Artistic pre-rendered background graphics with uneasy user interface and boring puzzles.

User Rating: 2 | Mata Hari PC
When I was playing the game, my mother glanced at the screen and said "Is that a movie or something?" The graphics are attractive, which might be the only thing good about this game.

In terms of user interface, I cannot understand why designers adopt the drag-and-drop method. In my mind, this is absolutely redundant and lousy, especially when I have done hundreds of such repetitive actions.

Furthermore, the puzzles in the game are plain and of little, if any logic. All I have to do is to find everything I need by moving the mouse cursor and stopping where the cursor changes and then use trial-and-error.

The mini games are not fun, either. Dancing is ill abstracted into cursor-moving and evading from spies when travelling can be horribly annoying after hundreds of repetitions.

To sum it up, the game is not fun at all. But if you like artistic backgrounds with some novel elemetns, give it a try.
