Agatha Christie: Murder On The Orient Express (PC CD)

STILL PLAYTING IT OVER AND OVER EXCELLENT CONDITION

I thought this game was a big improvement on 'and then there were none'. The graphics were really good and the voice acting was better. It doesn't move on till you've done everything, so doesn't miss out any important bits. However, there were a lot of strange combining of objects in the inventory, which was annoying at times.There are still some improvements needed to be made on these games, but can't wait till the next one!!

I wasn't expecting a lot from this game, I thought it'd be tacky and dumb and that's really all I wanted from it. But the gameplay is infuriating. It takes half an hour to even get to the train, you get sent on scavenger hunts by several other characters - and when you talk to them, you get a choice of responses, but it doesn't matter what you say. They're not letting you through until you fetch their parasol. Then on the train, you discuss the other passengers with Poirot, and it doesn't matter what you say or in which order you make your comments - the outcome is the same. It's not a game, it's interactive art, and it's pretty dull at that. Loved the book, but this game just isn't fun.

this must be the most boring game i have ever played.there is to much video and not enough playing.the female you play has the most irrating voice ever.it could have been brillant i only played for about half hour at time because you get fed up

rubbish

daughters favourite game at the present

The title should say it all. This game was ripe to be the Agatha Christie game of all time. David Suchet and supporting cast make the voice acting beleivable and this is what ultimately saves this game. Although the last AC release completely changed the ending of the story, it was a much more substantial release. The player actually was expected to understake most of the tasks and you spent about 70-80% of the time doing things. This release seems to have been rushed out in the hope that David Suchet playing Poirot will save the day.For my liking there are too many times spent just waiting for other characters to finish what they are saying, and the puzzles are not always too challenging. Some are honestly ridiculous in their solution, which actually gets quite funny.The game could have been made more balanced by allowing the character (you do not play Poirot, but a Train Company employee) to have more challenges and tasks. This is a shame, as the graphics are not bad, the sound (esp. voice acting) is wonderful and the interface is easy to use. Here's hoping that AC will continue to release more Agatha Christie games, and spend a little more time on the deveopmet of plot/story/puzzle.Overall I would say that if this game retained the atmosphere and polish of this release, and combined it with the more user led system of the first release (And Then There Were None), it would have merited more stars.Come on Adventure Company, you so almost have the formula right - how about another stab, say another Poirot (ABC Murders, Evil Under the Sun etc) or even a Jane Marple (4.50 From Paddington, A Murder is Announced, A Pocket Full of Rye, etc). The only question left - who would play the voice of Miss Marple now that the definitive Joan Hickson is no longer with us.

This is a Jo Wood version and I cannot get on with them. I didn't play it at all.

È un bel gioco mi piace fluido scorre bene a una un'ottima storia un bel gioco per passare qualche ora al computer lo consiglio

Ich liebe die Spiele Agatha Christie, also konnte auch dieses Spiel nicht schlecht sein. Kann es nur weiterempfehlen. Das Spiel kam original verpackt bei mir an.
