Customer Reviews

Not a long game, but fun The first in the Mortimer Beckett series, this hidden object game has Mortimer, a delightfully bespectacled young man, searching through his family's creepy old house, looking for pieces of the ghost machine. Along the way he encounters a variety of amusing spirits. Gameplay consists of finding the pieces of hidden objects (which have been broken up) until one has a complete object that then must be either put back in its place, or used to complete a task. Artwork on this game is fantastic, and finding pieces of objects, rather than the objects themselves, adds to the challenge, and makes the game a bit more unusual. My one complaint is the length of the game, which is rather short- I finished in less than two hours. Short but Entertaining! I didn't get my copy of the game from Amazon as a download; I bought the hard copy from a local store. I'm assuming it's the same, but I can't swear to it. I really enjoyed this game for a lot of reasons: 1) The graphics are very detailed and enjoyable to look at it. You can tell the creators spent a lot of time on this area of the game. 2) The music is also really good and effectively spooky! Some games play the same tune over and over, which grates, but in this game each level had a different tune. I actually looked forward to see what music would play next. 3) The puzzles are honestly challenging. There is a limited number of "Hints" you can get for each level, and I thought at the beginning, "Pshaw, I'm not going to need the hints!" I was so wrong. Even though I pride myself on being observant, I still had to ask for a hint more than once in the game. Being an adult, I don't know how a young child could complete this easily, so I would say this game is more for older children. 4) The story is well-written and the different puzzles fit well into it. I liked that some of the items you find have to perform "actions" and you use them to unlock further pieces. My only complaint about this game is that it is so short. I completed it in about 2 - 3 hours, and I was sad to see it end. The shortness of the game is the only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5. For a lazy weekend afternoon, though, it was great entertainment! IMO In my opinion this is a very fun game. I finished the whole game and played it again. I bought the sequel Mortimer Beckett: Time Paradox. Have not finished but am enjoying it also.
