I found this game to be entertaining when I needed to just pass a little time but not the kind of game that keeps you wanting to go back quickly.
It was a fairly simple game of find the hidden objects. There are a variety of scenes and items to locate. There are some fun ways to look for them by using an xray and underwater goggles as well as interacting with the object to make it fit the item description (like "cut the pie" in which you use the stylus to draw through the picture of the pie). There did not seem to be an increase in difficulty. There is not a time element so you can hunt all you want. You can also click as many times on the screen without penalty.
The back story about the Million Heir was really weak and didn't really add to the puzzles. Towards the end when you are looking for DNA evidence, there is a little game that you have to complete before moving on. It never really got harder and was very simple in nature.
The only time I had a lot of fun was when my kids were looking over my shoulder for items.
Some kids may like this but I don't think it is much of a challenge for most.

Shipped quickly. As advertised. Quality as expected. Great fun to play. Game changes if you select different answers so you can play again as another person and it's still fun.
lacking some mystery. May 11, 2009

i like this game but was a bit disappointed. i received it during recovery from an awful bug i had and was able to finish the game within a day on "rookie" level in storybook mode. i then moved on to the "detective" level and made it through almost as fast. i'm currently on "gumshoe" and finding it a bit tougher, which is good.
the problems are that the only real difference between each level is a decrease in time to locate items, a limited number of hints, and a twist in characters, as to who the heirs and villains are. the characters themselves remain the same, as well as the rooms and the objects you need to find in them. the mini games within each level change only slightly. that is to say, they are the same games but with different outcomes. and as far as a mystery ... there really is none. you don't get "clues" to decipher, so that you can actually figure out the crime. it's more a hide and seek for you while the crime computer (your partner in the game) does the detective work, ultimately telling you "who did it."
i didn't feel any more challenged on "detective" level than i did on "rookie." i honestly felt as if i was playing the exact same game on the exact same level. again, "gumshoe" is a bit harder but not as much as i'd like.
quick play mode just cuts the storyline out (which i actually think is one of the things that makes it worthwhile) and the treasure hunt is a timed hunt for expensive items i just couldn't get into.
i liked the game a lot when i initially started ... but now i'm on the last level and feel kind of cheated. this isn't a game you can go back and play over and over, unless you enjoy repetition or have a bad memory. otherwise, you're in the same rooms, with the same clues, in the same places and you already know where they are.
still ... i wouldn't have finished the game in a day if i hadn't enjoyed the heck out of it. i got my money's worth because playing the game while i was sick made me forget about my pain and get into something else for a while. i just wish there were more levels, different clues, different characters, and so on. i gave it four stars because i couldn't put it down when i first picked it up.
