As always, please remember to come back and tell us what you think.

Happy gaming!

Thanks Marian! I'm not into this type of HOG too much (love the old types like Ravenhearst) but I may have to check this one out.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing, ob.

They'd be more accurate making a shooter game.

Thanks, Marian

I was going to comment on whether they would have anything like that in the game but I was a good girl and kept my silence!

Well oldbroad, I think you and I being Chicagoans gives us the right to express our feelings about what's happening. I would never pick on where anyone else lives, but you can say what you like about your own "home".

I too kept my silence, but you two are more than entitled to offer your opinions!

I will say, though, that I am very glad that I was able to spend time in and around Chicago in the 1960s and 1970s. Good memories.

Marian! Those were fantastic years to be in Chicago. I really loved my city and so glad to have grown up there.

Definitely, Ana!

I went ahead and bought this game during the last BOGO sale even though it will probably show up cheaper in a bundle. I played a little bit of it today. You can play with no timer, a 10 minute timer, or a 3 minute timer. I went for the 10 minutes. There are 4 scenes available on the first screen and you need 7 stars to open up the next screen of 4 scenes. Apparently, you only get 1 star at a time though. I'm not really certain of that but that's all I was able to get. I played the 4 scenes 2 times each and ended up with 8 stars total, 1 on each scene play through. You can play in word, silhouette, scrambled word, or mirror mode. I only played in the regular word mode and received all different items on the second play through of each scene.

So far, no guns or smash and grab scenes, or muggings. I did find a giraffe outside of China Town though, as well as the Eiffel Tower in two different scenes. There was a rat (or maybe it was just a mouse) on the el platform though.

I'm not sorry I bought the game and am looking forward to what else I'll see.

Great, ob! Thanks for letting us know about the game.
