Wow! Wow! Wow!
Absolutely fell in love with this game from the get go. My personal preference is not of the hog genre and more of the puzzle and adventure and this fits the bill enormously. Played the trail, bought it and five and a half hours later - some housework actually got done! Could not put it down. Love the detective angle, the murder scene and the large showy house you get to roam around in. In adventure games I tend to get lost or forget what I am supposed to be doing - not in this game - it kept me right on track and did not give me so many open scenes at one go. Not much tooing and froing. Absolute gem!

Good Game
Solid game. There is murder afoot and you keep finding the bodies! Puzzles are moderately difficult to solve. Graphics are excellent, as is the voice acting. Two modes of play with casual and more advanced. More adventure than HO scenes and it definitely kept me guessing! Misclick penalty of screen going foggy. The storyline isn't the best in that it was confusing at times and didn't make sense in some areas. Linear gameplay. Read a review stating that this had pieces of an object to find. Yes and no, sometimes it was a piece but mostly it was items to make a whole such as a gas can and a lighter to make a portable stovetop. The map and journal were very handy! I wish I'd had them for the latest Ravenhearst installment. ;) I am a fairly quick player and yet it still took me a little over four hours to complete. I didn't really care for the amount of running around I had to do, but luckily it was mostly within a section of the building/exterior. This reminded me of some CE's and I almost wish for the bonus chapter to see what happened next! LOL.

very good game
graphics are marvellous!sound effects are good,music is pleasant but no voices acting:you can have to choose the answer to question which are asked by other caracters
puzzles are of good challenging level
the length is good(i'm not speediest gamer but average one:5 hours for the whole game)
the story is :
you are a doctor called to help in a mutain hotel,so ,as you expect,things are not simple!storm,fallen briges ,etc,and ....murders!you have to collect clues everywhere in the hotel and aroud,to find the last word of story(i'm not sure to have understood the end.....)
a good change from devils and ghosts,just dark stories of the past!
i have played the whole game yet for i bought it to the devslast week

CE quality for an SE price!
I played the trial and, based on that, I love this game! The graphics are good as are the voice-overs and the hints are very helpful and re-fills plenty fast for me. The objects aren't too difficult to find, either. As many have said, this game is better than some of the CEs offered and I agree. Another plus for me is it doesn't appear to have any occult themes. I will probably wait until next month and get it with a coupon code from the sale we just had but this game is definitely on my "to buy" list. I suggest you at least try it. I give it 5 (*) and a :thumbup:

It's A Game - It Doesn't Have To Make Sense
While "Mountain Crime" has great visuals and an interesting concept, the holes in the story line were distracting even to my 9 year old. He likes to help with the Hidden Object screens. Both of us were disappointed in these when they turned out to be the kind where you find the fragments of objects by their shapes instead of searching for objects by names. This might be good for players who are tired of looking for the same objects in junk piles in every game, but if you don't like finding broken bits, it's a bore. The main character, a doctor, begins by forgetting to take his medical bag when he hears a cry of pain. The victim is then left lying on the floor.
Everything, from minigames to locks, is missing parts, and apparently they must be solved in order. I like being able to leave one path or area to solve others, and to find pieces in different areas and then later to come back, but this game seems to be mostly linear.
All in all, this might present a welcome challenge to a super expert game player, but I found the story mistakes annoying, the Hidden Bits, instead of hidden objects, disappointing, and the inability to play minigames when found, instead of in a certain order, frustrating.

Put on your Sherlock Holmes Hat solve murders
This game Great Graphics, Great voice overs, interesting mystery, easily understood journal.
I expect this game company will be doing more great games and hope they stick with adventure mystery games. Try this game if you like mystery games of "who done it" i don't think you will be disappointed.
The game length is long 5 hours for me. I rather find circle hidden objects if I have to play hidden object games.
I am so Bored with the random list after 7 years of membership I have bought nearly them all. Time for a change and glad to see the Game designers agreed. I love the interactive adventure games.
One small flaw I would have liked less Hidden objects but that is just because I am so burned out with normal lists of hidden objects. However the way this is done, fast refill for hint, made it less of a bore. I am an adventure gamer at heart. I did not like the mini games too much of same, however fast skip so it was no problem.

Payback can be nasty !
The developers have sucessfully managed to devise a rather machiavelic plot full of suspense and unexpected twists, which holds the road quite well and thickens as it slowly unfolds. The introduction is neither particularly original nor outstanding, but what seems to start off as a routine job rapidly turns into a surprising investigation. Requital is a very good adventure that kept me glued to my comp for a good 6.5 hours non-stop. More than just a game for rainy days, it has a lot to offer. The artwork is varied and very pleasant to the look, though not overly sumptuous, with quite a few scenes to explore and re-explore. The voice-overs are not bad at all in the form of comments or interactive dialogs, and always come up at the right time. The same applies to the cutscenes. So does the incidental music which is played at certain moments only, and never lasts very long. Here the music is used to emphasize. Although there's a fair amount of bouncing from here to there, that's never a hassle thanks to three aids: a map giving your current location and where you have to perform some action, the detailed objectives and the Hint System that not only helps you find hidden items but also shows you where to go next if you've lost your way. All HOS's are fairly neat, only a few items are a bit difficult to find, and they are all given as drawings (not silhouettes) of what they look like, in sets of circular boxes. You will have plenty of useful items to look for and no less actions to perform; none are so far-fetched as to get you desperately stuck; in fact they are all moderately difficult. Puzzles and minigames are plentiful too, all of them good fun, highly solvable, except three that are a bit tricky, and with a few innovations. The only criticisms I could make would bear on the replayability factor since half the enjoyment lies in not knowing "who dun it and why", the playtime which I found a bit too short and the level of diffficulty which was somewhat low for me. Yet I enjoyed Requital very much and I do hope you will share the pleasure I had playing it. It's a 4.5 star rating from me.

Better than many CE's.
Loved the game. Great graphics, voice overs and pleasant music just playing in the background. For a nice change I liked the hidden objects in circles thingie (not sure what its technically called). Took me about 8 hours to play, just taking my time.
I'm hoping there will be a sequel as ending was a bit of a surprise and left it wide open for a good sequel.

Mountain Crime: Requital
I played the demo on this game and had to buy it! For once I did like the HOG's where you have to find parts instead of objects. The puzzles were quite challenging and the game play was excellent. The pace of the game is good and you do have to think where to go and what to do next. Best game from BF in a while.

Great exciting game.
I really enjoyed this game. As a matter of fact, I spent the better part of the day playing it, and didn't stop until I completed it.
Sound and visual was very good. The story had good continuity and was relatively common sense where to go next. I don't usually complete my games in one day, but this was so engaging I had to finish it. Great game!
