Not great, but I'm enjoying it. Apr 24, 2008
By Kim
First of all, it's important to explain what type of game this is. This games is a traditional, 2D, point-and-click adventure game. You walk around and explore, talk to people, collect objects and clues, and solve puzzles. I'm a big fan of these types of games, but if you're not as a rule, I would skip this.
As a long-time adventure gamer, I was waiting for the Wii release to play this game. If you've already played it on PC, don't bother. It's exactly the same. The Wii controls are barely used, and when they are it's kinda annoying.
This game definitely has its flaws. It's not a great game. The action is pretty slow and sometimes repetitive. It's not exciting or unpredictable (especially if you've read the book, which I have.) The game is actually not very linear, in that you can do a lot of optional actions and you can do things at different times. That gets confusing sometimes because I felt that I had not done things I wanted to do and was afraid I wouldn't get a chance. But I did.
I have resorted to a walkthrough for a few parts of the game, but I have a low frustration tolerance, so that's not strange. In all, I've been really enjoying my time playing this game. I can't quite put my finger on what I like, but it's soothing and relaxing. I have been monopolizing the TV for several days playing it.
So, if you have liked this type of game in the past, I would recommend it. I understand the later PC games in the series are improvements on this game. I hope they do Wii ports of them as well. Otherwise I'm going to have to get them for PC.

 Agatha for wii Jul 21, 2008
By J. Booth
"art diva"
I love a good murder mystery and this is the first one for wii. Yes, it took forever to complete and there were some very tedious times trying to figure out what you needed but all in all I got wrapped up in this game and hope there are more in the genre coming out. I DID have to go online and find some cheats in the middle of the game or I would have never finished and just given up but I still enjoyed it. If you are a fan of Christie you will like the game. It is geared towards adults and I think most high school and college kids would find it too slow to be fun.

 The Real Mystery -- Why Did I Waste my $$ on This ?? Mar 10, 2008
By wrldruler
My suggestion: borrow it, play it, return it.
Let me first admit that I have never read the Agatha book, or played the PC game. So I started with a blank slate. I will also admit that I am an ADHD gamer, and wasn't interested in this game. But my wife wanted a low action, easy-to-play, 7th Guest puzzle game.
She did not get what she wanted. My wife lasted only about an hour in the game, and then she was done. I lasted 2 more hours, and then I was done. I decided I wanted to see the ending, so I turned to a strategy walk-through cheat guide on the Internet. With the guide's help, the game was over in a few more hours.
I used a walkthrough guide based on the PC version, and found it 99% identical to the Wii game. So if you played this on the PC, there is really no need to buy the Wii version. Yes, there are a few puzzles that you can use the Wii motion-controls, but I found these very few controls to be awkward and unresponsive. Opening doors drove me crazy throughout the game (and I opened a ton of doors in The Godfather).
The game has a few puzzles that require you to assemble various inventory items together. But these puzzles are NOT required in order to complete the game - they are just sidebars that provide superficial entertainment. And if it wasn't for the cheat guide, I don't know how anyone would have ever figured out some of these puzzles, or where to pick up the inventory items. For instance, the location of the antidote appears to be completely random (and only makes sense AFTER you know the ending).
The puzzles did not drive the plot along, and the plot did not move you to and through the puzzles. This is what separates this game from some of the other historic success stories in this genre.
The only requirement to moving the plot along was talking to the other characters. The main challenge was to find where the characters have walked off to. So it was really just several hours of wandering around, checking the same rooms over and over and over again, hoping to bump into a character.
And save your game often, because there are some bugs. My game froze at the raft scene and I had to restart from an earlier save - which only prolonged my misery.

 Patience is the key. Oct 22, 2008
By Mark A. Brust
"The Rattis"
Every puzzle takes time to decipher, unravel and unlock.
So are the intricate twists and often-times red-herrings of this game. Those that dismiss it are looking for a quick answer. But true fans of the mystery genre rely on wit, observation and listening. All the facts are there. It is up to you to discover them.
There are four endings to the game based on what you do within. Follow the book, and you just might be right. Follow your instinct, and see where it takes you.
With that said, I must admit I have not fully solved the game yet. Neither have I resorted to reading "cheats on the Internet". But I continue to press on in search of the fiend. If you buy this game, be prepared to be challenged. And let your brain, not the Internet, help guide you to the solution. After all, isn't a challenge you sought in buying this game??
It is a fantastic journey so far, and I'm sure my concluding review will be the same.
And so will yours.
