Critic Reviews
Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders Review (PC)
Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders is a gentle game, constantly giving players information via observation, conversation or reasoning, without ever pressuring them to solve the puzzles and to move forward with the story. The oversized personality of Hercule Poirot is always at the center of the action, and his methodical approach makes for a very good fit with the mechanics of the adventure and mystery genre, although the pacing is too slow at times. Agatha Christie has created a very interesting narrative in The ABC Murders, but it's a shame that the video game stays as close to the book and the television adaptation as it does and fails to surprise gamers in any major way. The Microids title has the potential to spawn a long term Hercule Poirot mystery franchise, and I am eager to see what the company can deliver if it has access to more resources and is willing to innovate a little when it comes to the mechanics.
