Agatha Christie: Evil Under The Sun
Can’t review game because my computer graphics aren’t strong enough to play the game, which looked like it would have been fun.

After a hard week I was looking forward to relaxing with the new Agatha Christie game, “Evil Under The Sun”. It started out terrific. But then I got this “white screen of death”. Maybe just a computer glitch. Nope! After numerous retrys, reloading, and resetting video I discovered on the net that many folks are having the same problem. Adventure Company claims its our computer’s video deficiency! Wrong. I have a 3 month old new Gateway with a system that exceeds the requirements of the game. Apparently the company just blows that off. Don’t waste your money on a product with this type of bug in it.

I’m sure this game would be very enjoyable if the game company was not so selfish and money hungry that they wouldn’t do something to protect their good name. The other two games were fantastic and this problem with the white screen is so infuriating I’m tempted to let them know that many people will never trust them to make a good game ever again. I probably would do it if I felt eloquent enough. I would love to be able to ply this gme I BOUGHT AND PAID FOR. If only they would make a patch, I’m sure it would take very little resorces and would result in very many satisfied customers.

I knew something was drastically wrong when I found the master key for the hotel rooms before I finished Act 3. It was dangling from the hallway ceiling near Linda’s Room. After that, I uninstalled the game and called it quits.
I wish that I could have played this game for more than 7 minutes without my computer rebooting with an error message. A white screen would have been welcome.
Contrary to other reviewers, having an excellent driver or an excellent graphics card did nothing to help me.
I am very disappointed. I own both of the earlier games for PC (Murder on the Orient Express, And Then There Were None) and never experienced a problem this severe with either of them.
Caveat Emptor!!!
Additional note. I gave this game to a friend at work. She took Mr.Anderson’s advice and downloaded the “patch” for the game and was so pleased with the patch’s ability to stave off the white screen and reboots that the game is currently in a landfill somewhere in PA.

I previously gave this game low marks for the whiteout issue . . . I truly don’t feel the general game specifications on the box precluded using the game on a computer with an integrated graphics chipset. Anyway, I recently downloaded the patch from the manufacturer’s website (beware: they don’t exactly identify what the patch is supposed to fix), and I’m happy to say I never had another whiteout, even with my “basic” computer. It’s a good game, too. I do feel that Poirot spends a little too much time walking (it would be so much better if you could click on an island map to get him to a different location), but, overall, they capture the feeling of the book, gave the gamer some good puzzles to solve, and offered up some lovely visuals and music. Lots of fun and I’ll play it again. Sorry I’m unable to upgrade the amount of stars for this review!
