This is a classic film noir private eye story, done with graphic novel-style illustrations. The music helps set the scene but doesn't dominate. There are hidden object scenes and puzzles, but it has a lot of adventure elements, too, and a cohesive story.

Most of the puzzles are not terribly difficult, but at least one took me many tries to get trhough (still was fun, though!). The story had a tidy and satisfying ending.
I just finished playing the second in the series, Deadly Diamond, and it was every bit as good as this one, and a stand-alone story, so you don't have to play them in order.
Very fun game and I highly recommend it! Show less

I played this game on my iPad and am delighted I did. While there are HOGs, I'm much more excited about the other extremely fun and creative puzzles. Everything fits together nicely. The HOGs and puzzles aren't just there to occupy time, they are an integral part of the story.

The ambience is perfect: if it were a movie it would be in Black and White. The voice over actor who plays Nick Chase is PERFECT! He's hardboiled and straight to the point.
Nick Chase was very early on in my adventure game history and it helped get me hooked. It is near and dear. I look forward to more and I hope that this will come out in Mac format. I'll buy it a second time so I can see it on the big screen.
BTW, I played the sequel first and the order doesn't matter. Show less

While I have played quite a few "adventure" games, including the newer Nick Chase game, which became my favorite, and led me to this one, which is the best I've played yet. I love the noirish feel of the game; I love the variety of the challenges; I love Nick narrating; and I love the look and sound of the game. I only wish I could play a new "chapter" of it every day.
I recommend this game!

I Love hidden object games that make it fun to find the items. I do not like the games that just have lists. I find them very boring.

I love this game.... It has a fantastic story line and being narrated by Nick just makes it that much better. The music is perfect for this story. The puzzles are really fun also. I have played it three times just because it is fun to relax to. I am looking for part two now. I hope they were smart and kept everything the same. :D
I recommend this game!

I was so delighted with the Nick Chase games. They were excellent and laden with good, challenging puzzles. The storyline was great and it felt like I was actually inside the comic book...it just pulled me right in. The graphics, colors, characters, plot were all perfect for the comic book style detective story. The amazing voice of Nick Chase was beyond any other I have ever heard in a game. It was so typically noir-ish for a crime story (and me being an old lady, found it kind of sexy, lol !). The hint system was clever; each hint was a bullet hidden in a scene and were reloaded into the revolver in order to use the hint, there were 5. Easy to find.
The other Nick game, "The Deadly Diamond" was also excellent. I thought the ending was better, not as abrupt as in "The Detective Story". Both games were short but more than made up for it in entertainment value! I highly recommend these games, wish there were more than just two! Show less

The moment I saw this, I knew it was something I'd enjoy. I love the theme and how the hints were done in this game.
I love how the puzzles made sense with what I needed to do in the story.
Can't wait to play the sequel - it's on my list!

I love the storyline and comic book art that goes along with it. The puzzles weren't too challenging. I like the way the hints are shown. It was a fun game, but not the best I've ever played

this is a great game - loved the cartoon style. the puzzles were interesting and new to me.
liked that there was a voiceover - although i read the script it was good to hear a voice.
the car track puzzle took me a while to work out but it was fun and worth working it out.

i liked that there wasn't any instructions on the puzzles - you had to work it out. liked you could collect "bullets" to give you hints (very nice touch).
overall great game. Got silver badge first run through but got Gold badge 2nd play
try before you buy - happy gaming :) Show less
