Wow! This game is awesome. I normally only go for the straight forward HOGs. I've never come across any others that I liked until now. I've played the 1st hour & am on my way to buy this game. So far, I haven't been lost or just completely puzzled as to where, what, or how to do the next thing & I haven't even used a hint yet. The graphics are great. I mute the sound & skip the story, so I can't comment on that part, but I can comment on the puzzles. There is a greater variety of new, old, & different puzzles so far than in any game I've seen. The HOGs are clear & just hard enough to be fun. Give this game a try even if it's not your normal cup of tea. You might just discover, as I am, that a different flavor of tea can be quite exciting.
I recommend this game!

I loved this game. It's pretty much a straight up HOG which is what I like. The graphics are great. I mute the sound & skip the story so I can't comment on either. The game wasn't short in length but could have been longer.
I recommend this game!

I loved this game. I like straight hogs and that's what this is. Instead of listing the items in text it shows illustrations. This is the 1st game of that type that I have liked. Even though the puzzles are fairly easy they're still fun and entertaining. I disagree w/ other reviewers on the level of experience needed. It's too advanced for children & would be challenging to a beginner.
I recommend this game!

I found this game to be more irritating than anything else. It was the type of game that wants to offer hints whether you want them or not. Then there's the constant skip button which has to be hit over & over.
I don't recommend this game.

I like straight up HOGs. That's exactly what this one is. There's plenty of mini puzzles. I really like the fact that the mini puzzles & HOG scenes don't seem to repeat.
I recommend this game!

I was really disappointed after playing this game for a while. Big City Adventure games have always been a favorite of mine, so when I saw this game I purchased it right away. Play the demo? No need, these games are always great. Well, I guess I learned a valuable lesson. There is a very good reason for the demo version. This game just did not live up to its counter parts. The hidden object scenes weren't as well done as in the past. The puzzles are the same short easy boring kind. I had thought they would be introducing some new puzzles by now. I also thought the hidden object scenes could only get better and better with their experience. Instead I think they must have had a contest to see who could make the fastest copy of their past games.
I don't recommend this game.

I loved the demo so much that I just bought the game. I love the variety of HOGs and puzzles. The hints seem to be plentiful. Even though some items are a little difficult to find, you can take your time without the game trying to force the answer on you. There's a journal to tell you your tasks and a map to show you the layout.
I will warn you that if it is the storyline that you're interested in then my review won't help you. I'm basically into Hogs and puzzles. I mute the sound before I even start the game and I hit skip as soon as it appears during conversations.
I recommend this game!

I loved the assortment of puzzles and hidden object scenes that this game offered. The riddle hidden object scenes were a nice change of pace. During the demo, which I just finished, the puzzle type never repeated. I like going from one puzzle or scene to the next. If you're into the storyline and sound, I can't help you. I mute the sound and hit skip as soon as it appears, but if you are just in it for the puzzles and searches then you will get your moneys worth out of this one. I have just purchased this game and haven't played past the demo time yet, but the demo has been worth the price alone.
I recommend this game!
