After giving just 2 stars for the CE I now find myself giving 5 stars for this one which is the same game without all the thrills. Why you may ask. Well There are no annoying blue arrows in this game and I just could not enjoy the other game with that going on. It now feels so different despite being the same. I will now buy this. You still need to find the puzzle pieces so for those who were put off by the blue arrows (reminds me of the blue meanies from Yellow Submarine) I think you will enjoy this
I recommend this game!

I found this game very challenging and loved all the puzzles. A bit baffled by some reviews which states the game is too short. Maybe they mean the Demo as I found it very long and enjoyable. It is in 5 parts and you could easily think that the game has ended but then you move to the next chapter so maybe that is it? I liked that the hint just told you to go and look here or there and did not sparkle where the next object was which most hints do. It made me think. I do not like Hogs but persevered with them as the rest of the game is so good. At the end of the day we all have different tastes and some will not like this and some will as these reviews show. I for one thoroughly enjoyed it
I recommend this game!

I have the first game in this series and enjoyed it but this is the 4th in this series and in my opinion its a repeat of all the others with very little difference. What I did like was the buttons feature. I do not think it is worth the extra for a CE and maybe if you like the demo then wait for the SE. Did not like the graphics but that is personal choice
I don't recommend this game.

One thing that I so miss on here is tower defense, ok this is not tower defense however it is totally different from what is usually offered on here and it is great to have a change.My demo finished so quick and I just had to get this .This has great graphics, excellent tutorial and if you enjoy a shootup challenge then this will be just right.Will not suit everyone but I just wanted a change from the norm that BFG offers

I enjoyed the demo but even though I liked it will wait for the SE to come out. Unusual for a TM this game had a 90 mins demo so was able to get a fair way in to the game
I recommend this game!

On the whole I am not a lover of hops at all ,however this developer has changed my view on that .I now have most Five BN games now and in my mind this is the best,the others are amazing too but this pips them all.Of course it's not all about the hops with plenty of puzzles, mini games, storyline etc Its incredibly well thought out and show they care about their games as opposed to others that just tweak their games slightly. I cannot fault anything about this apart from the time it took to download the game but at 1.3gb that's going to take some time so be prepared for that.
Enjoy

Following on from the previous game in this series plus the recent Alicia Quarteman which is from the same developer I feel they have tripped up here. I apologise for only 2 stars but this game virtually plays itself and the strategy guide has been replaced by an awful interactive guide that gives you blue arrows to advise you what to do next. arrrgh. I want a challenge not to be told the next move and as far as I can see there is no way to remove these blue arrows. When you are paying twice as much for a CE you expect something better than this. Some will like this and it is not a bad TM game if you are new to this genre . Please play the demo and decide for yourselves. I would not advise buying this straight off without the demo
I don't recommend this game.

I have demoed several of this developers games and not bought one. In my opinion they are all very similar with no real challenge at all. If you have the first one of this series I would think very carefully before buying this but try the demo before you decide. One good thing I liked about it was you can skip the hogs lol. Apologies to those whom like hogs but I am not a fan at all. We all have different tastes. Don't let this put you off please try it first
In this time management classic, stop a mad scientist who's replicating the most destructive forces in nature!

I have all these games and enjoy them all and I felt that the last one was not much of an improvement in fact I thought it got easier. I still enjoyed it though. Now this one in my opinion is far better than 8, more of a challenge with lots of new twists on things. Although you do get more money when you upgrade you also get more resources at a lower amount in a shorter time ie you get 15 units every 15 seconds then 20 units every 20 seconds which earns you more but at the moment there seems to be less buildings to build. A new addition is a store where you can purchase shovels, dynamite, tea etc. Then you have the investigator who collects all the clues for you. There are lots of differences which others can explain far better than me. I think they have made a very good attempt to make this a bit different wear as other games can be just the same old thing time after time. If you liked all the others then I would be surprised if you don't like this. Enjoy
I recommend this game!

I tried the first game and did not like it at all. This is such a better game, there is so much going on right from the start and it takes quite a bit of working out but once you are used to it you will be fine. Not sure how the different princes work yet as each level is quite complex, well for me it is lol, and I use the relaxed mode. What I would say to those who prefer the timed mode to play the demo on relaxed so you will get more into the game and then once you decide that you want to buy it then put it on timed .Just a suggestion. There are nearly 3 times more levels in this game and my hour was up so quick,I just had to purchase. It may not suit everyone but for me it is a great TM game and different to the standard tm's
I recommend this game!
