I like the old games and this is old school fun. Unlike the other Becky Brogan game, this has unlimited hints and creepy music, rather than creepy sounds. It's just hidden object scenes, one after the other, with the added bonus of one or two simple puzzles within the scene, with a small inventory of objects, which opens up other scenes. I loved the storyline, very intriguing and I was drawn into it, quite disturbing, creepy and intricate. Lots of reading, if you like that sort of thing. The only trouble was, it ended quite abruptly, without any satisfying resolution. It drew you in and then let you down a bit at the end but there it is. I still liked it though.

I bought this for my husband because he caught me playing the demo and really liked it. So, we played it together. I couldn't have played it alone. I would have got frustrated with it. Excellent graphics and sound. I liked the uniqueness of translating some of the languages the characters speak. I didn't like how the hints work. They don't hold your hand and take you were you need to go. They sort of tell you what to do. Hints and skips take forever to charge up. I thought puzzles were challenging and interesting. I did iike the storyline and one of its strong points was its good atmosphere. Ending was okay, perhaps a little abrupt and perhaps it was a little short. I gave this a four star simply because I think quality wise, it's a good game and recommend it for people who like a bit more of a challenge without everything being handed to them on a plate.
I recommend this game!

I liked this game for the unusual gameplay on some of the HOS. There's one in particular where you click on sound files and have to guess the object that way and it was a lot of fun. You can also find objects through a storyline type situation and through a series of clues. In fact there were many ways of finding objects and that's what I particularly liked about the game. As well as the three cute bear hints you can collect in every scene, or nearly every scene. I do wish there had been more hints though. The graphics were okay and I liked the environmental sound effects. There were 74 levels, so sometimes it was a bit tiring. It just never seems to end but you do get your money's worth in that way.

Great environmental sound effects and atmosphere. The graphics were a little crude, quite old school but then again it's not a new game. I loved all the little shocks and surprises. I would have given it five stars except for two things, firstly, I got lost at one point for a long time and had to be rescued by my husband! The hint button wouldn't take me to the place I needed to go, which was the brick wall where one of the talisman's had to go. I have very poor direction in real life too, so I really need my hand held when it comes to knowing which way to go.
Also, I found the demo to be much more exciting than the actual game. I know the demo is supposed to entice but I never fail to be surprised when the full game doesn't live up to the amazing demos. I wish they could sustain the level of excitement and fun right through the game. It was a little short but I liked the ending. Not much replayability but all in all a decent game.

This had bags of atmosphere, great storyline and plot (although I wasn't sure/satisified about the conclusion. i.e who they said the killer was. I don't think it's him). I like that it made me think and look up the suspect on google the next day. A game that provokes thought and research can't be bad!
The graphics were okay, a bit old school, but it is an old game.The game play was okay but not straight forward a lot of time. I enjoyed the voice overs. There was good relatable and realistic characterisations throughout. In the cut scenes, I just got sound, no graphics. Overall, a decent, memorable game and well worth a play.

The graphics were very nice and I liked the popping sound when I found an object. The scenes repeat quite a bit. Objects were not too hard and not too easy to fnd. It was quite obvious early on who the murderer was. I would have liked some environmental sound effects instead of just music. That would have nudged my score up a bit.

What I like most about this game is the enviromental effects. Most of them are creepy at best, downright terrifying at worst. Half the time, you're wondering, 'What exactly was that noise?' and 'How did the sound producers make it?' It must have been fun in that sound studio.
The objects can be a little difficult to find at times but usually they are in plain view and are just blended quite well into the graphics. They did repeat scenes a lot and I would have liked a bit more variety. There is an object detector in the form of a ringing bell. When you get close to an object, the bell gets louder. The hints are limited, you start off with a few and the rest come in the form of cats. The cat sounds were very disturbing sometimes but a lot of fun. I felt that the horror was a bit tongue in cheek, it didn't take itself too seriously. A lot of the older games did have a sense of humour.

I've not really watched the television series 'Murder, She Wrote' with Angela Lansbury as Jessica Fletcher but I'm thinking that I might dig out the epsiodes now. There are five stories to play in this game. I thought the first one was the whole game. They last at least half an hour and they are intricate, complex murder mystery stories played out beautifully with lots of good pacing, minimal animation and lashings of suspense. I never figured out who had done it. There were so many twists and turns. One time there was one suspect I thought who had definately done it and the next minute I thought it might be someone else. Great storytelling, dialogue and narration. Great characters too. This is a straight forward hidden object game, old school. There are five letters to find (typewriter keys) in each scene, usually vowels, which will fill in the gaps in the words, in the object list. The objects are not too easy and not too hard to find. It's a very cosy game, relaxing and interesting at the same time. It's a HOG with the added bonus of watching five really gripping murder mysteries.

This game has everything I like about Hidden Object Games. It has straight forward HOS and nothing else, very little dialogue, good storyline, nice graphics and good atmosphere and environmental sound effects in each scene. It also has unlimited hints and puzzles which can be skipped. There is one little puzzle in each HOS, that you have to do, which is not difficult. However, it won't lead you by the hand. Even if you use a hint, you won't be able to solve the puzzle, you will have to do that all by yourself. It's not too difficult though. It's a small challenge in each HOS. Nothing is ever impossible or too difficult. Objects are sometimes hard to find, but generally okay. I like all the red herrings in the HOS. For example, you might be looking for roller skates but they will have ice skates in there. They do that consistantly and it's a nice and unusual touch. They have moving parts in the HOS, which I always love, animals moving around, smoke, rain etc.
The subject matter is a little dark, so I wouldn't recommend this for children. There's definately some adult themes going on here. It ended up in the air and I thought what is going on but guess what, there's a sequel. Can't wait!

It was designed to be a trip down memory lane but I'm not so sure that they got there. On some levels, it did simulate the older Mystery Case Files, notably Huntsville and Prime Suspect. It has the same great quirky and epic end-of-level mini games but the characters aren't as vivid. It also misses out atmospherically but still has good environmental effects and the graphics are excellent. I liked the fact that there was an immediate skip on puzzles.That was an improvement on the old games. The objects were far too easy to find. There were some interesting puzzles in the HOS which I would like to see more of. The HOS are not as fun and quirky and interesting, as the old. The most annoying thing is the cut scene in between each and every HOS, when you walk down the same corridor, accompanied by the same music and open the same door. I don't think that was needed. Once is quite enough.
Games trying to emulate old ones are only able to do so very roughly and generally, due to all the new technologies and elvolving progress in game development. I think because of that, retrofit doesn't really work.
Comparing it to the older games made me want to give it a three star rating but that's not fair. If I wasn't making comparisons, for nostalgia's sake, I would give it four stars and so that what it's going to get.
