    Delightfully cheesy and not afraid to try new things. It's short but fun while it lasts. [Feb 2012, p.96]

    Although its puzzles are repetitive, James Noir's Hollywood Crimes 3D achieves to offer an interesting proposal in Nintendo 3DS thanks to its visuals, that although are not remarkable in its technical aspect, have a very particular style that some will find charming, and others will hate.

    3D is used to good effect in some puzzles, but the same effect could be had by staring at a lamp and walking around it, furtively searching for hidden messages before finally quitting and seeing if there's any pie in the house.

    It takes the Professor Layton formula of combining puzzles with a mystery story, and puts it into 1960's Hollywood with mixed results. The puzzles aren't as good as Layton's, but most are decent enough. The story itself is actually very good, with some twists and turns that are truly unexpected. Sadly, the execution of the story is marred by some awkward voicework, and bad pacing. Still it's good enough that you'll want to keep playing to see what happens next.…… Expand
