WAKE UP LADIES!!!!!

I just saw that this game is actually based on a movie by the same name to be released soon. It stars Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro. Now how can they make a bad game out of a movie with that kind of star power?

OK--just finished my hour of this one. Have to agree that it was fairly easy, although some objects were well placed. I think the main thing that I would add is that there was alot of potential for a really great game here (kinda like Women's Murder Club) but they didn't go that extra step.

I think I would give it an average to maybe a little above, as the graphics are good and I did enjoy it. It is one of those games that is in the "more relaxed" HO catagory--and in that light this is a good one. I think at one time, before alot of the "greats" came out this would have been a keeper.

I might pick it up, as I've got 5 credits in my pocket. And for someone just starting out with HO's, this is a good challenge without too much frustration!

Okay, well that explains the bad reviews. I just read that the company that manufactured "Righteous Kill" is the same one who developed "Blood Ties".

What I don't understand is that they had good story lines and all the other right stuff. They just didn't add those extra couple of things to make it a great game. It could have been as interesting and challenging as Women's Murder Club.

I totally agree. While there was some repetition in Women's Murder Club, the story kept me playing until the wee hours. I was expecting something similar with this Righteous Kill and didn't get it. But that's okay. I don't get it a lot of times.

Well girlies, just fixed myself a tall cold one with plenty of ice, now I'm off to try this puppy out (um, no pun intended).

I was wondering about that last night after I played the demo. They "tried" to step it up a bit from Blood Ties (which was boring), but dang.... another great concept gone to waste. I agree with cesse's and lilorange's reviews. Not a horrible game, but nothing new or exciting. Average game, but probably a good one for newbies to HO games. I wish the company that puts these criminal movie-book games out would get a clue that they have great material to work with, but are falling very short in producing them. Such a shame.

Gotta say I agree with everyone's assessment of this game - not bad, nothing exciting, just okay. Bummer, I was hoping to lose a credit on this one. Oh well, hope something better comes out soon. This reminds me of "Haunted Hotel", GREAT concept, but lost in the execution.

Like many others here I was hoping, on seeing the title and realising it was a movie spin off, it would be similar to Women's Murder Club which I thought was fantastic. I have yet to play this demo and no doubt will, but good to know what y'all think.

I am pretty easy when it comes to HO puzzles. If the graphics are clear and stuff is hidden fairly (which is to say not just in the dark or so tiny you can't see) and there's at least a *little* story, I'm happy enough. So if y'all are ok with it, if not thrilled, likely it will amuse me enough for this easy fishie.

Gone go grab it now.

p.s. Who says we're all "Ladies"? *points up to subject*
