Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express

"Nice touches are the falling snow seen through every window of the train. And, the landscape is different in each window as well. There are some cinematic cut scenes which are pretty and help move the game along, but they are somewhat pixilated. I thought perhaps it was my graphics card, but it was the same on another computer as well."

"I know the game's set on board a famous train, but was there really any need for the developer to stick the adventure itself on such rigid rails? For the next Agatha outing, let's have less detective-by-numbers, more life in the environment, and some true interactivity with the characters."

"The graphics are rather classic and the characters move and behave quite unnatural."

Instead, as you desperately try to figure out the one item/clue/inventory combination you haven't stumbled across, Poirot "cooperates" by giving you a general instruction to keep searching and interrogating suspects - the same things you've been doing all along.

"The newest Agatha Christie adventure game suffers from monotonous tasks and contrived plot twists that drag it down to mediocrity."
