Full Game Review
It’s the greatest city in the world, a perfect setting for a video game. Big City Adventure: New York City has a title that infers an exciting video game experience. And yet, despite the name as flashy as the lights in the city itself, Big City Adventure: New York City is just another hidden object game.
GAME PLAY
Big City Adventure: New York City tries to have a story line, but it is forced and unnecessary. Players choose from any of six characters, covering the immediate family and grandparents. These characters have no names, beyond the likes of, “Brother,” and no purpose once the game begins.
The game breaks itself into different Big Apple locations, each of which is a picture filled with images that are hidden and need to be found. Big City Adventure: New York City differentiates itself by having plenty of objects hidden within the picture, not all of which need to be found. Just because there is a monkey on a taxi-cab, doesn’t mean that you need to click on it. Also, these New York City landscapes symbolize the circus that is the Big City, and some of these otherwise strange views are actually the norm. The way these images are cluttered make the game more like a “Where’s Waldo” seek-and-find game than many of the hidden object games that are already cluttering up the web.
GRAPHICS
The few images outside of the various scenes are very basic in design and color scheme. The scenes themselves are much more detailed by necessity, but not so much as to distinguish itself amongst the glut of hidden object games.

AUDIO
The music of Big City Adventure: New York City is about as generic as it gets. The sound effects that mostly only accompany object clicks, are also nothing new. This game can be played with the sound off.
OVERALL
Big City Adventure: New York City has one minor distinction, but is, for the most part, just extension of all the similar games that are already available for download. It is faultless, but uninspired.
