Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders (DS)
Murder mystery time for DS owners as you work alongside the famous detective Hercule Poirot to solve a series of murders committed by a madman.
Based on the famous novel this is a fairly loyal adaptation of the text and murder mystery fans will appreciate the traditional approach to the text.
Point and click is very much the order of the day in this game and crime scene investigation comes into play as does talking to suspects etc.
There are some decent puzzles in the game and it does keep you thinking throughout.
The game missed something for me. Whether it was a lack of innovation or just too little action I am not sure.
Overall it is a nice thought-provoking game with decent presentation and graphics.
