I loved all the different scenes and locations. The graphics were good and the storyline entertaining. Unlike some reviewers I had no trouble with bugs or crashes. The only thing I didn't care for were the shadow HOS, there were far too many of these and being I play on an IPad they were hard to make out. The outlines weren't even exact. Other than that , I thoroughly enjoyed the game.
I read all of the posted reviews, and almost did not even download this game. But I had SO enjoyed the previous offerings in this series I decided to give the trial a chance. However, I ran out of time to buy the game at its introductory price, so I had a dilemma: buy it, and most likely end up with a lemon as the reviews overwhelmingly stated, or pass. Well, I bought it. I have an iPad Air, with iOS 8.1. And no, I don't have any connection with Big Fish! Believe it or not, I had NOT OBEY problem with this game!! It never kicked me out, the diary had no problems with overlapped wording, it was smooth as glass! It was a great game, and I enjoyed it immensely. I don't know why so many had problems? Maybe an older iPad? Maybe not enough memory? Maybe an older iOS? Maybe some other settings that made it crash? I don't know, but I was totally surprised that I had no problems, and I loved the game! I will certainly buy the next installment, which I hope comes out, because with all of the negative reviews it may not sell enough to warrant another chapter? For me, and I have had my share of games that did not work, it was as smooth and trouble-free as any HO game I have ever played!
Eipix has made a lot of games. And yet dares to issue a game with loads of bugs??? And Big Fish has the audacity to sell this under their name???
The game crashes each time the movie sequence takes places. I have deleted and redownloaded a few times and still the problem persists.
I want my money back!!!!
This is one of my favourite series. Love the Art Deco decor, the plot line, and the different types of puzzles. But...it kept crashing on me when the screen changed and a out half way through the skip and hint button no longer worked. Has a map but it's not an especially good one through most of the game.
Love this series but game keeps crashing. After one crash I was brought back into the game with my progress lost, a key item from a previous scene gone, and no way to go back and retreive it. Had to start the entire game over.
I love Big Fish & buy just about every hidden object game released but lately they've been a
little shoddy! One of them just suddenly restarted at the beginning after I'd made it to almost the end, another one freezes on the unlock now screen, & now this one won't even open! I can't even get to all the crashes IN the game that everybody else is complaining about!! I choose the game icon, it opens for a split second on a black screen, & then kicks me back to the desktop!! It's REALLY REALLY ANNOYING!!! Please fix soon!!
I almost didn't even try this game because of the reviews. I liked the previous Final Cuts though, so gave it a go. Glad I did - I am pretty far into the game and have had NO problems. Good story line, good voice overs and - so far - completely bug free!
It's too bad that most of the crashes and glitches happened in the beginning. I can see where you'd not want to buy this. But I love the Final Cut series, mainly because of the beautiful Art Deco scenery, so I took a chance. I'm glad I did.
First mini-game glitch was with the cue ball game. Ball #1 disappeared and I could not finish it. Just pushed SKIP. The second mini-game glitch came in the train station evidence board. Connect the top 3 pictures first, before connecting the rest. If you wait and connect the top one last, the game cannot finish. If that happens, just push SKIP. (This glitch was repeatable at the end where you can choose to play the mini-games again).
After that, the game played flawlessly all the way to the end. The bonus play is long and excellent. There is a souvenir room where you can look for more objects, and you can replay the HOPs and puzzles again.
There were several crashes during the game, but just close it out (double-click HOME button and swipe up), then reopen the game. Your progress will not be lost.
I look forward to the next installment of Final Cut and hope that they test it better than they tested this one.
Good story. Games are varied but could be a little more demanding. Software moves well. But it got stuck. I got the Dock address card and put it on the visor but the game didn't recognize that it was there. I had to delete the game and start over. I was glad I enjoy the game since I had to start over. I hope it doesn't get stuck again.
Greetings, Gamers: 👄
UPDATE: Like reviewer sicamore6, I too had my diary bug clear up, but mine was out of the blue! After I wrote a bad review I went back in to play up until purchase point...and the danger diary was straightened out! Bizarre but I'll take it!
So, I'm upgrading to 4 stars. I love everything about the game except for the fact that some puzzles don't have reset buttons and the SG doesn't show the thought process behind certain puzzles' solutions. Otherwise, way to go, EIPIX!
Yup, I went ahead and bought this one.
END OF UPDATE...
Just as another reviewer has already pointed out, this game is virtually unplayable because the diary is screwed up. Don't worry about getting ripped off after you've paid; this major malfunction shows up early in the game.
At least I didn't throw away money on this one. Too bad, seems it could've been an okay game otherwise.
I don't know what in the hell is happening to Bigfish's QC here lately, but I'm losing my enthusiasm for playing these games, much less buying them. The free trial is about all my endurance can take.
Shouts to fellow faves and gamers in general.
May the out-of-the-blue stars light your way
