 MCF Huntsville September 28, 2008
I like this game and I'll probably play it over and over in the future.
A lot for the money. September 23, 2008
This is an excellent value for a game that is both fun and challenging. It is especially good for developing concentration. There is nothing fancy here, but the levels offer a pleasant way to pass a few minutes with a game that can actually be completed at one sitting. The puzzles are cute as well.

Mystery Case Files Huntsville- it's the first game in the Mystery Case Files series, and the one that created the popular Hidden Object genre. The storyline for this game places you as a detective, trying to solve the case of the missing diamond from the Huntsville museum. You investigate a variety of locations by looking for hidden objects. Each location reveals a new troublemaker, and all of them seem to belong to the same crime ring. At the end of the game you uncover the mastermind, and discover who's really behind the diamond theft. There are many good points to this game- the storyline is a good one, and the game definitely makes you want to get to the end so that you can solve the whodunnit. Huntsville is full of a variety of entertaining criminals who, you'll discover through the levels, seem to engage is some bizarre crimes. Perhaps most importantly, the pictures in this game are VERY well done. They're complex, they're funny, and the objects are well integrated into the picture- they're not just plonked on top of a background scene. As this was the first Mystery Case files game, it's also the easiest. If you're new to the hidden object genre or looking for a good kid's game, this is a great place to start, but it's also engaging and difficult enough that it should please everyone. Highly recommended.
Fun for children and adults August 19, 2008
I purchased this product after reading the online reviews. I have never played a game with this format before. It was enjoyable for me to play alone. In addition, my six year old, 12 year old and husband liked to play with me as well to solve each case.

Mystery Case Files: Huntsville
Product by ACTIVISION
Review by SpeekNDaTruuf
"Mystery Case Files: Huntsville" by ACTIVISION is a hidden object game with hours of endless fun! Huntsville is a city plagued with crimes that the Huntsville Police Department just simply cannot solve. This is where YOU come in. You have to race against the clock to find several hidden objects (and each new game provides new objects to seek) in order to find out who is committing these heinous crimes. There is a ranking system, somewhat like a promotion, where you start at the lowest rank and eventually end up at Master Detective, and there are timed puzzles after completing each level that shows you who the culprit is. Can you find all of the hidden objects and nail the dirtbag before time runs out?
"Mystery Case Files: Huntsville" is a great game, if you're into that kind of thing. I happen to be very into that kind of thing, so I enjoyed it immensely. While I usually play these games by my Self, my sister wanted to play along with me, and she really loved it. In fact, I originally bought it as a birthday present for her because she and I had played several other free and downloadable trial hidden object games before, and she really enjoyed those.
So, what made me choose this one over several other hidden object games? Well, the price was fair; not too expensive, but definitely nothing close to free. Also, having played other "Mystery Case Files" games, I knew that the graphics would be nice and that the objects wouldn't be too hard to find. I hate playing a hidden object game where the "hidden objective" is to have you strain your eyes for hours on end without actually finding the "hidden object." "Mystery Case Files: Huntsville" is easy on the eyes and you actually feel as if you are accomplishing something as opposed to just wasting time. Before long, you are wrapped up in searching for the hidden objects that you forget other routine things, i.e. answering the phone, watching television, checking e-mail, etc. In other words, it's very addictive, and you actually look forward to playing it each time. Or maybe that's just me. THREE AND A HALF/FOUR STARS.
