I was about to play Be Richest! but thought I'd better try the first one. I started offreally well, but then got frustrated, but all in all, was a pretty decent game.
Good Parts:
Simillar to Build-a-lot and therefore, very easy controls.
Great goals. The goals were a very good challenge, and fun to play.
Pretty good graphics.
Being able to name your company.
The upgrades you could add to your company were great.
I really liked the achievements.
Unlike Build-a-lot, there were no costs of materials and drafting blueprints.

Like another game I've played, this game had way too many Hidden Object Scenes. I like them, but I don't like too many of them.
Good Parts:
The Paranormal Crime Kit minigames
A great storyline, would've been even better with voice-overs.
I liked the Hidden Object Scenes challenge.
Pretty good graphics.
Skip recharged fast.

Usually, I love all Hidden Object Games frm Artifex Mundi, but sadly, this was not the case here.
Good Parts:
Pretty good graphics.
My favourite part of the game was the minigame you could play to get more hints.

Limited hints annoyed me.
The puzzles were flat-out the worst I've ever come across. Way too hard and no indication of if you hard a part right or not.

This game was just flat. Not what I expected at all!
Good Parts:
The good thing about this game was the graphics. They were clear, wasn't hard to see the objects, great designs.
The puzzles were good.

Bad Parts:
Didn't like the Hidden Object Scenes at all. I would've much prefered the traditonal "junkple" scenes.
The game was a real bore, with nothing making me want to play on.
I didn't like the fact that you had to collect coins in the game.
The tutorial made you do everything the way it wanted to, once you clicked "yes" there was no way to stop the tutorial, which really annoyed me once it made me collect coins.

Bad Parts:
Graphics are much, much worse than before. The developers have really slacked off.
The game is just BORING. It's extremely repetitive with no variation at all.
Didn't like the way the challenges were set out. (e.g. Fitness, Acedemics etc.) I liked the old ones better where you had an opponent from your old high school.

I was incredibly frustrated with this game, so I just quit.
Good Parts:

OK Parts:
Hidden Objects were easy to find, but would've liked names instead of sillouhettes.
The storylines for the episodes were ok, but there should've been some voice-overs.

Bad Parts:
Graphics were cheap and very poor.
The game was an absolute bore.
Very repetitive.
No looking around, just all Hidden Object Scenes.
The ultimate killer for me was that you could only skip 2 minigames per episode. This frustrated me so much and limited your freedom in the game. I really needed to skip a puzzle, but I'd used all my skips, so I just quit.

After playing Nightmares From The Deep: The Cursed Heart Collector's Edition, I was keen to try out other games by this developer, and I loved it just as much!!!
Good Parts:
Excellent storyline, with brilliant voice-overs. It hooked me from the start
I really liked the Hidden Object Scenes. They were a great challenge and were fun to play.
Like all Artifex Mundi games, this game had pretty good graphics. They were clear and well designed.
Hint and skip recharged very fast. No need for a strategy guide when you have these!
I liked having to complete objectives

The only bad thing that left me a little annoyed was that the demo went for only 40 minutes (41 to be exact). I felt a bit short changed, but it doesn't really matter as I will be buying anyway!

This game was really good. Artifex Mundi doesn't disappoint. Highly recomended to anyone! Personally, I would chose the SE because there is no need for a strategy guide.
I recommend this game!

I really liked both of the other games in this series, but this one didn't cut it for me.
Good Parts:
Another brilliant intro setting the tone for yet another brilliant storyline, including great voice-overs.
Amazing graphics with a great soundtrack to back it up. The graphics are clear, realistic and include very brilliant designs. You can clearly tell a lot of effort was put in to this.
I really liked the Hidden Object Scenes. I loved their challenge and the interactive objects.
Built-in strategy guide included.
Tutorial was very helpful
