[Detective Grimoire]

Addictive

A magnificently large game deserves a magnificently large review, so that's what I'll do. (PS: How do you pronounce Grimoire?)

Concept:
Just like they said, it's a lot like those point and click games which I still see every now and then. To be honest I've never enjoyed those games at all. But this is an exception. It has actually made the point and click games exiting by adding a lot more than just randomly clicking your way until you find the only way to progress. This requires strategy, and let's you go in the direction you want.

Talking to people is even better, they must have put a lot of work into the script because it interests me every time. You'll have laughs, gasps, and suspense.

They've added so many different pieces to the concept, as well as pointing and clicking, sometimes you'll get to interrogate suspects by controlling Grimoire's eyes with the mouse. Also, you get a menu for clues, profiles, notes, and a map. Making the concept one of the games best features.

Sound:
Most of the game's speech is in text but you here a sigh or a laugh out of whoever is talking. And that little bit of voice acting isn't awesome really. But it doesn't matter because most of your attention will be on the well made script.

The music is great and really makes the whole experience multiple times better.

Graphics:
This IS the game's highlight. It is really good. The characters look so believable sometimes. The backgrounds are even better. With incredible detail, Fairground just looks so life like.

Storyline:
Do I even need to say it? IT'S AWSOME!

Detective Grimoire is the best flash game I have ever seen. Really. This is a masterpiece that can't be missed. The only setbacks were to small to even matter. This is what you call a game that succeeds on every conceivable level.

eh? start over...AGAIN

really good, the only problem is that starting over again and again endeed adds more gameplay, but I have absolutly no fun doing all the questions over again. So you've added hours of boring gameplay. Good job!

the anger overthrew and enjoyment

OMG! Great idea, great phisics and graphics, great level design, terrible, TERRIBLE way of restarting. When I loose, I have to wait 4 seconds for the ball to just sit there doing nothing, then I have to wait for the level select screen and click to restart the level EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! I absolutly hate this game for that one reason!n Sorry but it seeems as if you actually tried to frustrate me, I would have just kept the cursor in one place for whrn I loose and save a bit of time, but the select bar MOVES EVERY TIME!!!!! It makes me so mad! Just fix that part and others will give you the mercy I did not.

thumbs not or nor down

Well, a bit of sound would help.

Bulortio responds:

?? there is sound

[Super Bug]

needs a bit of work

It was ok, but the control was to sensitive to really be playable. Sorry, make a sequel with better controls, it had a great idea!

[Dance Of Distraction]

Great idea!

My gosh, how come no one has thought of this before???? I sure hope the next main DDR game has a distraction mode!

BurningBunnies responds:

You hope the next DDR has a mode that annoys you? Sure, why not! :D

[Stick adventures game]

Good but too short

Graphics were poor but who cares, the level design was great and the thick glitches only helped me win. So the bugs were a good thing here. However...only two levels and waiting for a next part of the game is outrageous. If I were to make any game devided in several parts, I would make the parts a bit longer.

[INVADER]

Sweet!

This game is great, but not that original. There are tons of other games under this genre, but this one does it just right.
