Been waiting on this one
I loved the first game and couldn't wait for this one to come out. The graphics are nice and I especially love the 'downhome' feel of this game. Such a nice change of pace from the 'horror' type games that seem to be coming out of the woodwork in droves. Nice, relaxing game.
I did, however, have the same problem that rosekaufmann mentioned about the one puzzle game; couldn't pick stuff up and move it around freely. Thankfully, though, it's a game you can eventually skip, so there was no problem there. Really enjoying this one.

could not stop playing
I thought this was 100 times better then the first one. I was bored with the first one as it was not very challenging. This one is way more challenging. It doesn't have so much talking as the first one which was great.

Excited to see Jessica again!
I loved the first one so much, I was really bummed thinking no other ones were ever going to be made. I was so excited to see this on Thanksgiving! What a treat! Wish there were 5 stories instead of three, but overall, so much fun!

Solving murder mysteries has never been so fun!
Love to find out who dun it with Jessica and the Sherriff. Just when you think you know who did it, they have an alibi and you must continue on! I hope we will see more of these games in the future as I love to try to solve the mystery before she does!

Mediocre Game!
I was a huge fan of Murder She Wrote years ago when Television had its golden era of great crime drama. I also enjoyed the first installment when it came out at BFG. This one however did not thrill me and sadly I found the game mechanics a bit rudimentary. A straighforward IHOG with graphics that are sharp but a bit dated. The artwork was good as were the voice-overs. The hint system was insufficient; you can collect typewriter keys to get extra hints. There is alot of needless backtracking for one inventory item and the HO scenes were junk-piled with no interaction. The only feature >I found compelling was the storyline and perhaps if I had a club award or game credit on hand, I may consider buying this. I suppose if you are a huge fan of Jessica Flethcher and her mysteries, this may appeal to you but the game does lack a fun factor to it.

Hard to follow; not nearly as good as the original Murder She Wrote.
I enjoyed the first Murder She Wrote so much I only played about 30 min of the trial time on this 2nd one; my mistake. Purchased the game. After the first hour I went looking for the walkthrough. I spent as much time on the walkthrough as playing the game. Struggled through it once. That's enough for me.

Been waiting for this one!
When I finally saw this game I was thrilled and I bought it within 5 days. I was a little dissapointed that they didnt include more cases to solve. And that one of them reminded me on one of the cases in the last game. But overall I like the changes that they did on the game and like the mysteries as well. I like how even the main character looks a lot younger in this game than in the other one.

A fun relaxing game for Murder She Wrote fans
I love Murder She Wrote and this game is pretty true to the show, except for Michael Hegarty being reinvented as a young man.
This is obviously not a new game, but both Murder She Wrote games are fun in a relaxed way. Puzzles and HOS are fun. For an SE it is a decent length. Don't expect high technology or graphics, but expect the tone of the show and you won't be disappointed.

Welcome Back Mrs. Fletcher!
I played the first installment, and this one is better. This is the type of game you play on a rainy day, you don't have to play it all at once. the HO's are pretty easy but the mini games are not. This game reminds much of the TV show, not hard to watch, sometimes cheesy, but you gotta love Jessica.

Never Knew
I use to like the show as a kid and then got bored of it and I thought the game would be boring. Was I wrong. That was a very good game and would add it to my rainy day list. Music got a little tedious. Come on game maker make it more like the movies. Give us a big music list to listen to during the game. Adds more atmosphere to the story.
