This review is from: Cate West Vanishing Files (CD-ROM)

This game I thought was great.I have finished it,Not cuz it was easybut because Igot it a while back on Shockwave .com
1)You go about findingitems on a list that are hidden in a room,like a wrench,apple,carrot,crayon etc.
2)Next you have 2 pictures that look the same but have 2 differences,you must click your mouse on the differences.
3)You next have 2 scfreens and below a few objects are in a line below,You must remember where those items were and pick them up and place them back where you remember they were.
4)Next Cate Will touch the objects and each one will tell her about the suspect.
5)You then get mugshots and a lil knowledge about the suspects ,such as they like birdwatching,or where they worked.
6)Then you must guess at which person you want to arrest and make the arrest.
This goes on for many levels,and is very fun especially for 35 yr old or so women.I finished the game in about a week,but was so addicted I played from 11:00 at night till 7:00 in the morning.
This is one of the best PC games I have played and I have played alot!If you enjoy PC Games then buy it ,you won't be sorry I.t's worth $20

I was skeptical after reading some of the other reviews, but I really enjoyed this game. The searches were challenging but not overly frustrating. I didn't find the scenes dark, as one reviewer indicated. And I loved the variation of searching for objects, then finding differences, using deduction to find a criminal, and re-placing objects in a scene. My children (both under 10) have also really enjoyed the game's challenges. I definitely recommend this to people who enjoy adventure games and the hidden object games.

I downloaded Cate West on [...] and thought it was a lot of fun. I'm a fan of these hidden object games, so maybe a little biased. Cate West is a unique character - a psychic detective who helps detectives solve cases. As another reviewer said, the game is dark, but it totally suits the game. There's a great story, great characters and challenging puzzles. I would definitely recommend you check it out.
