Shutter Island (PC DVD)

I did enjoy this game - from the story point of view - and eventuall got it running flawlessly on a Windows 7 machine - once I had sorted out the "Flash" requirements !!

It's a very simple point and click, find the hidden object in the very messy room game, which my non-gamer girlfriend completed in under 2 hours flat.Vaguely follows the film, and does have some cahracters, no voices though, just text dialogue.Contains no actual investigation work, or other gameplay of any kind.

great

Worst game I have ever played, finished in 2 hours, the storyline was weak, the graphics were shocking on some parts, it didn't play very well and I personally found it too be boring and uninspiring, no physical game play at all, just click and find which after the first level was extremely tedious.

The game seems to have no connection with the film, which is why I bought it originally. It is boring, just consisting of endless item searches which are not connected. No action, wit ddor a even a proper plot. Do not buy- save your money.

I notice that this title is no longer listed on the publisher's homepage. I wonder if this because it is no longer current, or because of the crushing embarrassment they suffered when they came down from whatever drug induced high they were on, and realised that they were responsible for releasing this, and I use the term loosely, "computer game".The 150mb quoted on the case, which I've now reclaimed from my hard drive to accommodate something more entertaining (like the recycling bin), should have been a warning sign. The game is so lacking in content I would suspect it took less time to program than the 20 minutes of my life that I spent playing it before I lost the will to live.I purchased this with my girlfriend in mind, as she really enjoyed the film, and I thought it might be the sort of game she'd enjoy playing. Having sampled it myself however, I have decided that the best course of action is to NOT to suggest that she play it because, although I'd have more gaming time as a single man, I don't really relish the thought of being beaten AND dumped in the same evening.In a way they've done game reviewers a big favour. Now they have a baseline against which all future poor releases can be compared. They can use phrases like "This game fails in all respects, but at least it's not as bad as Shutter Island".

A lot has already been said in the other reviews, which I heartily agree with. This game was cheap but still terrible value for money. Despite having an up to date computer with plenty of RAM, I had problems installing it, the installation getting to about 99%, then just freezing. A few months went by and I tried again. This time it eventually installed but initially refused to run, until I right-clicked the icon and ran it as administrator, something I've never had to do with any of my other PC games. Hooray, I thought, now let's see how good this game is. Two very unchallenging hours later it was over, just at the point when I would have expected it to step up a gear. This is, without doubt, the worst PC game I possess. It was a cheapo impulse buy at a supermarket. I wish I'd read the other reviews here first!

shutter island is a rip off. Please do not buy this game. You find loads of hidden objects and in no related way, you are led to different rooms until it ends up just like the film. There are no special effects, no interesting twists, it is just a rip off. So Scoresce or whatever you are called, sue me if you will. Please, just watch the film. If it is game seeking thrills you are after, this will not do it for you. What a total waste of money
