### 5/5 — Fun HO Adventure

*2012-12-24, version 1.7.1*

I only occasionally play HO games as I tend to prefer full Point & Click adventures, but I grabbed this one during a sale and it turned out to be a lot of fun. The story keeps you at it to find out what happened next. The game played well on my iPad 1 and the graphics were crisp and clear.  The game never bugged me with ads or constantly asked me to rate it. I just finished this one and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I will be keeping my eye out for more Forgotten Places adventures on iOS.

### 5/5 — Interesting game

*2012-12-05, version 1.7.1*

Interesting and addictive game. Mini games not boring and storyline keeps you attention.

### 4/5 — Frustrating

*2012-05-30, version 1.7.1*

Love the game, except that fact that there is no in app purchase option from the free version. You end up wasting time playing the free version to see if you like the game, only to have to start from scratch when you download the paid version. And there is no save option in other version. Other than that, it's a great game.

### 4/5 — Better on the iPhone than iPad

*2012-05-03, version 1.7.1*

I bought this game for my iPad last year and wasn't very impressed, but playing it again via the iPhone was a much better experience. The graphics were so crisp and overall enjoyable. Most Big Fish games are better via the iPhone for this same reason in my opinion. It was too short though, it could've ended better and been a bit longer. I liked the mini games, they were different.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2012-03-21, version 1.7*

I have an iPad 3, and when I click on the game I get the main screen but the image is not resized. Only a part of the image shows, the Play ticket is halfway off the left side of the screen, and none of the tickets work. Not Play, Options, or Help. They aren't clickable. 

Am I the only one with this problem?

### 2/5 — Not worth $5

*2012-03-02, version 1.7*

Pretty graphics, uneven mini games, and the weakest storyline I've seen. Really useless. I'd feel better if it had been .99, but it's definitely not worth $5.

### 4/5 — Excellent hog

*2012-02-29, version 1.7*

It's a well thought out and visually excellent game. Works without any problems on my iPad 2. Well worth the price.

### 5/5 — Enjoyable game thanks!

*2011-12-29, version 1.6*

I liked the free game and upgraded - had to start over - but it's a fun game, uplifting story - no dead bodies. I really enjoyed it!

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2011-11-19, version 1.6*

Great game! No complaints. No crashes or other technical issues. Good length, good graphics, a lot of task variety, puzzles range in difficultly from simple to somewhat challenging. Even had a story that made sense.

### 1/5 — Crashes at a certain point...very annoying

*2011-10-19, version 1.6*

Every time I peer into the crystal ball an finishes by saying "something must've gone terribly wrong!" its ironic because then it goes black and crashes every time. I played the game all the way through and it didn't use to do that. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!
