I purchased the CE of the game. I'm about 1/3 of the way through it and I'm loving it. It's has a feel more like the very early of days of the HH series. The drab colors and dreary settings are perfect for helping to create just the right feel. The puzzles so far could be a bit more challenging but I don't like puzzles that take an eternity to solve because the forward energy & excitement typically gets lost in the process. Also, Elephant Games has typically been my fave developer but they seem to have been losing it over the past year or so. They've regained their footing with this game. Everyone has different likes but my two cents is that it's a great, creepy game.
I recommend this game!

I just could not get into this game. There was absolutely nothing to hold my attention. I bought it but installed it within 30 minutes of play. Rarely do I find a game that just had so little going for it.
I don't recommend this game.

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.

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!
