The reason they "remaster" games is so that it does not show up as already being purchased by you on the page, so you double buy. This happened to me on the bundle page. All the ones I already owned said "you own this" but not the remastered ones so I paid twice for the same game. Sneaky like when they used to punch the game club button for you. I don't like sneaky tactics.

So in response to our comments on how we HATE picking from the story they have made it even longer with more steps.
I love BF games, they are a huge part of my life and I can appreciate all that goes into them. But sometimes I feel like they do cruel things to spite us, and this is one of them.
How do they sell these awful pick your story ones? You would think nobody would buy them so they would stop, not make it worse!

I own more than a few of this series but this one was awfully bland. Personally for me it was the same ol same ol.
Especially annoying was having to do the tasks I don't like in real life and it felt like I was at work. Use the computer, the phone, etc and no fantasy or fun in it even.
Also don't like choosing no special effects but every scene still opens with them. Too much dialogue for my taste. Don't like how there is always an annoying object "bounce" to take another object, it slows down the game play flow.

This is so good!! Challenging but fun puzzles and interesting tasks. It's a brain workout. I didn't even mind that they force the story on you because it's short and you can still play during the narrative. The only thing I can complain about is the back button, just wish you could click the bottom of the screen at all times but hey, no biggie.

I loved it! I think this is one of the best of the series as it was chock full of creative new tasks and mini-games and it held me in suspense throughout. THANKS!

This is usually a favorite series but oh my goodness soooo boring. The only saving grace is the xmas graphics. This game draaaags and gameplay is so slow and with so much constant closing of dialogue I couldn't make myself even finish the demo. Almost every task is way too easy and dull. Sadly, a BIG no for me.

I like speeding through the game so appreciate continuity and easier mini games. I get bored with a lot of story, too much back and forth, tasks that don't make sense and mini games that take too long which force me to skip; this game has none of that. And the flow was on point with lovely graphics. A winner for sure!

Oh my gosh the game sequencing flows so well; not too much story; the graphics are killer; no annoying sound effects or pop up visuals; the game is fast and lots to do that is original. The tasks make sense but not so it's fun to figure them out. GREAT!
This says a lot too since I just visited the ER & after being sent home, a simple blood test cost me a $1000 AFTER insurance & you would think I would HATE seeing a hospital but...the hospital is only the first scene and then it gets good .... think alchemy, tinctures and the like :)
B O R I N G (yaaaaawn). I wanted to give it ZERO stars for once again forcing a story on you, and through text messaging at that! It felt like someone you hate texting you.
I like anything carnival, games, magic etc but this was so convoluted visually and the game moved at a snail's pace with the same old action items disguised by new shapes.
HO HUM, got half way through the demo before I realized I was wasting my coveted weekend with this one.
