Youda Legend

I was soooo excited reading about this HOG being played in Amsterdam , the city where I was born and lived until the age of 22, so immediatly I started downloading << still busy<<, but then:..... reading all your comments I'm so afraid 2 become disappointed ; but hope at least to be able to recognize some Amsterdam scenes as I had a happy life there at the time and then Amsterdam was still a very safe worldcity to live in

Will keep you posted after having played the demo.

Bought the game and it is filled with minigames, it is getting harder when you go allong. Beatifull scenery, stuff I never new excisted in Amsterdam. Canals underground!!?? Probably just the fantasy of the developer, I don't mind, I just love this stuff. It is a 100% HOG but with very interesting minigames.

Love it and i don't agree with a lot of comments over here. Especially comment of people that just played it for 5 or 10 minutes.

Youda Legend sure is a game for me.

Just finished! Definitely gets better as you go on but I only got about another hour/hour and a half after the demo time.

Thank you CasualScout

your view about this game does give me lots of hope and I'm sure I'll buy it when my next credit will come along.

To be honest : as being native from A'dam, I left there 44 years ago 2 go 2 live in some other European countries.
I'll have 2 dig deep into my memories if indeed there are Canals underground, but I think so (should be possible to 'ask' Google I suppose).
Anyhow ALL houses, etc. in Amsterdam, still, are build on very long, deep in the ground going, pilefoundations; so that means anyhow the ground is full of water.
I do have a Histocal Amsterdam Guidebook from +- 1300 aC onwards until 1963, but right now no time to start reading, as I'll have to leave now; but when time I'll let U know.

Besides:

maybe interesting to know as well:
Amsterdam and Antwerp/Belgium diamond industries were/are well known for their cutting raw diamond-skills + trading ; although I believe now London latelyis as well.
"DIAMONDS ARE (still !!!) A GIRLS BEST FRIENDS" ( aren't they ???)

Now I'll have to dash.

Well, I for one or maybe a few, love this game. Have waited a long long time for a hidden object game and now "finally" one is here! Thank you, Big Fish. I know there are some that like tm, dash, and match three games but i do not -so wait for HOG. Hope there are more to come next week. Off to play so everyone have a good safe day and enjoy the week-end.

Forgot to say how guilty I felt stealing all those diamonds - especially the ones in the jewellery store! Waiting for the police to come and arrest me!

An average nice HOG, not really a great game. It's one of those games where nothing really stood out to make it a must buy game.

The first thing that turned me off was that the developer had to put their name in the game title. At least SpinTop puts their name inside the game in a bit more discrete way. Either way, it reminds me of a male cat marking his territory.

Music was pleasant, but almost put me to sleep. It reminded me of those CD's you play when you go to bed to help you sleep.
(btw... why do you need to turn the music down in the game? I have sound controls on my speakers which sit on each side of my monitor - I LOVE my speakers which weren't that expensive really - at Target I believe)

Graphics were ok. Not bad, not great. The colors were all in the same darkish bland scheme.

Hidden Objects were easy to find. There were a couple scenes where I went in and didn't even read the list - just started clicking and I was correct 90% of the time. Once an item is clicked on, it takes a long time for it to disappear (like slow motion) and at one point I had about 6+ items lit up just waiting in line to disappear from my list.

Mini games break up the repetitious hidden object hunt, but they were very easy.

Story was just ok. Something weird about how it started and went along. Can't quite explain it, but I felt like I just walked into the middle of an on going conversation or situation. My very first thought was, "Why am I in Amsterdam?" I guess I was on a vacation. My second thought was, "Why am I hunting around for stuff?" I guess it's because I found a map all torn up in my "clean" hotel room. If I found a torn up map in my hotel room, I would complain about the maid service and then think the previous guest had a crappy time in Amsterdam.

Hints were bountiful by finding the diamonds scattered about and the hint gauge filled up pretty fast. I'm not sure if you could skip a mini game since I felt no need to. There was a ? over on the right side of the screen so that was either a hint or a skip icon.

No offence intended to anyone for my stereotyping, but this is the only way I can describe the game....... It reminded me of a good game to bring to my grandmother (if she were alive) in the senior citizen's home. The whole game felt "old" to me.

Now I hear that it only took another 1 to 1.5 hours to complete after the 1 hour demo. So not a long game.

1,5 hours to finish it!! Then you probably are an expert. I am still on it. I am not specially a HOG lover, but this game just got to me. Can't explain why, maybe I am more Amazed by the scenery. And some of the mini games later on aren't easy at all...it is building up at the right pace for me.

1,5 hours....wish I was that good...after the demo I am playing 3 hours already and don't see the end of it yet. Know what i will be doing at my boring Sunday

I didn't think I was that fast - but I've got the diamond to prove it!

There was nothing in the game that I haven't done several times before ( that isn't a complaint BTW) Most of the mini games were pretty easy for me and -when in doubt- search the dark areas!

Sorry if I've put anyone off buying because of my 'time' - but when I'm done I'm done and I know there are a lot quicker than me!

Enjoy everyone!

Can you imagine how short the game would seem if the ****'s didn't float in slow-mo?

I could probably finish it fast also since it was pretty easy and I have played a lot of **** & Puzzle games that were a lot harder then this game. I'm working on Big Brain Wolf right now. I LOVE the puzzles.

To be quite honest, I didn't even notice the scenery. I guess I was paying more attention to the game play.

Hi all ..

Gosh, i was looking forward to this game, have just downloaded it, not sure wither to even try it now ....

Anyone heard of any new Hogs that are coming out soon ???

Lou

I really like the game. But I am stuck on the rings. How do you get them in the jewerly box in the right order. Can anyone help me, please.

We were promised a couple of 'great' ones this week!!!!
Don't let what you read put you off - a free hour is a free hour - then you can decide for yourself!

Don't want to spoil for anyone but

the blue arrows mean blue!!!!!!!!!!!

the numbers are important!!!!!!!!!!!!

The game was okay, not great. And yes, it was slow! I really hate that when you only have a one hour trial. I don't really see myself buying this one. Maybe if it was offered in some sort of a 99¢ special.

An enjoyable HOG.
Lovely scenes of Amsterdam.
Non-cluttered arrangement of objects.
Music had a mysterious tone to it.
Made a purchase before end of demo.

Thanks weeharleyboy. But what about the square rings? My brain not working. HELP!!!

Don't want to 'spoil' will PM you!

Ok, thankyou.
