Summary: Too awful for Words!
Comment: I had high hopes for this game, once again seeing David Suchet as Poirot; I was also excited about
seeing the new footage of him in this role. This was the only highlight, the game was boring, far
to long at around two hours and the games you played had no bearing on solving the case or gave you
any hints to help you solve the case.

The games did have instructions with them but
these were displayed once the game had started, so by the time you have read the instructions to the
game your time is up and you score 0.

There were notable differences between the
standard of play for player one and player two. For example Player one had the harder questions
throughout the game where player two had the easier ones.

Once you choose your suspect
the DVD only shows these two characters in the final sum up and not the usual round up Poirot is
well known for. The scenes are chopped to suit who you have chosen and there is no real explanation
as to why they commited the crime. I have read the book so knew who the murderer was, I have only
played this game once as once is enough until I can get over the two hours; and I really hope the
murderers alter otherwise you can only play the game once, unless you do not guess correctly? Then
you could play again with the hope in guessing the murderer correctly. Either way I felt let down
by the end of the game and was left wanting so much more, a proper explanation of the events and a
proper explanation of why that person committed the murder. If you have not read the book then you
may enjoy it, but if you have read the book then I would not bother as you will be left feeling
angered at how poorly the story was betrayed.

*HIGHLIGHT* David Suchet as Poirot once
more, a nice little filler until he returns to the small screen once again.

Summary: Conned
Comment: If you have seen this episode of Poirot then it does not take too long before you remember
whodunnit. After that it is simply a case of trying to get the highest score on the puzzles so that
you can have the first guess and get it right. A waste of 2.5 hours IMHO.

Summary: No point getting if you have seen the film - the murderer is the same.
Comment: Would have been more fun if we hadn't seen the film, as we knew who the culprit was.
Also, the
information on the back is misleading as it sounds as if you could play several times. You could do
so, but the puzzles and the conclusion is the same each time!

Summary: After The Funeral Murder mystery
Comment: An excellent, well presented, fun, interractive dvd that the whole family will enjoy....once. The
cover blurb is a little misleading as it states .."a different game every time" but the solution
seems to always be the same. So once you have completed it, there is little point in playing it
again. However, that said, it is beautifully photographed, the cut scenes are crisp and interesting,
and the puzzles deceptively well thought out. On the whole, worth 5 stars, and worth the money.
