Courageous Carol Solves Another Great Mystery!
Woo-hoo, we?re back in Norrkoping, Sweden with my favorite virtual friends of all time: Carol Reed, Jonas, Bigge, Stina! Having played all the games except one, I believe I?d recognize them anywhere (the developers and family and friends play the roles). They look like us, normal (!) with sometimes messy houses and studios where one can practically smell the linseed oil. The scenery and the buildings are actual photographs of Norrkoping, adding a dimension of reality to the entire game. So get on your hiking boots and be ready to search for the Blue Madonna ?
It?s a great Adventure game for newbies in that it includes a hint system, a painless way to save, a helpful walkthrough, and a terrific story line. I always learn lots of historical facts in all the games and enjoy the subtle humor. There are almost always ornamental box puzzles (sigh?one day I?ll do them perfectly without checking the WT), lots of clues to help Carol solve the murder, and a great map to orient oneself if, like me, you have a tendency to get lost.
I?m hoping for a new game because I have replayed all of the Carol Reed games several times and I?m ready for the next one!

More Please!
Love Carol Reed games and this is an excellent addition. They truly keep getting better and better, and really stand out in a sea of mediocre games. They make we want to travel to Sweden. I can't wait for the next one!
