The Colour of Murder -- A Review by Nickie

Nickie returns to the town of Norrkoping, Sweden, for the fifth Carol Reed mystery adventure. She finds a murder, a missing person, and a trail of clues. These lead her down sun-drenched paths, into little shops, and deep into the mysterious, abandoned places where history has left tantalizing traces.

A great review, thanks Nickie!

This is my favourite Carol Reed mystery so far, I had a lot of fun playing it.

Thanks very much for taking the time to read it and your nice comments. And thanks to bedazzling Becky and magificent MaG for all the work they did in presenting it so nicely. Gorgeous screen shots!

A reely excelent review. Thuoghtful, comprehensive, informatived and most important extremely ballanced and fair.

Better than very many reviews of recnt games lately-not specifically tcom.and believe me Ive read very very many.

Congratulatons Nicky.

Another great review! Thanks Nickie

A great review Nickie! Thank you

Great review. I have done a few beta tests for MDNA Games. They are all very good games and I will definatly buy this one.
Your review talks about the hint system in the game. I have talked to a lot of young people and asked them why thy don't play more adventure games and they all agree that they hate being stuck and not knowing what to do next. It looks like Mikael & Eleen see this problem. Adventure games don't need action to atract action gamers and other gamers they need a help system.

Very intriguing comment!

Looks as pretty as the others.
Thanks Nickie!

Thanks for the review!!

As above I thuoght it was a very good review but i dont understand the sentance-perhaps my English?

I wasn't talking about the historical facts themselves, if that helps. I was talking about using those facts in the game plot did not in my opinion (of course) seem smooth, not enough foreshadowing perhaps, when the plot was solid on its own without the inclusion.

Im teribly sorry butIm still complete confused
Please-wich historical facts do you mean?

Did you mean It is very important to know this opinion imho

Yes, that is what I was talking about.

I now that a review is an *opinion* of the 1 who write it.And I apologise for a different opinion on this aspect to this very good review
there would be no “mystery to investigate “ and no story or characters to the game but only a roam around the old town of Norrkopping-very nice but not a game
is based on that imho and without it there would be no need for Karol to be there

I think that the norquists always try to introduce some historic or interesting true stuff mixed with the fiction-in a smaller scale like jane Jensen.

I cant remember but in 1 of there previous 4 games they woved in some real facts about how Sweden had some ideas and researches about racial purity and so on before even the Nazis seized on the idea much later and horribly.

Anyway just my 2 cents.I myself like to get some historic or geographic or factual knowledge in a game and I always find it adds to the story and intrest.Maybe not evrybody likes that?
This is one of the reasons I adore jane jensens games and like mikels games
