 did not like it October 6, 2008
The game is not like any other hidden objects. Tried for a few minutes, did not like, quit it right away. Never played again.

problem that I kept having use the difference between
right and left clicking. Very good game.

A Logic Game December 26, 2007

Because of its affordable price, I bought Inspector Parker sight unseen. I had (mistakenly) thought it was a hidden object game like the Mystery Case Files (Prime Suspect, Huntsville, etc.)
Essentially, Inspector Parker is a logic game. Remember those logic puzzles in book format where there is a cast of characters wearing different clothes in different rooms--and then, after reading some clues (John wore a green hat but was not in the kitchen), you had to place each individual in a particular room wearing particular clothing?
Well, this game is a lot like that, except the same premise is carried out visually. You get a vertical "slice" view of a house with several characters and several weapons. Based on the clues given, you have to figure out who was in what room with what weapon.
It's not a bad game...but it's not, in my opinion, an enjoyable or addictable missing object game. (I get enough of a mental workout writing, so I tend to look to PC games to relax between chapters or reviews.) No, this requires a bit more brain power akin to logic puzzles. If logic puzzles are your thing, you may enjoy this. But if you're looking for casual gaming that doesn't require a ton of logical analysis, you may be a bit disappointed.
