The Great Gatsby: HOG

First, I must admit I love F. Scott Fitzgerald and love Gatsby. That said, this game has amazingly beautiful visuals that stuns the eye and excites the senses. Moreover, the game is fun and good exercise for your brain. And that's of no small importance. You must find certain objects and even type with an old typewriter. Everything is right out of the twenties. It's a very interactive game. I've found myself way too addicted to it. I used to be addicted to Razzle but now have no time for that. Also, you are not up against the clock with this game. Take your time and just have fun. I advise you to get this while it's free but it's worth the bucks if you want to have a ton of fun and keep your brain sharp.

Having not read the book many of the bits of the story included did not make sense to me, but seemed to be the highlights. It finally got me to start reading it to get all the connections so the story makes more sense to me. I liked the way hidden object games were done, but like another reviewer said, sometimes I had to touch an object a few times before it would register. Not always but enough to be a bit annoying. I also had some trouble replaying scenes after finishing the game. I could get to the scenes to replay them at first, but after a few I could only get to the end screen with the Rate button, no matter what I chose from the main menu. And then the Rate button on that screen didn't work for me. Like someone else said the flow of the game was nicer than other HOG I've tried and was not as tediously repetitive as he last one I played.

Thank you for fixing your IOS update. I adore this as well as all your other hidden objects games. My very last wish is that you would update your Agatha Christie and Hercule Poirot games too. And my truly very very final wish is that you turn more classic books into games. You're so good at it, so respectful of the book, why not try Hemingway, Shakespeare, Jane Langton's Edgar Award winning Homer mysteries. War and Peace, One Hundred Years of Solitude, Beloved, Grendel? There are libraries of books you could make even more educational and enchanting, enticing yet more young people to read. Best.

As others have said, this is a great hidden objects game, especially because of the integration of dialogue and moving scenery. Very unique touches that make it stand out. However, I did find the story a little hard to follow; after completing it, there is a screen that indicates that I can go back and play parts again, but I can't seem to figure out how... I can click on pictures, but not even the "rate us" button works on that screen. If this was fixed, plus Game Center was added, this would be even better.

I don’t care for the solve-a-mystery hidden object games. I want to relax when I sit down with a game. This app is the perfect combination of challenge and enjoyment. This puzzles are fun and just hard enough to make you think, but I never got frustrated. I enjoyed the story as well since I hadn’t read this book since high school a LONG time ago. Lovely graphics, too. I’m removing one star because the scenes cannot be zoomed in. This makes it tough for some of us to distinguish objects. The Hint option, however, worked to offset this shortcoming. All in all, a very enjoyable game. I believe I’ll begin it again!
