This was hands down the worst game I've ever completed. It was a complete insult to my intelligence and to anything resembling logic. A pre-kindergartener could probably complete this game with no problems. Needless to say, I don't recommend it in any way.
I don't recommend this game.

This is one of the best games ever done on BFG...if not THE best! The graphics, the story, the characters, the voice-overs...everything was famtastic. I can only wish that one day BFG will go back to putting out games of this caliber again. I give your giving this at least a trial my strongest suggestion...and enjoy!
I recommend this game!

Elephant Games was once my favorite developer, primarily due to the graphics in their games and the great stories they created. I bought this game but then immediately wished that I hadn't. The graphics have become cartoons (why are all of the devs on BFG doing this??) The story was nearly nonsense. I have been playing games from this dev recently from just 2 years ago and it's amazing how bad the graphics and stories have become in just that period. Elephant, you can do much better than this.
I don't recommend this game.

Mad Head seriously needs an upgrade in it's games. The graphics look like a cartoon. The storyline is really bad and the game is just boring as heck. I uninstalled the trial in less than 20 mins and have no inclination to get this even as a freebie. As always, trial it. You might like it.
I don't recommend this game.

5-BN is a developer that has resisted the cut in quality of most BFG developers over the years and I hope this continues. Everything about this game is fantastic...graphics, storyline, challenge, and pace. They've also deepened the color scheme over the prior games which definitely gives it a greater richness. My hat is off to them for this excellent game. Give it a try. I think you'll like it!

I didn't expect a lot from this game as I'm not the world's biggest fan of this developer. That said, I was pleasantly surprised with the game play. There were a lot of hidden object scenes but they did them well by NOT making them the usual junk piles. The way they did these is much like the early BFG games. The one area where this developer could use some improvement is the cartoonish graphics, which takes away most of the "creep" factor that they are attempting to put into the game.

I don't like putting down developers, but GrandMa really needs to "up its game." The most recent games just seem cheesy. That's the only word that fits. The graphics are way too much like cartoons. I miss the days when BFG had games with 3d graphics. I uninstalled this within 10 mins of trialing it. As always, demo it before buying to see if your cup of tea or not.
I don't recommend this game.

This game was so badly done, I didn't last even 15 minutes before uninstalling. It seems each new Mad Head game gets worse than the ones before. They are really just still images with the same tired mechanics in each game. The female voice overs in this game were also like the proverbial fingers down a chalk board and most amateurs could have done a better job of showing emotion. I don't recommend this game and I highly suggest a trial before buying it.

Elephant really dropped the ball on this game. Normally, this series is really well-done, but this time too many corners were cut. The graphics quality was really badly done compared to prior installments and most of the voice-overs were unbearably bad. (Just a hint Elephant, a woman in her 60s won't have vocal fry!) If this is a sign of where this series is going, then it will be yet another for trash pile.
I don't recommend this game.

I thought the story in this game was one of the best that Eipix has done in quite some time. Although the color palette was a little off-putting at the start, I quickly realized it was a good choice for the story. Puzzles could have been a tad more challenging but I have no regrets in buying the game. Give it a trial to see if it's your cup of tea or not.
I recommend this game!
