this game is one of the best Big Fish has to offer. The art & music are fantastic, the story is intriguing, and the minigames are fun and challenging! I highly recommend this game!

Almost bought the game as soon as it loaded, I liked the opening screen and the lizard so much. Once into the game, I noticed it actually does fill the whole screen top to bottom, which is extremely rare on my large lap top. I was distracted by the art work in the first HO scene.

Almost bought the game as soon as it loaded, I liked the opening screen and the lizard so much. Once into the game, I noticed it actually does fill the whole screen top to bottom, which is extremely rare on my large lap top. I was distracted by the art work in the first HO scene. This is actually a good thing, I'm an artist and graphics go a looong way with me. The objects were relative to the story, not just junk pile, and really beautifully done. I also liked the story and that I couldn't understand the natives without some form of translation. I'm hearing impaired, so voice overs and music are largely lost on me, so it was an extra bonus that I understood the scientist, every word! Also, the music was nice and not intrusive.

I got this as a DD, but it was worth full price. Haven't finished it yet, but so far the only thing I don't like is the silly wait for the clues to reload. Oh, and the cursor is a decent size and obviously changes. Just finished a game where I had to squint just to SEE the cursor.

Really, really love this game! Show less

Unsolved Mystery Club ®: Ancient Astronauts ® is a very entertaining game. I started the Collector's Edition but it didn't work and BFG gave me a refund. I also own the Standard version of the game and it WORK PERFECTLY!!!
I really wanted to finish the game that I started because it was different from many of the games I played so far.
Beautiful graphics, music, etc.

I recommend this game!

I checked in on the CE I purchased and still no fix to the bludgeon issue in Chapter 1; HOWEVER, I used a credit and downloaded the SE version. GREAT NEWS -- I just finished the first of five chapters with NO issues.

The SE may not have the CE "bling" but at least I can play this game, which IMO is well done.

Give it a try!

I recommend this game!

I really enjoyed this game. It has 5 different chapters. Five people have gone missing while investigating and you have to go and try and find them. Each chapter has a new location, so each area you are in, there isn't much backtracking (compared to others). And is contained, so you can't get too lost.

I really enjoyed this game. It has 5 different chapters. Five people have gone missing while investigating and you have to go and try and find them. Each chapter has a new location, so each area you are in, there isn't much backtracking (compared to others). And is contained, so you can't get too lost.

It has a nice pace and it's not too hard. For those liking less hidden object scenes and more mini games, this is for you. There isn't any original puzzles and I do wish there was a reset button on them but they were enjoyable.

The hint button was really good. In normal play (Not hidden object scenes) when you hit the hint button, it gave you a list of things which you could pick from to get a hint related to it.

The storyline I thought was ridiculous, but it didn't matter and ended up being quite interesting seeing what some people believe, however 'out there' it is. And it was different.

This took me a good while (about 5hrs, no skipping and reading everything), it wasn't short which quite a few recent games have been. There is no way IMO this should have been a CE, even with an extra chapter in it. It has the feel of the older H O puzzle game. But for a SE, and if you have extra credits waiting to spend, then this is a fun game.

Rating B- game (good, entertaining game) Show less

I recommend this game!

Much fewer hidden object scenes than in typical games of the genre, but they are more challenging than average. These are all "junk pile" style scenes,

The fact-based portion of the story is interesting, highlighting various civilizations throughout the world who possessed much more advanced knowledge and technology than should have been available at the time.

There is an excellent help in-game help system, unusual for a SE (standard edition). Show less

Graphics were pretty good but sometimes hidden items were too hard to find. The hint/help button was agonizingly slow and sometimes no help at all. It was different from most HOGs in that you could pick what question you needed answered. A good game for the beginner/intermediate because you don't have 20 scenes to run back and forth through to find what you need. Each chapter has it's own set of ...Show more

I find the graphics are crisp, then HOGs are well hidden not junk, but the recharge on the hints is way too long-on casual was about 2 minutes--REALLY? sheesh
For DD it is a fun game to fill ounch card, will take about 3-4 hours for average player (unless you are a huge hint user-then add an hour) Show less

Absolutely loved the game but it was super short. Each investigation should have been longer. The idea was great and good adventure style which is what I love.
I hope they make another like this but twice as long.

I recommend this game!
