I wrapped this one up in less than 2 hours. Sure glad I got it on a daily deal and didn't pay full price. Very little challenge, but easy on the eyes. Wish it had been longer.
I don't recommend this game.

Yes, this game has lots of puzzles, but it's not JUST puzzles as some have stated. I enjoyed the puzzles, as well as the 2 different styles of HOS - one where you have to find objects and the other where you place objects where they belong. There was more backtracking than I like and 2 of the puzzles were repeated several times throughout the game, but there was certainly enough variety among the remaining puzzles. It took me several sessions of play to complete the game making it significantly longer than most games. Give the demo a try; I think you'll like it.
I recommend this game!

This game has a lot to offer: great graphics; unique mini-games with just the right amount of challenge; side quests that win trophies; interactive hidden object scenes. Most of the time, once I've finished a game I am done with it, but I look forward to playing this one again.
I recommend this game!

I played this game to the end, but I really wanted to quit about half way through. The storyline was dumb and the cut scenes dragged on and on. The graphics were drab and uninteresting and the hidden object scenes were just boring. I had to use the hint on several of them as at least one item would be impossible to identify clearly. I can usually tell from the demo if a game is going to be good, but this one fooled me.
I don't recommend this game.

I love dogs and really looked forward to this one. After playing the demo, it definitely looked promising. There was a somewhat lifelike dog that you interact with initially, but after that real dogs didn't play much of a part. Of course, you don't discover that until after you have purchased the game and gone past the time period of the demo.
What really turned me off though, was the excessive backtracking. I think this game has more backtracking than any game I've ever played.
The HOS were just okay, nothing special. The mini-games were somewhat unique, but most had very little challenge.
The bonus play in the CE was a very necessary part of this game's storyline. If not for that, the ending would have been a big letdown. The bonus play was a good length and, I think, more enjoyable than the base game, but it did end abruptly.
There are dozens of better games on BF that I would recommend over this one, but I still recommend this one if you have run out of other games to play.
I recommend this game!

The graphics on this game remind me of games from 10+ years ago. Compared to Fishdom, this game just doesn't measure up. At the very least, play the demo and decide for yourself.
I don't recommend this game.

I just completed the demo, which took me 48 minutes. I will definitely be buying this one. I actually enjoyed not being slowed down by HO scenes for a change. The puzzles are fun; not too challenging yet, but one of the reviews stated that they do get more challenging as the game goes on. You should at least give the demo a try with this one!
I recommend this game!

I've only played the demo, but it completely lived up to the other Snark Busters games so far. Somebody's review said that there were no skip buttons. There are and they are right there at the bottom of each puzzle. The photo manipulation was kind of tricky until I got the hang of it, but that's half the fun isn't it? I'm enjoying the colorful graphics and just the right amount of challenge.

I love the show and was looking forward to playing this game, but I was greatly disappointed. The entire game had a dated feel to it, like a HOG from 10 years ago. It was stilted and slow-moving with very little challenge. They did not capture the unique personalities of the Criminal Minds cast at all. I would not waste my time nor money on this game.
I don't recommend this game.

One of My Favorites

This is one of very few games that I have played more than twice. The hidden object scenes are creative and unique, not too difficult, but enough of a challenge that you don't just zip through them. The mini-games are also fun and different than what you see over and over again in these type of games. Whoever created this game has an awesome sense of humor!
I recommend this game!
