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!

My review is based on the full game, which I am currently 2/3 of the way through. I will begin by saying that Eipix did a fantastic job on this game. I'm not sure if it was the darker colors, but their graphics quality took a step forward. I've always thought that their games were good except for the fuzzy graphics. The darker colors work SO much better. That said, this games feels like they took a page from their last two Ravenhurst installments to develop this new series. Even one of the characters looks like one of the Ravenhurst twins. I do recommend this game, but - as always - give the trial a whirl first.
I recommend this game!

First off, I think a 4 year old could solve most of the puzzles. They were easy to the point of ridiculous. Further, this is the first game in which I actually had to turn off the sound. The childish, whiny, "valley-girl" voiceovers were unbearable. BFG really needs to find more mature voices in its games.
I don't recommend this game.

This game was ridiculous to the extreme. The devs must have been high when they designed it. I play most BFG adventure games, but this one got down right unintuitive to honestly having no idea what the goal of tasks were at points. Then it vacillated to puzzles a kindergarten kid could solve. I uninstalled at about the 60% point as I was bored to tears. Who cares if the game is long or not when you really don't care to finish it.
Is this an ordinary murder case, or something more sinister?

First off, let me say that I'm only about 1/2 way through the purchased game (no demo). This series is consistently well done and this game is no exception. I'm very picky about graphics and VOs and I have no complaints here. The graphics are washed out a bit but that fits with the 50s retro game theme. (I usually review game appearance as far too many BFG developers are taking way too many shortcuts these days in my opinion.) The developer does a good job of making you think about what to do next, which keeps things more challenging. I won't speak to the plot as others do that better than me, but I definitely recommend the game....especially if you like 50s,noir, or retro themes.
I recommend this game!
