 Great game, but over too fast August 8, 2007
Pamela Jensen (Santa Rosa, CA, USA)
I found this to be a really fun game, but it didn't take long to complete all the tasks. I wish it kept going or had more things to interact with - people, drawers to open, doors to look behind, etc.
 i loved this May 5, 2007

i really enjoyed this game. i love doing puzzles and those weird logic question-games. this game was good because the puzzles were not obvious (although i felt some of the narrator's clues gave too much away). there isn't really any action so if you're looking for the cool filler stuff between the puzzles, this game doesn't have it. it will definitely engage your brain and leave you staring at the screen as if the clue was going to jump out at you. so if you just want to breeze through a game you may want to consider a different one. if you are looking for the type of puzzle that keeps your mind wandering off even when you're not playing it--this is your game. i can't wait to play the first one!

This is somewhat drab in overall creativity and interest, but if you are in the mood for some brain teaser puzzles it will work for you. I havent even been intrigued enough to finish the game yet.
Fun, but... February 14, 2007

The concept of this game is great! I loved figuring out the safes; however, without going to an on-line cheat site there are some safes that I would have NEVER figured out on my own! Also, it has a very disappointing ending and once you're done, you're done. There is nothing else to do on the CD. No other puzzles or strategy games. So I felt it was a waste of money to buy a game that you play once and are finished.

I recently purchased "Safecracker" because I love to play mystery games - but I have to say that I was a bit disappointed when I began playing it, as it wound up being merely a game of puzzles, without all the intrigue & finding of inventory items along the way.
Having said that, I do realize that some people really like the "logic puzzles" that are generally a part of most mystery games, and I do too, but this was just one puzzle after another, without all of the other "stuff" I've come to enjoy.
In "Safecracker", you play an expert safecracker whose been hired by the family of an extremely wealthy deceased man (Duncan Adams) to find his will. It turns out that Duncan was quite eccentric, and his hobby was buying & building unique safes to house his valuables. Your job is to solve the puzzles & figure out how to open more than 30 safes in a quest to find the will.
The difficulty level for these puzzles ranges greatly, with some being really easy, and others being extremely difficult. I had to reference a "hints" site several times, and found UHS Hints to be the most comprehensive & easiest to understand.
Overall, I found this game to be a bit tedious. However, I would highly recommend it to anyone who really enjoys solving these types of puzzles. How much you like this game really all comes down to personal preference...
