The Mystery P.I.: The Vegas Heist game coming from PopCap and SpinTop Games runs on the same engine as their renowned Amazing Adventures series, but this time around, instead of traveling around the world looking for buried treasure, you’re taken within the lights and sounds of Las Vegas as you try to solve one of the city’s biggest crimes.
The thing is that a report broke out that 4 billion dollars in cash was stolen from a newly developed casino just before its grand opening day. With 16 hours left before they open their doors to the public (and of course, they need that money as well), you are commissioned as a private investigator to solve this crime and find the culprits behind it. With all your efforts, an award of 50 million is waiting as a reward. And with that kind of money, who in their right minds will need rest, right?
Anyway, the mechanics of Mystery P.I.: The Vegas Heist is just like any ordinary hidden object game where you’re tasked to find all the items listed on the left side of your screen within the set time limit. Just like I said earlier, it very much plays like the Amazing Adventures series, which means that you get bonus points for making successive fast finds too. And if you need hints, the hint button will slowly replenish, ready for your next use.
Aside from the item list, you have an option to find additional items too that will unlock certain features of the game. Finding a fingerprint in each of the sceneries and collecting them all will award you a bonus million for all your efforts. Keys and chips are also available, and when you find them all, you get to unlock the Unlimited Seek and Find Mode available from the main menu of the game.
Finishing each stage also means playing through a puzzle mini-game involving jigsaw puzzles, word finding and other innovative ones like those found in Amazing Adventures: Around the World. After playing the mini-games, you’re presented with a clue possibly leading to the heist. But how exactly is that clue related to the crime is not explained in the game, making you wonder why with all the things you’ve collected so far, it all comes down to a single seemingly-random item.
Anyway, it’s still good to know that Mystery P.I.: The Vegas Heist has great production values as expected from SpinTop Games. The story does not develop very much from the initial part of the game though, but this doesn’t mean that you won’t be having fun from the actual hidden object gameplay anyway so I guess it’s all alright. The mini-games are all fun and addictive, and the added Unlimited Play mode is very much great as well.
