Mysterious City: Vegas

Mysterious City: Vegas is a hidden object game which was produced by IWin Company. There is no actual story backing the gameplay, instead the game offers you a clear purpose. It’s obvious that where’s money, there’s crime, and Las Vegas is a very rich city! So, your goal is to investigate a series of unsolved crimes and trace an uncatchable casino thief.

The game offers you classic hidden object gameplay: you should seek and find items from a list, compare two scenes for differences and make out silhouettes of objects. You can choose between two game-modes: relaxed and timed. Relaxed mode still has a timer that gives you 130 minutes extra to complete the game. During the game you can unlock various mini-games, like poker, slot machine, or pingo, which mixes bingo with keno.

The game’s production values are quite good, except for the fonts, which are extremely difficult to read. We think that it’s always better to use standard fonts like Times New Roman, Verdana and Arial than some funky stuff.

Summarizing all, we can say that Mysterious City: Vegas is an average hidden object game, with ordinary gameplay, interesting mini-games and decent graphics. So, if you are a fan of the genre, you should give this one a chance, and maybe you’ll like it!
