User Submitted I Spy Spooky Mansion Deluxe v2.0 w/I SPY Book & Bonus Mini CD-Rom Reviews (cont...)Date: 2007-06-29 Highly Recommended My daughter has been playing all of the I Spy games since she was about 5 and she thinks they're terrific. She is now 7 and still enjoys them. We parents find them plenty clever and interesting, too. As a bonus, they work seamlessly on our Mac. Date: 2007-02-08 spooky mansion review Loved the item but felt like amazon tricked me into the shipping. Described as if by now will recieve by a certain date. Not true. You actually paid an outrageous amount for this shipping. I ended up paying more for shipping than for the actual product. Would have saved money driving and buying it at retail store. Buyer beware of tricky shipping!!! Date: 2007-01-18 Not as good as thought.... I personally think that the huntville games are more challenging for my children than this game. I thought it would have many levels but it doesn't and my kids after a few hours had the whole game complete. The pictures we okay but the kids seem to find things easily. I was very disappointed. Date: 2007-01-16 good game I got this for my 7 yr old boy and he really loves it. The only complaint I have is that he made it through the whole game pretty quickly and now has now way else to play it differently. But good game over all. Date: 2007-01-11 Great Entertainment for kids and the adults who love them My five year old got this for Christmas and it immediately proved its value when we were snowed in for most of the week. The game held his interest for hours and allowed us to play together in a way that was fun for both of us. The basic premise is the standard I-SPY, in that you look at pictures and try to find specific items. The fun is that each puzzle is part of a greater adventure inside a beautifully rendered Haunted Mansion. The player searches a dozen areas in 5 different rooms. The goal is to find all the clues that then lead to another puzzle that allows you to escape the Haunted House. Each round is interesting and there are a number of verbal and visual puns that require some thought and occasional adult assistance. The drawings are well done and just spooky enough to keep it interesting. My son found the attic search to be scary enough that he wanted me to help him, so be aware of some minor scare factor. Even more interesting is that there are three different mysteries that get progressively more challenging, so the game can be played for some time. In total play time it took my son ( with some adult help, especially from Grandma) about 20-25 hours to play all three and then he wanted to start again. The game is somewhat complex and I would think that 5 is the low end of the age range for the game. Overall this is a very interesting and involving game and will give your kids hours of fun.
