Missing persons isn’t something to joke about, but it makes for great games. Especially when the game controls well and the presentation is spot on. This is the case for Mystery Case Files: Millionheir. The game might be boring at one point, because of the lack of innovative elements, but we can assure you that solving a crime has never been such a lovely thing to do.

It's not a new idea but it's done well on DS, with enough variety to hook you. A good budget addition to a puzzle fan's library. [Dec 2008, p.66]

MillionHeir is a very singular game. It has a good graphical and acoustic system and, most of all, it has an unique style, linked to “objet trouvé” and “ready-made” aesthetic wave. On the other hand, the gameplay mechanic is a little bit linear and repetitious. If Big Fish Games had offered more diversions to the central formula, MillionHeir would have been a great game, suitable even for the graphical adventure fans, and not only for extravagances lovers.

Mystery Case Files: MilionHeir isn't going to take the place of the latest platformer or RPG in your DS library, but for what it is--a visual puzzle that tests of your power of perception--it fills the niche well. [Nov 2008, p.101]

If you find joy in snooping around for hidden objects, this might be a game for you. If you like to solve clever puzzles and mysteries, this isn't a game for you. Despite it's name hinting otherwise, this isn't a game that challenges your ability to solve crimes. The fact that you can play with friends does help a bit, but the overall feeling is that this game is too easy and lacking when it comes to variation.

The meat (and, hell, the bones, too) of this game is comprised of one thing: searching for a series of hidden objects. At first, this is fun in a Highlights for Children sort of way, but once you realize that it's practically all you do, it starts to get as exciting as finding your lost remote in your messy apartment.

Puzzle pictures are interesting to some extent, but for a full scale game they are just not enough. I'd also rather wonder where Wally is than search for Millionaire's lost socks with a flashlight. [Feb 2009]

A weak hide-and-seek game that's as laborious as it is devoid of fun. [Feb 2009, p.49]
