Fenimore Fillmore: The Westerner

Promising but faulty

I bought this after playing the 3 Skulls of the Toltec, and I was looking forward to a similar challenging adventure. While I have only been playing for an hour or so, I am finding the controls very clunky - the mouse pointer jumps and slides all over the place making it very frustrating and time-consuming trying to select or use any object. Because of this progress is very slow. Another thing I am finding annoying is that sometimes you can't use or interact with an object until you've done something else. For example, I tried to water the carrots with a bucket of water but it wouldn't let me do this until I'd had dialogue with another character who advised me to water the carrots. At the moment, I can very clearly see a tree house I'm supposed to be looking for, but apparently can't do anything with it until I get a tracker dog to help me "find" it. This was a flaw in the 3 Skulls too, but combined with the clumsy and difficult controls, it is much more annoying in this game. So far I haven't come across any challenging puzzles, it has just been a matter of finding and using things in obvious ways. I can see the game has promise, and when I am feeling more patient, I will give it another go but right now I am fed up with it.
