Art of Murder - The Secret Files Reviews

They changed the format from the first 2 in the series, this one has those hidden object puzzles. Plus it's extremely short, took me only 2 hours. This is the 3rd game in a series of 5, following FBI agent Nicole Bonnet. I guess you don't have to play them in order, but some do end weirdly. :-)

Many will find this unplayable. I am at my first Hidden object section and it simply will not let me click on the final item. There does not seem to be a fix for it. It was part of a set so I am not really out much, however this game should not be sold in its current form.

I'm 10 minutes in and the game failed to register me finding the hidden object no matter how much I clicked on it. It's fundementally broken. It didn't look like it was going to be fun anyway what with the no voice acting.

if I didn't get this game in the Art of Murder Bundle, I would've been angry on purchasing this for full price. It's not even worth a single cent to play this game. I don't mind HOG games, except when they are done this way. This is one of the worst games I've ever played.

Unlike the other Art of Murder games which were point and click, this one was find the hidden items, And do a few puzzle games (without too much instruction on what you were supposed to do). If you like hidden item games, give this a try. It was not at all like the red of the Art of Murder games, which left me disappointed.

The game won't let me pass the first hidden object game. Some glitch that I couldn't correct even with an advice comment. Very disappointed when these older games just don't run properly.

Sadly, this game is unplayable. While the graphics are improved after the first 2 games in the series, there is no voice acting in this one and it looks more like an hidden object game play than the previous ones. I would still love to play the game even so, but I've reached the first HOG and got stuck. Not because I couldn't find the objects, but because regardless of how I click on them, the game doesn't recognise that I've found them. Even using the hint option and clicking on the object doesn't do anything. Pity though, because from what I've seen in the beginning, it could have been a really nice game.

This game won't run properly on Intel onboard graphics cards. So I ran it on my Nvidia card. My fans were running constantly all for this stupid, poorly designed game. I wasn't even able to finish it because of a flaw in the game. Got almost to the end of the game until I reached a section involving gears that must be placed in a well and it will not allow you to make any mistakes. If you do, you're stuck and can't move on. Apparently, the developers know this, but don't care because there's a whole bunch of people who complained about this but there has never been a fix for it. Don't waste your time with this. Its a waste of money at any price.

Unlike "FBI Confidential", "Hunt for the Puppeteer" and "Cards of Destiny", this is no Point&Click adventure, but a collection of picture puzzles, tied together by a ... well... no, you can't call it "story".

This has nothing to do with the former Art of Murder trilogy. It's a totally different game that just uses its name. And it's bad... not worth the money. Had hoped to play another brilliant case of Nicole Bonnet. I'm deeply diappoinnted.
