 Black Mirror Review October 1, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This computer game starring Samuel Gordon was definitely worth my money. I picked it up on a whim, as I was looking for a new game to play. I always enjoy point and clicker mystery games, (such as Nancy Drew and Agatha Christie), and this did not disappoint.
The graphics are wonderful, and the music and effects really add to the atmosphere. It really felt like it was raining in real life when it was in the game! I thoroughly enjoyed that there were many locations to go to, and different tasks at each one.
The only bad things that I can think of for the game are that I wish you could have zoomed in to see other characters or surroundings (the game is in 3rd person), it seemed like i was far away many times. The option to zoom would have been perfect for some of the situations. Unfortunately, there is some backtracking/waiting around involved, but I felt that sometimes that added to the suspense. I was eager for the next mission.
All around, I would recommend this game to mystery fans and those who enjoy a bit of horror. I got spooked once or twice when something jumped out, I'll admit! Great gameplay, good story-line, and a fun game!
Entertaining enough, but disappointing after all that work. May 10, 2008

My daughter and I like to do these sorts of games together. We worked on it for a few days, and the game is lovely. Movement, music, interaction. But when we solved the last puzzle, questioned the last character and made it to the end, we were both sorely disappointed. What a lousy ending, in our opinion. So, in our estimation, this game is just okay.

This game has a protection called starforce. Starforce can cause your computer to mess up and also. By the lawsuit that is hanging in cort right now damage to your computer system and cd/dvd drive.
 Very good December 29, 2007
I just wanted to add my rating. It is very fun, and I think the best part was that it was like watching a horror movie. I always turned the lights off because it gave me that "spooky" feeling... There is a lot of gameplay.
 Disappointing overall December 24, 2007

For one thing, the anti-piracy block used on this game made it impossible for me to install it on my computer with Vista, even with loads of tech support, etc. I ended up playing it on a friend's (older) computer and half the graphics were blurred.
Aside from the technical difficulties, I must admit at times I enjoyed this game for the most part. The problems, though, are too numerous to overlook, and I won't be playing it again. It's too slow and plodding as others have pointed out, and I got tired of hearing the same tired phrases over and over "Robert, may I speak to you a moment? I have something I wish to talk to you about?" Substitute the name of any character for "Robert" each time you wanted to inquire of someone. It got monotonous, and there were times I stopped playing it altogether for a week or two.
I wasn't as disappointed with the ending as some people were. Perhaps, though, I was just glad to get it over with finally.
