All I did was read!
Spent 10 minutes trying this game.
Spent 8 Minutes reading the bottom of the screen again and again.
Inane chit chat popped up every time I clicked any item.
Boring and uninteresting, def a no buy for me.

AM GOING PICKIN'...GREAT FUN!
Have been a avid viewer of the show on TV for years....also into collecting old, antique and memorabilia...and now what fun to be able to share with these amazing characters at any time and play.
Storyline is similar to the show...althrough the game there is the familiar remarks but not annoying....music is not boring...and...if into the HOG genre will be of course the 'norm' of pick and find with a 'twist' .... some items are more in value of course than others...am off to buy!
Yes was only a 'demo' but held my interest...four star +

Only because I follow the show
Graphics are a bit muted & some items you need a magnifier or burn a hint
Hint charge fairly fast
The wording of the "talk" pretty much on mark like TV show
HOS somewhat easy side
no voice over
Music is maybe two or three loops-like the old MIDI files, but bluegrassy
I would say if your eyesight is good & like HOS & watch the show, you'd like this game

CLICK ...CLICK...CLICK...TO SKIP
WHAT A BORING GAME !!!
Excess of dialogs and silly comments... thankfully can skip, but there are so many that even this leave you tired !
Excess of yelling every object found!
HOS only (but messy scenes with bad graphics) and "purchases".
Just after HOS has a little eye for you to find another object in the same scene ... but with sparkles and a thermometer to show where it is !!
Hint fills very fast.
Nothing challenging, nothing fun.
Do not know how I tolerated 15 minutes

A big Disapointment
When I first saw the game for today,I was very excited. Than I played for awhile. Not at all what I thought it would be. I love the show,and,Mike,and Frank are great! however,this game is not doing the show justice. You can't make your own deals,you find stuff,pay for it,see how much you made,and that's it. I would like to see a second attempt at this game. But,this time ask the players what they want in the game! You could have a great game,just like you have a great show,but you need help from us! Maybe you should run some kind of contest. See who can give you the best idea's for a new game. Please don't give up,just try again with the fans help! I bought the game before trying it,but I'm sorry to say,it will be deleted. Love your show!!!

If you like the show, you'll love the game
I was a "Beta Tester" for this game and I gave it a pretty good review. It is a great game for beginners into HOG's. I agree that the dialog is a bit much, but the game is trying to be just like the show. The objects are pretty easy to find, and the music doesn't get on your nerves. Again, if you like/love the show, you'll love the game. I happen to love the show and I enjoyed playing. Paying the member price of $6.99 is a good price and it's a good "fill in your time" game. If you don't like the show, antiqueing, or reading dialog, you may want to skip it.

This Is A Road I'm Not Gonna Travel
This is a beginner's game - and it would really help if you were enamoured with the Pickers. I tried it for about 10 minutes - but my hand got sore constantly clicking on Skip Dialogue!

Not A Road I Want to Travel
If you like the TV show you will probably like this one.
Storyline basic - go to different places, find the objects on the list, sell them
Background music OK.
Visually looks alright - not stunning.
The HOG has some very small items to find.
Biggest negative is the huge amount of dialogue - have to constantly click the skip dialogue button.
I got bored very quickly with this game.
I wouldn't buy it (not even if it was a Daily Deal).

A perfect game for US citizens
A very american game (I assume based on a TV show) - probably not for non-us purchasers. The reading of the lines at the bottom of the screen seemed to be pointless and when you deal, there is no bargaining, it's either buy or not buy. Hardly challenging at all with very little animation - the van moving is laughable!
Sorry, cannot recommend for anyone except fans of the show. It is not worth the money for anyone else.
