Agatha Christie Fan
I have about 50 of Agatha
Christie's books on my shelves, so when I saw that there were games
based on her books, I immediately had to try them.
I downloaded
several and none of them but this one worked. They wouldn't even open. I
was even more disappointed after I played Death on the Nile and saw how
good it is.
It's an excellent game of seek and find, puzzles,
questioning witnesses, and matching clues to solve the murder. I already
knew who did it and how they did it, but that didn't lessen my
enjoyment of the game.
I've played it several times. The clues
are still the same, but the objects move around and some of them are
very well hidden.
Now I want to play the rest of them. If anyone
has been able to open the others, or if you've had the same problem,
please leave a comment.
The most
challenging and enjoyable Seek and Find game I've ever played
Agatha Christie: Death on the
Nile is easily the most challenging Seek and Find game I've played.
After the first four or five levels, I was unable to complete any
additional level on the first try, which is a good thing in my book.
It's such a well-designed game, with such brilliantly hidden objects,
that the game doesn't become frustrating even after several attempts at a
given level. You can't just depend on remembering everything from
earlier attempts because each replay involves a nice assortment of
different hidden objects. You do get five hints per level, and - unless
you're more skilled at this type of game than I am - you're probably
going to need them. With just twenty-five minutes per level to find
sixty or more objects across as many as six rooms, you can't just dally
around. You also have to figure out different kinds of puzzles at the
end of each level, a couple of which are far from obvious at first
glance.
I can't say that I really tried to follow along with all
of Poirot's reasoning and attempt to solve the mystery myself, though.
Since this game is so challenging, I ended up playing it over several
days' time. That being the case, and given the fact that we're talking
about a fairly involved mystery encompassing a number of characters, the
game is not all that conducive to amateur sleuthing. I think you're
going to want to stick with Agatha Christie's novels to really
appreciate the brilliance of the author's story-telling prowess and to
truly match wits with Hercule Poirot. Just enjoy this game for what it
is, a truly impressive and challenging Seek and Find adventure.
