This was the game one has been holding their breath for a long while to come along! Did not want the demo to end.
Graphics were done so well it was like u were into the moment and nothing else existed around you.
Voiceovers were 'spot on' and have to admit was the first time in a long while that I was pulled in to 'watching' every word spoken.
Storyline was one that made a person want to be the one to actually answer 'I am the one to Help!'
Played casual and that was enough challenge at the moment but this is a 'go back to' to challenge ones self.
Absolutely loved the H0 scenes where u actually gather items that u will be using rather than point'n'click.
Fun all the way through because to me wanting to get into the next scene and discover the complete beauty of the area. AAAA+
Oh! will not give up all the 'good points' since am going to purchase and probably find much more.
Thx to dev's for a 'amazing' game and to BFG, makes all this time waiting worth it!
Five stars with two thumbs up and a PLUS! Beautifully done game and you just 'GOTTA TRY IT!.

Reveiw is on demo but that is the usual place to decide. This was a refreshing change and must state a challenge for me. Have not played any other 'Rita Adventures' so really enjoyed the whole idea of a trio of 'drawn cartoon characters' and of course the 'crazy monkey'!
That said the storyline was as the title stated and done well as it kept me interested to find out 'what is next'? Game does make you do some thinking but must read what is explained. Liked the map area with task to do and checked off, quite unique. Audio was appropriate for the area of country being explored and frankly not annoying. Graphics were defined but in some area on the dark side making some things harder to find. No sparkles which are o.k. if game has them or not but when none, that make you have to 'go to the thinking cap' part of brain and a challenge IMO.
Was amazed when time was up, Oh NO!... and now will be one game as a got to 'buy'. Just have to find out what this 'trio' will be up to as they progress to Shangri La. Its four stars here and will say 'try it'! Laughter is good for you!

This review is on the demo and I must say I was wanting it to continue on...yes I did! First I am a old western fan country gal and this was a refreshing change in a game.That said...
the graphics were quite 'awesome', clear and colorful, very rustic as you would expect the Wild West to be viewed. The audio was O.K. not one I left turned up but not annoying. The storyline was a typical 'save the kid' but little Billy was so adorable that who would not want to do so! Lots of dialogue which can do the 'O.K.' if you are a speed reader. Only one place for 'hints' and that was the H0 scenes, puzzles are easy !...and yes there was items that were not related or invented at this time period but its just in a game!
I must buy!...It would be great for the young ones, those experts would 'zoom' through and I consider myself an 'intermediate' but felt an 'advanced' player..WooWhoo!...luved it!
Now it may seem short game and that is alright because some games are way to long but is great for a change up, quick weekend fun, even shared with an 'eagle eyed' child!...all IMO.
All you can do it try it..but I am off to buy it!

I was taken away from real life for three days and three hours of 'sleep'...no Joke!
First I am not a good or expert on anything with 'strategy in the play!...Found thru the chat forum on a 'post' by another gamer and told myself...Must Try!...and so happy I did, it was worth all that time spent. It's a game from 2008 and have to state that the 'designer, developer, etc' must have been a little ahead in creating this wonderful and replayable game.
If you enjoy puzzles, mini games that move around blocks, moving items to fit a box, etc... this is the one to try. Its just done on a graphic platform of great quality set in different places of the universe #mountains, snow, volcano, forest, etc#, storyline that fits up right to the end, has a few 'rainbow' stars if you want extra challenge to your 'strategic' skills...in one game! Of course there is a 'but' which is the audio, not as bothersome as other games I have played, turned down and really was so into game that can not tell you what was the 'music'!
At the end #no spoiler here# there is a VIEW button which is so 'wonderful' to see all the hard work one has done!
Loved the 'zoom' feature and if you have game and not tried it...well, the characters are quite fantastic to watch and funny!
In my opinion am giving it a "FIVE STAR PLUS+"

I am pretty happy about finding this 'treasure of a game' from a post in the CCC forum...Yes, it was another members first ever game purchase and there was only 'joy of playing' in there words...so of course I had to check it out!
Have a big load of HOG purchased but always looking for a 'fun' M3 to play when I have to had a 'brain drain' moment.
The game is a simple M3 with a given challenge at each 'chapter'...there are the characters that make you laugh....there is islands and you get to pick the name...if you use a moment to strategy it will benefit you time....and even though timed, which is basically what I consider quite enough to not make the game a 'flustrating mess of wanting to pull your hair out!'....enough said...I am going back to have some simple F.U.N.!
Five Start +

Have been a avid viewer of the show on TV for years....also into collecting old, antique and memorabilia...and now what fun to be able to share with these amazing characters at any time and play.
Storyline is similar to the show...althrough the game there is the familiar remarks but not annoying....music is not boring...and...if into the HOG genre will be of course the 'norm' of pick and find with a 'twist' .... some items are more in value of course than others...am off to buy!
Yes was only a 'demo' but held my interest...four star +

What else to say but 100% different than the first game that came out...yes pulled the oldie from purchase history...played a while, well there is no comparison...IMO...this one topped it!...Lots of interactive 'to do', used to 'cringe' at cartoon characters but not this one, all were quite the 'scruff lot of uniqueness'....did have a 'sort of ' moment of getting used to actually 'finiding hidden objects' again but made the ole 'scruff' dog do some work and he was a 'eye candy' to just watch....so what I did lose some time watching but even though just did 'demo' knew this would be a BUY!..even the grandkid wants to play (now that is a plus, getting her away from the phone texting!)...so its a holiday and off to have some good 'gaming' with this game...thanks BFG and to the developers, life needs some humor, giggles and laughing!

I was totally excited that Big City Adventure games now had a story...of course I have purchased Big City games but this one is by far quite a 'brain thinker'...not just H0 scenes...and must congrates the department on the graphics which were five star...I enjoyed learning about all the sites in England and being a 'history buff' I read all...after you get the hang of the 'map' and the 'walkthrough' its easy to get around ... IMO...the 'mini puzzles' are different than the average set in a game and a bit of a challenge for me....all wrapped up its a 'four star +' game!
I recommend this game!

Am coming in late to review but purchased while on 'sale' and just snuck in some time to play between class and homework!...but...was worth it...
First....was not crazy about there being a sequel when I got to 'the end'...WHY?...b/c I wanted more game!
Second...the graphics were superb, detail each scene...the puzzles were 'easy', the storyline was consistent, the H0 scenes were for the time period -learned a lot of different items that were vintage!-...BUT...the music!...so glad it changed about midway thru to a more 'haunting' then an 'agressive' irratainting pounding of ???...cannot remember b/c was concentrating on the 'where to go'!
Third...yes wore out a 'pair of running' shoes...wished it had the feature on map to just a 'go to'....so it was a long game for me.
Rating it a 4 star + game!
What intriqued me most was reading the spells and putting together potions...and at least the 'bodies' looked more 'cursed zombie' then dead!...a plus.
Yes!...woowhoo!...great game....just TRY IT!

First I do not own a lot of so-called 'spooky' games...but...was chatting in the CCC during the 'sale' and saw a recommendation for this game. Listed as spooky?... So off to try. And yes I am a H0G addict, but have been on a hunt and search for a more fast moving challenge.
Now I am 'hooked' on this game.
It is by far fun, graphic is done so well its like being there in the scenes, music is totally 'tune in and enjoy', had the storyline with even an 'evil' witch!....and...Yes there is strategy, challenge, H0, puzzles and STD's.
I will give this a... 5 star + ...game!
For a beginner it would be awesome and expert may not find that challenge...maybe? I am 'in between' and this game made me feel like I was the expert!...Anyway must thank the 'dev' group on creating an enjoyed game and also BFG for offering such a great M3.
Replayable....well a big....YES!
I recommend this game!
