Review for game: Art Detective
John Cromwell investigates high-profile theft for the FBI. He's on the trail of a shadowy figure known as "The Ghost"; an expert thief who steals fine paintings and replaces them with replicas so convincing that most people don't realize the originals have been burgled. But John Cromwell isn`t most people. Through his eyes you will investigate the crime scenes, separate the real from the counterfeits, and piece together the puzzle to unmask The Ghost.

I love this, wish it would go on forever. Beautiful classic art selections, mood-creating...What's not to love? A sequel would be wonderful! More art hidden object games, please!
I bought it thinking its another HO, but quite surprise to find it a find-a-difference game. Can be quite eye-strain to find the small things. Otherwise, its good. The only reason I give it 3 stars is because its not my type of game. Give it a try if you're into this kinda game.
This is a spot-the-differences game, not a HOG, with a few puzzles thrown in. Nice variety of paintings; details are large enough to clearly see the differences without ruining your eyes. Differences might be minor, such as shading or an extra leaf. Story is not well developed - you investigate paintings for possible fraud and you are notified of these assignments by e-mail. I found it easiest to wait until I finished the paintings I was already working on, before I opened the next e-mail and did not notice any problems with that approach. Those who are spot-the-differences fans might well rate the game higher. THE CONS: Very slow hint refills. Puzzles are nothing new ? but they have no instructions. [Actually, nothing has instructions.] You have to find out what the puzzle actually is by hit or miss.
I know I',m over 55 but this game is def not for me I do like other art games and drfferences but WOW where did this come from I only tried 5or6 mins of this game 'Diatribe' Sorry Ria
This is a game that is difficult to navigate through. Basically the main character is working with the FBI to solve a case where art thieves are stealing the original paintings and replacing them with counterfeit paintings. You have to click on your computer to open up your e-mail which will show you a painting of which you click on to spot the fake, or spot several differences between two almost identical paintings. The differences are very noticeable at first but they seem to get a little more difficult as you progress. There are mini games such as figuring out what 4 colors of chemicals to mix together by putting different color combinations on a sheet of paper. Once you have all 4 colors on the paper a checkmark will indicate the correct color in the correct spot, a question mark will indicate the correct color but wrong spot and of course an x indicates that color is not used. I really got annoyed by the lady saying you have an e-mail (which sounded like you have emanuelle) over and over. I think the game would have been more fun if the computer wasn't involved in the game.
Gee, I can't believe that no one has written a review on this game. I played it probably one year ago. If you like finding differences, GIVE IT A TRY..... It is a average challenge to find the differences. I throughly enjoyed this game. Wish there were more like it.
