It became truly frustrating.īecause the environments looked so uninspiring on the 3DS screens, the horror theme that the game aims for is largely ruined. I would regularly find myself moving to an area before I had finished exploring the last one because I tapped on something I thought was an object to interactive with. Worse, it's difficult to tell what parts of he environment are meant to be interactive, and what is either static environment, or a spot for moving on to the next area.
Scaled down for a small screen, environments are a low resolution splotch of vaguely horror-themed colour, and they do a horrible job of setting the scene. It's the adventure portion of the game where things go very wrong. You'll need to scroll around to find everything, and not being able to see the whole environment in is frustrating, but it is playable and possible to spot all the objects hidden within the environment easily enough. The hidden object "levels" work OK because the developers have zoomed the screen in.
MCF DIRE GROVE ACTRESS VOICE OVER PC
The most immediately obvious problem is that this was a game originally built for a nice, large PC or TV screen and then compressed down for the handheld. Unfortunately, Mystery Case Files: Dire Grove might belong to the same franchise, but it offers none of the quality of that Wii game, and on a handheld I didn't get to play it with friends or family. I have fond memories of spending many hours with family over the Christmas break working through that game. A good hidden object game also features some adventure game elements in it too, with puzzles to discuss over as you, as a team, progress.įor me, the Mystery Case Files game on the Nintendo Wii was one of the very finest examples of the genre for that precise reason. There's something compelling about huddling around a screen together trying to quickly spot a well-hidden object as a timer ticks down. To me, hidden object games are best enjoyed in company.
