Add this to MillionHeir, Amazing Adventures and Mystery PI. All play the same, all great seek and find games. This one is wrapped around various crimes and the selection of scenery is more than the other games.While there are many different screens to search from, one downside that has prevented me from giving it five stars is that the clarity of the images could be improved upon. Some items are just difficult to discern and the slide function can sometimes trigger the system to think you’ve selected something when you haven’t. This becomes a problem because if you have to many “random” hits, you get 30 seconds deducted from your search time.The mini games are cool, but the “clues” don’t enable you to make an accurate and educated guesses when it comes to selecting a criminal. The “clues” are shared characteristics among the many suspects, with no one clue or criminal characteristic unique enough to select a correct criminal.
Very cool story (mystery). I learned not to play this game if my eyes were tired – THAT’S how hard it is. For instance, you’re looking for an object right? Can’t find it and eventually ask for a clue. EVEN WITH THE CLUE YOU STILL CAN’T SEE THE OBJECT. But I want to know where it is for the next time around so I do the random tapping that gets you the time penalty. There was a sparkle so I know I hit it but STILL couldn’t see it! Come on now, that’s TOO hard, OK? (There are only one or two items that were “invisible” like that. “Vanishing” is right.)I have all the hidden object games (I think) that are in Nintendo DS format and this is my least favorite/least “re-played”. The first time through is OK because of the mystery.
I purchased this game recently….I have several “find object” games….for DS and PC….though I really like and enjoy the game…(I think because there are so many things to do and levels to reach.)…Iam a little frustrated during the play as sometimes I find it hard totap on an object and it respond…. I’ve had to go back overthe same area and “tap” before it reacts. And when you tap and it dosen’t regester you are penalized and lose pts. Not that points are expremely important if you like playing the game, but it’s frustrating none the less. I have learned to zoom in and out of the magnified mode to get the object to leave the screen. Having said all that….I still play the game and enjoy it…and would recomend it for anyone who likes to play these “find object & puzzle” type games. The items are a little difficult to find so on that level it may not be a game for younger players.
just started playing this one. it’s another addictive hide and seek type puzzle game. not very hard, but some of the clues are harder to find than others.
Love the seek and find puzzles and the mystery of the game. I also love that it’s not too hard to find things.
I really love hidden object games. I love playing them online and any other way I can. So when I saw this game for the ds, I was excited. The game is just like the pc version, I mean just like it. I remember some of the places to find things from the pc version. But that isn’t a bad thing. It helped me along the way. The only fault I see in the game is that the pictures are so small. I had to really strain to find somethings, but it didn’t stop me from playing. It was just a little set back. Played the game all the way through, and I also enjoyed the plot too. I good game to have to just kill some time. If you like hidden object games, get it, it’s not that hard to see. LOL!
This is a combination of a small variety of games, including 2 hidden object games, 2 picture matching games, and a brief mystery based on given evidence. This sequence is repeated (as mini-mysteries) over a dozen times with a thin, but interesting back story and overall mystery. There is a minimum of character development.The game is generally quite easy (with a generous time allotment), and potential frustration is minimized by the “clue” feature, which comes at the cost of total score. I do not recommend this game for those looking for a challenge or an epic story. It is great for relaxing in the late evening, even for gamers, and it can be learned almost instantly. A nice, fairly short, straightforward, I-Spy mystery set to the DS. Note that it can be straining on the eyes.
I enjoy Seek and Find games. I received this one for my birthday a few months ago and have really enjoyed it.This game has neat chapters which I really think are a neat part of a game like this. The characters are good and well drawn.Each chapter goes from Seek and Finds, to find the differences then to harder put these items back where they belong and then you peg different suspects, so the game is not monotonous, and it’s interesting.The graphics are good although sometimes I can’t make out what things are in the background and it has a bit of the grainy look at times which I have seen for the DS with this type of game before.All in all, to unwind with this game and take your mind off things – I give this a go ahead and get it – it’s engaging enough and fun enough to keep you playing!
I got this game for christmas and it was fun! The only cons were having to tap multiple times on items to get them to register. This game is a lot like Millionheir, with more to it. Good story line as well.
It was easy enough not to hold up the game with several minor challenges.. I’m a mystery and puzzle nut anyway.

This game is almost as hard, but not too much. I beat the game and the story was so interesting!

This is another one of those hide and seek games which are totally addictive to me. This one has several different puzzle games in it too…..like find the difference between 2 pictures. You can either play the story line or the mini games as you open up the different areas.As an adult who loves her DS Lite…….I find these puzzle games give me hours are enjoyment.

I really enjoy the “hidden clues” in some of these games. This one especially was fun, since the clues weren’t necessarily easy to find. Had a great time. Also, it is a game you can play over & over & still enjoy it.

I love this game, This is my favorite game, along with Million Heir, but I agree with most of the reviews here-the graphics are definitely too small. I wear reading glasses to read and sew, and of course, when I play my ds. It’s hard to spot some of the items in the seek and find. I guess it would be a little easier on the pc game, but I like my ds. And sometimes it takes tapping a few times before an item will ‘disappear’ when you locate it, earning you a random tap penalty. (I thought that was just my ds, though.) Maybe not.I think it’s basically a good story line, has a variety of things to do and holds the interest. I couldn’t put it down for a long time and and will hang onto it for future use. I’m not sure that younger kids will be able to play this game, since some of the items are pretty difficult to find, I expect it depends on the individual child.

There are those out there in the video game world who hate games like Mystery Case Files Millionheir, or games of it’s type because they are too easy and lack depth. To those people I have this to say: Go get an Xbox 360 and play Halo for sixteen hours with nothing but fourteen cans of red bull and a bag of cool ranch doritios. For those of us who enjoy a good casual game let us continue shall we?Cate West is a seek and find game, you look at pictures and try to find differences and solve a mystery. The plot is very rich with characters you’ll get involved with and a gameplay mechanic that will test your limits.This game is perfect for someone like me or my grandmother who owns Mystery PI for her computer. It is games like this that draw us casual gamers(and those who straddle the line) to the DS . Yes it is a clone of so many other seek and find games, but does that matter? If it is a good time then leave it alone.In other words young folks like meChallenge your brain with this game and others like it, your loved ones will thank you when you don’t get althzimers or dementia when you are eighty-five.

I got so addicted to this one that I forgot all about how to do some of my others in the process of my Cate addiction. It’s not just an endless search and find. You go from finding items, to being given items to find where they belong in two identical pictures, to finding what is missing from two different pictures. On top of that you get to pick from the clues you have created to narrowing down the suspects and putting them behind bars. Really the number 1 of the many that I have.

You will quickly become addicted to this game. I love that it is a female character who solves the mysteries. Most of the games tend to be men.The crime scenes are search and find type scenes. I must say the graphics are wonderful on this game. There are 15 levels that you have to solve the crimes on. Then you will be able to choose how you want it to end.Another new and different feature is on compare sides problems you don’t know which side to touch to get the point. Once you touch it then it changes to match the other side. These are difficult to find and again you can zoom in. This is just such a fun game.Hint when zooming use the control pad to manuver as stray touches to the screen cost you minutes. Not only do you search and find and they disappear there are modes where you place things back on 2 different pictures to make them the same. Then it gets really tricky they give you say 2 items that are key to the crime and break then into pieces and you have to find them scattered all over town.Cate’s past plays a big part in searching out these clues and answering the questions. Cate has visions and dreams that help her find clues. Due to the violence it is rated at E 10+ and I certainly would agree with that. Myself I’d say it is an adult game.Don’t sit down to play unless you have an hour because you will want to learn just one more clue, then another. This is so far the BEST search and find game, it goes way beyond the routine. You will love it.I just got it so obvious.

This was the first game I played on my DS when I got it as a present. Generally I like puzzle games, platformers and all sorts of solving mysteries related games. I wasn’t familiar with the seek and find object games (not even on PC), so this was a first time for me.Although my opinion might be biased by this particular fondness, I still agree with some of the reviewers on the graphics of this game being a bit to dark and overcrowded. Some objects had to be tapped more than once to select them, and this being considered random tapping, earned you a penalty. I have to say a few items were really hard to see, so it was good that you could skip through different locations and find other objects, leaving the hard ones.I liked the different tasks: spotting the differences, seeking objects, reconstructing the crime scenes and solving the mysteries. It may seem repetitive, but for the most part the game had a good storyline and it kept things interesting. Every level within a mystery was relatively short, so it made it easy to play for a while and put it down.
