Make that 3 1/2 stars. This was a BIG improvement over the first game. It had better graphics, a better-developed plot, better puzzles, better writing/translation (though still some errors), better tutorial/directions, and an ending that actually looked like an ending. I didn't find the cut scenes and dialogue annoying at all. I thought it all went with the story, and you could click to speed through it. However, experienced gamers will find this game too easy & leading. It's also quite short, I finished in about 3 hours or so. Players newer to the HOG/adventure genre could do worse though, then to wet their feet with games like this. Tip: I got this one and the first Natalie Brooks from mostfun.com for free, so I didn't feel like I wasted my money on short games. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

Though did decide to not play, I still gave it another chance to see how precise my “feeling” was. I wasn’t disappointed: it’s disappointing as much as I’d thought before. Be looking for the 3rd game but you know what, I do not expect much, especially from the series have pulled me down twice. --- [PROS] Cool and well-charmed 2D graphics. Nice music/audio. Lots of details. Somewhat funny writing. [CONS] Almost bad: from Lil’ Logo to Big Gameplay. Disappointing theme. Little atmosphere. Ugly and onerous 3D-ize visual arts: If you aren’t good at making 3D games, why don’t you choose 2D or 2.5D instead??? (reduce your budget and the game will be more “real” and accessible). Ho-hum story ;( Characters act thoughtlessly. Gameplay’s easier than the first one’s. Zero innovation. Little addiction, much tiring. Ending doesn’t go with animated scenes.

I liked this game a lot, I found it to be funny and entertaining. Since English is not my mother tongue, the errors didn't bother me too much. ;-) The game was a bit too easy, so 4 stars in stead of 5. ;-). Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

More like three to four hours to me and I took my time! Could be an enjoyable game but the ending is too abrupt and the spelling mistakes were begining to annoy me. Too bad because the art is quite nice. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

I enjoyed the game! I had fun! The dialogue is silly but so what! The graphics were cool, the mini-games not too bad. This one is a keeper! Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

My first Natalie Brooks game. This could be a terrific game. The actual game play, and the puzzles are very good and clever, and the music goes well. But the cartoon drawings of the people and actions, and all the reading of the chat is such a turn off. Too bad. Alawar needs to redo this game, and re-release it. It has potential.

I own the first Natalie Brooks and liked it even though it was a short game. I played about 15 minutes of the demo on this sequel and quit. Too much blah, blah, blah. I guess they are trying to make the game seem longer by adding a lot of talking, pop-ups & comic strip scenes. Way too easy for me. The hand holding instructions got really annoying. I don't see any replay value either. I was so looking forward to this game, but walked away disappointed. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate

I didn't like this game at all. Hated the story and too much talk between the characters which was a waste of time. I didn't like the graphics either. Boring game. Give this Review a Kudos Report as Inappropriate
