From all the reviews, I thought this would be a good game. I was pretty let down. Here are my thoughts on the game:
Good Parts:
A very spooky game
Gripping storyline
Some hard to find objects put a good twist on the game

Bad Parts:
The minigames were annoying and unnecessarily hard
60 seconds to recharge the hint on casual mode. About half my free trial was spent just recharging the hint
The majority of the time I couldn’t figure out what to do.

For all the positive reviews, it wasn’t a very good game. I’d still recommend it though.

I've bought all games except this one. This is really where everything started going downhill for the series. Here are my thoughts on the game:
Good Parts:
The funny and weird locations such as the aquarium
Almost every character was new. Gave you another chance to meet characters and new ones to hate.
The cocktail table. It was really great for people waiting in line
The Mother In Law character. I found her rather funny, havingt put her around seats to see which one she liked.

Bad Parts:
Roxy. She was a total pain in the neck. She took forever to eat and there were two parts to her disaster.
The double seating of Greg and Herb and Chloe and Kathleen
They've changed the animation so everything looks totally stupid
The Bride and Groom are seated and you can't change them like 4-ever so it makes life very difficult.
The Storyline. It was totally ridiculous.

Overall, this is the worst wedding dash of the series. I wouldn't blame you if you skipped this one and went right to the 4th or just stopped here altogether
I don't recommend this game.
Sort through suspects, weapons, motives, and evidence as you aide Inspector Parker in solving the mystery of Misanthrope Manor.

I first played this game about 3 years ago and still love playing it. Here are my thoughts on the game:
Good Parts:
The classic feeling of all the Parker games
It had profiles of all the possible victims and murderers
The game tricked you sometimes
There was no limit on how many hints you could use
Had 2 modes- puzzle and timed
You could play a level whenever you wanted by choosing 'Play a Level'

Seemed to be the same killer all the time- it was never Ophelia and it was rarely Harriet
Some of the later levels were easier than the levels beforehand which was just weird.

Overall, this game will entertain you, even years after you finish it. It's definitely worth buying.
I recommend this game!

This game was yet another great instalment in the Big City Adventure series and I can’t wait for the next one. Here are my thoughts on the game:
Good Parts:
It was like I was on a tour of London and I didn’t even have to leave my house
The achievements added extra motivation to the game
Beautiful music and locations
As usual, Big City Adventure is out to trick you with the challenging placement of the objects, such as looking for a pen. I spent 5 minutes trying to find it and it was the ‘PEN’ in ‘OPEN’
Unlike Vancouver, I didn’t lose interest in the game because I knew a fair bit about London beforehand and wanted to explore

The only bad thing about this game would have to be the opening scene. It was incredibly annoying and boring, but luckily, you could skip it.

Overall, this is yet another great hidden object game. This is my favourite Big City Adventure apart from Sydney. I think you’ll enjoy it very much.
I recommend this game!

This game was rather boring at times, but at times it was also quite intriguing. Here are my thoughts on the game:
Good Parts:
The music accompaniment
The spookiness that the game presents
The game had medical charts which were quite interesting
It’s very similar to Mystery Case Files
Challenging Hidden Object Scenes
The eye puzzle at the beginning
The excellent storyline

Bad Parts:
Took ages to find my bearings/get in to the game
The amount of eyes, keys and books I had to find
The amount of objects I had to find at the scenes. 16-18 is a little too many
The skip for hard puzzles takes way too long to recharge. I was just left waiting and waiting because I didn’t know what to do.
To find the keys to Tim’s car, I had to find Tim, who was located at pretty much the place where the game ends, so I had to go right back to where I started and unlock his car.
It was quite easy for me to get bored or stuck

This game was an absolute bore. Many things about the game were too easy or just really annoying. Here are my thoughts on the game:
Good Parts:
When you clicked hint, it put a whole circle around the object making it easy to find
Tutorial options
The graphics and artwork

Bad Parts:
The storyline- absolutely ridiculous
Seymour- he really annoyed me and just seemed totally useless.
You had to find a banner which told you what objects you needed to find. That's the weirdest thing I've ever seen
The annoying sound the game made when you found an object
Almost everything I came across at the start of the game needed a key: To lanch the rocket, to enter the gate and to enter the mansion. I get you usually come across keys to enter things in a game but that was just over used.

intriguing storyline that every hidden object game needs. It's a real turn-off.

Although not as good as Lord of Mirrors, Queen of Death still provided a great time. Here are my thoughts on the game:
Good Parts:
The spookiness that the game presents
You could use a hint to see where you needed to go, and if it was at a different location your hint wasn’t used up
The Puzzles
The similarities to PuppetShow
Having no time-limit on the HO scenes
The Gripping Storyline

This game was very good. Here are my thoughts:
Good Parts:
Amazing Graphics
Epic Boss Battles
A whole new Luxor
Being able to unlock Power-ups
It was like Doctor Who meets Luxor
The Bonus Level. It was the best part of the game

To finally defeat the boss you had to get a certan power-up, which took up lots of time.

As well as trying to shoot the boss in boss battle, you had to make sure the balls didn't go through the skull AND try to dodge the skulls that they threw at you. It was all a bit tiring,
