When i first saw this, i was a little confused as BF had classed it as Match 3 yet it looked like a HO game. Well it is both. A prima opera singer has been murdered and you are the detective who has to find the killer. Except for some reason, every now and then there are a series of Match 3 games. All you get after these is a 'vinyl' so you can listen to opera. Not really worth the effort as the match 3's are a trifle dull. The graphics are good, and the music is ok if you keep the music up #which i dont# but the game in a bit confused and not much fun.
I don't recommend this game.

I love Youda games as they are always easy to play. This game fits their mould perfectly, addictive but simple. I awalys want to play just one more level. not sure bout the storyline as i skipped it, but you dont really need it to play. Pretty much all you do is make things off a conveyor belt! love it
I recommend this game!

the first thing that struck mr when i loaded this game was the graphics. They truely are awesome and well worth a download. The game itself is a little bit clunky and it is easy to miss things that you need to continue on.
The VO can be skipped which always a bonus and the HOS are fairly challenging, although the accompaning 'ding' when you find an item is very annoying.
There are some extra concepts which are different like the fact that you earn coins with every HOS depending on how long each takes you. There is a chance to spend these later.
As i said before though, it is the graphics tha make this game a must

After a very dry spell of decent games big fish has finally given us a good game. You play a music teacher whose pupil has gone missing.
The graphics are awesome and the sound is also good, although i play with the music off. The HOS are clear although on occasions you have to move things to find other objects.
The puzzles are the the main reason i haven't given this game 5 stars. Not only are they too complicated, the instructions are pencil drawings which don't make a lot of sense.
All in all a really good game and worth getting

The idea of this game is that you are finding out if a woman's boyfriend is cheating on her so quite a fresh idea. Every new scene that you enter is a HOS but this is also different. THe clues are drawings which you then have to i.d. and find, although the items are labelled as well. the one item that you get can then be used somewhere to interact.
there is also a map which means you can travel to different scenes without all the too and froing.
sadly, the game has very little variation, so by the time i was on my 7th or 8th HOS in 30 minutes i was beginning to get a little bored. The puzzles are not taxing and the items are easy to find, but it just was not enough of a challenge.i won't be getting this game, but it is perfect for someone who wants repitition and very little challenge.

The opening sequence was not bad and the idea of a ghost witch was quite a change. the graphics were pretty good and the sound was also good.
ok those were the good points. The first HOS was using shadows and they were so light it was hard to work out what you were looking for. You also had to move things, but there was no indication of what you had to move so i ended up clicking aimlessly. the characters had no life to them and completly let the background down. magnifying glasses came up everywhere encouraging you to look... at nothing. it was stilted, dull and boring. Sorry but not a chance.

The opening storyline looked like a film beginning but sadly what came after it was not up to scratch. The first challenge i could not even complete as what i was meant to do could not even be done. The first HOS was so tricky that i gave up. I managed to play about 10 minutes of it, but i wont be finishing the demo. Very disappointing from a hopeful start.
I don't recommend this game.

when this game started it looked like it was going to be good. However, in the first few minutes i had 2 quite tricky HOS and not a lot else. The objects in the HO were difficult to find and the temptation just to hit hint was very high.
When my character got on the island, the was a scene which was dull and the VO could not be rushed through After walking back and for a few times i gave up as i really did get caught up in the game. on the plus side, the graphics are pretty good.
not for me

when i first loaded this game, i thought the graphics looked awesome. Then my 'friend' started talking and my opinion diminished somewhat. The characters look very robot-like which is shame considering that the scenery is amazing.
The HOS were pretty easy, which i have to admit i enjoy, and the puzzles, although a bit more challenging are completable. What baffles me is why i have a talking flower to help me and give me hints, but as i only played the demo, I suppose all might be revealed. Something also tells me that there is going to be a lot of footwork in this game.
pretty good, but not as good as some games that have been out lately

I loved this game. Basically it involves using plants to shoot bugs that want to eat your strawbwerries. It really is not as easy as it sounds. You have to use different plants and any money you gain from your strawberries can be used to upgrade plants. There are also 'big boss' levels which are equally challenging. There are also 3 levels of diffculty which is a bonus.
All in all an addictive game
