 Not great, but I'm enjoying it. April 24, 2008

First of all, it's important to explain what type of game this is. This games is a traditional, 2D, point-and-click adventure game. You walk around and explore, talk to people, collect objects and clues, and solve puzzles. I'm a big fan of these types of games, but if you're not as a rule, I would skip this.
As a long-time adventure gamer, I was waiting for the Wii release to play this game. If you've already played it on PC, don't bother. It's exactly the same. The Wii controls are barely used, and when they are it's kinda annoying.
This game definitely has its flaws. It's not a great game. The action is pretty slow and sometimes repetitive. It's not exciting or unpredictable (especially if you've read the book, which I have.) The game is actually not very linear, in that you can do a lot of optional actions and you can do things at different times. That gets confusing sometimes because I felt that I had not done things I wanted to do and was afraid I wouldn't get a chance. But I did.
I have resorted to a walkthrough for a few parts of the game, but I have a low frustration tolerance, so that's not strange. In all, I've been really enjoying my time playing this game. I can't quite put my finger on what I like, but it's soothing and relaxing. I have been monopolizing the TV for several days playing it.
So, if you have liked this type of game in the past, I would recommend it. I understand the later PC games in the series are improvements on this game. I hope they do Wii ports of them as well. Otherwise I'm going to have to get them for PC.
 stuck April 21, 2008
Leighburgercheese (Pittsburgh)
everything is fine and dandy and collecting objects is easy as well as moving around the house, but i seem to get stuck when the first night comes around. i've done it twice now and can't seem to find somehting to put the flour in to get the batteries? unless of course there is a lil glitch with mine. anyway, over all great game but i'm just a bit stuck.

 Like the "Titanic", a Real Sinker! April 15, 2008
ReneKan (Pacific Northwest)
What a disappointment! This game is not worth any price you may want to pay. Do Not Buy! It suffers from primitive graphics that are reminiscent of the old PC platform "Titanic" game. Like that game, the player has no instructions, no tutorial, and an unclear objective. Also like that game, interaction with the game environment is minimal, character movement is stilted. Want something that takes advantage of the Wii capabilities? Forget this game!
 Once stuck, game over April 11, 2008
the_student (Anywhere, USA)
The sound and the cartoon animation during the introduction sets a great tone for the game. It was fun to complete Chapter 1, which I finally did through a stroke of luck. now, I begin Chapter 2 and I'm stuck because I don't have a light. My point is - once you are stuck, the game is over. You can think & think & think...then, ok, now what. So much for that money. Game over.
Also, if you resume a game that you saved, there is no play back feature, so, you better remember what you were doing.
befuddled March 23, 2008

I love Agatha Christie's work, especially when Poirot is the featured sleuth. While I didn't expect this game to be as rich as Christie's works, I was expecting a more entertaining experience. In a word, this game is boring. This is true because the game is befuddled with notes and objects and an endless searching of rooms. The Wii aspect of this game could be so much better, as well. You don't get to do much more than click and twist your wrist to open doors, which you must do so many times you begin to wonder about whether you might aggravate a bad case of carpel tunnel. This could have been great. Someone ran out of money or creativity in its making and needed to cash in early, it would seem.
