This game is a point and click, tongue-in-cheek adventure; lots of sly narration and excellent vocal repartee. The animation is well done and so far I'm greatly enjoying the storyline. As far as the difficulty goes, if you're unfamiliar with this genre, it will probably take a bit more time to figure things out. For those who have played old adventure games like Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, Emerald City Confidential, etc, you should definitely give this a look.. and if you like it, be sure to let others know, since good adventure games are tough to find these days! *runs off to purchase* Show less

I recommend this game!

Plays out like the classic point and click adventure games that had great witty dialogue. You’ll interact with various environments, picking up, using and combining items, MacGyver-like, to solve puzzles and move ahead to the next area.

When I first started this game I thought it was very slow, but soon changed my mind. Make sure to give it more than a 10 minute try so you can get to the "meat and potato's" of the story. It does have a great deal of narration that you must listen to, but it is wonderfully written and fun to play. If you love British humor, you will truly appreciate this game.

I'm not sure why no-else (bar one) seems to like this game - I love it.
A great sense of humor and fun puzzles. A good old style point & click adventure.
More like this one please!!!

Finally! A change from all the collectors edition spooky games that seem to be getting shorter and are all the same. This game is funny in a dry sort of way. If you're looking to have a bit of a laugh give this a go. Good graphics, character voice overs, humor.

I recommend this game!

This is an hysterically funny point and click adventure game (no hidden object) that is very challenging. There are hints available, but you still have to think. A lot like Sam & Max, Emerald City, Day of the Tentacle, etc. A lot of dialog, so you really need patience with it, but there's a big payoff--it's really funny.

This is an hysterically funny point and click adventure game (no hidden object) that is very challenging. There are hints available, but you still have to think. A lot like Sam & Max, Emerald City, Day of the Tentacle, etc. A lot of dialog, so you really need patience with it, but there's a big payoff--it's really funny. This is a slight problem with one of the mini games near the beginning--not being able to skip without freezing, and hopefully there's a fix for that soon, but if you persist, you can get through the mini game if you practice. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and I would love Big Fish to offer more of these type of games. Show less

I'm not a huge fan of HOG games, so this was a nice change to find on BFG. It's a pretty straightforward adventure game with a cute storyline, interesting but perfectly workable puzzles, and graphics that are cute instead of terrifying.

I really don't understand the poor reviews. If you like point and click adventure games you will like this game. It is fun and funny and not too hard. The objects make sense for what they are applied to. really easy to learn. Played the first hour without needing a hint. Really fun game, wish they would make more of them!

I recommend this game!

Those reviewers who gave this a bad rating after a very short attempt did the game and gamers a disservice. It is not everybodies cup of tea but it is a fun adventure game which takes a little getting used to. If you are used to the typical IHOG this game would have a learning curve that took more than 20-30 minutes. Once you get the map the game really becomes fun.

I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed this game. It is a pure adventure game that involves you clicking around and combining objects to advance through the game. The storyline is not overly involving, but appears to be mostly silly for silliness' sake. I am okay with that.

I REALLY like the hints system. The walkthrough is basically built into the game. I love when games do that instead of trying to milk you separately for a 'strategy guide'. Classy!

Overall, this is an excellent game that I recommend for adventure game lovers. Show less
