I loved this game. The characters moved at a fast pace and even faster with the bonus. Yes it may be more simple then some TM games, but I like to play for the relaxation of a simple game that moves fast once in a while. I thought that the graphics were good . I bought it even before I finished the demo.

I recommend this game!

TM is my favorite genre, so I can be overcritical in my reviews of these games. With this one, there is nothing not to like.

Graphics: are large, crisp and clear, so one can see items easily

Buildings can be identified by look and are upgradeable, despite what another reviewer stated

Storyline: is fine

Music: always mute it, so can't comment

Game Play: Controls are very responsive. ...Show more

Storyline: is fine

Music: always mute it, so can't comment

Game Play: Controls are very responsive. One can queue
up actions (a MUST for me). Easy to cancel an action as well
Game flow is also nice
This is not a hectic, break your neck, frantic scramble to try to attain 3 Stars with a ridiculously unreasonable time limit (like in some of the Dracula series - which I do like)

Challenge: There IS strategy involved. I had to replay two of the earlier levels because I didn't take time to plan out my actions

There are 3 levels of play: untimed, normal, and hard

There are no trophies available in the Standard edition

This game is suitable for experienced players, as well as those new to Time Management

I give it 5 Stars. Very refreshing and enjoyable Show less

I recommend this game!

A very fast and easy going TM and it gets harder.
At level 10 I replayed as it was just seconds I missed the 3th star and now on level 13 I was far away from it.
So, give it a chance its not that bad as some say ;-)
Even though I wouldnt buy it as a CE its worth the money as a SE

I recommend this game!

The music is a bit tedious at times...just turn it down and carry on with this adventure !!! The artistry is well done and pleasing...not just a big mashing mess of items...in other words you can find the items you need very very easy !!!

There is not a single challenge in this game...so sit back...relax and play. You should enjoy this with the G'kids...its a ton of fun for all !!! Show less

It is an OK game, but if you wanted Hercules, you'll be sorely disappointed. Show less

This game is basically a simplified knockoff of other TM games, especially - ahem - Greek-themed ones. There's nothing new here, in fact, it's less interesting and challenging than other games and doesn't seem to have any original thought put into it besides the premise in its name (oh, it's an "agency", that's so put-in-the-modern-day).

This game is basically a simplified knockoff of other TM games, especially - ahem - Greek-themed ones. There's nothing new here, in fact, it's less interesting and challenging than other games and doesn't seem to have any original thought put into it besides the premise in its name (oh, it's an "agency", that's so put-in-the-modern-day). The background graphics are boring, forest/plains type settings, unlike many TM games that creatively add visually exciting and interesting backstories into their backdrops (for ex, Vikings Brothers series). Besides this game's complete unoriginality, the graphics, text, and gameplay are crisp and clean, nicely delivered. If you just want to mindlessly pass the time with a blander version of the games you've already plowed through and need something to scratch that TM itch, this one will do. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

I agree with the majority here. I love the TM games, but this one just did not cut the mustard with me. I bought it thinking it would get better since most TM games do, but was sorely disappointed. I recommend waiting to buy until you can get a really good deal on it. But please do continue giving us more TM games Bigfish! They are my favs!

I don't recommend this game.

I felt the game was moderately enjoyable. Rather repetitious and the controls felt a bit clunky - sometimes when I clicked on things, nothing happened. It does have three levels of play, so you can pick your No special bells or whistles, just a TM game.I got it because I had a free game I needed to use and I was supremely bored. Probably won't replay.

I don't recommend this game.

This is one of the few Time Management games that I didn't purchase. I played the Collector's Edition version demo and decided to wait to see if I liked re-playing the demo of this Standard Edition. After a month's worth of really exceptional TM games being released, it's hard to enjoy a ho-hum average TM game. For me personally, it was just boring the second time around, and even though I hate giving low star ratings to a TM game because I want BF to offer more, I just didn't find anything piqued my interest, so sadly, I'll pass on both versions of this game :(

I played the entire demo which gave me enough time to decide that there's nothing here worth the price. I feel bad for saying this because I love the fact that BF is finally realizing that they have a ton of Time Management fans who have been overlooked for years now. However, It wasn't until the 8th Level that a different goal was actually added, for the previous 7 levels the goals were all the same. The graphics are "old-school" and had no curb appeal, everything's just a dull shade of gold.

You can play in an Untimed, Normal or Hard difficulty mode and it allows you to switch back and forth easily before the start of each level with an icon located above the levels. I do like this feature because sometimes it's helpful to play the first go-round in an untimed mode to figure out what the requirements are, such as what materials are needed for each task (bridges, boulders etc) and then play the level again in a normal or hard mode, especially when a TM game requires a lot of strategies, but this one doesn't require a whole lot of strategy to earn all 3 stars.

There's really nothing different here than any other TM game. Build Farms for food, Sawmills for wood, Gold Mines, Quarries for stone and Markets for trading food for specific materials such as Stone or Gold. There are the usual Berry Bushes for a renewable food source, as well as the usual path blockers of wood, boulders, puddles, holes, and bread that somehow gets left strategically on a blocked path just when you need it the most, not to mention random caches of gold coins. There are also random Minotaurs which at least gets Jason to move from his usual cozy spot, and Levers to toggle bridges and open other areas.

The only features offered in the Collector's Edition version, are 10 pages of Concept Art pictures and 5 Music Soundtracks. and 29 Achievements to earn. The CE version doesn't even have a Strategy Guide!. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

I agree with Pennmom36's rating. My favorite are the TMs. I kept hoping, level after level, that something fun would happen. But it's the same for every level. No extras; finding puzzle pieces within a level, new artifacts or tools, etc. Nothing. I NEVER like to give low reviews, but this game is just lacking so many things. Sorry.

I don't recommend this game.
