Should I buy this one?

I love mystery games and I love Agatha Christie but there are several AC games to choose from. How good is this game? Is it better than the other AC games?

I would have liked the game if there wasn't a timer. I've had to do the levels over and over . Very frustrating for me, the hidden objects are so small you can't even see them when you use a clue , which you only get 5 per round. I bought this game and wish I hadn't !!!

I agree with Paula. I wish I hafn't bought this one. I bought the other Agatha Christie one - Peril at End House. It took me a few goes to get through each level but it was achievable. With this one some of the objects are almost impossible to pick up . I have now tried the level I'm 9 times and run out of time each time. I have given up and will not be getting any more of the Agatha Christie games.

I bought it and liked it. Yes, you have to repeat some levels - and there is one minigame I just don't get, which is rare for me.

The case is nicely done, however, you don't have to take notes, you will solve it for sure since the game guides you to the end (you solve it in a memory type minigame).

I bought both Death on the Nile, and must have enjoyed it as I followed with buying Peril at End House. I agree, the timer was a pain for me, some scenes to this day I'd have to replay to progress. Many items are very tiny on small monitor, but was stingy with my hints, saved them for desparation LOL.

One of the first HOGs I ever played that had some interaction and I thought it fun finding 6 roses for a vase, or so many pens etc to move to a jar. But I think it was the charm of the period piece that sucked me back in for replay during dry spells. I guess replays are more fun, less of a challenge if lucky enough to remember where some items are, but even replay within a sitting, the list changes.

For me, I do appreciate them as classics, but never played subsequent ones as they are long files I think. Try the demos, judge for yourself. Now that so many new HOGs are out with much more interaction and complex puzzles I guess these don't have as much appeal to advanced players, but at the time the Agatha Christies felt advanced to me. At least the mini games, few as there were, were simple enough for me, but skipable if I remember. I'm glad to have them in my collection, have a different flavor of their own when I want something different.

I loved both AC games. And did have to replay levels. I found them beautiful to look at and replay value is excellent.
