I was just wondering what other Agatha Christie hidden object game fans thought of the cartoon/graphic novel method incorporated in Peril at End House as a device for telling the story?

I noticed it as a change from Death on the Nile immediately but, even though I've now completed Peril at End House, I still have kind of mixed feelings about that particular element.

My first impression was that it was a bit of a negative in terms of a sequel to a game whose production values really contributed to making it such a standout in my mind. (In other words, I thought it looked a little "cheap.")

On the other hand, though, it occurred to me that using this methodology may have made it possible to bring the game to market a little faster (always a plus!). And in retrospect I thought the method was actually a little more effective in terms of conveying the story.

I'm curious to know if anyone else noticed this with particularity and, if so, what your thoughts are.

Hiya GPM, I haven't had time to play this one yet, but I have played games with the cartoon/graphic novel method and I actually quite like it in general.

I'll be interested to see what our other members think

I enjoyed the game as much as I enjoyed the first one. The cartoon type graphics didn't bother me at all.
The game had a good story and played smoothly, that's about all I ask for in a casual game or really any game.

After playing Amazing Adventures - The Lost Tomb (a game I did enjoy despite repetitive puzzles) I realised how much I prefer a a story running through a game to string it together. Peril at End House offered this - I didn't have any issue with the quality as for me casual games like these are a minor diversion from AGs when I don't have the time to invest. The only slight criticism of the game I have is that in a lot of the levels the objects were quite miniscule & very tiring on the eyes despite extremely sharp graphics.

Only half way through this game and I class it as 'excellent'

I've finished it and it was a good game, don't get me wrong. But deffinately not of the same caliber of the first one. What I missed most was questioning the suspects as was done in the first one. It kind of broke up doing the hidden object screens. I also had a problem with things being too small. Really, how often is a horseshoe the size of a ring?

It was worth the money though and if it didn't have a timer I would class it as one that I would play over more than once.

My game is freezing when I get to Freddies room and when I reboot it starts the chapter before it all over again... I am sort of tired of that chapter... I think it may be a conflict with Vista. I have written to BF and I'm sure I'll hear from them tomorrow.
