In my latest DS game review, I’m looking at a hidden object game with some interesting twists – Millionheir.
The aim of the game is to solve the mystery of the missing millionaire, discovering the heir to his fortune and the identity of the villain along the way.
You can play the game in three modes within the single player option – rookie, detective and gumshoe (which has to be unlocked by playing the game). Each mode has a different time limit and number of hints available. There is also a multiplayer option, which can be played in hot-seat mode or wireless communication, though I’ve not tried this.
You progress through the game by finding hidden objects in various settings, meeting a number of characters along the way. To add interest in the hidden object rounds, there are additional tools to use such as an x-ray device and underwater goggles. It’s sometimes necessary to interact with objects too e.g. you may be asked to find a lemon slice, but in fact you have to find a whole lemon and ‘slice’ it with the stylus.
In addition to the hidden object rounds, there are spot the difference pictures, jigsaw puzzles, a DNA game and a fingerprinting activity, which offer some variety.
What I really like about this game is that you can play it over and over again, with different outcomes, so you never know who the heir and villain will be.
Once you have solved the main game, you can also play the Treasure Hunt game, in addition to replaying the whole game on a different level.
Millionheir is definitely a game I’d recommend.
