I really did, but I quit before the free trial was over. It was confusing yet not in a challenging way. I can usually play an entire game without using the hint button at all, but I must have used it six or eight time in the short time that I played. The hidden object scenes were just tedious. Obviously, some people liked it, so give it a try, but test it before buying or you might be disappointed.
I don't recommend this game.

Puzzles and mini games are different, but not hard. Lots of choices in the settings. Give the demo a try and decide for yourself.

Great graphics. New mini games. Map makes for easy movement so you don't have to waste time constantly backtracking. As with all games, I suggest playing the demo first to see if it's for you.
I recommend this game!

The twist of your clues moving out of sight and being able to beat the levels by finding the engine clue makes this game a little better than other games in this category. Of course, unless you purchase in-game power ups, you can only play about 6 scenes at a time. I don't know why a person would continue to pay out money in order to keep playing when there are so many games you can buy once and then play as long as you wish without spending any more money.
I don't recommend this game.

This is a great game. Just look at the reviews of the CE. Those who have given it low reviews give almost all games low reviews. Just click on their names and see for yourself.
I recommend this game!

The graphics in this game are so realistic. I enjoyed the storyline and there wasn't too much back and forth, like some games. My only negative is that I wish it was a little longer.
I recommend this game!

If you have very good eyesight and enjoy looking for small, well-blended hidden objects, this may be the game for you. It gave me a headache and I stopped playing after 20 minutes. I did play long enough to do several scenes and several mini-games though. I have played all the previous BCA's and I do believe some of the hidden objects are smaller than previously used, but overall it is the same format. Mini-games are same old, same old. Nothing new here. As another reviewer stated, the postcards shown between each scene are supposed to be artsy, but are merely blurry. Since the are used for the jigsaw puzzles, it is very irritating to the eyes. I would only recommend this game to people who LOVE this format and have very good eyes. You might not have such good eyesight when you are done!
I don't recommend this game.

Graphics were so basic I would have thought this game was made several years ago. There was no creativity in the storyline nor the gameplay. Like one of the other reviewers said, Elvis deserved more than this. Do yourself a favor and at least try the demo before wasting any money or credits on this one.
I don't recommend this game.
