Looked at PlayAsia site - they say they are still waiting

It arrived! I only played the tutorial but it's already so much fun!

I'm pretty far in the game and I just loving it! It's such a fun to interact with the objects (to grim the Ripper) or chicken and eg... With each case some objects are getting more difficult to see and require the special means, but it ads the interest. Now I've encountered the problem and can't figure out the reason. I found 2 objects from the list - a treble clef and a cotton swab, but clicking on them repeatedly didn't remove them. I don't know if it is my DS or what? Could anybody help me please?

I love the game. I played it for hours yesterday and can't remember what chapter I'm on. I love the different types of interaction. The story and feel of the game remind me a lot of Prime Suspects (somewhat lighthearted). Loved also seeing some Madame Fate thrown in. You've definitely got a winner here BFG Guy!

Springchicken, I don't know what scene you're on. Do you need to interact with them with the hand/scribble icon at all?

Misa, it is in Dusty Graves case, Nature Center scene. I used the X-Ray thing to find the cotton swab and used the hint to check it, I also used the hint to find a treble clef, which is very difficult to see. No interaction is possible.

Hm, I don't have any suggestions for you. Is there a way to restart a level? Maybe try that if there is a way.

I don't think there is a way to restart the level, you can only start from the last and only save or start a new game. I presume you haven't played this case yet? Could you let me know, when you play it? Thanks.

Edit: You were so right! I haven't checked one of the interactions and now I did it and Voila! Thank you, misa, you did help me!

Glad you were able to get past it!

Its in the post fromn Asia.
I'm getting very very very excited.

Yeah Jenny!! How long do you think it will take to get to you?

How long from Asia to the UK ? 5 days - 3 weeks ??? I'll let you know if I can tear myself away from the game.

Did anyone finish this yet? I think I am in the home stretch with

How are you liking it? Is it hard to find things on a small screen or did BigFish manage to port this genre into this platform with success?

I think BFG did an awesome job porting this to DS. The rooms are larger than one screen and you pan around looking for objects. The objects are hidden well but not impossible to see. Some are hidden and can only be seen using goggles (underwater) or UV light. Some objects you have to manipulate (e.g., flip the moon -- you have to use your stylus and the hand tool to literally flip it). Some scenes have those secret rooms (like in Madame Fate) for you to find objects in as well.

There are various minigames after each case that range from tile swap, jigsaw, spin/match (hard to explain that one but it's fun). There's also (minor) reference to Madame Fate, Prime Suspects and Felix makes a cameo. The feel of the game is very Prime Suspects (not to serious and humourous).

There is an online demo here: http://www.nintendo.com/mcf/ Just wait for it to load and then click on the DS. It will give you an idea of gameplay. To pan in the online demo, click on the screen and drag around.

I think they definitely have a winner here and can't wait for a sequel. I've tried some games ported from PC to DS and they were just awful (Myst on DS was awful). The developers on Millionheir did an outstanding job IMHO. Very pleased with it and worth the purchase of a DS and the game just to play!

Thanks misa! You make me wish I had the time to actually play a DS if I got one. My son has one, but I have never tried it.

You should borrow his DS! I will say that my right shoulder & arm hurts this morning from playing Millionheir.

I think I'm very close to the end, slowed down a little playing the other games. I have a lot of trouble finding the objects in some HOGs on PC and was worried about doing it on the small screen of DS. And now I think there is nothing to worry about. The graphics are beautiful and very clear, which makes it easier to see. There are many tricks used to hide the objects but also plenty of tools and generous hints to find them. I would say this HOG is different in general from the HOGs on PC and Big Fish did a great job introducing this genre into DS.

Springchicken, have you gotten to this part yet? (don't worry, not a plot spoiler)



If so, what do you think?

misa, I haven't gotten to DNA yet, I'm at Jim Ferno, the firefighter. I'm curious now to get to this part. If you'd like, I could let you know when I get there.

I'm stuck now looking for the will. It seems nothing works here, even the hints. What am I supposed to do with the portrat?

For the portrait



After that, if you get stuck on the bird safe:

Dah! I thought I tried all tools...Thanks, misa.

No problem! I added another tip for after that if you get stuck.

Thank you, misa. I did the bird safe by different way: . I went through level 6 DNA, getting speedy, and I'm afraid there are more levels ahead.

Very interesting about the safe Springchicken!

Thanks Springchicken...I've been stuck there...thought I tried that but will go try again.
