New York Mysteries: High Voltage
Based on the CE, SE and Beta demos
The Mystery Lies in the HOGs
A prisoner is being walked to his final destination ....... the electric chair. He's strapped in ...... the lever is pulled ....... lightning strikes ................ a flash of light! The prisoner is gone ..... NOT just dead gone ....... but GONE gone! Nothing left but his clothes.
Graphics - a bit heavy with the gold/orange crayon - sigh. Voice overs were done very well as were the sound fx.
Difficulties: Easy, Medium, Hard - NO 'custom'.
HOGs - I had an extremely difficult time playing them. They were interactive silhouettes, however, the silhouette was black against black so I couldn't even SEE what I was looking for! NO alternative game to play. Mini Games were fun yet very easy.
Diary: Has lots of info so please read often. A transportable map which, if you should choose in the 'Difficulties', can show where the 'beyond objects' and ' collectibles' are located.
LOTS of CE Bling:
TONS of fun! Music, puzzles, bonus game and ...............
* A 'collection' which includes:
* 7 cats, 11 Statues of Liberty, 8 towers (I think that's what they were - lol) and 7 balls and chains.
* 35 Beyond Objects (morphing objects)
* 20 Diascopes (for us 'oldies', these are 'slides')
Your character (a female) has only recently begun working for a 'secret society' that assists police with not so ordinary cases.
If not for the problem with the HOGs, I would have given this game a SOLID 5 STARS. Unfortunately, I had to take a star away for that reason. How am I supposed to find something ..... I ..... can't ..... see? It really took away from the game play for me. I have really been on the fence about whether to purchase it or not (CE OR SE). If that problem didn't exist, this would definitely be a CE purchase for me.
There's something afoot here. Is it paranormal ...... or the work of mirrors, magic or some other sleight of hand???? There's only 1 way to find out ......................so, maybe I'll see you on the flip side!
ENJOY!
Overall Impression: As I mentioned above ..... if not for the impossible play of the HOGs, this would be a DEFINITE CE purchase for me. Sigh.
