Santa Claus is missing. There are a nice mix of puzzles and mini games in this H/O game though some of them are on the easy side. There are 80 levels in all and the presentation is very attractive. Sometimes the dialogue can be a bit silly.The game is played in time mode but there is plenty of time. It is a fun game for the holidays esp. for the family. Not very hard but not ridiculously easy either. If you are a H/O fan you will enjoy this. The beauty of it is in the holiday theme and some of the mini games.

The premise of the game is standard fare, nothing exciting. The objects you need to find in order to get the powerups are obvious, not hard to find. When you do find one the announcer's voice is very irritating. Most of the objects are medium easy to find but some are impossible due to the fuzzy, dark graphics.
The Womens Murder Club is a game with part H/O, part puzzle and part detective story. It has many original mini games and great graphics. It has a much stronger storyline than most h/o games and makes great use of collecting inventory items. It is realistic enough to make you feel like a real detective lol. There is so much to the game that you won't be disappointed! I am sure there will be more to follow.
There are a lot of interesting scenes, good reality theme and neat use of the cursors. However, many of the objects are unclear and too many hints. It is a lighthearted game on the easy side yet it offers something different for H/O fans than the typical mystery, ghosts or haunted house.
The game has a lot of challenges. One of the neatest things is the game atmosphere changes with each decade. It has great replay value. It can be difficult to unlock all of the EXPERT sections. It is a fast paced time management game with lots of twists. There are also lots of upgrades in the game which make it worth playing again.
First off, I thought I was buying "Battle for Middle Earth," so I was shocked to get a First person hack and slash in the mail...oops!
However, I was pleasantly surprised.
ROTK has very nice graphics and movie cut scenes, and loads of special features that should please any fan. Unlockable characters are very cool, and so is the added movie and art bonuses.
On my Macbook 2.0Ghz w/ 1 GB Ram (64 meg VRAM)I can only play it on lower settings, and 800x600 resolution. Anything above that and during melees or explosions it lags horribly. That said, at my moderate settings, it still is a pretty game with lots of eye candy.
The gameplay itself is not inspired when played with keyboard and mouse: this is definitely a game best played with a gamepad, as the "combo" moves (ie:LMB, f, L-shift, etc) are difficult to pull off without a double-jointed pinky. Never fear, tho, it still good, you just might not be able to use your more advanced moves in the middle of a frantic battle. (Macbook users will want to re-map some controls to make it easier)
The sound is pretty good, altho some cutscenes are not perfectly synced to the mouths moving on screen. But most sounds are right out of the movie. When loading some levels on your repeated attempts to beat them, it can get annoying that you have to watch the intro to a level over and over with no way to move right to the battle. (there is a workaround for PC, but haven't had luck with it on my mac)
The game has a tendency to crash ONCE IN A WHILE...not often enough to throw it out the window, but every few days just to keep you on your toes. Saving is not really handy...you cannot save in the middle of a level, or right before a boss. You can only save after completing a level.
Overall, a good game, not a great one, but for 14.95, a real bargain.
I do enjoy the Hidden object games, and this one is exceptional. I like that there is a combination of hidden objects and puzzles to work out. Up there with my all time favorite of Azada. Hope to see more of this kind of game. If there is a negative, it is much too short.
Started out deceptively easy and got progressively harder. Two of the cases (solving puzzles) I ran out of time and had to redo. The graphics are excellent...good detailed artistry. The sound is not annoying and the story lines are varied. You WILL need to use the enlarged magnifying glass or go insane. Would do another from this creator. The game is a foot...
Running this game on an emac with 10.4.11 maxed out with ram but always crashing randomly to the point where i have to force switch off the computer all the time. When it does run, it is a great game but with all the crashes nit really worth it. Can't find an update anywhere on the net.
The game is enjoyable; it teaches you how to prepare dishes without the mess. The chopping, mixing and baking are realistic. I was surprised how much fun this was. The recipes are real which makes it cooler.
With so many hidden object games out there, this one was rather disappointing. The graphics are not crisp and because of that items are harder to find. The commentator's voice tends to get annoying as you find the hidden objects.
If you are a Dark Castle player, the third installment is a must. You get to play the first two games and new levels. It's in COLOR ! ! ! Since the company fixed the pref3 bug the game encountered, there are no glitches.
Wonderful graphics, sound, mini games. The only problem I encountered was fitting together the puzzle pieces. If you don't have a mouse with a right clicker, hold down the control button when moving the pieces around. I had to contact Macgamestore for that info. the directions do not include that bit of info.
I love hidden object games, but, this one offered soooo much more. The game is incredible, you feel like a part of the story and playing all the roles is exciting. My favorite was being able to do forensic "stuff" like collecting samples and running tests to check the blood type. The only draw back is once the game is beat . . . there is no alternative play. BUT, the game is worth owning.
As a long-time James Patterson fan, I was pleased to try this game. Then I found a variety of fascinating puzzles: in addition to the usual seek and find, it contains math, word and logic puzzles which all present changing challenges each time I play. Of course, I purchased this game and hope the creators will produce more fun. I can't rate the sound, because I turn off the sound and listen to my radio while I play games.
