She's not the same Mia and the noticeable difference makes her more insignificant than before. She's caught up with an odd assortment of people and has lost her touch for great antique finds. The story now contributes even less than in the previous Faircroft games. But the game itself was ok for the most part.
I like Boom Zap but this series just doesn't have that fun element that keeps the interest up and the boredom down. For one thing, the excessive dialogue, so unimportant to the story, is really annoying. Way too much useless babble constantly interrupting the game. Thank goodness it can be skipped. Mia may have many fans, but if she came to my house I'd lock her in the closet. lol
The graphics are very nice, bright colors, busy scenes, well hidden items, a fun variety of HO styles and mini-games. I think they provided a good mix. I especially liked Spot the Difference, with so many things to find and the Memory Match is always a fave. The Easy, Medium and Hard Modes are fun to experiment with and test your skills. I was impatient with the recharge times of 15-45 seconds. Waiting 15 seconds in Easy Mode is too long. Most objects were of average challenge but there was a fair share of really tough ones. I love the difficulty and hate using hints, sometimes I just have to give in.
The CE demo went well but decided to wait for the SE to arrive. Now that it's here I think it will be another pass for me. To be frank I'm too chicken to go for it. I'm not confident enough in this series to purchase, based on a couple of early games I took a chance on. There's no extra anything, no fun projects or collections to jazz up the entertainment value. Those things are not a solid must-have to make every game fun but I think they would be a great asset in Faircroft Antiques, as we all enjoy the extra goodies. It makes pushing the Buy Button easier, at least for me. Show less
I recommend this game!

I CHOSE THE SKIP DIALOG OPTION WHICH MADE IT MORE ENJOYABLE. WE LIKE THE STORIES BUT NOT THE CONSTANT INTERRUPTIONS! I HAVE A SOLUTION...

In the CE version, I complained about the constant interruption of the conversation, before, after, and especially during the HO scenes. In this version, I chose to skip the dialog (available in settings) and it did make the game way more entertaining...however, I don't have an issue with the stories themselves, I actually enjoy a small story in HOGs.

In the CE version, I complained about the constant interruption of the conversation, before, after, and especially during the HO scenes. In this version, I chose to skip the dialog (available in settings) and it did make the game way more entertaining...however, I don't have an issue with the stories themselves, I actually enjoy a small story in HOGs. What I don't like is when the story is told in increments between every move I make, especially when it occurs in the middle of the HO scene!
It would be really nice if BoomZap would listen to our complaints because I've read a ton of reviews stating that there is way too much talking in this series! May I suggest that you gently unfold the saga before each HO scene in a paragraph or two and leave it at that! Maybe go a step further and cut back on the two characters that appear & disappear as they speak. Have them both standing in the foreground (when applicable) and simply add the "speaking" character's name above their particular conversation text so we know which character is speaking. This will eliminate the back & forth "business" which is a key factor that annoys most players and makes it feel as though they are interruptions versus story-telling conversations!
You can choose to play in an Easy Mode with a 15-second Hint Recharge and mini-game pieces that lock when correctly placed, a Medium Mode with a 30-second Hint Recharge where some of the mini-game pieces lock, or a Hard Mode with a 45-second Hint Recharge and no mini-game pieces that lock.
There are 14 Days total (locations) and each Day has 6 scenes which include mini-games and HO scenes that are varied with Listed Items, Pictured Images, Riddled Descriptions, Silhouetted Shapes, Scrambled Letters, and Collections, such as finding several Pigeons. It would be nice if there was an option to disable certain variations such as Scrambled Letters because some of the words are nearly impossible to figure out!
I liked the mini-games, especially Memory Match Flags and Spot The Differences between 4 images. Other games include a variety of shaped puzzles, Square Tile Rotation puzzles, Swapping items so items only occur once in every row and column, or Swap & Rotate puzzles.
The CE version seemed rather vague because there were no tabs in-game that were labeled as "CE Extra's". According to the BF synopsis, there are 6 additional Chapters set after the main story, 2 Bonus locations, and 30 new levels. There is also an Unlimited Mode available once you unlock the scenes in the main game. The tab for the Unlimited Mode was still showing on this SE version, but it says it's only available in the CE version when you click on the tab.

I HATE JUMBLED WORDS, Missing Vowels, etc., so this is an automatic "no buy" for me. Some H/O games give us the OPTION to have STRAIGHT SPELLING words, which I really appreciate.
Too bad, as this looked good otherwise, even with the way-too-many hidden objects to find in the mini-games.
BUT, I know many of you don't mind the scrambled words, so you would enjoy this.

The earlier ones were OK. This was just a waste of money. No coherent story line, no challenge. It seemed like this was thrown together. Total rip off.
I don't recommend this game.
