Nintendo DS MillionHeir

I was given the new MillionHeir game at the weekend, and I'm bored with it already. Has anyone else tried it, and if so, what do you think of it?

Oh I was going to download that this week, is it not very good then?

oh noooo i just ordered this, is it pants? i thought perhaps it might be like professor layton and the curious village, is it not?
how come you were given it? it only came out on the 6th! *jelaous*

Well, I wouldn't want to put anyone off, but I thought it would be like Professor Layton too, and it isn't. It does ask you to solve a mystery, and it introduces a host of 'characters' with odd names, but the game consists mostly of searching out objects, which is more frustrating than challenging. It requires no skill or thought - you just look at the picture and search until to locate them. At the end of each long section of searching, you're given a game to complete, but those I've been offered up to now have been very simple, mostly little easy jigsaws. Nothing has put any 'strain on the brain' whatsoever. It's not in the same league as Professor Layton - I liked that. I'm hoping it will become more challenging as it progresses, but I have my doubts.

If you get it, please let me know what you think. Maybe it's just me!

EmEd, my husband was passing the shop very early on that day, so he took the opportunity to get it for me.

aww how lovely of him ♥

i know exactly what you mean. i'm a little less excited that it arrived this morning now! :(

*harumph*

i didn't put professor layton down for a week until I completed it, i absolutely loved it. is there anything else out there already that's similar and i've missed?

[naomi24]

EmEd, Yes, I was a bit like that with Professor Layton. Compulsive wasn't it. How boring was I at Christmas?!! Still at least it kept me quiet! :o)

I don't know much about other games. I've not had my Nintendo for long, and apart from Prof. Layton and MillionHeir, I only have Braintraining. I'd be interested to know if you come across anything similar though.

Do let me know how you get on with MillionHeir. Good luck.

bitterly disappointed with it.
