Not really Chicago style
This game was not boring, but not exciting either. The graphics could have been better because Chicago is a big city, there should have been more colors. The storyline was ok. I do not regret buying the game, because it was ok, but its not in the list of my favorites.

Not a Blackout-a Real Eye Opener
This is a good HOG, some were a little small but most were very doable. Hints were quick if you did get stuck. Having riddles for some HOs was fun and made you think a little more. Puzzles were good and fun. I liked this game a lot. Well worth buying.

Would like to buy it but...
I like this game. The gameplay is fun, there is some interactivity, and finding items by a definition or description adds to the challenge. The downside for me is that it is SO slow to load scenes and the graphics are poor. Blurry? Fuzzy? Whatever it is, when I have to use a magnifier to find items, it's a no-buy for me.
I would recommend it for the fun factor though, so try it for yourself.

Frustrating at times
This is a differnt kind of hidden object game. Some of the hidden objects you have to find are not what you may think they are. On the mini games, you do not get a skip button you will have to finish the game. It is frustrating at times, but it is a good and fun game. The object is to find your lost identity. I would recommend this game.

OK, but really bad graphics.
In this day and age of "retina"...the graphics are pretty pixelated. I'm pretty fussy about this, hence, the low rating. Other than that not a bad game.

Save your money !!!
Big Fish has so many exellent games - so I recomment that you buy one of those and skip this one.
Based on the trial..... this is one of the most boring games I have ever played. Actually.... this game feels like an insult compared to the many games with good grafics, storylines and challenge that BF has come up with.
Basically one gets 3 easy HO-scenes followed by an over-easy mini-game. Then 3 Ho's followed by... etc. etc....
I admit to have had troubles finding items a couple of times, but only because of poor descriptions - like when a tennisball turn out to be a basketball... really ??? !!!
I'd say... if - and only if... this game could be of interest, it could be for beginners who have never tried HO-games before - and even then I could mention at least 20-30 games to prefer over it.
All in all: a waste of time and a waste of money - even as a DD.
I don't recommend this game !

disappointing
Maybe I wasn't at my brightest when I tried this but it was too difficult for me. I like the slightly tricky clues but got stuck at about level five. The clue says "place the cigarette". I found the cigarette all right but could't find any where to place it and the hint doesn't help - just keeps indicating the cigarette. I have plenty of hidden object/puzzle games which I enjoy much more than this!

For Beginners Only
I chose story mode, except there is no real story. I am not a big fan of HO that has stuff everywhere, out of perspective, and has little to do with the story. The clues were clever, the graphics adequate, the music was a plus, the game loaded quickly for me and the interface was okay but I prefer an adventure not a series of pictures taking me from one local to another. Potential is there and someone trying their first HO has only up to look forward to. It wasn't even worth it on DD for me to buy.

Horrid.
I think I?m entering a bit of a phase here, because this is the third game out of four that I?ve hated recently! Everything about this game was just BAD.
The storyline was very hard to follow, and not very interesting at all. You wake up with no memory of how you got there, and the game offers no reason of why you are where you are. You have to collect notes to solve the mystery so the game says, but these notes are boring, pointless and a waste of time.
The graphics were grainy and horrible, and not very good compared with today?s standard of games, overall they were very disappointing.
Some of the HOS were confusing as well, with random clues and place the something. If I needed a hint as to where to place something, it would direct me to the thing I needed to place.
I love PopCap but this game has got to be one of the most boring games I?ve ever played in my life. Skip this, forget it exists.
