Fun, Challenging and Keeps You Playing
I like the way the game lets you explore a town, though a really small one. It's got a graveyard and that's my thing. The HO challenges are not much of a challenge but what really forces you to be a clever 'detective' are the other puzzles and figuring out how to use the objects in your inventory. The ending was a bit of a letdown, not what I expected but the game itself, the figuring things out and solving the mystery bit are fun.

OK but not for me
I just could not get into the game. Only played the 30 min. but just too much going all over the place to find things. Try it for yourself. Graphics is good but no voice over.

Pitiful
Love to play all the games, but this particular game got more ridiculous the longer I played. I don't mind skipping a puzzle or two, but these puzzles were stupid. Put a glass to the wall to find the conversation, put some numbers in to find the factor.... Just gave up, which is not like me. This adventure was a NO-GO because the challenges got to be ridiculous.

Thumbs UP!
I started playing this game on BFUnlimited, and loved it so much, I bought it. I'm from south Louisiana, and I thought BFG got most of the characters and the scenery, etc. pretty accurate. I especially love the little nuance things, like correctly referencing the names of Parishes (i.e. counties). The graphics were sharp, and the live video interactions really made you feel like you were the detective in this game. It was a very immersive game. Loved it! I'd be interested in playing more games like this from BFG!

Loved this game!!
I thought this was one of the best HOG games I have played to this date. Would love to find more just like it. Loved the real character interaction and am extremely surprised at some of the negative comments.

The game that started my addiction!
This was thee first game I had purchased from Big Fish, the one that started it all! MCF: 13th Skull was a phenomenal hidden object game that really felt like a mystery movie. The awesome real actor movies is what hooked me to this game along with the great matching sound/music. They need to have more games with these real action movies. The puzzles were not too difficult, but strong enough to keep you awake. I've purchased at least 20 BF games, thanks to this game. SO! Buy this game and tell me it doesn't leave you wanting for more Mystery Case Files.

Lot of fun!
I actually bought this on CD in the store and could kick myself since it's on sale for $2.99 today.
The setting is deep in the Louisiana swamps (about 3 hours away from where I live), and the area to explore is rich in atmosphere. The occasional background music is a bit twangy and bluesy with a harmonica to remind you where you are, in case it slips your mind. The hidden objects may include alligator heads and other themed objects.
The story integrates the rich culture of the Deep South with pirates, which are quite popular these days. Once again, you play the Master Detective looking for a missing person. The environment, the puzzles, and the story were just pure fun. This game also included live action, and I wish I could have seen more of the character in the voodoo shop. Unfortunately, she only played a small role. I hope BFS keeps more fun games like this coming.

Couldn't leave it alone
This was a great game - well worth the purchase. I couldn't put it down. Some parts were pretty challenging, and you really had to use your powers of observation. I liked the live actors. The puzzles were unusual, and difficult without being impossible. All in all, a 5 star game.

WOW what a great game.
Reading the reviews i see some people dont recommend this game?, i can only say they havn,t played many games?.
This is the best HO game out there by far.
This game is on special offer today for 2.30, what a great buy.
I paid 11 but it was worth every penny.
A truly great game, i could talk all day about this game, you can read all the reviews, but the only way to find out is to play it yourself.

Arrgh
This is the first MCF game I have played and I found much of it tedious and dreary. Its menial tasks, contrived dialog, disgusting imagery (gross, not gory) and hokey ending movie remind me of overcooked okra.
I give this game an overall OK because of its creative art style, detailed graphics and decent variety of puzzles. But it's not the best hidden object adventure out there.
