As Fun As The Original

This edition of Clue contains great grapics, cool jazz music (which they should have on while you play the game as well). The animation flows without any bugs and you can play different levels like easy, medium, hard. Not the best game available so wait until this one is on sale.

great game

I played this game with a relative of mine and we both love the graphics, jazz music, and the '20-'30 design on the page. It's easy to load and take the time to read the instructions carefully otherwise you have to start the game again just when it's getting good. I'm purchasing the game myself so that we can play via internet.We are clue lovers since way back.

As a fan of the Family Game Night board game, I was excited to see the CD-Rom version of CLUE! We installed it over our network at home and the game is great to play that way! You can play it solo, too - with the computer taking on two other `players' with a choice of three skill levels. All the elements are in place here for an entertaining evening with the family, friends (over the Net even!), or by yourself!

A word of warning: The suspected crime is reenacted as players guess whodunit each round. While the graphics are beautifully done, they are accompanied by spooky music, thunder and lightning which make the reenactments a bit startling and probably scary for little ones. There is no blood or gore involved by any means, just the `suspect' in the `room' using the `weapon' from the perspective/point of view of the player(you, not your game piece) as the victim. Perhaps I'm overacting in light of the abundance of video game violence out there for children already! The violence of this game is nothing compared to much of what I've seen in Nintendo/Sega/Play Station video games! All the same, I'll hold back one star in the name of Violence-Free entertainment.

A patch, which I recommend downloading, is available for the CD-Rom.

Just Like When You Played It As A Kid...

The graphics and music for this game are excellent! I particulary like the fact that you have several different choices about how you play the game. You can choose the classic die roll version or a version in which every player gets the same # of moves. The computer will keep up with your checklist if you want it to. You can also choose to view the playing board two ways: like the standard board game or in 3-D. If you choose the 3-D version, be sure to make your character walk around in the rooms and touch the pictures, the pool table in the Billiard Room, the armor, etc. If you choose to view the game in the standard boardgame set-up, the secret passages are the little yellowish boxes. All-in-all, a fun game, but reading the directions before you start is helpful.

It was a dark and stormy night...

The classic boardgame has now moved to the computer. With all the mystery and suspense you knew and loved. The 3D graphics used with the game are excellent. The game can be played either viewing as the classic boardgame (overview), or as a three dimensional mansion.

When a player makes a suggestion (e.g. Professor Plum with the knife in the library) the computer plays a simulated cut-scene of what that particular scenario might look like. With an added surround sound card and subwoofer these scenes are very suspenseful!

The game can also be played solo, pitting you against two to five computer run players.

This is a great classic game and highly recommended.

Excellant graphics but slow at times

Clue has really great graphics and is a lot more fun than the board game but it does tend to get stuck at times and be a bit slow after the computers turn. I'd highly recommend this game if you loved Clue as a child.It also would be great to introduce older children to this board game.

Clue. On the computer!!

The game itself, is very fun to play. If you like the board game, you'll like Risk I and II. Risk I is a basic computer copy of the board game. Risk II adds lots of cool stuff, sounds, motion, board options. I only found one thing wrong with Risk II, multi-player. The original version was great, it was you, a buddy and 1 computer player. Now, with Risk II, you must have three people to have a multi-player game. So, if you want to have a 1-on-1 fight for World Domination, I hope you still have your Risk I CD around.

A spectacular Clue computer game finally made for the PC.

All Clue fans remember the debacle of the previous incarnation of Clue for the PC. This version more than makes up for the last version. Go to Hasbro Interactive's web site first to download a patch after installing this. The graphics are breathtaking, the music gets you in the mood immediately, giving the feel of an old-fashioned murder mystery movie (sometimes it almost feels like a movie too!) and never becomes annoying. Top-down view and angled view are two of many choices you have in customizing the game to your liking. Little mini-clips of your "suggestion" in action play as you make them, giving a small sense of "re-enactment" of the crime. Animated nuances such as wind-blown curtains, wind howling outside and clicking on various ornaments in the room make for some nice surprises. I don't get to play with my friends on the board game so playing on this CD version is a delight. Rich, full graphics, beautiful music, customizability and its strong adherence to Clue's game rules makes a fabulous game you'll want to play over and over.

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.
