Short, easy game

I think I just finished the easiest adventure game I've played. Part of that may be because I've read the story years back and have seen the David Suchet version on TV within the last 5 years or so. Still the puzzles were very simple, although I didn't follow one or two of the "little gray cells" questions' logic as there were more than one possible solution but that's very minor. The gameplay was straight forward. You haven't any real independence. You can see the artistry in the thumbs. Voices were good. I'm not sure what I expected going into a mystery where I could remember certain aspects but it was fun enough and I doubt if I would have had any problem anyway as it drags you through. Interestingly it had black dragons in it ,as the night before I played it I was looking up the Black Dragon Society to see whether their name was based on the Heilong Jiang. If you are looking for a challenging mystery you might want to consider something else. If you don't know the story and don't want to read it or see the TV version first or just want a game that will finish in a day that's fairly straight forward and easy give it a shot.

Nice little game

Well, it's a nice little game, but not worth the 14.99 € price tag to be honest. It's a game by the way, in which (from my purely subjective and irrelevant point of view) the weaknesses outweigh the strengths overall. I found the graphic style really well done. The game atmosphere also convinced me overall. However, the movements and the scenes seemed very rigid and static. Overall, the game was very easy. It took me about 7 hours, including breaks, to play it through. Some puzzles were well structured, others completely illogical. I liked the voice output. However, for me there was still a lot of room for improvement in terms of the overall sound atmosphere. All in all: You can buy it when it's on sale and you like detective stories in the form of a point & click adventure. Despite some expectations, it didn't really convince me.

nice little story, quite simple game

There is not much to play in a traditional point-and-click sense here. Some mini-puzzle games for ordering symbols etc. Interactive choices in discussion as a form of interrogation. Couple of items Poirot picks up and need to be used at some point. The graphics and narrative are quite nice. It is a well done portrayal of mr Poirot as seen on TV with David Suchet. But the story is simple, not much to control but to follow the story. The mini-games would have been a bit annoying since I am not so much into such puzzles, but a walkthrough is handy :). You collect points by acting like Poirot would. Or how the game authors think he would. Its quite funny twist. Worth as a short casual game on some evenings or on a trip, if you can get it on a nice discount. Worked great on a my oldish Linux laptop also which is not too common.

Great Investigation

Typical quality for AC games. Nice graphics, subtle humor, brain required.

They tried...

I love seing Agatha Christie's work made into games. As a big fan of the Sherlock Holmes series (yes, they, too have their weaknesses) and some older Hercule Poirot games, I was convinced this game was for me. While I personally have no quarrels with the style it is done in I must say that the writing is mediocre to terrible. There were times where I just couldn't believe the clumsy dialogues and the nonsense that the characters let off. I didn't expect great graphics, and I certainly don't need them in a game like this, but the writing is essential! ...In this case it's quite disappointing. Aditionally, the "riddles" are very easy (I would say too easy, but that may be different for other people) and the game will hold your hands at all times. This is not to say that that is entirely bad, at least you know when you've found all the clues, but I do like a little more freedom to investigate stuff my way. I don't regret having bought the game for 2.50 and having played it through. But I certainly won't recommend it.
