Graphics are decent and colorful. Good storyline. Major drawback was a good deal of backtracking and some of the HO scenes being very dark. I'm playing on a 21" screen, so most objects should be very discernable. They were not. Many times would need to use a hint to find that last one or two objects. Either too dark or too buried or too archaic an item. Believe I found a slingshot that looked like needlenose pliers after using a hint. I'm not afraid of a challenge, but the annoy factor on this one was too great for me. I gave it a 3.25 at best. With over 200 of these in my collection, I know a 4 or 5 when I see it and this doesn't compare.
I don't recommend this game.

Played it twice over a few months. 27 levels. I got seriously bored by level 20. To try and cure my boredom, they made some of the objects so small or ingrained into something else, that I was not only bored, but annoyed. If I had this much difficulty on a 21" screen, can only imagine the frustration trying to find things on smaller screens. Puzzles on levels 17 and 23 (confirmed in forum) were both missing a piece, forcing you to skip and do an alternate HOG. I would really rate a 2.50 due to the glitch and burying some items in the later levels.
I don't recommend this game.
