How much fun is it to stay trapped in a room?

Of the four reviews already written for this game, three complained about bugs. BELIEVE THEM. This is the most clunky game I've played in a long time. Here's what happens. When you enter a room, you can leave again, but if someone else enters the room and blocks the door you can't get past them. I've loaded it on three separate computers to see if the problem might be with the computer, but always the same problem. I have never been able to play for longer than 15 minutes without getting trapped. I love the board game, and I was excited about this adaptation, but it's not worth the time it will take you to install, get stuck, and uninstall it.

I have been a huge Clue fan since I was little. I was so excited to see this cd-rom. The first game I played it froze in the middle. The next 6 attempts the same thing happened. I got very frustrated and went searching on the internet for the web pages listed on the manual. I downloaded the 'patch', rebooted my computer, this time the game lasted longer than the previous 7 attempts. Finally I turned everything that was running in the background on my computer, except for the two basic programs you need and the game ran fine for 6 games in a row. (I have to admit when it runs like it should it is fun.) The seventh game I was almost at the end of the game when it crashed the computer. No matter what I did the 'butler's voice' would only start working about 3 turns into the game. So unless you have the time to turn every program off everytime, don't waste your money- stick with the classic board version!!

Great Game

Clue: Murder at Boddy Mansion is based on the famous board game. Clue has been a family favorite for over fifty years, and now it is available on CD. This game has VERY good graphics. The music is pretty nice, too. Each charactar looks almost LIFELIKE. After someone suggests, you will get a little surprise. There are "suggestion movies". For example, if you suggest Mrs. White with the revolver, a short movie will play of Mrs. White shooting the revolver. The first time I saw these movies, I was freeked out. I got used to them... The knife looks like it really went into YOUR flesh, and so on... For your convenience, there are "Auto-Notes". The computer will take notes for you. For instance, if you are Mr. Green, and you have the Dining Room, Hall, Ms. Scarlet, Rope, Mrs. Peocock, and Candlestick, you will fine small green squares next to that item in the list and a check mark next to it. You can click on the colored square to change the color, likewise with the check. It can be an X and other symbols. You can also write short notes about each item such as "Miss Scarlet might be the killer", or "The Lounge was the murder scene."

Overall, this game is VERY good and VERYVERY fun.
Thanks.

BUY IT NNOOWW!!

This game is pretty good and the service with Amazon was great. The game freezes but there should be a patch to download at the Hasbro website. Other than that it's fun!

Probably the best board game conversion yet

I was actually the Lead Programmer for this game we did for Hasbro Interactive. Despite my direct involvement, I think it is the best board game coversion of any of Hasbro's titles. Even though it was released in 1998, I am glad to see how many people are still enjoying it. I myself was impressed at the art and details that the artists managed to put into the graphics for this game. The sound effects and music were also effectively used to evoke an eerie, Hitchcock-like atmosphere. I'm certain you'll enjoy this title if you decide to buy it (and no, I am not getting royalties on this game!).

Classic Fun

Clue has always been my favorite board game, so when I learned I could combine my love of Clue with my love of computers, it was a dream come true.

This game plays much the same way the board game does, with up to 6 players being able to play as the various characters and moving about, trying to find the proper combination of person, place, and murder weapon. The game offers some creepy music and lightning effects to help the mood.

My only complaint about the game is that since everyone uses the same computer, there isn't really any way to keep people from looking at your cards and checklist when it's your turn. Play with honest friends!

WORST GAME EVER

I've had this game for about 15 yrs & it's still a fun diversion. Mine says Hasbro, this says Atari but same artwork & I'm sure same game. I play it solitaire-against the computer & have made small chits to keep track of 4 out of the 6 possible "players".

Clue is 3D!!

This clue game is fun but they could have done a better job. It is hard to move. I always get stuck on the corners. But there are some good things. It follows the game clue very well. The graffics are also great. At the sound of the game you would think you see someone murdering someone. This is not true. All you see is a person, holding [something]. Then you hear a scream. That's all.
