5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Mystery P.I. Game So Far, June 24, 2009

This review is from: Mystery P.I. Vegas Heist (CD-ROM)

I have Mystery P.I. The Lottery Ticket, and recently bought this edition (Vegas Heist) and the New York Fortune.

So far, this is my favorite one (I'm about 1/2 through it).

For those unfamiliar with the Mystery P.I. series, it's a great hidden object game with various locations, mini-game mysteries and extra things to find for Unlimited Seek and Solve.

The Vegas Heist is truly stunning in terms of graphics. The objects are cleverly hidden, but not maddeningly so (especially if you're a hidden object junkie like myself). I used to think the Mystery Case Files were the cream of the crop, but this P.I. Series is giving them a run for the money (especially since Ravenheart 2 was so difficult, IMO.)

For example, one picture is a $50 bill, amazingly well done with objects hidden all around. Another is the inside of a souped up limo, a casino security room, and a luxury yacht. Some objects you need to find are cleverly "disguised". For example, 2 mice may be a picture of an actual mouse, while the other is a computer mouse. Some images are actually words (e.g. KEY for the key).

In addition to finding the objects on the list, you can find an addition three things in each picture, one not listed: a key, a poker chip and a finger print (you have to remember to find the print, it's not listed).

The mini-games at the end of each search group are Word Search (my favorite), Tile Rotation, Tile Swap, and Jigsaw. I'm not big on the latter three, but it's better than the boring bi-color Ravenhearst pictures at the end of every group!

If you enjoyed the Lottery Ticket, you'll love Vegas Heist! If you're new to hidden object games, this would be a great introduction. It's relaxing, yet challenging--very enjoyable.

This game, along with Mystery P.I. The Lottery Ticket, Amazing Adventures-The Lost Tomb are very good hidden object games. I like the Unlimited Seek and Find mode. Thousands of items to find. Anyone who doesn't like to solve puzzles in their hidden object games, these games are for you. I have all three and enjoy replaying them again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Relatively pure HOG (hidden object game). Suitable for hearing impaired; possibly some vision impaired., December 28, 2009

This review is from: Mystery P.I. Vegas Heist (CD-ROM)

Like the other "Mystery P.I." titles I've played, "Vegas" is almost completely a HOG (hidden object game). The mini-games are fun, too; in fact, I'd like to see a 3rd option in the new games that includes unlimited mini-game play. As before, my favorite part is the unlimited option. I've found only one mistake in the game so far, where one of a perceived group of objects is missed, but that's pretty piddling. Even the spelling is good, which is not a given with HOGs. If you like HOGs, you won't want to miss "Vegas."
