Review based on completed game in “Normal” mode.
Let’s get something out of the way right from the start: this is a Solitaire game, not a Crime Solving game: the crime solving is the game’s context, just like other games use other settings; you don’t need to know how to play golf to play Fairway Solitaire.

Review based on completed game in “Normal” mode.
Let’s get something out of the way right from the start: this is a Solitaire game, not a Crime Solving game: the crime solving is the game’s context, just like other games use other settings; you don’t need to know how to play golf to play Fairway Solitaire.
The game has so many features that I strongly advise you to take 5-10 minutes to read BFG’s “blog walkthrough” BEFORE even downloading the demo/game, especially sections 5 to 7; it is a fantastic explanation of the game’s features/screens, better than the inline help of the game... it is NOT a solution to the “levels”.
CRIME SOLITAIRE is of the 1-up/down type with the usual obstacle of having certain cards “blocked” until you find the required “key” (which, by the way, is never visible). There is NO time limit in any portion of the game.
The crime solving content is possibly best summarized as:
- The objective is for you to solve 52 cases
- You follow multiple leads (“game boards”) for each case; the lead/location is simply used as the wallpaper for that scene... there’s nothing bloody or gory about them
- Each case has 2 to 6 suspects
- Each suspect will be assigned 1 clue (e.g. “the suspect likes to take photographs”)
- You need to obtain evidence to eliminate each suspect (e.g. “the suspect does not own a camera”)
- You need to earn enough money to buy an arrest warrant ($400 to $5000) and only have 1 suspect left to solve the case
Unfortunately, the trial doesn’t equip you with all the “tools” because you’ll earn them as you progress in rank and that won’t be completed within 60 minutes of play; that’s a shame because you don’t get the full “impression”. The walkthrough document describes them if you're curious.
For those worried about this being possibly a short game, each “lead” counts as 1 day in your career. The lead might provide more leads (boards), clues, evidence; if you don’t clear all cards of the board, you can skip to the next lead or replay the same board (but the cards will be different) to clear all cards. It took me a total of 491 leads to solve the 52 crimes; each level would generally take me 2 to 5 attempts to clear, so I’ve played MORE than 1000 boards to finish the game, and I enjoyed every minute of it.
Lastly, I played the whole game using Windows 10 without any problem. Show less

There is no time limit on the levels so it is very relaxing. Show less

The jazz music that plays in the background is so fun. This graphics are nice and the game is kind of quirky--especially the "crimes" that the characters commit--wearing a too-tall hat at the movies, for example--in this almost crime-free town.
Really fun. Show less

Relaxing solitaire game with only a few hands needing the use of powerups. There are 50 cases to solve and multiple locations per case, thus providing hours of gameplay. Newspaper articles of these "off the wall" cases are interesting to read. Logic is used to eliminate the suspects and issue an arrest warrant. Earning all the awards is a daunting task, especially the ones requiring speed.
I recommend this game!

I think I have found my new 'fairway'. The aforementioned game is my benchmark for this style of game. Whilst it is not quite as quirky (commentary wise) as this game it did hold my interest owing to the silliness of it all the 'crimes' were plain ridicules but that is part of the 'charm' for me.
Even though the game stated that it had three different levels of difficulty I was not able to see this as I played on the hardest setting and managed to get perfect first time on most and just took me two or three attempts on others, so I couldn't understand the differences in the difficulty levels (admittedly I didn't try the others), having said that if this is just a 'random' card game then surely they should not really be differing skill levels then does that mean that it is not a truly random game?
There is a 'wild card' feature in the 'wheel of misfortune' which can produce a positive or negative result.
You gain promotions the further on the game you play and these then reward you with features such as 'undo' (there is probably more the further you go but I am basing this review on the hour free trial).
An addition to this (from Fairway), is that you can get 'combo bonuses' not only from linking several cards together but also for things like matching cards quickly and getting a 'house' on one turn (not actually achieved this yet so don't know what the bonus is for this), but it keeps your interest on what could possibly be a 'bog-standard' solitaire game.
If you like this type of game it is well worth the hour trial, but are you really going to let the 'baddies' get away after this? Show less
I recommend this game!
