I'm sorry to say but this release is a bit disappointing compare to the first AC And Then There Were None.

User Rating: 5.7 | Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express (2006) PC
I was expecting much more from this release, i have played the first A.C release and somehow i liked it but Murder on the Orient Express let me down.

First of all, i was expecting to have more space to explore, more stations that you can visit and cities, why not? It has the same let down points as the previous release. The story, well the story... is common , no particular distinctions and what's more irritating it's the fact that you have to investigate the whole murder case with all the minor details and all of this just because the the character is a big fan of detective crime solving books published by a well known detective who happened to be on that train. And because this detective was injured you will have to take his place and gather all the info needed and then share it with the injured detective who is lying on the bed.

Practically i have already toled you the whole game, it's irritating that you have to circle between all the peoples there in the train asking all kind of questions , you will say that this is normally for an adventure game, and you are right , but asking those questions over and over again will not get you any further and that feeling that an adventure game should implant is very uninteresting or maybe it's absent. Because, in my opinion, an adventure fan will play this games especially for the story.

Ok, the graphics are ok, not very impressive considering other releases, the voice actings are mediocre, it's annoying that the voice of the detective keeps saying something dull during exploration, not that the voice is irritating...:). The story is not so interesting , just as well the previous release of A.C but there were some thriller involved which gave it color.

I am an adventure fan and no matter how bad the game is i will play it, i respect the developers wish and i have nothing to object. Of course this is only my opinion. I would say this game is mediocre in all points of view : graphics, sounds and story, and you should play it if you enjoy the genre.

Cheers
