Topic: Aha I found it initial impressions

I usually wait for reviews to come out before buying a game and I wish I did this time...

This game is a mess.. the graphics are terrible which makes finding hidden objects nearly impossible and very frustrating-- the items often don't look like you would expect them to look... and then I find myself just clicking on everything (losing 5 seconds for every wrong answer)... then randomly hitting on one of the items I was suppose to find and still not understanding how I was suppose to find that item based on the poor graphical representation of the item.
Add to that, the fact that there are a lot of items/words that are Japanese that I have no clue what they are-- and it all boils down to one frustrating experience.

Perhaps it would get a little better if I spend enough time to learn the poor graphical design of each object, but I don't think I'll have the patience... I was hoping this game would be good for my 5 year, but if it frustrates me, he's not going to enjoy it.

Stay away from this game is the bottom line. I hope this will save somebody $5.

Thanks, it already did look worse than Escape Game, but this convinces me to stay away from it.

Lol, that's a big issue. If you don't know what you're looking for then it can get quite a mess.

That's interesting -- it's not the first console hidden-object game where i've heard the same complaint (there were a couple released for XBLA with similar complaints). I personally enjoy find-it games, but prefer them by far on the DS.

That's a shame. Thought this had potential. And failing to get all the Japanese text localized is not good in this scenario...
