This review is from: Agatha Christie: Death On The Nile (CD-ROM)

First, a caveat. This is a hidden object game -- that is, game play consists of searching through various scenes to find a list of objects hidden in the landscape, while the story of "Death on the Nile" plays out in the background. It is NOT an adventure game in which you interview suspects, collect evidence, and solve puzzles, like the other Agatha Christie games that have been published recently.

That being said, it does what it does quite well. The scenes are well designed and game play is challenging without being impossible. It's actually quite amusing -- as long as you weren't expecting an adventure game, that is.

1.0 out of 5 stars Ripped Off, May 8, 2009

This review is from: Agatha Christie: Death On The Nile (CD-ROM)

In the past I have purchased other Agatha Christie PC games: And Then There Were None, Murder on the Orient Express, and Evil Under the Sun and I enjoyed those games quite a bit. I bought this one expecting the same and if you look at the cover of Death on the Nile it APPEARS as if this game is going to be like the others. It isn't. It's a hidden picture game, a virtual Where's Waldo. The clues were so obvious and the game was over and solved so quickly I couldn't see the point in playing it. Never ever have I felt so ripped off!!! I would love to have my money back.

I purchased the previous Agatha Christie games: And Then There Were None, Murder On The Orient Express, and Evil Under The Sun and enjoyed all three adventure games. I thought that Death On The Nile was a lower-priced similar game in the series. It's not! I played this hidden object game before as a download. The cover makes it look deceptively like the other role-playing games. I've bought over a thousand items on Amazon.com and this is the first time I've felt ripped off.
