Thankfully something has indeed transpired and it has turned out to be a very special game. Cubed3 explains exactly why Mystery Case Files: The Malgrave Incident should definitely be added to your shopping list. There are some series that all link together, with stories tying everything into one handy timeline so that players can come into a new entry with a great sense of familiarity.
However, in the case of seek-and-find titles, such as Mystery Stories , sometimes it is better to maintain a fresh element to each new edition due to the similar nature in the overall gameplay. Distancing itself from the DS game may well be a positive factor for The Malgrave Incident as well, since the portable edition, whilst decent, was quite lacklustre overall, whereas this Wii game is the pinnacle of hidden object-style affairs found on any Nintendo format so far.
Players take on the role of a detective from the Mystery Case Files Detective Agency enlisted by a old gentleman by the name of Winston Malgrave, a very British chap in nature, and curator of the island, who wishes to spend his extraordinary wealth on retrieving magically powerful dust that has been scattered around the intriguing and enigmatic Malgrave Island and locate his missing wife, Sarah.
During the investigation, though, some smart sleuthing starts to uncover a far deeper mystery that must be unravelled before departing from the peculiar isle that was once a bustling tourist hotspot thanks to stories of rejuvenating waters that remove signs of ageing from those who bathed in them.
Mystery Case Files: The Malgrave Incident is filled with brilliant British voice acting, as well as plenty of high quality cut-scenes that help drive the story along. The development team has truly excelled, taking full advantage of the Wii hardware to recreate Malgrave Island in the true form it was likely conceived on paper. This new Mystery Case Files is a true joy to play through thanks to its high aesthetic value, as well as its excellent core gameplay. Malgrave states are there to hinder progress.
What he is referring to, though, are basically the normal style of puzzles or conundrums included in the better quality seek-and-find adventures that have been released on the DS this generation and to a lesser degree on Wii, with Cate West likely the highest profile hidden object game on the home console scene. Other than the standard scenes where object need to be found, these extra puzzles range from ones where tiles of varying colours must be flipped to form paths between two corresponding shades, without letting any of the paths cross, to really devious ones where patterns must be figured out in terms of numerous objects on the screen, and even mathematical-based challenges.
There are also interactive areas within hidden object puzzles themselves, with players sometimes being asked to open items or pull on levers in order to create a physical change that allows for special objects to be discovered.
Other favourite aspects from the genre return in Mystery Case Files: The Malgrave Incident , with the inclusion of items being added to an inventory after a hidden object round has been completed, with these subsequently being used in inventive ways in order to help with progress further into the journey use a hacksaw to cut chains on a locked gate, a bug zapper to kill bees blocking the street, adding missing pieces to a key puzzle, and so on.
As for the hidden object puzzles themselves, there are normally twelve items to locate around a particular scene, with the player given the option to zoom out to view the full extent of the area in order to scour for items, or zoom in to two different levels, getting really up-close-and-personal, using the Wii Remote to pan around simply by moving the controller around so that when the on-screen pointer is dragged towards the edge of the screen the viewpoint moves.
There are times when an object you want to click on is at the corner of the screen, but when moving the cursor across it causes the scene to pan slightly and obscure said item due to the multi-layered nature of hidden object scenes. There are definitely some craftily hidden items that prove to be a welcomed added level of challenge.
