But I found it a bit disjointed when following clues I wish we could have some really good old fashioned adventure games where there were no in game buying but you acquired all you needed through your efforts in the game It was much,much better when games were played like that,and the thing I hate the most is the hidden objects part of the games.They are really annoying . Any one else feel the same? And anyone out there that can produce the sort of game I've discribed ? ### 3/5 — Cadenza *2015-11-11* I enjoy it, however I can't do most of the bonus content because I have to find collectibles, notes, and morphing objects. When I consulted the guide the collectibles weren't where they were supposed to be ### 5/5 — Packed with Puzzles! *2015-10-26* So many HOs and puzzles! I have never seen so many in this kind of game. Slightly less difficult over time, but nicely done. Great value, it went on for a long time. Sweet game. Recommended. ### 5/5 — Very good game *2015-10-05* I agree with other reviews...nice to play a game without a totally macabre theme. The music was really good. The artwork was great. The game had no glitches. Nice length of play too. ### 4/5 — Schönes Spiel *2015-09-26, version 1.0.0* Wenn die Steuerung genauer wäre gäbe es fünf Sterne. Wimmelbildspiele mal etwas anders aufgebaut. Spiel ist mit Karte, die man auch benötigt. ### 4/5 — Interesting *2015-09-13* I like the story line. The directions to open the door just mean to hit the left or right door that many times. ### 5/5 — Gr8 *2015-08-31, version 1.0.0* Great game ### 5/5 — Good Game *2015-07-23, version 1.0.0* I just watch the walk through of it and it was fantastic. ### 5/5 — Excellent game *2015-06-03, version 1.0.0* I had no problems with this game. Fresh new storyline, great graphics. Good map, hint recharges quickly. ### 5/5 — Loved it! *2015-05-10* I never rate stuff; I don't know why, probably because it's a "p-i-t-a" to type on an iPhone. Anyway I loved this game. Great graphics and interesting story line. The fluffy-fairy-kingdoms-hogwarts-spells story lines get old after awhile (I kinda hope the Big people at Big Fish read that last line). Bottom line-good story line, really good graphics. ### 5/5 — Seems very good so far *2015-04-24* Love the music, varied HOS, the setting.... I just started this game but so far it's kept my attention and I like!!! ### 5/5 — Refreshingly different *2015-04-15* Didn't fall in love at first but once I hit the hang of it, I couldn't put it down. From one Big Fish Game junkie to another, ended up being one of my faves by far. ### 3/5 — Only ok *2015-04-13* The game was entertaining enough, I suppose. But it was way too small to see on an iPhone. Also, the mini-games alternated between way too easy, and downright tedious. As a former resident of the Crescent City, it would have been nice to see more effort put into the geography of the place. The maps in the game are 100% wrong and/ or made-up. Other than that, the game is an acceptable way to pass time. ### 5/5 — top! *2015-04-08, version 1.0.0* Great score, nice graphics, good story - very entertaining! ### 5/5 — Superb *2015-04-07* What a refreshing game experience. I love the fact that they tapped into the Jazz culture of New Orleans and did a good job. Great Storyline and thoughtful HOSs and Mini games. Thanks for the ethnic diversity in this game. Loved it! ❤️❤️❤️ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — DONT BUY!! *2017-11-25, version 1.0.0* There are glitches in the game that prevent you from moving on. For example, there was a dictation machine that I was supposed to use on a map and when trying to do the puzzle for it, the machine disappeared and needed to start the whole game over to avoid the glitch. Such a waste of money. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! ### 1/5 — WTH???? *2016-06-24* This game looked amazing & right up my alley. Before downloading any game I make sure it can be played on my iPhone 4. After reading that this game CAN be played on iPhone 4, I downloaded it. Excited to play the game I open it only to read that the game should be played on iPhone 4s & up. Really? Thanks for dangling that carrot.. ### 1/5 — Cadenza *2015-06-28* Would be nice once u buy it. That it would install. Not very happy ### 1/5 — Buggy *2015-04-03, version 1.0.0* I also got stuck at the double doors, so I followed the walk through. There must be a bug in the game because it did not work. I will not purchase the game. ### 1/5 — Sheffield mug *2015-03-31* DONT BOTHER. PAYED £2.29 FOR FULL GAME. NOW WONT OPEN : AT ALL: ### 1/5 — Rubbish👎 *2015-03-14* Don't bother and waste your time, complete utter load of 💩 Wouldn't pay for full game if was offered at 0.69p, very poor BF ### 1/5 — Awful! 😁 🚾 *2015-03-14* Followers, Poorly designed game that is irritating to play. Voicing, background music, story flow and characterization are terrible. Glitches in Hidden Object scenes, along with map for game being of no help. Definitely not a game worth purchasing, although if one does enjoy jazz music, you might be able to put up with the blatant lack of quality control and poor game design. Thank you for your continued support. Happy St. Patrick's Day! ~Kamen Rider ### 2/5 — Glitches in bonus *2020-06-03* Didn’t really find any glitches until the very end but after completing the game and finding all 40 of the bonus items the bonus content did not unlock as it was supposed to which is frustrating after all that work. It is very small to be played on iPhone even for me, a 22 year old with perfect vision, but I didn’t have to skip any mini-games or puzzles and just had to go back to find hidden music notes I missed the first time (sadly for no reason /: ). Would have been a great game otherwise ### 2/5 — Something wrong *2015-03-15* I didn't buy the game because I can't solve the problem which is when the woman said left left right left right i go to the game guide and the same they didn't show me how to solve it they were only repeat what the woman said even the picture didn't show what to do.. Is there Anybody help me? أنا لم أشتري اللعبه لأنني وقفت في مكان لا استطيع ان اتجاوزه وهو عندما قالت المرأه يسار يسار يمين يسار يمين حاولت بكل الطرق ضربت على الأبواب والإتجاهات وكل شيء وعندما يأست فتحت قايد اللعبه ولكنه للأسف لم يوضح كيفية الحل فقط كررماقالته المرأه وحتى الصوره لم توضح اي شيء.. من يعرف الحل فليساعدني. ### 3/5 — Cadenza: Musik,Betrug und Tod *2021-01-13, version 1.0.0* Das Spiel wird angeboten auf deutsch und wenn ich es runterlade ist es auf englisch. Wie bekomme ich es auf deutsch. Auf eine Antwort würde ich mich freuen. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The Story!!! *2022-07-23, version 1.0.0* What an absolutely fantastic storyline. So much fun and history. ### 5/5 — I absolutely love it *2022-05-29* I have been a fan for five years and I have to say this kind of game really tingles my brain. ### 5/5 — Best cadenza *2021-12-02, version 1.0.0* Best storyline out of the cadenza series ### 5/5 — A great game. *2020-07-02* I’m enjoying this game a lot. The games are original. ### 5/5 — Great! *2017-01-22* Haven't finished it yet, but so far it's fun, good story, and amazing music. ### 5/5 — Great game *2016-12-31, version 1.0.0* I have played a ton of Big Fish games, and this series is one of my favorites! Great graphics and storyline. ### 5/5 — Great Game!! *2016-06-05* Game is very long. Bonus is short, but length of main game makes up for it. Hogs are different than usual, which is a nice change. Mini games aren't very difficult. They sometimes require a little thought, but the skip button charges quickly as does the hint button. Graphics aren't great, but good. Sound is really good. A tip for you is when you are on the "Marti Gras" street, you need to drag the screen with your finger left and right. Most people would know this, but I didn't at first.... Have fun, I did! ### 5/5 — Cadenza *2016-05-16, version 1.0.0* Good game ### 5/5 — Need a sequel!!!! *2016-04-17, version 1.0.0* This one was so awesome!!! If it wasn't for his brother saving him they both would've been in jail Sequel! Sequel! Go ahead and do it! ### 5/5 — Great Fun! *2015-11-12, version 1.0.0* Can't wait for the sequel! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
