Being short is actually fine with me, I play games for a little while after dinner every night so a short game lasts me just the right number of days to finish without seeming to go on endlessly. I liked this game, but I was new to finding only portions of objects at a time, making the things you are looking for not really recognizable. On the other hand, they were usually overlayed into the graphic, so they tended to often stand out. I really love these games where some objects are used in different places than where they were found, and when using an object may lead you to finding another. But....would still rather look for whole objects rather than pieces of them....

Very fun game, but I beat it in about 2 hours. It would make a good "starter" hidden object game, or a good game for kids. It's not quite challenging enough for those with more experience with these types of games. But it's still fun, though, and a way to pass a couple of hours. The second Mortimer Beckett game is longer and more challenging (I played it first).

I didn't get my copy of the game from Amazon as a download; I bought the hard copy from a local store. I'm assuming it's the same, but I can't swear to it.

I really enjoyed this game for a lot of reasons:

1) The graphics are very detailed and enjoyable to look at it. You can tell the creators spent a lot of time on this area of the game.

2) The music is also really good and effectively spooky! Some games play the same tune over and over, which grates, but in this game each level had a different tune. I actually looked forward to see what music would play next.

3) The puzzles are honestly challenging. There is a limited number of "Hints" you can get for each level, and I thought at the beginning, "Pshaw, I'm not going to need the hints!" I was so wrong. Even though I pride myself on being observant, I still had to ask for a hint more than once in the game. Being an adult, I don't know how a young child could complete this easily, so I would say this game is more for older children.

4) The story is well-written and the different puzzles fit well into it. I liked that some of the items you find have to perform "actions" and you use them to unlock further pieces.

My only complaint about this game is that it is so short. I completed it in about 2 - 3 hours, and I was sad to see it end. The shortness of the game is the only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5. For a lazy weekend afternoon, though, it was great entertainment!

In my opinion this is a very fun game. I finished the whole game and played it again. I bought the sequel Mortimer Beckett: Time Paradox. Have not finished but am enjoying it also.

I love this kind of game. While it is not very long and only takes a few hours to complete, it is very fun. My 6 year old son and I play these together, so it does take him a bit longer than 2 hours, but still could be longer. Can't wait for more Mortimer!
