We’ve seen movie titles and TV series make casual game interpretations before, and most of their game counterparts are really top-notch in terms of production (maybe because of the budget that comes with it). The Righteous Kill game follows this same trend as we get to play a teaser Hidden Object game to follow the upcoming cop drama starring Robert de Niro and Al Pacino. And as always, we’re here to check out the highlights and lowlights of this game.
The Righteous Kill game follows the story of Detective Dean after she’s been tasked to investigate a vigilante-style murder by her superior, Detective Vasquez. A certain Terry Collins is the prime suspect and you’ll have to help Dean uncover clues leading to his apprehension in court. But further in the game, you’ll be learning that there’s something more about these murders than just Terry’s simple revenge, signifying a deeper case than what you’re originally put into.
The game features a classic Hidden Object style of gameplay where you have to search for listed items for each scene in the game. Items are scratched out after you find them and may sometimes involve finding multiple items of a single kind. And when you’re flabbergasted on trying to find items, click on the always-replenishing UV Flashlight to instantly show you a clue. What’s odd though is how many of these clues doesn’t really add value to the story of the game. But this is already customary on Hidden Object sleuthing games anyway, so I’m not really surprised.
After each level of finding objects, the game will let you play mini-games that will further expand the scope of the game’s story. Mini-games range from usual types like putting ripped-up pieces of evidence together or spotting the difference between two camera pictures, to very innovative games like dusting evidence for fingerprints and setting firewalls to trap internet signals. But don’t think that you’ll have to really play these mini-games for the story to develop though. Because with each mini-game is an escape button, trusty when you’re already stuck or when you just want to get the story over with.
As was said earlier, Righteous Kill is really top-notch when it comes to overall presentation. All the scenes are clearly presented with well-hidden objects but are recognizable once you spot them out. The musical score and ambient sounds are fantastic too, and I just loved the movie cut-scenes during when the actual story is about to be developed further.
Speaking of the story, it is quite evident too that the Righteous Kill game features a different script compared to the actual movie. I bet many of you will want to play as de Niro or Pacino in the game just like the movie, but unfortunately, you’ll just have to settle with our very own Detective Dean. I admit it’s quite disappointing, but the storyline is well-written anyway, and I enjoyed every minute of it despite the different starring roles.
