Sadly, this game didn't have much to keep me entertained so I gave up after a good while :( The finding fragments of certain items search was no fun, I mean a key is split up in 5 tiny pieces? no thank you. The graphics were so so. The characters all resemble real life celebrities, which was the most amusing part of the game for me.

I didn't finish this one, but I did play it for awhile. The characters were fun; I think they were all meant to look like famous people in Hollywood, but I wasn't able to place a few of them. The seek-and-find games were fun; I liked the variety in the kinds of seeking you have to do. However, the story was severely lacking. It's impossible to even remotely believe anything going on. We're supposed to be a detective... but we spend the entire game gathering props and fixing sets for movies. Why bother with the detective angle at all? It's a cliche in seek-and-find games and this game would've been greatly improved by a story where we play an aspiring set designer or something. By the time I stopped playing, I was really tired of the main character pretending like she even cared what happened to the missing actress/money, let alone was trying to solve a "case" of some kind. We just spent our time cleaning up movie sets while other people ran around to get "information" for us which mostly amounted to "I think someone on this other set might know something..." which ended up leading us in gigantic circles. Again, toss out the worn out "detective" story line and make the whole game make more sense! An additional gripe: The broken objects are a fun variation on the seek-and-find theme, but it's hard to tell with the slight dimming/darkening of the objects which ones you've found and which you're still looking for. Definitely made things a lot harder. In all, this game has some potential and some good parts... but it's missing that certain something.

I like this game! It is funny, lighthearted, and very much tongue-in-cheek. Pretty much all of NevoSoft's HO games are this way. That is what makes them so much fun for me. No life-and-death serious scenarios, just plain goofing around. Tried to give it 4 stars, but it didn't register.

Started out liking this game, but as game play progressed I became disenchanted with it. The biggest gripe I had was the fragmented items were very difficult to find. Second the time allotted was not adequate. I play a lot of HOG and can usually finish a scene with time to spare, but when the game takes time away for random clicks (because the fragments are so difficult to see) it becomes difficult to complete some scenes. Do not like that!! I will NOT purchase this game.

Couldn't finish this one, lame dialog and typos are annoying. And who wants to look for BROKEN bits of object. Less that satisfying.

I really enjoyed this game the only reason I did not buy it because they did not give you enough time, and I had to keep replaying scenes till I got tired of doing that, otherwise I would have bought the game

This game is boring, boring, boring!!! Every scene sets the same tasks over and over, and the dialogue is over long, uninteresting and unbelievable. I uninstalled this game after 20 minutes, WHAT A BIG WASTE OF TIME!! I would rather do housework

Like others, I got stuck on the 30 objects in 60 seconds. After several tries, I had to give up. This is the first HOG I could not finish. Bummer.

It has a great lenght, granted but the tasks become quickly boring in the end. The reasons for finding objects are ludicrous. Some games are lame : dusting, match the cards...Too bad, it had potential!

I thought this was a very pleasant game. The characters and dialogue were cute. I was pleased it was so long in length. I did notice some spelling and grammar problems. And at one point a male character had a female character description. The graphics were good. The items were not too small. While it is not a challenging, it is a good basic HOG.
