... there was a glitch in one of the Rube Goldberg puzzles that forced me to skip it. I tried & tried, but couldn't get the game pieces to move. I rarely skip puzzles, so this was extremely frustrating for me.
Great voiceovers; some of the best. Graphics and sounds were really good.
Great game that I recommend. But please bring back the more complicated Rube Goldberg type mini-games that used to be in all the MCF games.
I recommend this game!

Not a 5-star for me but still a good game. The main guy's voiceover was so bland and monotone; all the others were really good. Great graphics. The story was okay but I never play these for the story. I play for the challenge, and that was decent. Glad I bought the CE this time.
I recommend this game!

I love puzzles. And there were tons of them in this game. It was all good. Good graphics, great voiceovers, music was a mix from all the games brought together in this one so that was good too. And the puzzles! Finally a game I didn't want to end.
I recommend this game!

This game was so illogical. Many steps/items just didn't make sense. Had to skip some of the mini-games because after I solved them nothing happened. The game never moved forward to the next screen. Lots of typos, which I never understand because it's not that difficult to proofread these before they're released. Voiceovers were so-so with not much emotion from some of them. I was ready for this one to be over. Really don't understand some of the rave reviews.
I don't recommend this game.

A good game, unlike most of the others I've played, and I've played lots. But I had three items left at the end of the SE. I read the other reviews and no one else mentioned this. How could it just have been me? Anyway, I enjoyed this one, especially the challenging parts where it took me a while to figure out what to do next. I recommend this one.
I recommend this game!

Why did I spend money on this awful game? So boring I couldn't play even half-way through. Deleted it. Even kids might be bored to death with this one. Do NOT recommend.
I don't recommend this game.

...didn't I buy the CE? What a fantastic game! MCF has always been a favorite of mine. But this one tops almost all of them. One fun scene after another. Great Rube Goldberg type puzzles and fun mini-games. Graphics are wonderful, voiceovers are good (for the most part), and there are enough HOPs to please pretty much everyone. I have every MCF game ever developed and I'll continue to buy every single one. But next time I'll remember to get the CE. Highly recommend!
I recommend this game!
In this hidden object murder mystery, a single page from a journal leads a woman down a dangerous path of deception to track down a murderer.

Nothing too exciting, and way too short. Couldn't believe it was over already. Several HOPs but very few mini-games. Can't recommend this.
I don't recommend this game.

At first I wondered what I had done in purchasing this. But it gets better as you go along. I really liked looking for the collectible items, even though I missed a few. The accents are hilarious (hope I'm not offending anyone) and the characters are very amusing. It's a long one because it takes a while to find some of the really small items. Really liked this and hope there will be more like it.
I recommend this game!

I think I need to step back from these games for a while. They're all the same! They all use the same story line, the same items, the same puzzles, etc. And they're much too easy. I understand that some people like to play these with their children/grandchildren, but can't we have some adult games? The warnings about a game being "intense" or for "mature players" make me chuckle. The stuff on TV is so much worse!
Yes, it's a long game. But that just means you have to wait longer for the non-excitement to be over. You're not fooling us.
Developers, if you're reading this, please think up something different that requires more brain strain or that can actually scare us. We need to exercise the grey matter!
I don't recommend this game.
