Good but short
The story we've seen before. Agent dies under mysterious circumstances and partner must solve the mystery. I thought the graphics were quite good. The HOGs had a bit of a twist finding some by description and some by silhouette. Mini-games were few and far between and not that difficult. Voiceovers were OK, music got tiresome quickly. The only real problem I had was length. I finished 2 of 6 chapters in 45 minutes without hints. So even as an SE, don't think I'll buy.

Not fun hidden object game
If you want to spend ALL your time finding hidden objects then this is the game for you. I have to say this is one of the worst hidden games I have played. Way too much time spent on finding things. Not happy with this game at all...sorry, just my opinion.

I like this game!
For me, this game is great fun! I play these HOG games to escape and some are better at it than others. Strange Cases is one of the better ones and I'm not sure why there are negative reviews. I like the graphics and the story line In Strange Cases. Some hidden objects are pretty easy to find - and then I find I am stumped at some cleverly hidden items. The puzzles are also challenging. Try this game you might like it!

Lighthouse?????
I hated this game. Why on earth is there a lighthouse in the title. You never see it.

Not worth the price
I played the 1 hour free version. In order to get to the guide you needed to exit the game; time consuming and a royal pain. Graphics were not too good and hints were useless. I did not enjoy my free hour!

makes a change!
Was pleased with the lovely clear HOGs and good storyline. Bought it after 20 mins trial, so cannot comment about length of game, all I can say is it makes a change from dark forests and wicked lords/sisters/spirits!

good hidden object game
Yes we have seen the storyline before,but to say you hate the game is a bit on the ridiculous!....Certainly worth 6.99 for the collectors edition.

Good enjoyable game
I thought this game was quite a good middle of the road type game, not really easy and not diabolically challenging. The story line was not as far fetched as some these days but just a reasonable who dunnit type of story. An F.B.I. agent's partner has been found dead and the police suspect suicide but sinister dealings have been uncovered at the Ryde Corporation. Claire has to find the truth. The voice over dialogue is good and informative and not overly done. Most of the graphics are good and clear but with some darker areas and sections. Some of the puzzles do not contain adequate instructions and details are a bit vague. A couple needed reference to the strategy guide and some others were skipped but most were able to be solved without too much trouble. The hidden objects scenes were plentiful and were the main structure of the game. Cards needed to be found which in turn triggered a hidden object scene with either a standard list of things to find or items to be found in silhouette. Most were fairly simple to locate with just a few needing a hint. I did not agree with some of the negative reviews as I think it deserved better than that but then every one is entitled to their oppinion.

ok not great
Pretty much HO game. I'm getting into the adventure games now with more of just HO. Not bad just I got bored looking for HO. Not much of a story.
