I love mystery case files but this one just bored me. tried the CE and decided to wait for the Se but it just didn't help. I was very dissapointed and bored. I hope this is just a one time mishap and we go back to more interesting and fun mystery case files. this was just annoying.
I don't recommend this game.

this is a fun game for dog lovers. fortunately the hint button told me exactly where to go because like so many games there was no map and knowing where to go next was not easy or obvious but otherwise you are saving the dogs and what could be more rewarding. overall an easy fun game. I bought the CE - not sure I needed it but mainly needed the really good hint button. I don't use sound so can't comment on that but I do recommend this game.
I recommend this game!

I love these games and this one did not dissapoint. like so many could have used a map - I got lost at times but the story line is fun, not too scary or gruesome but fun. save the eiffle tower and play with clowns. It is nice to have games that are not all scary and gruesome. I don't use sound so can't rate that and I bought the SE not the CE. found it enjoyable and I recommend this game.

I made the mistake of thinking I would like this game after starting the trial. I bought it but the more I played the more frustrated I got. the hint button is annoying - you have to drag an item into it then it shows you where to use it and you have to figure out where the scene is and how to get there. one time it showed me a place I hadn't opened yet but there was no way for me to know that so I wasted time trying to find a place I couldn't get to. definately could use a map and most of the puzzles were so frustrating I skipped them. sorry I bought this and I don't recommend it.
I don't recommend this game.

I really needed the collectors edition even with a very helpful hint but overall the game tottally needs a map - I regularly lost track of where to go and how to get places. some things were easy to figure out and some were quite a stretch. the story line was not as clear as I would have liked. the scenery was good, hidden object good and games well done and challenging although I skipped a lot because I just got too frustrated. I did like the game but just found some parts frustrating. and I really didn't like how long it took to end when I finished. I appreciate the need to promote the people who created the game but this went on way too long without being able to skip. I recommend for those who like a challenge.
I recommend this game!

I really wanted to like this game. the story line was somewhat interesting but overall the game was frustrating. I don't use sound so can't evaluate that but the real problem I had was knowing where to go - there is a map but it really doesn't help much. can't use it jump to places. hint button told you what to do and where to go which was good but remembering or figuring out how to get there was difficult. basically it was interesting and challenging but frustrating also and then at the end it just ends - didn't feel completed or fulfilled. I would recommend this game with reservations to those that like a challenge. to bad below I can't check a maybe button. not sure if I recommend over all or not.
I don't recommend this game.

based on the free trial only I bought this game as soon as I finished the trial. it is fun. I love the cat that helps you out, just pure fun. the hint button helps direct you - a map might be nice but not essential. I don't play with sound so can't evaluate that but the graphics are good. lots of things to find and puzzels to solve but not a bunch of hidden objects that you can't see. I think this is one of the best out recently. I highly recommend this game.
I recommend this game!

I really wanted to like this game but got totally frustrated and didn't finish it. hint button was slow and not much help. things were hard to find. I couldn't fill up the gas tank because the item that supposedly told me the combination I couldn't see and at that point I gave up. sorry, but this game is not for me.
I don't recommend this game.

I really wanted to like this game and bought it but ultimately got so frustrated I stopped playing. It has potential but no map and the hint button is not helpful. I did okay till I got to the island and then I lost it. there was no logic on where to go or what to do and half the time items didn't work. I needed to clean a window and had an item I thought should have cleaned it, turned out i needed to get something from below the window and a different brush to clean the window. just irritating unfortunately.
I don't recommend this game.

I have played most of the demo and want to like the game but just felt bored playing it. can't really describe why but probably will not buy this game. I used the hint constantly to figure out where to go. at least it charged quicklyi but I like a map with places to jump to and a story line that helps guide me along rather than having to rely on the hint. there is just nothing compelling or interesting about the story. game is also very dark making it hard to find items.
I don't recommend this game.
