Vaguely recall playing this game some years back. Tried playing this game again.
First thing I noticed was that the graphics were fairly good and clear, but a bit "cartoonish" looking which I don't really like.
Inclusion of a map was useful, but you couldn't click on another location on the map to travel instantly to that location, unfortunately. So it required a fair amount of slow back-tracking going through several locations to get to the required locations which was not really helpful.
The "evidence board" where evidence (photos, notes, messages etc) that was collected had to have the evidence placed in certain locations on the evidence board. And it required clicking several times through the evidence details also. The game would not progress further properly until all this was done.
The requirement to use the evidence board was found to be a bit annoying in the end. This was especially where evidence had to be placed in the correct location on the board, which was usually guess work or hit and miss!
Overall a mediocre game.
This game might suit some, but this game was not really for me.
I don't recommend this game.

Played this game until game decided I couldn't proceed further (to the attic). Game seemed to stop at this point!? Tried under Windows 7 64 bit and also tried under Windows XP 32 bit. Game stopped exactly at the same point!
Apparently others have been having similar issues with this game freezing/stopping!?
But what was played, the graphics were far too "cartoonish" looking. And the severe tilt angled scene (at the playground) was annoying!
Hints sometimes pointed to areas several scenes away. And it was not clear which scene the hint was in! So it required fumbling around from scene to scene to find the "hint"! Not a very helpful hint system!!
Really didn't like this game. It has now been removed, bugs and all!!!
I don't recommend this game.

This game is very heavy on finding hidden objects. Fairly simple plot..
Mixed quality graphics. Some graphics are clear/sharp, but many hidden objects are of low quality and are blurry.
Far too much re-visiting previously searched areas to find more hidden objects.
Most hidden objects were relatively easy to find.
Had to search six locations every time before finding the next key or clue to finishing the game at the last location. Limited number of locations available, and limited number of hidden objects made the task tiresome/monotonous/boring.
There were the occasional spot the difference, assemble torn up letter/note, and solving/opening box puzzles, but these tended to be repetitive and boring also.
Could hardly wait to finish this game and move on to another one with less hidden objects and more adventure/plot.
Suitable for those who like just searching for hidden objects.
Game is not really suitable for those who prefer a little more adventure, more plot, and more variety, like myself.
Overall not a good game.
I don't recommend this game.

Nothing really new here with this game.
Plot is a bit screwy.
What happened to all the other passengers from the cruise ship?
Natives were apparently only trying to help our character to survive as it turns out. But why were the natives firing arrows at her, and keeping her in cages etc??
Mixing era's here, with a pirate ship turning to rescue her, and yet a modern day helicopter turns up as well for the rescue!!??

The hidden objects were overall just a bit too small and too well hidden to be found (relatively) easily.
When collecting items to complete tasks, items MUST go to specific "slots" even when the items are identical! This often required retrying different identical "slots" until the item was finally accepted! This retrying was found to be quite annoying!!
Overall, not a particularly good game!!
I don't recommend this game.
