What a lousy game. It seemed good while I was playing it, but I still had 7 minutes left on the demo when I finished the game.
The graphics would become blurry in a lot of spots that hurt my eyes.
The music was ignoreable.
While there were nice elements to it, don't waste your money.
I don't recommend this game.

I have never played this type of game so I was looking forward to learning some thing new, well new to me anyway.
There are a few mentions of things alluding to the game, but isn't any thing that I could call instructions.
The visuals were about as good as watching cartoons from the '60s.
The challange is figuring out how to play the game. I tried to work it out for about 15 minutes and gave up.
Maybe I'm being a bit harsh. Perhaps if I had known how to play the game, I would have injoyed it.
I don't recommend this game.

Wow, was the music weird, not bad, just weird. I turned it down low and I didn't mind it after that.
At first I really wanted to like the game. I was hoping it would be closer to cradle of rome. No such luck.
I found this game to be slow and tedious. Not my cup of tea.
I'm sure that there are fishies that will like it. I liked the idea of it, but not the game it's self.
I don't recommend this game.

Now for the only thing I didn't like about it. There was a lot of going back and forth. That being said, the backtracking was only short distances. ( I have only done the demo at this point.)
everything else is great!
Ok, the theme is one we've had many times, but it didn't bother me so much. I was so busy trying to think things out, I did care about the storyline, except to reach the goal.

I played the whole demo and I still don't wish to buy it. The music was putting me to sleep. The graphics were cheaply done. Don't the devs have a program to put texture in their graphics?
I found little challenge, or fun, in this game. And the storyline was a bad example of the theme we are all getting tired of... save my - fill in the blank.
There is promise in this game, but the devs through it on the market too quick.
I don't recommend this game.

This is the type of HO that I broke my teeth on, back when dinosuars where using iphones. I really missed them.
This game has a good story line, and the voice overs are nice (and short). The music is nonintrusive.
The scenes are dark, but if you turn the contrast on your computer all the way up, it helps a lot.
The game is mostly HO, but I like it.
I recommend this game!

It's an okay game. I usually set my contrast to it's highest setting when playing. It reduces the strain on my eyes. It didn't matter with this game. I love games that cleverly hides an object, but this game wasn't clever, it was deceitful. A ring was hidden until just the tip of the jewel shown. That's just not right.
I did think that the story line was very good. It's the only reason I completed the whole demo. But I won't buy it on the storyline alone.
I think some people will like it. This is a choice you will have to make for your self.
I don't recommend this game.

I think this one is good for beginners. There is no challenge, The hints point the way to go. The mini games are so easy I was actually skipping them just to get through the game.
I do recomed this game. But I haven't decided if I'm going to buy it. I have a few punch card free games lying about, so I might get it.
Has the feel of being a short game.
I recommend this game!

The mystrey tracker games are so alike that I always have to check my games manager to see if I've played it before. That being said, they are still good games, and I do injoy playing them.
There are several levels to play. There is a detective level that looks wicked. I think I will finish the casual level before I tackle that one.
If you like the mystrey tracker games, you will like this one too.
I recommend this game!

I bought this game after my hour was up. I think I'm toward the end. I've been playing it off and on most of the day. I hate when life gets in the way of my gaming. Just kidding, well mostly kidding.
The game ramains just as good as the demo. The visuals are excellent and the music is good. The leads voiceover can be a bit jarring, but not bad enough to put me off.
The level of challenge is more to 3 3/4 stars.
There might be a glich in it, but it could be my computer. The hint keeps telling me that I need to look at the piano, but I'm unable to click on it. Have to keep looking at the forums to see if anyone else has the same problem. There isn't a walk through for it yet.
The story line is very good too. I'm going to take a look at the other games too.
I recommend this game!
