I got this game free and I liked it, but it was pretty easy. The "puzzles" were simple and the HO scenes were typical where you find random objects that don't help you solve the mystery. the plot/story was told in journal fashion like the Mystery Case File games. Just pay the free trial first to see if you want to continue. It is fun and the themed rooms are beautiful, but it is pretty predictable.
I recommend this game!

This wasn't the hardest game I've ever played, but the plot and graphics were lovely! It is a modern mystery. It was really creepy to see all these dead bodies and creepy occurrences happening on a pristine Greek island. I really felt like I was a part of the action. This is also not gender specific; men and women can play this and have equal fun because it is definitely not girly or masculine, just a good story. There were HO and puzzles galore, as well as tidbits about Greek culture. The map was extremely helpful. I was never bored. I will play this again and again just to try to find all the green mosaics (play the game to see what I mean)!
I recommend this game!

Not true to the book really. Die-hard Christie fans probably wouldn't like this game. But if you like easy, typical HO games, this is worth it. There are limited hints but the objects are easy to find. The objects are random and don't help solve the mystery much. Good game, good graphics, ok plot.
I recommend this game!

Slightly harder than other Poirot games, thus better

The plot of this game is not as true to the Agatha Christie book as the other Poirot games. The HO scenes are pretty easy. There are a few easy puzzle-type things, but it is mostly looking for random objects that don't help solve the mystery. I like all the Hercule Poirot games, but they are not hard and they do get boring after a few times through. I recommend playing the free trial before buying. If you love Christie, buy this. If you don't, check out Mystery Case Files or Dark Parables.

There are no hints for this game so the puzzles can take a very long time to complete. The hidden objects are also tiny. I think it is a good game, and it is not too long, but I gut stuck on scenes quite a few times which was really frustrating. I still liked it though, though not as much as the dark parables or mystery case file games.
I recommend this game!

The HO scenes for this games are still pretty easy as far as HO games go, but they are harder than the other games in the series. I still love the characters in this series. This game has a little better graphics than the other three games (still not realistic, but more beautiful this time). Worth 7 bucks, in my opinion.
I recommend this game!

I love the characters in this game series and the graphics and music are fun, though not realistic. The HO scenes are pretty easy but I never grow tired of playing these games. Samantha is the female Indiana Jones and she has some great cheesy one-liners!

Sam Swift is the female Indiana Jones. All the Swift games are pretty easy in regards to the HO scenes, but the characters are fun and the plots are well thought-out (though not perfect). Definitely worth the 7 bucks on Big Fish. These games might not be hard, but you never get tired of playing them over and over. this games has some of the best graphics of the series. Also, you should play them in order; this one is second. Roses of Athena is the first game.
I recommend this game!
