I am very good at HOGs, so tried this one....Gorgeous scenes; however, it was timed (hate) & beyond difficult. I play to relax & it dang failed me! Dumb of me to buy before trying. Don't make my mistake.
I don't recommend this game.

I love HOGs, but this one gives you virtually nothing to go on. I'm not a stupid person, but Sphera made me feel like I was. Absolutely no idea what you were supposed to do most of the time. Back & forth from just a few sites over & over & over. Graphics were nice, but that was all. So disappointed. Wouldn't take it if it were free.
I don't recommend this game.

Gorgeous artwork, lousy directions; all you do is guess, point & click,(repeat, repeat, repeat) with NO clue where you're going, what you're supposed to find or what it has to do with the price of tea in China. Gets you interested, then leaves you in the proverbial dark closet. So very disappointed.
I don't recommend this game.

No reviews that I saw said it was timed! I never would have even tried it if I'd known; I play to relax, not get my gut in a twist. So disappointing! There's so few really good PUZZLES...dang.
I don't recommend this game.

Cute idea. Improvements: auto-fill in when your row is done, differing challenges. Maddening! that at times when I clicked the correct button on the correct square, it gave me a gray "x", which changed to red when I hit a really wrong button! What's up, dev's???? I love to figure each out, but this just spoiled it for me. Don't know if I'll buy it, but very iffy.
I don't recommend this game.

Hogs are my favorite & I'm reasonably good at them; I tried this one first (always!) due to the beautiful graphics. However, by 10 minutes into the game, I was cross-eyed trying to find the itty-bittty, hopelessly blurred ho's. So very frustrating! I rarely have to use the hints, but had to on every scene on this one. Skip it unless your masochistic. Definitely do NOT recommend this game.
I don't recommend this game.

Run, don't walk from this one. Five minutes in & I was seriously P.O'd. Shame on Nat. Geo! This had the possibilities of alot of fun. However, when playing in relaxed mode & clicked 3 times (only!) I got a nasty pop-up saying "Clicking on multiple places does NOT help me!" Well same to you! What a rude comment. Made me uninterested in bothering further. Hint button useless. Would have given it a zero star if possible.There's lots of games out there that have this one beaten hands-down. YUCK!
I don't recommend this game.
