Somewhere new and exciting. "Dire Grove" is the perfect escape, so immersive you'll shiver in your computer chair, as it never stops snowing in the strange, isolated little English town where you're marooned behind an abandoned car, its lights on, its doors open, a cryptic note on the front seat. The graphics are gorgeous and "Dire Grove" is a worthy successor to "Return to Ravenhearst" both as an art production and a drama. Most of the action takes place before you arrive on the scene but near the abandoned car you find the first of 20 videotapes scattered around the area which document the adventures of four graduate students who seek to find the truth behind a Celtic legend and quickly get into deep, deep trouble. The tapes are very well done and as you pick them up and listen to each one you'll detect the palpable rising distress of...

And while I love Amazon the developer sells this version for 6.99. Catch the "this version"? There is another one. It's called the collector's edition and available only to members of Big Fish Games, the developer. It's the same price as what this one sells for here but has a built in strategy guide, a couple more scenes and behind the scene material. It also has objects that morph from one object to another (spoon to bowl to spoon) and various achievements. Fantastic series especially from Ravenhearst to Dire Grove. Definite must buy! 22 of 22 people found the following review helpful:  Really good hidden object game, By Irnbru4u (outside seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews = Fun: This review is from: Mystery Case Files: Dire Grove (DVD-ROM) search online I got it for $6.99 (downloadable) (from a famous online game company) don't pay this price! You can also play it for an hour free to see if you like it. This is a hidden object game and an adventure game combined. I really like hidden object games but to be frank the old type gets boring. This takes it up a notch and has 'point n click' - pick up an item then combine with other items or use it somewhere later in the game. Also a nice amount of puzzles thrown in. Nice amount of time - not too short and not too easy either - quite logical with the items and requres some thinking for puzzles which is refreshing. For those a fan of hidden object this is a must play game, and if you pick up like I did cheaper - it's worth the price. |
