It has been awhile since a game has come out that I had to remember where things went or figure things out without everything being handed to you. This is a good solid game! Graphics are great and not the cartoonish coloring that some of the developers use. A good story, but kind of out there and not realistic. Different locations to go to visit during game play. It reminded me of the older Redemption Cemetery series. Good length of game play and I also enjoyed the bonus play. The HOS have puzzles within the scene. And there are not too many of them and you only visit them once. No pets and not so childish that you feel like you are playing a kids game. I could do without all the achievements, because to me there is no point unless you are going to do something with them at the end of the game.This is the first 5 stars I have given a game in along time! I think this game if much better than Hidden Mysteries: Smithsonian Hope Diamond. The last game I enjoyed was True Fear and I did not give that game 5 stars, because I felt it could have been better.
I recommend this game!

You've returned from school to visit your father at his famous Jazz Pepper Club during Mardi Gras, but everyone is hypnotized. Have they heard the wrong note?

The graphics and music were great and the story was interesting, but I found myself getting bored towards the end of gameplay. I did not even bother with the bonus play. This was enjoyable if you want to relax and play a game without a whole lot of challenge. I wish I would have waited for the SE.
I recommend this game!

What has happened to ERS? The games they have been coming out with have been awful and disappointing. I love this series with the exception of "The Golden Bug", which I did not like, but it was better than this one. Get rid of the pet mouse, the rat just sitting there, the magnifying glass to find coins in different toy houses and finally the thing to make stone to turn into life once again. Why are the games coming out geared towards kids!???? All my favorite series are being ruined by ERS. Please stop the madness! "True Fear" is the last game that came out that I actually enjoyed playing. I am really getting close to cancelling my account due to the lack of good games coming out lately and ruining series that once were great. I regret paying for this game. I thought how bad could it be, because it is EAP game, but boy was I wrong!
I don't recommend this game.

I love the first Final Cut and the second was good, but this was not even close to being as good as the second and not nearly as good as the first. I do not know why the developers are making the games so easy now! Here is the code and they put it on the safe, chest and etc....for you. I miss the days of having to find the code in hidden places or you have to at least look in your diary and try to figure out where you saw the code. I do not know why they even bother with the advance or hardcore modes. I played "Agency of Anomalies: The Perfect Show" yesterday and remembered the feeling of being challenged again and how it was hard to quit playing the game. With this game I could not wait to finish! It was very boring and so slow with all the video clips. I wished I had not wasted my money! Lesson learned again! I should have played the demo first before buying!
I don't recommend this game.

This is like a game from 2008. I think a person who likes straight HOS will enjoy this game, but personally I am bored of playing one HOS after another. I wish they would make a game with this concept, but with more adventure. I love mysteries and trying to solve them. Unfortunately there are very few of them that come out or are being made.
I recommend this game!

I agree with the other reviews that I do not get the 5 star rating either. This game is way too easy. The first one of the series is more challenging and more interesting. I am tired of games being dumbed down. Even on advance everything is handed to you. I miss playing games where you actually have to think and remember where a inventory item goes or when you find a code it is not just handed to you. So, I have been playing games that I have purchased in the past where I can feel challenged again. Please stop making the games way too easy!
I don't recommend this game.

After the reviews I was really hoping to like this game, but the graphics were way too cartoony for me. What a outdated game.

I was finally happy to see a game for an adult with no pets or a fantasy cartoony game. If the graphics were just a tad more realistic without the cartoonish overtone and if you get rid of the bugs in the game play I would have enjoyed playing this game! I hope this developer makes more games in the future, but just fixes these problems. I would love to see more games like this!
I don't recommend this game.

This is a very short game. I think the shortest game I have ever played. I like the visuals and it was not a bad game. A rainy day type game. Very easy puzzles. You can switch from HOS to put a puzzle together, but it does not have this feature later in game play. I did find myself getting bored and would definitely not recommend this game for gamers who like a challenge.
I recommend this game!

I played this game again for the 3rd time and remembered how much I enjoy playing this game! No V.O., but not much to read. Not too many HOS and kept my interest of what to do next. Great music to go with game play. I do not understand the bad reviews or of them saying it is too easy, because the CE games coming out lately are way easier than this game. It is not hard but at least not everything is handed to you of what to do next.
I recommend this game!
