Rating: Summary: A step up from Nancy Drew Review: My daughter and I purchased this game while waiting for the next Nancy Drew
We were not disappointed. Lots of puzzles, cool graphics, good story.
Our complaints were:
Some of the objects that we had to pick up were too SMALL to be seen.
We had to get use to the inventory box being in a different window.
Biggest complaint... "We could sure use George and Bess right now"... Sherlock works alone
Rating: Summary: Just awful Review: The point of an adventure game is to string together clever puzzles using an innovative (or at the very least INTERESTING) story. The story will have clues as to how the puzzles can be solved. Though i know how difficult it is to come up with interesting and difficult pzzles, the designers of this game haven't stepped up to the challenge. Aside from theme, the puzzles have little to do with the story, by that i mean there's little in the story to actually help you progress in the game.Seriously, I wouldn't recommend this game to adventure game fans. Sorry-
Rating: Summary: average Review: The reason I bought this game was so that my daughter and I could play a game together that had no blood and gore. It was confusing sometimes and we needed the help of a hint and walkthrough web site at times. I enjoyed it because my daughter liked it. If it weren't for her I probably would have never finished it because I would have lost interest from the beginning.
Rating: Summary: thouroughly dissapointing Review: this game was horrible. often times you can't see items and there is nothing to indicate that something can be done with say a wall or a paiting unless you happen to try an object on it. You don't interact with charecters really at all. the only times you even see other charecters is once when a man comes in babbling nonesense, or at the end where the story still didn't make sense. things dissapear from your invetory and don't like to reappear. i had to start the game over three times. The puzzles are illogical and HARD. I was constantly looking for cheats. my opinion: this game is not worth two cents!

Rating: Summary: Turn Back Now, Before It's Too Late!!! Review: This game was not fun at all. It was so complicated that I could not finish it without using on-line help. Clues were not given at all. And many solutions were illogical and didn't follow the game plot. Even an avid strategy-game player, like myself, would be unable to solve the mystery alone. The game wasn't even fun because you needed help every step of the way. Don't waste your time or money on this game. It's not worth it.
Rating: Summary: Awful Review: This game was terrible - really bad. The graphics were decent and the puzzles had interesting concepts behind them, but the way that you had to solve them made no sense. There were many objects that you had to find to proceed in the game that you literally could not see; the only way to find them was to run the cursor along every square inch of every screen in the area and look to see if the cursor changed to pick-up mode in order to find what you need. This game was much more frustrating than fun... a big disappointment.
Rating: Summary: Underrated.... Review: This is a good program. For the relative newbie. You won't have a lot of head-bashing on these puzzles. They are somewhat basic. The graphics are very mood setting, and there are many environments to walk through. This is a first-person style program. A point and click, animated movement, game of logic. The logic is very simplistic. Use a screw-driver to pry open a metal plate and such. So, if you are a power-player who enjoys melting your brain over how to open that stupid door, then don't get this. It just won't satisfy you. However, it moves along nicely and offers up a few juicy plot twists that help keep the game fresh. Overall, i have played better. Much better,actually. But, this was fun and i will be playing it through once again. Don't let the first fifteen minutes fool you, it gets a lot better.
Rating: Summary: Mystery of the Purchase Review: This may be an interesting game, but the screens are so dark that detail is impossible to see. I have run this on 2 XP machines, one with a flat-panel display and one with a CRT. Both screens are much too dark at even the correspponding maximum brightness settings. That, coupled with a very hyperactive mouse speed [also not controllable] render the game virtually [really] unplayable. I recommend "SAVE YOUR MONEY!"
Rating: Summary: Worst game ever created (should be cremated) Review: This so-called "game" is one of the worst [things] I've ever seen. [Bad] story, [bad] voice acting and badly rendered environment come with bad controls. Puzzles are [bad], no clues, you have to do lots of thing "just because". Every puzzle MUST be done in a strict order, otherwise you cannot proceed. To find items, you MUST check EVERY pixel on every scene. Avoid this "game" at all costs...
