I have to tell you that this was a really hard game for me to play. But I stuck with it because it was so much fun. I am sure that one of the younger people on this game site will do a review or a walkthrough from an entirely different viewpoint, but keep in mind this is from a senior perspective. It took me almost 3 days to finish and I got stuck so many times I had to find a walkthrough to help me out. Also the hint button did not do me much good. Some of the objects are really small and hard to see. If you keep clicking on the same spot too many times you lose a hint. So needless to say I kept losing hints. So I would have to just click all over the page and sometimes I never did see what the object looked like so I couldn’t find it the next time it came up on the list. Also, sometimes you will need to go to other scenes in the puzzle to find an object there so you can get the object you are looking for. I am sure by now I have you really confused. But don’t worry. All the directions are spelled out clearly before you start the game.
Make sure you read them and also read everything that comes on the screen while you are playing because you get little hints that will help you later on. Besides the objects that are on the list you will be looking for objects that belong to the five suspects that are on the train. Those objects will not come up on the list so you have to remember to look for them on your own. There are also mini puzzles that you have to solve. You can skip these if you want to but it adds time to your game. I must admit I skipped a few because I was frustrated. Oh, you have a choice at the beginning of the game of playing timed mode or relaxed mode. MY advice to you is to play relaxed mode the first time you play. This game is hard enough without worrying about the time.
Anyway, back to the mini puzzles. Some of them were quite easy for me and others were hard. You might whiz right through all of them with no problems. The reason I had so much trouble with this game was because my eyesight just isn’t very good. But don’t let that stop you from trying this game out. It is so much fun and the characters are not annoying. You really feel like you have accomplished something when you finish. I am going to play again after I rest my eyes and brain for a few days. I hope I haven’t discouraged you from trying this game. Sure it is harder than most of the games I have played lately but it is well worth the money and I guarantee you will not be bored and you can play it over and over and still have a good time.
