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.

ERS Failed with 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.

Eipix Seems to Finally Have Found Their Gaming Footing

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!

The game was OK but Elephant has gone from having the most well-done animations and cut-scenes to some of the worst/cheesiest. Judging from the game download size, it's not because of making the download to big/long.
I don't recommend this game.

My hat is off to this developer. Most of my reviews focus on graphics quality as this is my own personal #1 factor in a game. I realize these are casual games but I feel most of BFG games have become nothing more than moving cutouts these days. 5-BN has done a great job of creating a game much more like what MOST BFG games were like until a few years ago. 3D graphics cut-scenes and great detail. I found myself pulled into the game immediately from the start. The use of darker colors would be my only suggestion for improvement. Now...if we could just get more BFG developers to return to graphics of this quality we would be all set :)
I recommend this game!

I bought this game without giving it a trial. Big mistake. I only played about 45 minutes before I uninstalled it. I know a lot of work goes into these games but I honestly cant find much good to say about this. The best word is CHEESY. It felt like drudgery even to play as long as I did. I think I'm also growing very tired of amulets, witches, childish VOs, and performing steps in these games that have me asking WHY? I sometimes think the developers think we are like sheep and have no brains at all.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a long game, especially considered the brevity of many recent games. My personal preference is that games have high graphics quality (including cut-scenes). This game is just OK in that regards and bit cartoonish during game play and cut scenes. The puzzle challenge is towards the tougher end of the scale. I would recommend trialing it first, as everyone's taste is different.
I recommend this game!
