Cheatbusters

With out a doubt the worse game BF have offered for a long time. I lasted 5 minutes. At first it took three attempts to run it. The graphics are so dated and poor as is the game play and music. In fact the whole thing is like some kind of retro joke. Binned right off.

There's no technical problem thread yet but my problem is that 8 minutes into the demo the game self imploded - quit - caput - and closed itself with the windows dump message.

I had just completed the first H0 scene, got the key to the door, opened the door and then caput.

All I can say is:

Yet another game from gfi, who I dislike almost as much as HdO.

Although in the past I was always able to get a decent-sized picture when I manually reset the resolution, this game is just a small box, no matter what resolution I use. Mind you, I have 8 different settings, and might have missed one or two - getting bored on the way after having to reset the resolution, going into the game, waiting for eons to get past all those titles so I can get out again, and try another resolution.

And then I noticed right there on the main menu that the cursor (you can only use the custom cursor) drags really heavily. That, plus not getting a full picture, plus looking at the screenshots was enough to make me delete the game again and just move on. (Tomorrow is CE day... yayyyy).

Have a great day, everyone.

Sorry, I played for 15 minutes and that was terrible. I feel like a child playing this game.

No buy for me.

I like the straight HOGs, but in this game the list of the objects are drawn, I mean "sketched" without color, and I can't see the difference between "prints" (finger prints), and the real position and look of the objects. Very annoying. Pity.

Valdy, yay twice, I played the beta and got hooked...

The game played OK, and in full screen. The first scene was so dark I could hardly see anything. When I finally found a light bulb, I wanted a lamp to put it in. Thereafter, it seemed to be merely a series of hidden object scenes, a format I grew weary of a long time ago. Sorry, no buy. Oh, there is one small difference, for better or worse: the objects you need to find are little sketches, rather than words or pictures. And the list doesn't show up until you click on the magnifying glass on the right.

I beg to differ. Have you demo'd today's soft release "Whispers"? Now that is bad LOL.

If you hover your cursor over the pictured objects, you will get a written description.

I saw that Sheerija, but still I feel "nervous" (not really lol)...

a truly bad game managed the firsr yard scene before total boredom overtook me

No need, really. The pictures are only to tell you what to look for, not what they look like. It's easy, I promise. Ignore the pictures and just find the objects by word.

This is game is too easy but there are a few "hard" spots. For example some of the placing of items have to be just so.

The words when you curse over the objects help except the ones on the far right side. I had to guess at some, like butterfly net. Couldn't see the whole word and at first thought it was butter-lol Maybe it's my resolution setting. Anyone else with this problem? Then there is that strange word for broom (besom?).

Puzzles are ridiculously easy. No challenge whatsoever.

What is the purpose of the pictures that you take? Where do they go? To picture heaven? There is no journal to keep them in.

Well as they say "tomorrow is another day".

Whispers is so bad BF haven't even put up a forum for it. They know it won't sell. I bought it.

Hmmm, desperate times call for desperate measures.

Yes, also thought it was butter. Besom is a Scottish word for broom. I don't know if it originates from the Scots or not. It's rather old fashioned and not used anymore.

The forum is there, but I had to go through the "all games forums"
to reach it.
