Originally bought this on the xbox and this version is slightly different, but the core is still the same.

I enjoy these games. Love the visual and the music of these. I just wish that they were a little more future forward thinking, trying to get these to run on a modern 4k screen isn't straight forward.

Setting my desktop resolution to 720p and then starting the game seems to do the trick, but annoying to have to do.

The sequel is is more of the same. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

You are sent on a series of 20 missions by Interpol to capture Dr. Chaos, an international criminal, who travels the world, with you always being one step behind.

GAMEPLAY: There is no adventure per se. Each mission is a series of HOS, with each ending in a different puzzle (examples: what doesn’t belong, find 10 similar items) to analyze the crime scenes and pinpoint where he’s headed next. The missions are tied together with scripts from headquarter advising where you are going next and what Dr. Chaos has been up to.

THE REST: Artwork is very detailed for each of the 14 places of interest in various countries, but HOG scenes are rather crowded and frequently of a similar color (ex: one HOS is largely gold items). Objects though are usually nicely sized. The graphics were clearer and crisper on a widescreen than they are on my 27” monitor – which seems to be the case with a lot of the HOGs. Music and other sound effects are apropos for the locations.

LENGTH: If you like a straight HOG with a few puzzles to keep it fresh, you will like this game. This is the third time I played and it took about 8 ½ hours. I felt it was a bit too long, but if you’re a straight HOG lover (which is how I tried to rate it, to be fair), it may be just right for you. You can break at any point in the mission and it will hold your place. Show less

I recommend this game!

I bought this game back in 08, but to discover that it was one of those games that moves around, this type of game may be good for some people, but for me, no only makes me dizzy but I actually hate them.

Beside that it had nice graphics, nice hidden object scenes and if you like to be moving inside a bubble this game is for you.

I recommend this game!

After having played Interpol 2, which I rather liked, I decided that I would probably like this game. However, despite the pleasing graphics and a good soundtrack together with sometimes difficult-to-find hidden objects I soon found myself becoming a little bored when each new level in the game was simply a different combination of previous scenes with the occasional new scene thrown in and ultimately this repetitiveness left me knowing the locations of most items, in turn making the game less challenging as a result.
After going over the same ground again and again I wanted nothing more than for the game to end instead of being prolonged in that way.

I would not say that this was a bad game, simply rather repetitive though a stronger background story could have helped but sadly it was rather weak.

I would recommend Interpol 2 over this first game though if you were to play it every other day then I guess it is an OK game. Show less

Keep in mind that this HO game is pretty dated, so it's not going to bowl you over with anything. You play a special agent tasked with rooting out Dr. Chaos, and to do so you will head around the world visiting locations to collect random objects until you are able to capture him. In short, if you like junkpiles, this is the game for you.

Keep in mind that this HO game is pretty dated, so it's not going to bowl you over with anything. You play a special agent tasked with rooting out Dr. Chaos, and to do so you will head around the world visiting locations to collect random objects until you are able to capture him. In short, if you like junkpiles, this is the game for you.

You unlock some new locations along the way, but you'll be visiting them over and over. The only real change between levels aside from that is the number of items you collect. That can be challenging in the later stages since you only get 4 hints per level, but considering you're collecting a lot of the same things you'll knock out half the list from memory alone.

There is a bonus stage after each chapter in which you'll collect random objects from the same screen or find ten differences between the same scene. Neither will be especially difficult. All in all, this will definitely kill some time, but it's not going to hold a candle to the adventure style games that are popular now. Show less

I don't recommend this game.

If you need something to help you turn off the computer and go to sleep, then try this game--otherwise don't waste your time and brain cells!

If you need something to help you turn off the computer and go to sleep, then try this game--otherwise don't waste your time and brain cells!

I found this game to be rather simplistic--the HO scenes were repetitive and often even asked for the same objects over and over! The storyline (I hate to call it a plot it was so flimsy) was laughable--maybe a young child might be entertained by it, but not an adult. It was actually quite childish and now that I think about it, perhaps it is supposed to be for younger players and that is why the adults are giving it so-so to bad reviews.
In summary: boring game, repetitive HO scenes, childish story line, silly mini games (find 4 differences in the 2 pictures) and even goofy communication with the 'office' or interpol computer!
Give this game a pass--unless you are looking for a game geared towards the younger generation or one you can play with a child. Show less

I don't recommend this game.
