Like all of the other Agatha Christie, Hercule Poirot mysteries, this is outstanding. It can be somewhat challenging for the beginner, but they story and the challenge is just like the movies and the original story. Get ready to solve the mystery with your investigation. This is not on the order of many of the adventure games of today. This is a fun HOG with a great story. I do recommend this game.

I tried this one on the other recommendations, it did not disappoint. Graphics are clean and very well done. Map lets you get around and find what is required. Story is interesting and the whole game will keep you into itself right to the finish. HO's are easy enough to find and the items you have collected are easy enough to figure out where to use. No problem, get this one.

If you are a fan of HOG, this is definitely for you. Many, many HOG scenes. Fairly simple and easy to find, but there are enough to make you say, wait a minute... Graphics are not the best for the HOG, but that is not a problem. The map lets you find your way around and will show you where you need to go. Overall I liked this one very much and would recommend to everyone.

Now this is your basic HOG with just a little adventure thrown in. It is very simple and easy to complete all the scenes and even the supposedly hard to find clues are easy. This is a very good beginners game or for someone who just wants a break from the very difficult adventures out there and just wants an easy "refresher". Something that does not get you frustrated because you have to use the hint just to find where to go or what to do next. Very good graphics and the story line is OK. Music seemed acceptable, but I usually have the volume turned way down because it all gets boring after a while. All in all, a great buy for the beginner or the few who may like a break with a very easy game.

First off I have to say is that this is a National Geographic HOG so you know the graphics are great. Just like in a photo. The game is all HOG which is the true HOG not an adventure game that is classified as a HOG, so if you are a purist of the Hidden Object idea then this is for you. Fun to go through. It is easy and there are helps along the way. You can get an outline of the object you are searching for, which is helpful in some cases as some objects are not readily known or they are put on their oblique so they are hard to spot. A few mystery games that are not difficult either.
Overall this is just a fun game that will give you a breather from running from room to room and then back again like a chicken with his head cut off to find the end. Quite refreshing in MHO.

Overall, kinda fun and entertaining. Not too difficult, but not that easy either. Some things are harder to find than one would think. Graphics are not bad, but could be a little better when it comes to identifying the objects to find. Music is OK but gets old fast. Just turn down the volume and it is liveable. Could be great for kids as long as there is a little help from Mom or Dad. Overall it is a good but if you want just plain HOG with some plain old fun attached. Besides, we are talking Easter Bunnies here...

Just a fantastic H/O game. They have kept up their standards in the Mystery PI series and have gone farther. Very fun and challenging for some of the objects. The mystery object is fun to figure out also. Great graphics and hidden objects. Overall a very outstanding H/O game for the sheer pleasure of finding things without all the running around of the more adventure H/O games that there are so many of now. Recommended for everyone. Buy it. You will not be disappointed.

This is a fun H/O game. Not rocket science nor is it a Columbo or Sherlock Holmes solve it game. Just plain search and find fun. Great graphics, objects are there for you to find. Some harder than others but they are what they are supposed to be. The secret objects are there also. Not so secret though since they are explained in the beginning. All in all I would recommend this game. It is a lot of fun and will keep you interested for some time.
