Mystery P.I. Vegas Heist - PC

Like the other review for the mystery pi games. You absolutely can NOT go wrong with thse games. I was a fan of Mystery case files...but these are just as good, and even a little better because they have the unlimited seek and find (granted you have to earn that)..they also have mini games and it's just great. I'm an adult, 57, and these kind of games I think are helping to keep my blonde brain bright. Again...you can NOT go wrong with this game as long as it's hidden objects you perfer. Can't wait for more to come out. I even have a couple of these on my Nintendo DS/XL for when we go on trips. And when my honey is channel surfing, instead of getting upset at how fast he's surfing the tv...I just play my nintendo and watch what I want when and if it comes on....makes for a happy home life. So if you are thinking about it...I say GET IT, GET IT, and GET IT

Like the other "Mystery P.I." titles I've played, "Vegas" is almost completely a HOG (hidden object game). The mini-games are fun, too; in fact, I'd like to see a 3rd option in the new games that includes unlimited mini-game play. As before, my favorite part is the unlimited option. I've found only one mistake in the game so far, where one of a perceived group of objects is missed, but that's pretty piddling. Even the spelling is good, which is not a given with HOGs. If you like HOGs, you won't want to miss "Vegas."

I like a story with the game. This had none. I did like like the seek and find. An exciting ending would have been good.

You start out searching a number of locations for 10 various listed objects in each place. You can play relaxed mode or timed mode, and choose the order of places visited. Every so often your accumulated score causes your private eye ranking to increase.Each location has a hidden fingerprint, key and poker chip, which, if found, gives extra credit points. Finding all the keys and poker chips opens an unlimited play mode. You get about three chances to find each print, key and chip, as that's about how many times each location is visited in a game. Of course, most of the other objects on the list change each time you revisit a location.Between levels, (after about every sixth hunt-for-the-objects location) is a mini-game, (jigsaws, tile swaps, tile rotations, etc.) so it's not tedious like some other hidden object games where there is a repetitious mini-game after each hidden object location.At the end of the game you use some of your collected object to answer a series of 8 riddles. Then you place those same objects into an animated puzzle to unlock the door and recover the stolen loot.After the main game is mastered, the unlocked mode gives you a chance to completely clear each location of all the objects. I enjoy "cleaning up" the mess. :)The game can be played multiple times in each mode and still be a challenge.I gave this game 4 stars rather than 5 because I prefer interactive or character-driven storylines. This had none.

Wonderful graphics and locations. Challenging but not frustrating. I bought all of the Mystery P. I. games and just love them. After you have found the numbered amount of two items, it unlocks access to a large amount of other games. You can really lose yourself in them. Would recommend them to anyone.

I purchased this game based on the raving reviews.This item would not play.It appeared to have loaded, but it just hangs without the movement of the mouse.I rebooted and right clicked on the shortcut to the program and choose compatitblity testing.Microsoft's built in program ran some troubleshooting test and came back with FATAL ERROR.Mystery P.I. Vegas Heist

Usually, Pop Cap games are a cinch to install and play, but this game DOES NOT live up to that criteria!! After completing a level, the game exits

I am having a lot of fun playing the different scenes. It is so nice to be able to play the game without having to rely on internet access. I find it to be relaxing and yet great exercise for my brain.
