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.

Bravo! I know games types are each of our own personal preferences, but my two cents says that there are far too few games like this on Big Fish.
Yeah, variety is good, but there's getting to be too many games with "precious" assistants and low quality graphics on BFG these days.
Well done devs! Awesome game.
I recommend this game!

Elephant Games is my favorite BF developer. The graphics in this game are NOT the usual EG quality. The story and game play are "ok". It seems like every new game from every BF developer sees the overall quality take another step downward. I suppose this increases development speed but, personally, I'm tired of spending money for such poor quality games.

I made the mistake of buying this game without playing the trial. I could only tolerate about 30 minutes of play before I uninstalled it. ERS is a developer that hasn't improved one iota in the past 5 years. Even the music is pretty much the same. This will be my last purchase of their games.
I don't recommend this game.

This game is ok. Nothing spectacular. I would like to comment on something else in this review. I buy most BF games and have been a big fan. It seems that nearly all developers on BFG are now going backwards in terms of graphics quality. Elephant and Eipix are perfect examples. Both had spectacular and continually improving graphics until about a year ago. Now the graphics are looking more cartoonish, especially many of the cut-scenes. I don't know if it's because of a push to develop more games more quickly or what, but I'm not going to keep paying for this low quality. Better games and graphics are to be found elsewhere at comparable prices.
I don't recommend this game.

While I get that everyone has differing preferences, I thought this was a very well-done game. Yes, you have to scroll in the scenes but this makes the game more like high-end and much more expensive adventure games. I thought this was an excellent game on par with other Elephant Games stories. One aside not speaking to this game specifically...I really do wish Elephant would go back to incorporating live action sequences into their games like they did in the past. I thought that gave them a much more realistic and quality feel. Many of the purely CGI cut-scenes used in their newer games have a very unrealistic, mechanical feel.
I recommend this game!

Nearly all of the developers on BFG improve with time...Elephant, Eipix, Mad Hat, etc. ERS just seems to be stuck. I wish they would accidentally delete all traces of the music soundtrack that they've used in every game for 4+ years now. While the graphics in this game show early signs of improvement, ERS graphics are mostly stuck in the same cartoon-character quality since they began. They have some great ideas but the music and graphics usually kill them immediately.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a great and well-done game. This games gets much closer to the older more "high-end" adventure games. The graphics are fantastic and most of the voice overs are good too (ok - the lead character voice needs work). However, I highly recommend this game.
I recommend this game!
