It's also a fairly short game, at least in regard to finishing the main plot, but there are more than 140 puzzles, including some especially enjoyable sequential puzzles, and you still have plenty left to solve once the main plot is over. The story only takes four or five hours tops, and it is utterly ridiculous, as well as quite poorly scripted in places. But the midpoint twist, which completely changes the focus and setting of the game for a while, keeps things fresh. Lue Lisää Translate to suomi
The quality of its story and presentation might be questionable, but at the very least it offers players who like to rack their brains and test their puzzle-solving prowess plenty of tricky teasers to sink their teeth into. If you thoroughly enjoyed the puzzles in the Professor Layton games and the inclusion of decent plotlines and likable characters held no sway in your decision to purchase them, then you could do a lot worse than taking a look at James Noir’s Hollywood...

In conclusion, James Noir’s Hollywood Crimes on the 3DS is the perfect example of why gamers can be left frustrated that such a great idea was wasted due to the lack of attention in some of the major aspects of the title. A murder mystery game needs to have an exciting and immersive plot. Lue Lisää Translate to suomi

James Noir’s Hollywood Crimes is the latest interactive puzzle thriller game for the Nintendo 3DS. With the main character being yourself, the story follows you to 1960’s Hollywood where you get the chance to appear on TV show, The Incredible Puzzle Masters. As you progress through each of the six rounds, an old friend from the FBI tells you about various murders where at the crime scene the killer has left a puzzle. Lue Lisää Translate to suomi
With the new 3D features of the Nintendo 3DS, puzzle games take on a new life. Hollywood Crimes is the first example of this feature. As far as a puzzle game goes this game is great. What brings down my rating is the severely short story line and the lack of any replay value once the game is finished. One play through gets you most of the puzzles, and those you didn't play are probably a variant of the ones you did. Lue Lisää Translate to suomi
