More like a dream than a game
Beautiful graphics, evocative
period music, hidden items that are at least plausible for the time
period and sometimes part of the story, strong voice acting and
narrative straight from the book--all these add up to an emotional
adventure, more like dreaming the book than playing a game. For me, it
was a more visceral experience than watching a movie. If you love
reading The Great Gatsby, I think you will like this. If you want
mysteries, adventure, challenging puzzles and won't be happy with
anything else, don't buy it.
Classy
Loved this game. It has
beautiful scenery & was fun to do. So many of these hidden object
games are scarey & dark for some reason. I like the beautiful or
mystery type better. If you like pretty scenery & a game not too
hard to do, this will be your cup of tea!!
Great HOG game
A very enjoyable diversion.
They did a nice job telling the story of The Great Gatsby within the
confines of the game -- the story moved forward smoothly and made sense
even though very condensed. I especially like that they used actual text
from the book. And that they took breaks from the HO finding from time
to time to fill in the narrative. It was also nice that there were some
different kinds of objects that were appropriate to the period.
First
the bad - it's not a hard HOG. The objects are generally fairly easy to
find. The hints are liberal and I never got an over-clicking penalty.
Oh, and the mini-games are incredibly lame -- but there aren't that many
so it doesn't really matter. Mostly, they're there to make some bonus
points.
That being said, this game offered a couple of innovative
changes from most HOGs that were great. One is the use of some motion
HO scenes -- ie, you're in a car driving along while finding hidden
objects, or following a camera pan along some scenery during some
narration. Pretty cool.
The best new thing was the introduction
of a library/trophy room. The library houses your achievement trophies,
but you can also spend points to add artwork, furniture, lighting, etc
to it. You gain points from gameplay, and can earn bonus points by
collecting certain books and finding letters to spell words. Very
satisfying to end the game having a look at all the trophies and a
nicely decked out library -- it adds some replay value, too, if you
didn't get everything the first time through.
Overall, a very fun
game. Probably the only HOG I'd actually play again.
