Superb Game
As the game title suggests there are plenty of spiders to keep you on your toes so anyone suffering from arachnophobia beware.
The game has three game modes and I am playing on the advanced one which is the middle of the three. There are plenty of mini games which are different from the usual ones that we've all seen before many times, there are h.o. scenes too but not one after the other thank goodness. The graphics, gameplay and story are very polished and well thought out, sometimes I get the feeling that the creators either run out of ideas or just can't be bothered to do different things but not with this game, in fact I can't wait to get back to it so with that I will leave you all and just hope that you enjoy it as much as I am.

[color=#fe0000][b]WARNING :[/b][/color] if you have arachnophobia don't even look at the game, it's crowded with them (mechanical ones mostly but looking so real).
Interesting story, a woman has turned her husband's invention into something quite evil and she doesn't hesitate to kill to reach her goals. This game looks really good, I have loved The Keepers, a real CE, with 2 chapters in the bonus play...I think I fell in love with this one too !!! Bought it straight away.

Arachnophobia!
Those frightened of spiders should not play.
Different beginning... train ride, girl comes to cabin door and when you open it, mechanical spiders attack the train, wrap the girl in a cocoon and drag her away. The story is afoot.
Options for music, sound, voice, custom cursor and full screen.
Difficulty levels are casual, advanced and hardcore
Game Play:
Journal and a navigatable map.
Live actors
Appropriate music
Decent graphics
Easy mini-games
Problems: Converstation sort of make sense, There is a bit of a disconnect, but you can make sense of it.
Error message pops up in game often but was able to click OK several times and it would go away. Imagine this will be fixed with a patch.
Overall - pretty fun stuff.
Game music is appropriate. They use live actors

Masterful Artwork! Awesome Black Widow Spider-Woman!
Awesome artwork with bright, vibrant colors in this somber Hidden Object, Puzzle, Adventure Game. Lots of spiders, webs and other insects, oh my! The Black Widow Spider Woman is gorgeous and deadly!
A train is stopped at the Andville Station and can go no further due to sticky spider webs. A woman who entered your cabin is suddenly attacked by mechanical spiders, wrapped in the silky threads and taken away in front of your eyes. You must help her! Forget the vacation! Forget the cup of tea!
Game moves at a more relaxed pace and will appeal to all age groups.
BFG has heard our requests for more Adventure-type games that have equal amounts of puzzles, mini-games and hidden-object scenes and this is one of those games.
Thanks to ginger gal, sporty gal, Nilosh, rosekaufmann and other faithful BFG reviewers. I read your reviews daily and would like to see more of your Current Favorites!
Enjoy! -Mama Mia-
P. S. If you have a fear of spiders, this game may cure you or send you screaming into the next room!

Fabulous!!
Bought this game immediately after playing demo for 20 mins. The graphics are outstanding. At first i thought same old creepy genre HOG but it surprised me. Love the real life actors with real voice overs and the hint button fills up quite quickly even on advanced mode. The HOS are interactive as is the map which is always a bonus. Think i'll spend a lazy Sunday afternoon on this one. Thank you Big Fish :-)

A riviting game, perfect for a rainy Sunday !
This game was great. I was sucked in to the story from the very begining. I think spiders are very creepy but it did not bother me that they were a major player in the game. The story line was very well done and the bonus game was the perfect prequel to the game. I like it when the bonus game is a big part of the story, it makes the CE well worth it for me.
The graphics were stunning. i found myself pausing to take in the scenery throughout. Music great, voice overs great.
No compaints here. I played the whole game in one sitting and loved it all. I think all of the player should enjoy this game.
thanks again BF, we are getting spoiled lately with great games. Yay for us.

New mini games!
I think this game was very well thought out. It has great graphics,good sound and voice overs Three play levels,. My demo hour went by very quickly as I found the game story line to be absorbing. Some might find the mechanical spiders a little creepy, but the story weaves around them very nicely. Hint button recharged quickly.The hidden objects were interactive, findable items. There was one puzzle in the train station that referred to the journal for a clue as how to do it. The print was so small that it was too hard for me to see and I ended up skipping it out of frustration as did not want to spend the entire hour on it. I was pleased to run across new puzzles however. I think the collectors edition will be worth buying. Nice job on this game.

What Fun!!
I own almost 100 Big Fish games. This is one of the few that I have become addicted to. Couldn't stop playing it. The kids had pizza for dinner.... Not that they minded. Characters are well drawn and believable, the story line is fun. Great job!

SUPERB GAME
I was hooked right from the beginning. Very creepy tone to this game. The spiders make me squeamish but that is the fun part of this game. I feel like they can come out of the screen at any time and wrap me up in their cocoons!!. Just the fact this game is loaded with all kinds of bugs makes it fun because that what makes this game so unusual. Good story line, good graphics, loads of fun/different games. The only thing I do not like is the characters in the story...they talk too slow. They look good and are appropriate for each scene but I would like the dialogue to go faster. This is a great game if you want to be on the edge of your seat at all times. I know I am.

Fantastic game!
Based on the demo, I thought this game was fantastic.
It has amazingly crisp and detailed graphics, real actors, a clear strategy guide.
I loved the mechanical spiders.
The journal lets you replay the video of each scene.
It has 3 play modes to choose from, quite easy hidden object scenes, good mini puzzles.
The hint button recharges quickly.
The music is good. Beautiful concept art in the extras section, and some of the wallpapers are just amazing.
I loved the general atmosphere and thought it provided good entertainment.
