I am a huge fan of the other final cut games so I was hoping this would be the same high quality game as the first three. I was definitely right. Not as many cut scenes in this one which was partially disappointing as they really add to the story line but it also meant you could work through the game sooner.

I am a huge fan of the other final cut games so I was hoping this would be the same high quality game as the first three. I was definitely right. Not as many cut scenes in this one which was partially disappointing as they really add to the story line but it also meant you could work through the game sooner. Do enjoy having the option to play match 3 instead of HO scenes, had to use it a couple times because I got so confused. Glad it was not just regular HO scenes but ones where you have to find multiples of the same object or were given clues/riddles and had to figure them out. Overall great game. Show less

I recommend this game!

A very enjoyable, who-dunnit mystery. I thoroughly enjoyed this game.
***Well-paced STORY: You keep finding out new nuggets of information at regular intervals, so the story keeps moving forwards: it just got more and more interesting. Various people starred in a previous version of this “cursed” movie and died off one by one. It is being re-made now and the curse is back!
***Clear GRAPHICS. I loved the Art Deco style everywhere I went: at Silverwood Studios, a Director’s swanky house, and at someone’s place who is a movie memorabilia fan.
***The CHARACTERS are there in the beginning to help set the theme, and for you to establish who’s who. After that, it’s more or less you on your own, meeting other characters here and there.
***Quite a lot of HOPS and a lot of nice looking ones too. I like this style they do; step one being where you start off finding 5 of this and 5 of that, then step 2 are the word list types. The PUZZLES were a range of all types and with varying difficulty, I skipped quite a few.
***The MUSIC was very nice and suited the theme.
***The HINT will show you what to use and where IF you are already standing at the right spot. Sometimes it’ll lead you somewhere, sometimes it won’t. Often you might get a,”nothing here” type comment.

Great Daily Deal! This is the first of the “Final Cut” series that I’ve played. I’m looking forwards to playing the latest release, “Final Cut: Fade to Black” soon! Show less

I recommend this game!

Graphics and sound/ music was also great plus puzzles were fun too do.

Good Work Big Fish:)

It might be time to give up this deadly script, how many actors must die to convince the producers? True Escapades has returned to production once again, unfortunately, each time production resumes, someone ends up dead! Brian Garcia is the latest victim of this movie screen curse, when a seemingly innocent gun prop was a bit too realistic, and was loaded with real bullets! Question is, did Ruben know the bullets weren't fake? Someone want's this production scrapped pretty badly, a ransom note has been found with an ultimatum, bring the original film to studio 6's rooftop or Ruben and Brian's wife will die! Just what is so important about this old film and why are people associated with the film dying?

Some of the inventory items have plus sign indicators,which require you to interact with the item before using, and they have equipped us with an old school slide projector viewer. Whenever the viewer icon begins to shake, that's an indication that you can put any slide that you have come across into the viewer and use the viewer in that same scene in the form of spot the difference, with a difference! There is a slider button at the top which you slide to the right and left of the current scene, and click on any item that is different than the original scene. (okay, that's kinda cool) There are 40 collectible film strips in the Collectors Edition but not this edition, (one in each scene, and they are well blended into the background, so kudos on that as well).

The Hidden Object Scenes were a bit too scarce in my opinion, and a tad bit mundane, first you find 5 musical notes which will unlock that window to expose a key which is used to open up the next window with list finds, then you find 5 stars to unlock the next window which exposes a knife which unlocks the next list find. The mini games were okay, but way too easy, however I would rather they be easy than frustratingly impossible. Most games were tiles that you swap to create a complete picture, or use arrows to roll a ball toward the hole of a labyrinth maze and the easiest game was sliding tokens through a simplistic maze to place on top of symbols located along the maze so that the token and symbol create the same symbol shown on the diagram.

The Collectors Edition claims to have Morphing Objects, 40 hidden Film Strips (what happened to the clapboards?) Match 3 games, 18 replayable HOS and 17 replayable Puzzles, 19 Achievements, a Souvenir Room (only available in full version) Movies, Music, Making of (only available in full version) Snap Shots and Wallpapers, Pictures, a built in Strategy Guide and a Bonus Chapter. This game will surely delight diehard Final Cut fans, but I personally wasn't over the top thrilled, mostly because of the story, but the dialog was poor at times and the acting wasn't that great either. Enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

This was a good adventure game, with an engaging storyline. It had an innovative repeating puzzle type based on the retro Viewmaster toy. I got a little confused by the characters at times. The scenes were interesting and the puzzles varied. The good news is that there weren't too many cutscenes. It would have been 5 stars from me except that a glitch meant that I had to restart the game again ...Show more

To help her(you) on your quest, you’ve got a map and recurring slide shows to keep you on track. If all else fails, hint works fine. A very good 5 chaptor long game which I warmly recommend.

The artwork and music is as wonderful as always. All Eipix games that I've played have the benefit of looking and sounding gorgeous. I adore Bauhaus and Art Deco, and they feature strongly throughout the games--an extra treat for those who like that style.

The level of challenge was perfect for me (I play on hardest level because I can still skip puzzles if I have to or want to). I don't use the Match-3 option (instead of playing the HO) because I love the HO parts... but I like that it's there.

The storyline was very good. It was starting to feel like a hard-boiled detective story but didn't quite commit. As a result, the story fell a bit flat, though it had a nice lead-up and ending.

I prefer the initial Wolf Studio trilogy... the first three games in this series were different but this was still fun to play even though the storyline is isolated. I am a fan of continuations. Show less

I recommend this game!

This type of crime/mystery adventure game is exactly the type I really enjoy. I liked the storyline with the mystery of why are people associated with the film being murdered and I'd like to discover the identity of the culprit. However, the game mechanics just aren't my cup of tea. Maybe it's just my mouse but I had a difficult time finding the exact clickable area on an item to be able to select it. Also, I really didn't care for the slide viewer and spot the difference games. The puzzles were very simple and easy as well.

I only managed to play this game for about 30 minutes before I quit playing so this isn't a review of the entire game. Perhaps if I stuck with it I would find more to like but with so many other games this one just wasn't interesting and fun enough to keep playing. Also, I had the music volume at the very end of the slider to mute it but I could still hear it playing softly in the background. In almost all games I prefer to completely mute the background music.

I did like the map feature and found it very useful. The character dialogue was good as well.

Overall, I think if you like the slide viewer game then this is probably a good way to spend a few hours. Show less

I recommend this game!
