I was shocked to see all the bad reviews. I am thoroughly enjoying this game. Some of the mini-games are new (I've never seen before). Story and graphics are great. Don't let the bad reviews lead you astray.. give it a chance.

I recommend this game!

This is my first review and I had to speak up because so many are dissing it. This was the best game I've played in ages, and I've bought a LOT of games. So different, so innovative.

I had A LOT of fun!!

Everything new at the Mysterys. It's a bit unusual without Elf and the previous detectives. But at the same time I find the innovations refreshing and the whole has more tension. also the change between the figures brings more variety.

Please disregard the review made from the second most contributing person of reviews on BF, you know who I'm talking about.That person gives full scores on challenge of the games it likes, and at the same time writes that the game is not challenging at all in the text. Often they are wrong.

No, this game is not up there with the game Mystery Trackers Raincliff's Phantoms, but it has interesting puzzles based on the demo, and it seems that Elephant is trying to get back in our good graces.

If the developers are reading this -please go back and look at:

Raincliff's Phantoms
The sound she couldn't make
Mystery of Another World
The Pantheon
The Soaring City

These were overwhelmingly great games that I will remember for ever. When you published those games - the world was in awe.

Amazing storylines and puzzles, length, unsuspected plots, huge amount of scenes to discover etc.

I understand that there is so much more money to be made by games with in-game purchases, but please, give your old, faithful customers and followers something to really sink our teeth into - that will be remembered for the rest of our lives. Show less

I recommend this game!

My oh my what a resistance to change. I don't understand all of the negative comments and low ratings. This MT was long overdue. Did I like Elf? Of course! Did I miss Elf in this game? Of course not! This game was exciting, imaginative, and current. It was time for some new blood. Why no one saw it coming in Fatal Lesson I don't know. Well done Elephant Games! I can't wait for next installment.

I recommend this game!

At the start of the game, I wondered what was going on, but it didn't last. A little segue would have been nice, like a visit to our 3 students at the academy. Perhaps a mini lecture from a pro about what landed them in hot water?

At the start of the game, I wondered what was going on, but it didn't last. A little segue would have been nice, like a visit to our 3 students at the academy. Perhaps a mini lecture from a pro about what landed them in hot water?

Past that, I played the whole game through in one sitting, something I hardly ever do, so yeah - it's shorter than other games - but I still had a wonderful time.

As for thrown together in haste, nah, I don't see it; but then I have Beta'd some of the games in the pipeline recently that really have been thrown together by other big name casual studios and there is no comparison. *BTW, a Beta or Survey game is more or less the demo with a survey and available commentary* No worries, there has been no sign of any releases yet, so a re-think is most likely in the works for the 2 I'm talking about.

THE GOOD
That being said, the 3 newbies in detention called "riding the desk in the control room" are a fun trio, each with his or her own attributes and set of challenges.

THE BAD
Meh, nothing I can get riled about. As for Elf, he's cute but certainly not a deal breaker.

THE UGLY
Um... what about the creepy headmaster? How'd he fall between the cracks? I thought he would be sorted out in the Bonus game but nope. He simply became a page lost to history.

I recommend the game, and do hope that we see more of these young people, with maybe some throwbacks to when "we" were in training. (Except for this one, as far as I remember the detective in each story is the game player)

AND, I can see that it's time I go retro and comb through my old MT editions to find ones I don't remember playing. Yeah, it happens. Show less

I recommend this game!

it starts when some students get sent back in time and can't get back to the present time. they discover other ones that are in the past, too. it happens at mistihills school. i played on the custom level. good hint system but i had to refer to the strategy guide a couple of times, though.

I recommend this game!

REVIEW BASED UPON THE ENTIRE GAME
5 Chapters Plus a Bonus Chapter – Strategy Guide: 25 pages (My Time: 6 Hours)

STORY: Join newbie agents, Ginger, Slate and Black as they tackle their first field job. After Slate receives a year-old distress signal from three students at Mistville College, the team is off to investigate. However, none of the students nor the headmaster of the school remember these students, yet evidence around the college suggests otherwise. This game will be wearin’ of the green as the player discovers what happened to these students while experiencing an out-of-control green wave of energy!

OPINION: Elephant Games has hit the restart button on this series with a new cast of characters. Gone is Elf, the whimsical sidekick canine helper agent which helped solve cases, but also, stole many a heart with his fashion sense and dawg-gone cuteness. Team effort is the new trend in HOPA games it appears. This game is no exception. The new cast of characters consist of three newbie detectives, fresh out of detective school. I do believe this makeover gives the game a fresh look, sprucing it up with this younger cast of characters. I believe this may be an attempt to appeal to the younger generation; however, I am not certain this type of game appeals to this generation.

This game does alternate characters throughout the game which provides a nice break within the game. I feel the pace is excellent aided by this change of characters. I feel the story is well-written as well. I believe this game can be played by all age levels. Nevertheless, I believe some will be unhappy to see that Elf is not in this game and has probably been retired from this series. For me, this game is an easy play and enjoyable. Nevertheless, I experienced two glitches in the bonus chapter. I had to restart the game to undo the freezing in two scenes. However, although irritating, the game could be played to the end. There are two collectibles, but there are very few to locate within this game. However, some of the collectibles were somewhat difficult to locate.

MECHANICS:

• Four (4) levels of play including a customized version.
• 9 achievements.
• Collect 24 puzzle pieces to play a circular jigsaw puzzle in the Secret Room at the end of game.
• Collect 12 items belonging to the 3 detectives.
• 5 wallpapers along with concept art, music, and video sequences.
• Expedition Room allows the player to return to the scenes to locate missing collectibles.
• Replay 14 HOP scenes and 12 mini-games.

BONUS CHAPTER: It is a sequel. When Ginger receives a call for help from Alana at the Mistville College, the happy trio set off to investigate. While the college was restructuring the college’s oldest building, a series of dungeons were found beneath the foundation. Now, the students from the main game are missing within these dungeons. I found this chapter a nice addition to the game. The story is more of the same from the main chapter. The pace is excellent with six (6) HOP scenes and eight (8) mini-games.

HOP SCENES: There are twenty (20) HOP scenes, fourteen (14) of which can be replayed at the end of the game. They are consistent with ones seen in other games. I found none especially creatively designed – no wow factor here. Most of the scenes are standard lists of items and silhouette. There is one with rebus clues, one which involves replacing items back into the proper location, and a scene in which items are searched according to their pattern or based on a small portion of the item. There are also a few mini-HOP scenes which entails searching for a small number (6 to 8) items.

MINI-GAMES: There are twenty (20) mini-games, twelve (12) of which can be replayed at the end of the game. Most of the puzzles have been seen in other games.

SPOILERS: HERE ARE SOME OF THE MINI-GAMES AFTER THE DEMO:

A. Ye Olde Block puzzle. Move blocks to create a path for a motorcycle to move from the left to the right end of a grid.
B. Rotating tiles puzzle. Using arrows, rotate all tiles on a round grid choosing the 4 correct tiles to create a picture in the center of the grid.
C. Maze puzzle. Rotate fours segments of a square maze so that a ball moves smoothly from the top right to the bottom left.
D. Logic puzzle/Card game. Play a card game to collect 3 lightning cards to win the game. Follow the rules to collect cards against your opponent.
E. Switch puzzle. Switch feathers on a bird to restore it as per a given diagram.
BONUS CHAPTER:
F. Maze puzzle. Create a path for a flame to move from the bottom left to the exit point by connecting flames within the squares of the grid.
G. Connection puzzle. Connect all dots to move through a maze.
H. Paint puzzle. Using blue and red paint – paint the correct spaces within a grid to create two different animals. Show less

I recommend this game!
