Most helpful review Escape The Museum

  • Strangely addicting

    Rated - 3.5 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Mom and Dad found 'Escape the Museum' (ETM) strangely addicting once we discovered how to zoom (push/pull Wii remote while pulling the trigger), and we looked forward to making a bit of progress every evening. The 10-year-old thought it was OK a bit at a time. The problem-solving rooms gave a greater sense of satisfaction than those with a simple list of items to find.

    Mom liked ETM better than 'Ultimate I Spy', but Dad preferred the latter largely because its graphics were sharper and it allowed rotating the view in 3D, whereas ETM graphics sometimes seemed fuzzy or semi-transparent and allowed only zoom in/out and 2D up/down, left/right movements.

    We usually used the 'cheat' of asking for help to identify the approximate location of the last item in each room, and after a while we turned the sound off so that we didn't have to listen to the trite dialogues between rooms.

    Very grainy picture made the game unplayable. Got to the first scene of finding objects where we gave up and turned off. Have played much better.
