This game was satisfactory. Here are my thoughts on the game:
Good Parts:
Great storyline
Inventory of things you need
A break from the dark crime solving games
Quick hint recharge

This has got to be one of the most unique games I've ever played. It's quite fun. Here are my thoughts:
Good Parts:
Thrilling Storyline
How finding the hidden objects resulted in an item being made
Easy puzzles
Quick hint recharge
The click penalty had no effect
One of the most unique hidden object games

Bad Parts
Using the Skip button disabled the Hint button for 5 minutes. I get we should have SOME penalty, but FIVE MINUTES without a Hint button!? That's way too much
When I used a hint in a place where I could do nothing, instead of pointing an arrow to where I needed to go, like some games, it just said "There is nothing I can do here"
My demo ran out wit 12 minutes left of my free trial, giving me the indication the game was a quick one

I recommend this game!

This game was not very good. It lacked the one most important thing a game should have: An excellent storyline. Here are my thoughts on the game:
Good Parts:
You got to switch between the characters
Easy puzzles
The unscramble the word thing to find an object

Bad Parts:
Slow hint recharge
Every time I clicked to go to the apartment, it took me inside the police station!
When I clicked "hint" and I wasn't in a hidden object scene, it would give me clues as to how to solve an objective rather as to where to go or what to do next
When I clicked on hint to find out how to solve an objective, it got rid of it once I exited, so it was like I wasted the hint.

This game lacked the excitement I was looking for. I didn’t really enjoy it. Here are my thoughts on the game:
Good Parts:
Great storyline
Built-In Strategy Guide
Quickly recharging hint

The hint told you exactly what you needed to do, but on the flip side, didn’t tell you how to get to the place you needed to go

Bad Parts:
Wasn’t very enjoyable
The amount of things that needed you to find two parts
The Puzzles- They were extremely annoying and it took the skip a while to warm up

I don't recommend this game.

I couldn’t find a fault with this game. It’s simply amazing. Here are my thoughts on the game:
Good Parts:
Thrilling storyline
Interactive Hidden object scenes
The hint was very quick to re-charge. It was almost as if I had never used it
You can play mah-jong to remove the hidden objects instead of finding them

Bad Parts:
I finished the demo before the free trial ran out. That gave me an indication that the game would be finished a little too quickly.
Unlike the hint button, the Skip took forever to recharge so I was just sitting there waiting

Apart from these very small laws, this game was very enjoyable. I don’t hesitate to recommend it and will definitely be buying it.

This game proves you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. I saw the concept and I was like "How boring!" but I played it and it was amazing! Here are my thoughts on the game:
Good Parts:
Great storyline. Simillar to Wedding Dash 2: Rings Around the World
Very good challenge
Printable recepies

There wasn’t really much to enjoy about this game. After all the positive reviews I thought it might be fun. Here are my thoughts on the game:
Good Parts:
The Super-Bug
The 2 bonus levels and the end of each set of levels
Gold rings and the alphabet thing
Making 3 bubbles at the opening menu entertained me for a while

My mum and I discovered this game while on holidays and I was hooked! It's a great game
Good Parts
A virtual tour of Sydney (we decided to book a holiday there after playing this)
Lots of levels
Very Addictive. I've played it through 3 times
The Skip button for those annoying minigames
A break from all the crime solving HOG

Of all the Big City Adventure games, this has to be my favourite. It got me hooked and I couldn’t stop playing it. Here are my thoughts on the game:
Good Parts
Most objects were easy to find, which is ideal, if you’re inpatient like me
It was a virtual tour of San Francisco
The little prizes you got at the end of the round
It was addictive- I kept telling myself “I’ll stop after this round” and I just kept on going
No BORING opening scene for once
The postcards at the beginning
