I beleive that they are valid until the end of November
That's good news ! Thanks.

This is a good game which I enjoyed but it does have some problems.
During my first time playing the only problem I encountered was in the Extra Game Play after the regular game. One of the puzzle/mini-games did not recognize that I had completed the game successfully. In the game you have to direct a ball from the entrance to the exit by placing directional icons so the ball will not run into any of the obstacles. I completed it and the ball went from the entrance and out the exit just fine. But the game did not allow me to move forward. It would not let me reset or replay the game. I was able to skip the game but this caused me to not get all of the achievements. The achievements are part of what I paid for in the CE version.
During the second time I played the game I got an access violation at the intercom where the teddy bear is inside the box. I opened the game and began to pick up where I left off. I went to the puzzle on the door and it would not let me turn the knobs. When I exited that scene I lost my menu and inventory at the bottom of the screen. I exited the game and opened it again and as soon as I chose Play I lost my menu again. I had to start all over again and create a new profile.
My Nvidia video card is updated. This is so unacceptable in a Collector’s Edition. Collector’s Edition games should be twice as good as regular games and have no glitches.
I should be able to play the game through without glitches and get all of the achievements but I can’t be starting over and losing my progress over and over. This is very disappointing and I don’t feel that I have gotten my money’s worth with this game.

Enjoyed the game, even the extra game play. Beautiful graphics, appropriate soundtrack. The Frog didn't bother me at all. Didn't even notice it after a while as I was involved in the game. Ran into two small tech issues in the game which kept me from receiving all achievements. Had to use a hint on one scene because it would not acknowledge my click (just kinda locked up) but the hint worked and picked exactly what I was clicking. Then a mini game in the extra chapter locked up when I beat it and would not acknowledge the win. Had to hit skip to get out of the scene and progress. Other than those two things no problem with the game.
For all those Fish who find the MCF series too hard, this is for you. I kept thinking this was like MCF lite!  Enjoyable tho' and they do say that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!"
Have fun everyone!

Great game, nice and long, good graphics, story, hog scenes and mini games, you dont find all that in one game very often, bonus game content also good, probably nearly another hours game play on par with MCF, look forward to the next one. well worth the CE price.

Hello out there!
Well, I just finished the demo and I was not particuliarly impressed. The graphics are OK but the music was bothersome and I didn't find that any of the puzzles were very challenging.
I'm happy I tried it but I would not purchase this game, even if it was the regular version and not the CE version. To each their own

First and foremost, this game is looooong! If you take away the time I spent on glitches and fixes, I still got at least 9 hours of good play.
The **** scenes are beautifully, done, junkpile but with a theme that matches every scene. Most of the mini-games are original puzzles, the most important thing in an HOG adventure. Inventory puzzles are fairly linear but there were a few moments when I thought I may need to check the guide. A bit more wandering around to see what I overlooked always took care of that.
While the format is similar to the MCF series, it's not as challenging. I really didn't mind that. I couldn't Play Drawn: 2 for more than a few hours at a time because I would be tempted to skip puzzles. This game offers enough challenge to keep you going without any burn-out. I never used a hint, or skipped a puzzle and get each award on the first go around.
The bonus content was as well done as the actual game. The HOG scenes were a little harder and it had some very charming puzzles. It took me about 1.5 hours to complete (with no hints or skips.)
About the glitches - They're pretty bad. I had to re-download and restart from the beginning. Very frustrating. Fortunately all of the problems have been well documented and the developers should be able to track down the problem.
Even with that, I am not sorry to have purchased this as a CE. The game is gorgeous, as long as an MCF game, has unique puzzles and was fun to play. Even without the bonus content it was worth the price.

Let me first say that the first PC Game I played was RTR and the second was Madame Fate. Boy, was I spoiled early! I thought that all of the games that I would later play would be of the same calibre. This one came close and I enjoyed playing it. The graphics were well done, the length of the game was good, and the mini-games (though not brain-straining) were enjoyable. That being said, I encountered a couple of the same glitches that others have. I figured out after the second profile change that if you didn't complete certain tasks in a certain order, you're likely to hit a snag.
That can be really aggravating after making the decision to fork out the extra money for a CE. I think we hoggers are just so hungry for new games that the developers are rushing them a bit. But all in all, I'm not sorry I spent the money on it. Much more enjoyable than what's in the movie theaters lately.

So glad to know I'm not the only one that thought there had been a drought in the great games dept.
I LOVE this game. Great graphics and storyline. I love that the strategy guide is included as I too sometimes forget where I was when I leave the game and come back to it. The mini games were challenging without being ridiculously difficult and I love having the skip button just in case.
It would be great if one of these days all of us frequent fishy's were rewarded with being able to use a game credit or full punch card to purchase one of these CE games.
Thanks for another great game!

I don't want to to turn down the sounds, I want to enjoy the audio.Please give us a patch to shut him up or something, this is the only reason I WONT purchase the full game. It's one of the most annoying sounds EVER!! Thanks for hearing me out.
That is what I came here to post. I found the toad croaking constantly one of the most annoying things ever. I had to turn the FX off just to get through the demo but then I missed the sound of clicking on something (be it right or wrong).
It also seems strange to me that the first good game to come along happens to be a CE. I have coupon codes and even a game credit sitting there but have not been able to use them this month. *sigh*.
I may have purchased this just to have a decent game to play but the croaking toad and it being a CE have put paid to that idea. Oh well, back to playing old games. Happy gaming everyone.
Ditto- Sorry Frog, but you need to be quite!  We know where you are.
otherwise, Ive enjoyed the game.

I may be somewhat in the minority in that I did not really care for this game. I like to have a little more adventure and problem solving and fewer hidden object areas. But it does have nice graphics, etc., and I can understand how serious hidden object hunters will enjoy the game. I would consider it for a punch card reward when it comes out in regular edition.

I like this game, but the puzzles are pretty simple and I finished the demo with 20 minutes to spare. Not sure how many chapters there are, so I will hold my thoughts. I have been disappointed with the extra content too often buying CE's as of late and feel this one might be the same.

There are 9 chapters + two bonus levels. I'm not sure how long it will take as you're a fast player as I see  But as I read on the forum it took from 5 to 9 hours to play the main part.

Just finished the game. Wow! IMO, this game was on par with Mystery Case Files. Loved the story,graphics,puzzzles and the hidden objects were not to easy or to hard to locate. Big Fish has a "hit" on their hands.
