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!

I love BFG; however, uut of all the developers on BFG, ERS is the only one who never seeks to improve. The music is only slightly different than the same music they were using 4 years ago. Graphics continue to look like childish drawings and now they've even removed voice-overs. Great job ERS on your continued regression.
I don't recommend this game.

My hat is off to the developers of this game. With so many new games constantly hitting the market, I'm sure producing something different gets harder and harder with time. The developers, however, succeeded on this one. I love jazz and New Orleans and the music and setting definitely added greatly to this game. Thanks to the devs for a job well-done!
I recommend this game!

There seems to currently be a race to the bottom in graphics quality going on for most of the games on Big Fish these days. Even the larger developers such as Elephant Games (which is typically my favorite) is now going backwards in terms of quality of graphics. Elephant, please let this be a one time occurrence. Even the earliest releases from Elephant didn't have graphics this bad.

I'm sorry to be negative, but this was worst game I've played in several years. The graphics were ancient and childish. I purchase and play the majority of the adventure games on Big Fish, but even as a free game this was a waste.
I don't recommend this game.

Ok, this is primarily a puzzle game. The difficulty level was about right for me....challenging yet they didn't feel impossible. There was subtle humor built into the story also when you clicked incorrectly and there was also a friendly jab at other game adventure game styles.
All in all, this was a SE game that was every bit as good as any of the CE games that I've played. (OK, I don't care about awards and bonus chapters myself)
Give it try!
I recommend this game!
