I liked this game. It seemed they used Native American voice actors that made the game more realistic. The story line was not bad; the games were challenging but achievable. There were a few errors but nothing that detracted from the fun.
Great job!

This game hits top score in all areas of evaluation. I liked it the most because it had so many layers and games built within games. It keeps you thinking. Otlichnaya rabota (Great Job) to both the Elephant games and Big Fish teams!

During the game, you investigate various characters. The investigation takes you to several locations around the carnival for various games. The variety of games were well conceived. Once all of the locations have been visited and completed, there is a final game. I found these final games too difficult because the directions were too vague, so I didn't understand what I was expected to do. Better directions would have made the game more entertaining.
I recommend this game!

I am writing this after just completing the standard version, so my disappointment is still fresh. I thought the storyline was good, so good that I had built up in my mind that Sam, the role you play, perhaps was the killer. I was really expecting a good twist at the end. If you want a dissent ending and some closure, you have to get the collector's edition for the bonus chapter.
The games and challenges were good. There were about three or four I had to skip because I really just did not understand the directions or couldn't conceive how to accomplish them without manipulating something during play. The game really just makes you hunt down items to manipulate other items. The most challenging aspect of the game is recalling where you need to use an item. After a while, it got a bit boring.
I don't recommend this game.

It was challenging with a good store line. Some of the games were difficult with poor directions, but it forced you to work through the challenge without being too difficult. The graphics and games were the best. Great job!

I thought the storyline was unique and a nice mixture of realism and fantasy. The game never ended. Just when you thought you had explored every spot, a whole new room became available. I really liked the mini games. There were several different games and they were challenging without being too difficult. The bonus play at the end was a whole new game/chapter rather than just a cheesy little extra. This game was definitely worth the value. Great job!!
I recommend this game!

Stealing the plot from the movie Anonymous was ingenious. Although I don't like re-writing or questioning historical facts the game tapped into those emotions which made for a more entertaining experience. You know when something is good when you can't stop thinking about it and want to play. Overall, Midnight Mysteries are the better Hidden Object Games (HOG) out there, the Native American connection was lame.
I recommend this game!

Although, I enjoyed the story plot at the beginning and the end, it was not engaging throughout. I spent the first 30 minutes of play just bouncing from place to place to do hidden object puzzles without any connection to the story. There wasn't any interaction with characters except with the missing girls. Adding some townspeople to direct my searches would have made the whole game more enjoyable.
I don't recommend this game.

I love the quality of Mystery Case File Games. Huntsville is very different than the others. I really liked the format. It was a lot of fun! I wish they would make more like it.
