I have been waiting for MONTHS to get another TM game!! These are my favorite types and BigFish doesn't come out with NEARLY enough of them!!
I am enjoying this game so far (although I am only on the 4th level of play). It's made very nicely and I love how many levels they are!
I went ahead and used one of my free credits to purchase this game, although I had only played a few levels b/c it is the ONLY TM game that has been released in I don't know HOW long! I keep begging for these but they are rarely released! I know that I will have lots of fun playing it.....and HOPEFULLY they will come out with one or two more this month as well!!
Although I am OKAY with the "adventure" type of HO games and I really do love the "hanjie" games (where you have to figure out where the black squares are, according to the numbers provided, in order to make a pic..like my "current fav" below)...they aren't my FAVORITE choice of games. So I am very happy today to receive the game that was released!! WOOT!!
PLEASE PLEASE keep them coming BigFish!! ~:)
I recommend this game!

I am HUGE TM fan and am constantly waiting for DECENT TM games to come out....which they RARELY do. Therefore, I have to look for OTHER games to spark my curiosity while waiting....and Waiting....and WAITING for a TRUE TM game
For ME, these do NOT include the games where you have to build tents/home and run a little village. Those bore the snot out of me. I am talking more about the "Cake Mania" type of games.
In any case, since I RARELY get a decent TM game I have to spend my "credits" on other types of games...before I LOSE them!
9 Elephants is a fun, although repetitive game. Catching the reels of film can become quite difficult at times so you are constantly having to exit rooms and then go back into them so that you can (hopefully) catch it the next time around. It's challenging, but also irritating at times!
Another issue I have with the game is the EXORBITANT amount of dialog! I really couldn't care LESS about all the reading. I skipped over most of it at first b/c I didn't see any point to reading it (like in MOST games where the dialog just isn't necessary). I did start reading close to the end of my "trial version" and it DID explain some things, it was crafty and funny.....but do we really need SO MUCH of it!?! It's like reading a novel with a few little puzzles added in to keep you AWAKE!
So, overall it's a decent game.The puzzles are fun (and what the game is truly all about), the sound and visual quality of the game is great, and the story line is funny and witty (altho as I've stated above, there is WAY too much of it),
I am still debating on whether I want to purchase it or not though (even at a discounted/coupon price or with my FREE credits) b/c I can't yet decide whether I actually like it or not!! If it wasn't for all the reading (even tho I DO love to read)...and popping from place to place trying to "catch" film reels...then I wouldn't have any issues purchasing it. I just don't know if I want to deal with all the NEGATIVES of the game in order to enjoy the positives!

I gave this game only TWO stars!! It would have been rated FIVE stars if I hadn't been totally OVERPRICED!
For a "collectors edition" price I was expecting a LOT more than previous versions of this game. I figured there would be more levels, extra awards and a better challenge.
This game....was MUCH more expensive than previous games (such as Gardenscapes) and yet there was nothing "special" about it at ALL!! It was EXACTLY like the games previously released. It took me one day to complete ALL levels. Heck, I dont even know if it has as many levels as others...it may have had even LESS!
Anyway, I am just very disappointed that this $9.99 game. The game WOULD have been a whopping $12.99-19.99 but it was marked down with the "SUMMER" coupon code and the fact that I am a BigFish member. However, like I have already said, it wasn't ANY better or more challenging than the other $4.99 (with coupon) games the came before it! If I had KNOWN it wouldn't be any better I most DEFINITELY wouldn't have wasted my money on it!! Yes, it was fun...just like the others...but that's the most I can say about it!
DO NOT waste your money on this game. It's not worth the $10-20 price tag!!!
I don't recommend this game.

I normally don't write reviews but I had to put my 2 cents in on this one!! I LOVE this game!! If you enjoy time management games then this is the one for you!! There are (I think) 6 different restaurants. Each restaurant has 24 levels. Each level has THREE parts to it. The first time you play each "day" you get one "crown", then you play it for a second time to get your second "crown". The third time you play (and pass) it, you get your final, BIG crown. Not only do you have to serve everyone in a timely manner and learn a TON of different recipes, but there are specific objectives/tasks that you have to finish...such as doing 12 "tricks" within the level, or serving 8 drinks. You also face a "boss" in the 24th level of each restaurant. During those levels you have to race against the "master chef" and try to make the meals for each customer before HE gets to them and steals your profits!! So alll in all you get around 144 SUPER FUN levels! It provides HOURS of fun and I have had a blast playing it! I love almost all the time management games, but this one is the BEST one that has come out in a very long time! I think it ranks up there with my top 10 Big Fish Games!! If you like these kind of games this is one that is WORTH spending your money (or "points") on!! I give it 2 thumbs WAY up!!! ~:)
I recommend this game!

Although this game could be a BIT more challenging, I am having a lot of fun playing it! I dont really like Hidden Object games...or the Time Management games where you have to build homes and things like that. I prefer the ones where you serve people, etc. However, I am really enjoying THIS game! It's not like any other games (that I have run across) on BigFish which brings up the "fun factor!" It's definitely worth playing it for an hour to see if you enjoy it as much as I do! A refreshing new "twist" on Time Management! ~:)
I recommend this game!

I have had so much fun playing this game. I am one of those gamers who gets really irritated when I don't have a score of "perfect" (or in this case a gold star# so although I have been playing for about 6 hours total, I am only on the second set of games. Some of the levels I have found frustratingly too hard to get a gold star on....but I like the challenge and will figure them out eventually!! I am a BIG time management fan #which Big Fish does NOT have enough of!!# and racing against the clock and this game didn't let me down! I think I have almost every time management game here on Big Fish...other on those really bad few...and although they are all fun, I find that within two days or so I have completed the entire game #with all perfects# and then get let down when I reach the end without the game ever getting hard! With this particular game I foresee many more hours of fun, critical thinking and racing against the clock to win gold before I complete the game. Great game overall! Glad I used my "free game" on it!! ~:)
I recommend this game!
