5.0 out of 5 stars Do you like puzzles? Then this is your game!, May 6, 2000

This review is from: Safecracker (Mac) (CD-ROM)

If you like the games like Myst & Riven or puzzles & codes or both then you will love this game. The 3D image is nice and the background music is cool. There are hidden passages, doors and codes everywhere. And it is simply addicting!

3.0 out of 5 stars Frustrating, and not that compelling, November 9, 2000

This review is from: Safecracker (Mac) (CD-ROM)

The story is that you have 24 hours to crack a safe in a house that is owned by a lock company that prides itself on its uncrackable safes. The clues to crack the final safe are distributed around the various other safes in the house.

The main problem with this game is that there is no real mystery to it - you just crack the safes, and that is it. So if you compare it to, say, the 7th Guest or Myst, there is no reason why you want to crack the puzzles, as there is no story to unravel. You're basically walking around an empty house, trying to find your way out.

I found the puzzles either too easy, or too difficult. Some of them were fun to unravel, others were simply a question of trying every combination until you found one that matches. But the difficult ones are definitely difficult enough to keep a gamer interested.

This game gives you exactly what it promises: lots of interesting puzzles to flex your brain with. It runs in parallel (if you get stuck on one safe, just go find another one), so you always feel like you're moving forward. And they're clever about hiding clues, but not cruel. Plus you get a fun reward at the end.

Oh, and save often.
