travelogue 360 paris picture puzzle game
Posted by debbie on November 5th, 2006
Big Fish Games has done it again with Travelogue 360 Paris. They’ve designed another “I Spy” type of game. This time, you’re in Paris, and you’re finding clues in tourist destinations around the city. The twist, though, is that now you can zoom in and out and also look all around (hence the 360 title).
It’s a really cool interface: you zoom in with your mouse scroll button and rotate around by holding down the right mouse button. If you don’t feel like using the mouse, there are also controls on-screen to click. You start by choosing to play either a relaxed game with no deadlines, or a more difficult timed version. There are usually about 8 items per location, but there are 22 different locations througnout the game. Also, at the end of each section, there’s a differnt puzzle to solve (putting things into a suitcase just right, putting pieces of a puzzle together, etc.).
The only annoying thing for me was the repetitive music, but I just turned it off and listened to my own. I enjoyed this title as much as I did the last two: Mystery Case Files: Prime Suspects and Mystery Case Files: Huntsville. I hope they come out with more travel destinations in the series!
