I had bought my wife that Professor Layton game for Christmas and found it to be most entertaining. Having finished this game my wife was looking for something along the same lines as Professor Layton's Curious Village, and had seen advertisement for Million Heir and thought that's the one. She didn't want to trade in the Professor game but I persuaded her since it was finished and she'd just be repeating old puzzles. A trip to game got her enough on her card since my son had traded some games in and already put a tenner on a card for his mum's new game. (What a kind son................Daddy gets stuff all by the way). So she had forty quid on the ...  Read the complete review

When you first read the synopsis on mystery case files: millionheir you are drawn into what sounds like an exciting world especially for those of you who are fans of the professor layton series. It seems to have it all puzzles, clues, murder, mystery but in the end struggles to deliver on all counts. The aim of the game is to find out who is the heir by solving various puzzles and "working" out various clues as an un-named detective searching for the missing Phil T Rich, who you breifly meet at the very beginning of the game. The puzzles in this are not the logic based ones of the Professor Layton mysteries, these are a have a picture ...  Read the complete review

I bought this game back in April thinking it would be similar to Professor Layton however I was wrong and was therefore put off thinking it wasn't my sort of game. I recently got round to playing it, as did my family so now thought it was a good time to write a review! As you can see from the picture the case is predominantly brown with a large magnifying glass showing a missing person. This lets us know a little about the game as it tells us it is a detective game. There is a large title at the top and it tells us it is part of the Mystery Case Files series which I believe to be available on the PC aswell. So onto the game, Mr Phil.T.Rich has ...  Read the complete review

After playing Professor Layton..., I got this game as I got the impression they were quite similiar. Wrong, wrong, wrong!! I still can't believe some compare the two games with one another. The Professor Layton game actually contained puzzles. MillionHeir does not. Its kind of like I Spy. The story was something about finding someone who everyone thought was dead or something. Throughout the game you're shown rooms which are basically full of junk. Then you're asked to locate a number of items from the room, which I think are clues. Not very challenging at all. I continued playing the game, in the hope that at some point it would present a puzzle. ...  Read the complete review

I have always enjoyed the Mystery Case Files games on PC as I felt they were always the best Hidden Object games and in the later ones the puzzles between levels were brain-stretching! I was really pleased to see this for the DS and had no hesitation in buying it for £22.49. How I wished I had read reviews about it first! The premise is that you are trying to solve a murder, like the other MCF games it isn't important to follow the story particularly if you don't want to. I actually just enjoy the hidden object part so was looking forward to starting the game. There are three "save game" slots so three people can be playing this game at their own ...  Read the complete review
