game. I don't understand what is going on with Eipix these days but each new game is getting shorter. I can finish most of their main games in about 2 hrs. I've gotten to the point of mainly getting their games with a coupon code until they upgrade the value.
I don't recommend this game.

I thought this game was done pretty well. It's a different take on Christmas and Oz. That said, there were some issues. One is the voice-over for the wicked witch was like fingers down a chalkboard. It sounded more like a high school brat instead of a wicked witch. The biggest issues was the large number of spelling issues. This is becoming a bigger and bigger issue on BFG. Marry instead of Merry. Farry instead of Fairy.
I recommend this game!

4Friends has become my new favorite developer recently. This is another great game from them. That said, they are already starting to show the same "cut-corners" on graphics as other BFG developers....the ridiculous pencil drawing cut-scenes. This is such a cheesy and quality-lowering move on the part of BFG. One of the things that makes an adventure game great are well-done cut-scenes. Come on!
I recommend this game!

First off, I highly suggest that you trial this before buying it. Glad that I did so. I pay attention to the amount of hard drive space that the game says is needed (not the demo size). All games show this if you look. We have to go all the way back to 2009-2010 to see a hard drive space requirement of only 560MB for a CE. That's a key indication of the length/quality of the game. The demo proved this to be true. Eipix games generally are getting shorter and shorter. As for the game itself, it's one big bore. This is another series that has past it's bedtime.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a good game. I love all MCF games. My primary issue with it is how short it is. What gives with most BF games getting shorter and shorter? The price to value ratio keeps dropping and I'm less and less inclined to continuing playing these games.

Elephant has long been my favorite developer, but that has now officially ended with this game. Their games are now nothing more than a badly done cartoon....and in this case a VERY BADLY done cartoon. Further this overall story is just ridiculous nonsense. Long gone are the excellent graphics quality and 3D-animated cut-scenes of their past games. RIP. As an aside, it's way past time for all of the endless "series" games to also die on BFG. It seems that's all we get anymore. Any semblance of originality seems non-existent with the exception of 4Friends games.
I don't recommend this game.

This game is mostly a disaster. I'm not sure what is going on with Eipix these days. Their games keep getting shorter and the overall quality keeps falling. I unfortunately bought this mess, but I didn't play for more than 15 minutes before uninstalling it.
I don't recommend this game.

I'll add my vote to the pile of positive reviews and say that this a really great game. The story is engaging and game play is fun. The graphics are well-done for the most part (although I think that all BFG developers could still improve a bit here). 4Friends has officially toppled the Elephant as my favorite developer. It seems this developer always finds a way to make a lengthy game that holds my interest through to the end. As always, I suggest giving it a trial to see if it's the right game for you.
I recommend this game!

I'll start by saying that I'm not normally a fan of this developer's games. That said, I find that I really like this game a lot. I'm currently about 60% through the purchased game. The sound and feel reminds of me of the "Haunted Hotel - Charles Dexter Ward" game, which was a great game from quite a few years back. The game play is similar to that game as well. It's somber and dreary but that fits the story well. The puzzle difficulty varies from easy to medium so far. Most of them are difficult enough to keep solving but not so difficult that I wanted to press the skip button. I also like that (for a change) you can't figure out the plot line from a mile away.
I recommend this game!
