  1. With a compelling narrative, intriguing setting, stellar acting, gorgeous graphics and character animations, Evil Under the Sun is one of the two finest detective/adventure games I've ever played—the other being Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened.. This isn't a game to be "beaten;" rather, it's a journey to be savored, reflected upon, remembered.
  2. This one is a leisurely and enjoyable journey, one to take if you just want to relax and don't want to tax your own little grey cells too severely. It's particularly good for new adventurers.
  3. Overall, Agatha Christie: Evil under the Sun is definitely an improvement over the previous title in the series, albeit a slight one.
  4. Evil Under the Sun suffers from a variety of flaws, glaring and otherwise, but its biggest is that it simply fails to truly draw the player into its world and offers gameplay that is tedious, derivative, and ultimately forgettable.

    I have played all the agatha christie games and this is definitely the best one. It took awe a little while to get going, but now it looks like they are hitting their stride. Expand

    Not everybody will like this game because it takes some time till the story gets really started but generally it's a good game with nice characters and it's certainly one of the better adventures that I have played so far. Expand

    loaded game, played it and then it starts to go really slow and then the screen turns white and you can't see anything. I uninstalled it, cleared my cookies and reinstalled it to only have it happen again. Ticks me off that there is no patch for this! Expand
