Good game August 1, 2010 myml97 This game was pretty fun. I purchased it when it was on sale so I feel I got my monies worth.
The game is fun....you are trying to find the hidden objects and in addition to this you need to review the clues to find who is the theif. There are also mini games that relate to the story line.
There are many rooms to explore (usually 4 with each suspect)and there are 9 or 10 suspects. The graphics are not super high quality so it can make finding the objects difficult. The only other complaint is that the rooms do not change when you search for clues with a differenct suspect. For example, Rachel's room (and the objects in it) are exactly the same as when you are investigating the butler. A small gripe, but still.
Overall this was a good game. It was fun and imaginitive.
Never was able to play. July 19, 2010 Luci I was attracted to this game because of its ratings. However, I was never able to play the game because the mouse doesn't work on it.
Errors and Crashes July 16, 2010 Taurox (NY) It could be because I am running this on windows 7. However I also tried running the game in windows xp mode. The game crashes about once every few minutes with errors. At least the game would save my progress and I could just restart the game until the next crash. However now it appears it crashes at the beginning of the game before the menu. So I am no longer able to play it. It was a nice challenge though while it lasted.
A Welcome Surprise July 16, 2010 invisiblgirl I downloaded this only because Amazon was running a 3.99 promotion, and it turned out to be the best game I've played in recent weeks. I would echo the complaints of other reviewers that the objects are sometimes a bit too well-hidden - IMO, the problem is with the graphics, as the objects are sometimes too blurred or indistinct to identify. And I have to take issue with the 'Russian' translation, as the coded letter contains a few characters that are not even Cyrillic and the letter cognates are completely haphazard (for example, the Cyrillic letter 'C' should have represented the letter 'S').
However, neither of these problems are so great as to ruin the fun of the game. There are no ridiculously tedious 'connect the pipes' minigames (actually, no real minigames at all - just a few jigsaw and coded letter exercises). As another reviewer noted, you do return to the same place more than once (but I think not more than once), and it seemed to me that the objects to be found the second time around were all completely different. Best of all, you actually get to solve the mystery at the end - based on the stories and evidence of each character, you choose the suspect to accuse.
Great Game! June 25, 2010 J. Gildenberg (Boston, MA United States) Mystery Masterpiece Moonstone is a great game. Periodic details were nicely done and I loved the fact that the hidden objects were historically appropriate. The game itself was engaging - not too difficult but satisfying. I recommend it!
