This game is absolutely demonic. Throughout the game are signs of witchcraft and demonic activity. A sick and twisted indivudual came up with the concept for the game. The images are highly disturbing. No one should buy or play this game.

The package I received from Amazon contained an installation CD that was not readable by my computer. I cannot return it since it has been opened. I cannot sell it because it doesn't work. I'm out $19. I recommend you do not make the same mistake and don't even consider purchasing it.

It is just not fun.

I realized I did not like this game after spending 20 minutes pulling a target around on a string for no discernible reason. It may be pretty, but there is no fun. I play games for fun, and if there is no fun, it would be better to take a second job and make money doing something not fun. If you really want to get into this kind of game, search for alternate reality games.

Wow, until I played "Missing" I had no idea you could make an entire game from Flash.

Why aren't there _more_ games like this on the market?? Oh yeah, because the only thing you can do with Flash is drag-n-drop, chase balls around on the screen, and watch videos.

To add insult to injury, as one reviewer noted -- this game is indeed demonic. That reviewer might have sounded like a crazy crackpot, but one must only go ten minutes into the game before agreeing with him. Because of the email bug, I was forced to watch the 40-second preview video over (of a women running around terrified and screaming from the supposed serial killer) about five times before I figured out that I needed to download and install some patch. Here's a great example of boring and offensive: an early puzzle involves you watching a video that shows (at the end) someone being kicked and shot in the head. You are then given 10 or more stills from the film to put in order. To solve this, you end up watching the video about 20 times, every time from the very beginning and every time making two clicks to go from frame-ordering to the film. Your reward is yet another screen with floating balls you must chase with your mouse. Having fun yet?

To put my review in perspective: I liked playing Grand Theft Auto and Silent Hill.

"Missing: Since January" Does Not Work!

Very disappointed in this game because after three installs, it still will NOT work on my six-month old computer using Windows XP. It keeps on crashing my computer and causing it to reboot. When I was able to play it for a few minutes, the puzzles made no sense and were very difficult. The instruction book that comes with the game is very poorly written and is not accurate. The instructions are unclear and don't match up with what is displayed on your computer screen. Perhaps this is due to the instructions being translated from French or something...I don't know.

Very upset that I blew $20 on yet another game I cannot play on my computer.

THIS GAME SUCKS!! TOO MANY FRIGGIN' BUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Different, yet appalling

This game consists mainly of the following:

-clicking on floating shapes(some of which are moving) for no discernable reason
-trying combinations of given nouns in Google to find the pages set up by the game makers
-playing truly asinine arcade games
-watching movies which are seldom in the least compelling

Admittedly, this game is a form of annoyance I have not before experienced, thus I suppose it is, in some way, innovative.

I should also note that there are 2 ``puzzles" near the end which are rather hard (on the patience and hands, not the brain), which was presumably a last-ditch effort to expand game-play time. Kudos.

Realistic Fun, if your patient.

It took me about ten months to finish this game. I had a love/hate relationship with it. I loved it when I solved the puzzles and hated it when the puzzles didn't make any sense or I was 99.9% sure I had the puzzle solved and it wouldn't let me pass. When this happened, I stopped playing it for a while and then eventually tried again. I also had to download a couple fixes to get the game do what it was supposed to.

The thing that brought me back was the realism. I had no problem getting the emails to keep the game going, the movie sequences were interesting and the killer, The Phoenix, would tease you if you took too long on one puzzle. Granted some of the stages were poorly drawn out games that made Pac-Man look modern but I couldn't stop playing until I beat it.

This game isn't for everyone and I understand why some people gave this game only one star. But I'm hoping they make more realistic games like this.

The game was fair at best.... the problem is, when I finally completed the game and tried to uninstall it, the uninstall program deleted ALL OF MY PERSONAL DATA AND SETTINGS! I am an experienced computer user and I dont' know if it was some crazy glitch or a bad joke, but none the less, it ate half of my computer!!! USE CAUTION with this game.

Makes you think

Ok, alot of you out there are upset because you're thinking the game doesn't work. WHile you are being frustrating, check out the games website, there are patches that need to be downloaded in order for the game to work. I enjoyed the puzzles this game had to offer. ALthough some were difficult/pointless, they nonetheless did what they were supposed to and that was kill time, and make you think. there is an excellent website out there that will help guide you in the right direction if you get lost.
