My hat is off to the developers for a great game. Graphics and voiceovers were very well done. I did subtract one star because puzzles could have been more challenging, but I still recommend the game!
I recommend this game!

I don't like to give extremely negative reviews but I find very little good to say about this game. The game play and the graphics were just very badly done. I only regret that I bought it before trialing it. I could only bear to play about 30 minutes of it before I uninstalled it. I won't be buying another in this series.
I don't recommend this game.

Elephant Games is my favorite developer and this is a good series. However, I thought the puzzles were very poorly done and had no challenge. Also, puzzle graphics were just plain BAD. The overall game color scheme was very drab and lacked the "brightness" of prior games in this series. Much of the gameplay scenes seemed much "flatter" and less 3D than earlier installments. EG can do much better than this!
I recommend this game!

Time for Eipix to Improve Graphics Quality

Eipix has great storylines normally and this game was no exception. However, the cut-scenes and overall graphics quality need to be improved. Often they are just downright "cheesy" and terrible in this game. The graphics resolution seriously lags just about every other developer on BFG.
I don't recommend this game.

The storyline is Ok in this game. Bad graphics, cut scenes and way-too-easy puzzles kill this game. Sorry to say but this will likely be my last EIPIX purchase. I think they could slow down the development process and put a bit more quality and care into their games.
I don't recommend this game.

Many other reviewers have reviewed the overall outline of the game objectives, so I won't rehash them here. I would like to comment on the more "Technical" aspects of the game. I assume this is a small developer, as they don't release a lot of games. That being said, many of the "larger" developers could learn a lot from BN Games. Every game they produce has fantastic graphics with great cut-scenes, excellent VOs, and very nice sound. It seems they care more about the QUALITY of their games, rather than just churning out a new game every 2-3 weeks. My hat is off to them for another well-done game! I only wish more of BFG's developers took the same approach.
I recommend this game!

Eipix usually has fairly solid story lines and this game is just like all of the other Dark Parables in that regards. Where it fails is the cheaply done intro, menu, and cut scenes. They amount to fuzzy moving cutouts and sketches. BF absolutely needs to find a few more "mature" voices for the female characters. The childish, "valley girl" manner of speaking of the younger actors is ruining almost all of the games these days.
I don't recommend this game.

This is actually a fun game with much improved graphics over what ERS used to put out. Kudos to the devs and artists! My only beef with this game is the nearly unbearable "valley girl" voiceovers for the female characters. BFG really needs to improve in this area. This was the first game in which I actually had to turn the sound off because of the voices.
I recommend this game!

I will add my agreement to the other positive reviews that this is indeed a great game. The graphics are outstanding. Elephant Games used to be my favorite developer but their graphics quality have slipped significantly over the past two years. This developer (MadHead) has become my new favorite. I may be a bit old school, but high-end graphics is a must for me. So many BFG developers have moved to a moving still drawing format that I find "cheap". Hats off to the development team for doing such a great job!
I recommend this game!

I really don't like giving bad reviews, as I'm sure a lot of effort goes into creating these games. That being said, I regrettably bought this game without reading any review and, boy, do I wish I could have the money back. This game honestly feels like it was created about 8+ years ago. I'm finally uninstalled it about 1/3 of the way through. I just couldn't finish it. Some may like it, but I do suggest you try it before you buy it!
I don't recommend this game.
