Mystery Trackers: Paxton Creek Avenger
Based on CE Demo
The Paxton Creek Avenger, purported to be the ghost of a vengeful opera singer, has kidnapped a young girl, the daughter of a prominent townsman. Your character is there to find the kidnapper and rescue the girl. Ho hum.
Graphics were amazingly well done. Music was great --- loved the edge of your seat suspenseful tones. Voice overs were clear and easy to hear.
Elf/A La Mode/Avenger/Detective (Custom) modes of difficulty - cute names, huh???
In addition to a transportable map, you also have your helper, ELF, and a 'thermal scope' which finds heat traces which will help show you the Avenger's trail. I used it twice during the demo. The 'hint' button also transports you.
HOGs were a variety of silhouette, list and others ... no alternate game to play if you prefer. Mini games were fun, not difficult at all. The Super Puzzle was a blast. I didn't need to use the 'puzzler helper' which is highly unusual for me. So, maybe it, too, was not too difficult.
CE Bling: LOTS of the usual fare (wallpapers, replayable games, etc.) along with ....
* Archive - not sure what this is.
* Orchestra - collect orchestra members throughout the game - not in every level.
* Collect pieces of photos (easy to find)
* Morphing objects - 17 (also not too difficult to find)
At the end of the demo (which took me less than 60 minutes), the 'Avenger' shouts out that 'this was all a joke!'. But, wait, he has a partner .... and WHO is it?????? I guess that's what we're really here to find out.
This story has been done .... and done .... and done. Kids get kidnapped in a fiery auditorium. An avenging ghost has kidnapped a magician .... in a fiery auditorim. An operatic diva is kidnapped ..... in a fiery auditorium. And, again, here we are ..... a young girl is kidnapped .... in a fiery auditorium. So, while the story isn't original, the game play is entertaining. I didn't feel overwhelmed with mini game after mini game after mini game interspersed with tons of HOGs. I gave a heave of despair over yet another 'gadget' but was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't used all .... the .... time. In fact, I only used it twice during the 60 minutes of the demo.
I enjoyed the game. I wasn't all "OMG NO THE DEMO CAN'T BE OVER!" but it was a nice game. Great for beginners through experts. Will it be a purchase for me?? Yes. CE or SE? That's yet to be seen - lol.
ENJOY!
Overall Impression: Not a bad game. Good for a sale as the story has been done over and over.
