Good Parts:
The way the game was set out was absolutely great. Play a few Hidden Object Scenes. beat them wihin the time limit, play a puzzle and aquire an "escape item".
I really liked the Hidden Object Scenes. With other games, that sort of scene infruates me, but it seemed to sui tis particular game perfectly. I liked the challenge they presented.
The game was very fun to play
The graphics were clear and modern, with some great designs.
Not much of a story to go by, but what they gave you was pretty good.
The game is based on a points sysem. Finding an object gives you points, usinga hint takes points. This was great.
The way the game put "locks" in to it was great.
The hint recharges very, very fast!

OK Parts:
The puzzles. Some, like the match 3, I really enjoyed, (and I mean REALLY enjoyed) but others, such as the rotating pieces, just annoyed me.
Would've been better had there been more of a story.

Bad Parts:
The wording of some of the objects. e.g. "Measures lengths", "Hits home runs" etc. I didn't understand why the game had to make things more complicated, and couldn't just say "Baseball bat" and "Ruler".

That was the only bad thing I could say about this game. I wanted to play it over and over again. I really enjoyed it and it will bring great fun to anyone who buys it!
I recommend this game!

Like I mentioned before. I would've liked to have had some voiceovers in the game.
There should've been a few puzzles at least.

Bad Parts:
The game really needs a strategy guide. I spent ages figuring out what to do next and always needed to use the hint.
I didn't like the Hidden Object Scenes that much. The objects were too hard to find and I'd always use the hint.

Overall, a decent game, but not one that's going to have me rushing to get out the credit card. Download the trial and see what you think.
I recommend this game!

Despite not liking the first two Be Rich games, this one was actually really good!
Good Parts:
The gae had a storyline and it was actually really good!
Unlike the first 2, the game was really fun to play.
The goals were a great challenge.
The clicking systemto get rid of robbers/rats etc was great.
The villa and mega blueprints were good.
Havng new goals added to old levels was awesome, making the game extra fun.
Unlike the first 2, there seemed to be no pressure in the game.
Getting new goals in the middle of a level made it even more fun to play.

The game is very repetitive with almost no variation. This is a shame, and the 4th game (if there is one) should work on this!

I was excited to play this game, but it was incredibly boring.
Good Parts:
Good graphics. Need a little improvement, but they're clear and have some good designs.
I liked the intro and the story, but they really needed some voice-overs.

Tutorial was included, but it was slow and was not very useful.
Bad Parts:
For a so called "Hidden Object Game" I did not encounter ONE hidden object scene. This was really dissapointing and angered me for I wasted my time on this!
No puzzles were included.
The game is in desperate need of a strategy guide. It was really hard to figure out what to do next and the hint wasn't helpful at all. Whenever I used, it, it just highlighted an area and said "You need to do something here" and when I got there, I had no idea what to do, so I'd have to wait for the hint to recharge and use it again, and only then would I know what to do.
All the game seemed to be was just wandering around, back and forth. This frustrated me and made the game really boring.
Added to all this, the hint took too long to recharge as well!

I'm sorry, but this game is just a disgrace! It's terrible. Don't waste your time.
I don't recommend this game.

I have both other Gutterball games, and was excited to try this game, but it was a total DISASTER!!!
Good Parts:
Great graphics
Power-ups were great

OK Parts:
Not much of a challenge. Only to position the ball right.

Bad Parts:
Did not understand the use of the Golden Pins. They were used as a currency to buy stuff which annoyed me, because I liked the old way of unlocking things
Limit of only 5 profiles.
Unable to play against a computer. This was really annoying and made the game VERY boring!!!
They've removed the "mouse steering" from the game. The ony way to activate it is to turn it on when you create the profile.
Tutorial was not needed and was SUCH a bore! Seriously! I quit halfway through!!!!

Overall, the game is a complete and utter fail. Do not play this game, play Gutterball 2 instead as it is much better.
I don't recommend this game.

The sequel to Be Rich, the game is a little boring and another case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"
Good Parts:

Able to appoint managers for your company

Don't know why they changed so much about this game. It's very disappointing and I certainly won't be playing number 3.

The sequel to feeding frenzy is just as fun as the original!!!
Good Parts:
The bonus levels were very cool, and fun.
The game is actually one of the most fun to play. It's very cool and great for children, or adults de-stressing after a hard days' work!
The game is a great challenge. I died more times than I care to admit, but this is what made it so great.
The bug levels added are so much fun. This is a brilliant move by Popcap as it was definitley the best part of the game!!
Graphically, the game is great. It's very modern, clear and lots of great designs in there too. So much better than the last game.
The mermaid at the end of each level.

My favourite developer gives me another brilliant game. I simply loved it.
Good Parts:
Excellent. realistic, very well-desiged graphics.
Loved the storyline. Intro was like watching a movie.
Really liked the Hidden Object Scenes and the challenge they presented. Interactive object were fun, as well as needing to use an item from your inventory.
Hint recharged very, very fast.
The skip was there almost instantly, no need to even try and attempt the puzzles.
Excellent cutscenes.
Ecellent soundtrack.

Obvious what to do next.
