I love these type of games and this one was good. I found though that it was very easy to finish and finding some of the items were a challenge. Only in that they were too small to see. I still liked thgame though. For the money not bad but I would'nt have paid any more.

Had heard that this might be an interesting game ... and it wasn't. Each section would only have a few things to find, that would need to be used in that specific place ... no real challenge. Save your money for better games ...

It is a good game, but it is way too short for the price. I beat the game in less than a day, and there are no unlocks after you beat the game.

Chronicles of Mystery is a spinoff of a PC version of this game. Although the PC version is a classic adventure game, DS version has a different approach. The game is a mix of a hidden object game, adventure puzzles and most importantly, a lot of cool minigames, all this together makes a hybrid that surprisingly works really well. The graphics are great, story is not mind blowing but it fits the climax perfectly and the amount of additional content consisting of hidden object games and minigames is impressive. I would definitely recommend this game to anyone that likes adventure and puzzle games.

If you ever enjoyed one of Layton's adventures for DS or if you were fan of Mystery Case Files - this is definately something of interest to you. It's another very nice sample of how Nintendo DS is good platform for adventure games. Story is interesting and tends to keep you wanting to solve the mystery. I liked the quite unique gameplay (it's mix of adventure mechanic and hidden object style). I absolutely love the graphics! Music could be better, but it fits game well. After beating the main story mode you can run for higscores in minigame mode (and quite a lot of minigames there are) or you can have some quick fun with additional typical hidden object scenes gathered in what they call 'Hidden World' mode. Generally if you are adventure or puzzle fan - it's highly recommended. And for it's price - it's quite a bargain.
