I thought this was an excellent game. The cut scenes were outstanding, the story was good and the overall feel of the game really made this an enjoyable evening. Now I want to play the first release.
I recommend this game!

There are some pretty bad reviews for this game, but I think it's excellent. Others have commented on the difficulty in finding the hidden objects, but I thought those scenes were challenging and I only had to use the hint button three or four times in nine or ten scenes to solve the first case. There are also two hidden badges in each HOS and if you collect fifty of them, you unlock three additional levels in "Detective School."
The one hour trial expired just before I solved the first case and I immediately bought the game so I could identify the killer. If you don't mind having to look for hidden objects (and some of them ARE well hidden), give this game a try - you might find it very enjoyable.

This game looks good and could really be something if not for a couple things. First of all, the game is too difficult. I've only gotten as far as level 10, where you take on the "Henterprise," and it seems like I've already gotten to a point where it's going to take a lot more time and patience than I have if I want to go further.
The other issue I have is the fact that when I lose all my lives at level 10, I have to start all over again at the beginning of the game. It really isn't much fun to play the same few levels over and over, knowing I'll invariably bite the dust when I encounter the Henterprise.
So like I said, this game really could have been great, but I don't get any enjoyment out of knowing I only have a few minutes of gameplay before inevitably losing. Call it "challenging" if you want, but to me it's just frustrating.
