I love stories with aquatic theme and who doesnt love mysterious 'sea creatures' that seem to be threatening a town. Our tale begins with with waking up on a beach with a loss of memory. We soon learn that our name is Marcus and apparently I have a girlfriend named Dolores. There is also a third wheel who calls himself Vasco and now he has kidnapped Dolores and it is up to us to save her. A love-triangle always leads to tales of revenge.

A beautifully designed HOPA game with so much to offer. I remember these developers and applaud them for their keen insight into what we gamers want. Obviously they took notes and came up with a game full of extras made my head spin.

You have three play options to choose from along with the choice of using an interactive map. I love maps that not only allows you to travel but also indicates progress. It keeps me from running around and the memory is not what it use to be.

Once the game started, I found that the graphics were bright, alot of colors which I love and alot of ambient sounds which always enhances the gaming experience. My only disappointment was the lag between the scenes which became an annoyance after a while. It disrupts the tempo of the game and caused me mild frustration. I wish something could be done about it, it really is the only fly in the ointment for me.

A standard HOPA with terrific HO scenes that are different and interactive. Some even challenging as we need to use items on other items which rates high on my fun meter. Puzzles are plenty, finding items and the odd mini-games are well conceptualized and also entertaining. There is very little hand holding should you choose to play Advance mode or Hardcore. Be prepared for alot of 'something is needed here'. I try to overlook this second annoyance but appreciate the challenge it presents.

Extras...Extras...and more extras. This game offers so many enjoyable features that make for a great game. You have a list of achievments, a series of collectables like find hidden turtles, sea creatures and collect sea shells throughout the game. You really need to look closley because some are very well camoflaged. You also get to build an aquarius and buy toys for your pet dolphin, incidently I forgot to mention, you have a pet dolfin that helps you throughout your adventure.

A brilliant game that deserves 5 stars despite the tiny problem with the lag between scenes. Seriously, I really do wish something could be done about this. Nevertheless, a game worth every penny and I imagine this will definitely make the short list of best games for 2013. Show less

I recommend this game!

This is a Blam game and is really put together well. You have 3 modes to play. You also can use the map or not, depending on how hard you want to play.
The graphics are done quite well and has voice over. There still is lots of reading to do in finding the items you need. Lots of written clues to read. You get achievements when you find items and progress thru the game and for not using the hint button. The hint button is good, tell you where to go, I do not think you will need it much. The flow of the game is good and not hard to figure out.
You have to find and collect turtles thru-out the game. Something fun to do.
Not the puzzles are good but the HOS are interactive and really fun. Different also. You have to find things to complete the task to get the item in the HOS. Really interactive as I said.
This is a really fun game to play. I think it is better than there first game they put out. Show less

The HOs have a lot of interactive play, which is always a plus, but what I really loved were the mini games....so colourful, fun and different..nice job! Even the VOs are good, which is very rare, in my opinion. I purchased after the trial, so now I'm going to start over so I can look for every single thing and enjoy the awesome artwork. Show less

BASED ON DEMO

Ever since I discovered HOGs, I’ve been dreaming of a really well put together game that was took advantage of the BEAUTY UNDER THE SEA. And although I’ve enjoyed a number of seafaring games on Big Fish, none have quite had what I was imagining. This one has it.

There are so many wonderful things about this game, I don’t dare try to cover all of them here, so let’s take some things for granted.

We have *GORGEOUS GRAPHICS, *CUTSCENES to die for, *PERFECT BLEND of SOUNDS, *GREAT HOS (PROGRESSIVE SILHOUETTE – and CHALLENGING ones at that), *ORIGINAL & INTRIGUING PUZZLES/MINI-GAMES. *QUICK SKIP, *DIRECTIONAL HINT, *INTERACTIVE JUMP MAP, *JOURNAL with REPLAYABLE videos. *4 DIFFICULTY LEVELS, *3 SOUND CONTROLS.

A STORY that promises to be MORE THAN the RESCUE girlfriend, (a MALE LEAD for the blokes), and UNBEARABLY ADORABLE DOLPHIN HELPERS.

To my mind DOLPHINS are the perfect choice, because they are universally loved by everyone and are CUTE WITHOUT THE SCHMALTZ.

So, I’m already TOTALLY SOLD on this game, and we haven’t even mentioned the EXTRAS.

BONUS CONTENT REVIEW *****

BONUS CHAPTER, of course. STRATEGY GUIDE, the usual GALLERY ITEMS and...

SEAWORLD

This consists of your ALBUM of COLLECTIBLE SEA CREATURES that you have found throughout the game, with a little info on each.

Your AQUARIUM which you can decorate with items bought with your COLLECTIBLE SEA SHELLS.

The DOLPHIN POOL where you can FEED & PLAY WITH your dolphin using some more of those COLLECTIBLE SEA SHELLS.

These sea shells are assorted colours and shapes, and you get different numbers of them as you go.

ACHIEVEMENTS (22)

Separate UNDERSEA environment for your trophies, including one for COLLECTING TURTLES. These guys are similar to each other, and start out easy to find, then all of a sudden get sneaky.

I really liked playing this game. What a good story about a woman named Delores who fell in love with Marcus causing their mutual friend to become jealous and in his enragement tries to kill Marcus. Marcus survives but loses his memory and you will try to piece together your life and save Delores from the evil jaded lover. The graphics are good and the surroundings are a nautical theme and you get to find and collect sea creatures, sea shells and turtles! There aren't very many HOS and some are list finds but most are interactive progressive silhouetted items where you use the first find to interact with the second find and so fourth. I think you will like the mini games, many of them are new, most are time consuming but not too difficult such as using arrows to collect all the pearls by passing over the pearls but some of the tiles wont allow you to go a certain direction like no right turn so you may have to choose a longer route. There are a ton of achievements and keep a sharp eye on the zoom in's or you might miss a collectable, enjoy! Show less

My review title says it all. In a nutshell, the storyline: Help Marcus get his memory back and save his girlfriend from his "use to be best friend."

Extras -- Find all the turtles, find the sea creatures, and find seashells to purchase things.

Mini-games -- I played the entire demo and all the mini-games I played so fair are new and some are somewhat challenging.

Hidden object scenes -- You have both hidden objects and silhouettes. Additional all scenes have interaction. The silhouette scenes are a bit challenging. Love that!

That's the good news. The one bad thing about the game is that some of the hidden object scenes are a bit crowded and objects can be difficult to see.

All in all, you can't go wrong purchasing this game. I'm off to purchase to continue the game play.

Enjoy! Show less

I love, love, love, LOVE this offering from BLAM! games!! It was a pleasure to play and it shows just how creative developers can be when they want to. I also love the first one in the series which was about a dog/human half breed type thing. This one was all about the ocean but it was done bright n cheery with no depressing scenes and the voiceovers were superb as were the highly interactive hidden object scenes and the unique puzzles (some of them).

There are a bunch of collectibles including finding 19 sea creatures, 35 MORPHING turtles (didn't catch onto the morphing until way later in the game lol) and 44 seashells that calculate much higher than 44 because you use them to build a proper aquarium in the bonus play and to buy your dolphin some toys. I usually don't care for animal helpers or dressing things up and down but it wasn't out place for the game AND it wasn't done all cutesy either. It was just the right atmosphere especially the dolphin because you get a dolphin whistle throughout the game and YOUR dolphin (which you don't name, thank god) will take you places you can't go without a boat. I thought the extras in this game were awesome.

There are also achievements and I liked that you didn't have to complete all the puzzles without a skip to get them. There were some story based ones but there were others like 10 hidden object scenes with no hints or puzzles. There were way more than 10 puzzles, so even though I skipped one I was still able to get the achievements for doing the puzzles. I was able to do most of the game without hints. The only time I used the strategy guide was for one code as it was hard to see what the symbols were in the diary and also to make sure I was on track with all the collectibles. I made sure to write them down on paper so every time I came back to this game, Id know what I was looking for. The turtles are hard to spot in some locations!

The game ends completely in the main game (standard edition) and there is no need for the bonus so getting the standard edition would do you just fine unless you like all the collectibles, achievements and such, then I really, really recommend you get the CE as this game is outstanding. I don't usually give 5 stars but I loved every minute of this game. The bonus chapter is an epilogue of what happened after the story with the 3 people. The villains in these games always seem to have a change of heart whereas real villains in real life never seem to change their mind so quick. I did like the bonus game in the first Fierce Tales better but this one was good too.

The only negative thing I have to say about this game is that after I played an hour, the game just quit. This sometimes happens so I thought nothing of it until I couldn't get back into the game. I was so scared it wouldn't ever come back to life but I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it and it had my profile saved from where I was when it abruptly quit! (thank you!!) and I was able to play smoothly from there. My game manager never alerts me when there are updates to games (isn't it supposed to??) sooo maybe that was part of it since I didn't realize there was a patch.

Otherwise though, the game played smoothly and I spent 6+ hours enjoying this little gem. BLAM! games you have such great story ideas and great executions of them at that! I am always so amazed at how you can take an old plot line aka love triangle and turn it into something so original that I am left speechless. Thank you for continuing to make such awesome games! Im pretty sure I own everything you have put out! Kudos! Show less

Happy 4th fellow pond pals! I have the first Fierce Tales and really liked that one. Waiting a year for the second in the series was worth the wait. Very nice graphics and game play. Music nice (which is saying a lot for me since I usually turn it way down). Voice overs, scenery and sound FX are very well done and appropriate for the setting.

Happy 4th fellow pond pals! I have the first Fierce Tales and really liked that one. Waiting a year for the second in the series was worth the wait. Very nice graphics and game play. Music nice (which is saying a lot for me since I usually turn it way down). Voice overs, scenery and sound FX are very well done and appropriate for the setting.

I didn't use the hint, so I don't know how that works yet. SG is very helpful and easy to follow. I like the way the SG tells you which area to return to and not just "go back four, turn left and forward two." Naturally, the jump map is awesome (perfect set up) and most appreciated since you do re-visit areas often. I like the change up in HOG vs silhouettes and the need to find items. Items are not as easy to find as you may think..you really have to look hard for quite a few, but at least the SG shows you where they are in case you miss them. The games are not extremely difficult, but do take some time and thought to complete.

The only "minor" complaint I have is that the HOGs are a bit messy. There is a lot of background junk that just clutters the screen. Oh yes, and not listing all the chapters in the game. It's the little things that count, but I am not down-grading this one because of it. Anyway, with the special today, I am getting this one and another that I have been holding on to (both CE's), even though I have sort of sworn off CE games. I do not give 5 stars easily, but this one is well worth the money today and I personally feel this will appeal to all level of players!

As always, try it for yourself and see what you think. We all have different tastes in games and you may not care for this one at all. Thanks for the reviews. Show less

Tastes are (luckily) different. From my point of view, this game has simply met all my expectations in a very good game: gorgeous graphics, a story that is appealing and different from the ones that we have had so much of lately, new puzzles that were at times rather challenging, interactive HOS that kept my interest throughout the game (and even in the bonus chapter they were interactive and not just straight HOS as with so many other games I have played recently). And above all, the bonus chapter did not let me down, and that is rather rare these days.

What I have really loved about this game, that you had to think. Some players may not enjoy a challenge and prefer games that are simple and so straightforward like walking down a street ... well, this game is not a straight walkthrough. And that is what I very much appreciated. I have read reviews that said it was too simple and playing only 10 minutes? Well, I guess you should certainly play the complete demo and decide for yourself.

This game will certainly be on the top 10 games for 2013 - at least on my list of favourite games. I highly recommend it. Show less
