A lot of BF games these days have plenty of ridiculousness, but I think this one gets the top award in that area. Did you know that you can removed boards nailed into stone with a pocket knife? (don't even ask how nails were driven through stone in the first place) The protagonist is too weak to lift a small stone lying on a sword, but she has the strength to bend iron with her hands. Either the developers need to spend time in the real world or else they don't care how ridiculous everything else is. This nonsense ruins the whole game.
I don't recommend this game.

With so many negative reviews, I had to try out this game before buying it. I'm not sure that I get why it gets so much flack. Sure the puzzles are too easy but the graphics are done well, the VOs aren't obnoxious, and I find that I like it. Like some reviewers of other games have said, not every game has to be a brain buster. Sometimes just a relaxed game play is all you need. Give it try for yourself. One thing I will say...it's WAAAYYY past time for ERS to get some new sound effects. They've been using the same ones for so long. Ditto for some of the other developers as well (EIPIX)
I recommend this game!

I typically love the games in this series but this one just isn't cutting it. (I purchased the game unfortunately.) First, it has the same annoying voice-overs as the Adam Wolfe series. Second, the plot is largely ridiculous. And lastly the music, which is usually the big draw, is cheesy at best. The devs need to redirect the series in a hurry or watch it die. It seems they tried to use the same Adam Wolfe formula with this series and it just won't work!
I don't recommend this game.

This is one of the most beautifully drawn games to come along on BFG in quite some time. My hat is off to the developers. I'm about 75% done with the purchased game and the art quality holds throughout the entire game. Graphics quality is my #1 consideration in liking or disliking a game. The storyline has a bit of a surprise and is well-done also. It isn't the most challenging game in regards to the puzzles, but that didn't really bother me as I was engrossed in the game itself.
I recommend this game!

First...I purchased this game and this is not based on the demo. In most of my reviews, I focus upon the graphics quality. From the opening cut-scene, I could tell that Elephant had returned to much of the graphics glory of their past. They have always been my favorite developer but they took some giant steps backwards in graphics quality these past few years. So far the level of challenge is somewhere in the middle range. It has been an interesting story line too. If there is one downside, it appears that this will likely be a short game but I haven't played far enough to adequately judge that. I can see that there are TWO bonus chapters.
I recommend this game!

Everyone has to different tastes, but I've yet to play a single game in this series that wasn't ridiculously cheesy and just plain bad. About 5 mins of the trial was enough for me to know that this game is no different. Rapid uninstall.
I don't recommend this game.

The biggest issue with this game is that the puzzles were ridiculous. Most of them make absolutely no sense and become little more than a guessing game. Further, many of the puzzles ARE guessing games. Third, so many items in this game hadn't been invented yet for the time period it was set in. I commend ERS for trying to make the game a bit more difficult but this is just nonsense...and a complete fail.
I don't recommend this game.

I will start by saying that EIPIX has never been my favorite developer - primary because of very fuzzy graphics. That said, they have done an excellent job with the past few games. Maybe it's the darker colors but their graphics have gotten a tad less fuzzy also. I have a 24" monitor and their graphics still have some issues on larger screens. Where EIPIX has always excelled is their ability to come up with new and unique storylines. (They must have some incredible talent on-board). I'm only about 1/4 of the way through the purchased game and I'm enjoying the heck out of it. My hat is off to the design team. Now just keep improving the graphics factor and we will be all set. :)
I recommend this game!

I normally don't care for this series, as I find them to be boring. I will admit that this game is different from the other MOTW games - but I consider that a plus. In many games, EIPIX appears to be leaning a bit more to the "darker" side but I think they are actually turning out better games as a result of that. Everyone has different tastes, so I always recommend that you "try before you buy."
I recommend this game!

I'm about 1/3 of the way through the purchased game. I'm actually liking it a lot. It's an easily done game (so far) but the momentum keeps things moving along nicely. I've noticed recently with other games that when there are too many difficult puzzles that the whole story bogs down and I don't always feel like finishing them. Sure this game could be a bit more challenging and the cut scenes could be better but it's still great fun. Awesome job Daily Magic.
I recommend this game!
