Good - worth the purchase
Lots of HOS - without too much backtracking. I think the ending was very abrupt. I had what I needed so the Dr. never got a chance to say much.

Only If You Like HOGs
Most games that bill themselves as HOG / Adventure / Puzzle usually have a good mix of all three. This game definitely favors the HOSs. I found the HOSs more challenging than usual. That being said, I thought that this game had more unfair objects than most. By unfair object I mean the kind of object that you could stare at for days and not recognize it. Sometimes it was the graphics, sometimes poor translation into American English and sometimes it was that the object was too close in color to the background.
Although they got less emphasis than the HOSs, the adventure and puzzle aspects of the game were not bad.
I don't usually give much weight to storyline since most of them are the same. (Something evil wants to take over the city / the kingdom / the universe). Same with voiceovers. ("You'll never stop me hero / heroine. Mwa-ha-ha-ha.") Granted, this game didn't have voiceovers, but the text in the cut scenes had the same effect. In those respects this game was very average. However, I hated the soundtrack, particularly the part that was clanging all the time. Very annoying.

just good
I played this one when it first out and yes, I have fun (I never leave a review before).
If you are a HOG lover well try this. That's way, I give it five stars because this game is good for my lazy time.
Btw, thanks dev.

Really Good Game
I would have given this game higher marks if not for some of the muddy HOS's. I enjoyed the game play and the movement of the story. A wee bit of the dialog was tedious, but overall not bad. My only complaint is some of the objects and their ridiculously difficult graphic display. Some of the scenes I just had to randomly click and hope I hit something, it was that bad. Mostly well done, though.

One of my favorites!
I love this dark intriguing game. A great addition to your Other/Underworld game collection. Don't wanna give anything away...

DON'T BUY
Simply put, there is not one redeeming quality worth spending even $2.99 to buy for this game. There are terrible: HOS, voiceovers (Natasha and Bullwinkle?), run, run, run back and forth to scenes (thank God for the map), games have terrible instructions, story line is just so-so, music was annoying. I found this game frustrating and not any fun to play!

SAVE THE GIRL, THE FBI GUY, AND THE WATER SUPPLY
STORYLINE is about a mad scientist who is trying to mind control people by contaminating their water supply with coca serum , among other things. You must stop him as well as collect your sister from his grasp. Your FBI pal has succumbed to the serum, so you might as well save him too.
GAMEPLAY: Nonlinear. The HO scenes that were large and relatively uncrowded were easy; those that were darker, more crowded and composed of old rusty-looking junk were more difficult. Puzzles were varied and easy to moderately difficult. Hints helpful and recharge rapidly. Start out with a few centralized locations, expanding into quite a few. An interactive map would have been helpful after more locations were added.
OTHER STUFF: 2 modes: casual and hard. Diary. Widescreen available. It has a satisfactory, but a most WEIRD ENDING.
