Hidden Objects: Mystery Crimes (#23)

Free iPhone Game - Week #1
Hidden Objects: Mystery Crimes

I downloaded this game and played for about 20 minutes before accepting how frustrating it would be to actively try and have fun with it.

The basics are pretty straight-forward - it's just a standard hidden object game with a few incidental puzzles thrown in (I had to rearrange some tiles to form a picture a couple times) and the premise is that you're a detective and the hidden objects are sometimes clues you need to solve a mystery - oooh!

There's a timer and bonuses and stuff like that and you can only access certain parts of the game if you successfully complete others - all fine, except that within about 10 minutes I was stopped from doing anything new unless I won more "stars" by replaying previous scenes, or waited for crime-solving tasks like "analyze the vial" to complete running in the background, or I could pay to get more stars and have tasks finish more quickly. No thanks.


So, I don't recommend this game unless you REALLY need to play every hidden object game out there and don't mind spending extra money for the in-app purchases you probably would have to buy in order to actually enjoy this one.
