Graphics Keep Getting Worse

Eipix graphics quality keep getting worse. I uninstalled the trial in less than 5 minutes. Cut-scenes are suppose to be the cream of adventure games. It seems EIPIX and BFG have now reduced them to cheesy, poorly-done after-thoughts. I don't care how good a story might be if I have to endure garbage graphics to play it. Moving cardboard cutouts and cartoon drawings are NOT graphics. When Blue Tea did these games exclusively the graphics were extraordinary. Unfortunately those days are long gone.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a great game. Graphics are good and even though the story is similar to others, there are enough interesting and unique bells and whistles to keep my interest. My only complaint is that the puzzles are far too easy. I'm not a fan of extremely difficult and time-consuming puzzles but most young children could solve these.
I recommend this game!

Good Story Ruined by Bad Game Mechanics

The story in this game was actually pretty good. However, the extremely poor game mechanics drove me mad. Even when you have an idea of what you are supposed to do, you have to click in just the precise area to get it to work. I got so frustrated with it that I uninstalled it without completing it. As others have said, this game was slapped together with very little quality testing.
I don't recommend this game.

Eipix has always had blurry game graphics but this was much worse. The whole game felt very thrown together and published with no polish. Further, the game itself was so boring that I stopped playing half way through and uninstalled it. I had bought the game too.
I don't recommend this game.

Cheesy Graphics and Bad VOs Ruin This Game

I don't like dogging a game but this was almost unplayable for me on so many levels. First, the VOs were awful. BFG REALLY needs to improve in this area, especially in the female character voices. I had to turn off the sound each time the women characters started talking. The male characters were only slightly better. Second, the cut scenes were cheesy to the point of ridiculous. They looked like a bad children's cartoon. And then the story....this has only been done about 1000 times now on BFG.
I don't recommend this game.

The developer has created an outstanding ending to the series. The graphics were good but not great; however, the story was good enough to counter that. I would like to say more but don't want to spoil anything by accident.
I recommend this game!

Game Killed by Ridiculous "Tools"

The storyline of this game was excellent. The graphics were the usual fuzzy graphics which Eipix seems to be unable to overcome. I will agree with the other reviewer... This game was absolutely killed by the ridiculous & childish "tools" that have to be used to accomplish tasks...a potato peeler to remove nails...a spur to open cans. It would be ok if there were only a few instances but this game uses these ridiculous gimmicks nonstop. Far too many BFG are an insult to our intelligence but this game wins the top prize in that category.
I don't recommend this game.

I love live acting in games. It really helps set the mood, and BFG rarily includes this anymore. I think there's little more that I can say about this game other than it's pretty well-done in just about every way...at least for me. Give it a trial at the least.
I recommend this game!

I'll add my two cents to the reviews and say that the devs did an outstanding job on this game. I don't review the story-lines in games but this is a nicely-done, original take on a classic tale. Graphics and VOs were very good (not spectacular). Each time I stopped playing, it was really hard to pull myself away, which is quite rare with most of the games here these days. If I had one complaint it's that the puzzles could have been more challenging...but, really, the game was so good that hardly mattered.
I recommend this game!

I normally just review graphics and game execution rather than plot or story. That said, this is a beautifully done game. Graphics are more towards the detail and quality of a few years ago (that's a good thing!) I am about 1/2 way through the purchased game and I'm really liking it. I'm hoping this is the beginning of a move away from the "moving cut-outs" and way too many pencil drawings of recent games on BFG. For me, the cut-scenes move the story forward and build excitement, so when the quality of those are poor, games lose my interest quickly. Thankfully, this one is very well-done in that area.
I recommend this game!
