Advantages: No skill required, easy to pick up and put back down.

Disadvantages: To 'samey, doesn't offer any challenge

I got this game as a velentines gift because I had enjoyed playing other mystery games on the DS and thought this would be just like them with numerous mini games and such. This game was quite a big let down to be honest!

You are a detective that has to solve the mystery of who gets the dead guys millions! You are given characters to interigate and rooms to search. You cannot actually interigate the suspects it is just a speach bubble that pops up and talks to you fo a few minutes. You have to tap the screen to scroll through the conversation and this can take ages! The idea really is to search for hidden items in the different ares on the screen using different on screen tools. You drag your pen over the onscreen picture until you find the relevant items from the list given then tap them to show that you have infact spotted it in amongst all the jumble. Its a bit like a find the item version of 'Where's Wally'.


There's no actual thinking envolved and if you play too long it makes your eyes hurt due to all the items being close toegther and jumbled up to look like other objects.

It was given to me right before a long coach journey and I found it impossible to play whilst moving. If you played Professor Laytons curious Village and expect this to be anything like it at all as I did, then you will be sorely disappointed.

Summary: Overall very disappointing
