Great Idea but too much money for only one ending.......2005-02-26

It was a great idea that needed more added to it. With only one ending it wasn't worth the money we paid for it. It took my spouse and I less than one hour to figure out who did it. When we realized that was it, we were very disappointed. Now we are finished with it and will not watch it again. If it had alternate endings it would be worth the money we paid.

Mystery DVD Game is fun!.......2002-07-18

This interactive DVD was easy to figure out how to play it. I played this game with my friends at a birthday party. It was fun to try to figure out who did it. I like that you could pick parts of the story to play again. The coroner was funny. I hope thay make some more of these kind of games.

A GOOD CONCEPT THAT NEEDS A LOT OF WORK.......2002-04-19

Don't get me wrong. This is a very cool idea, and a well done DVD. Yet, with the capabilities of DVD, I expected something a little more complex and a little more of a movie to watch.

The concept of mystery DVD is exciting! I was thrilled at the idea, but was let down upon receiving the DVD.

In essence, there isn't much there. A few short clips to watch and some evidence and reports to read. An interrogation of 6 suspects takes place, which I thought would be really cool, but you don't participate. You hit play, and watch.

It is a complicated mystery, but there is no audience participation at all. Just up to you to sort out the evidence and arrest a suspect.

The main thing that I would have liked would have been a set-up movie. A back story. Get to know the characters and see some sort of short movie. That doesn't happen, instead you READ a report that gives you a back story.

The concept is awesome. Hopefully, somebody will take this idea and build upon it. DVD is capable of storing at least 10 hours of information, yet STAB IN THE DARK has less than an hour of things to keep you busy.

Once you figure it out... it's a coaster.

Wish it had multiple endings..........2002-04-05

This is a fun DVD, it really makes you do the police work. However, once you have solved the mystery, you are done with the DVD. There are no alternate endings, so really, it is just a play-once game.

Great as a party game!.......2002-03-23

I played this with a few friends over pizza. We had a great time arguing over who was lying and reviewing the suspects stories. One friend was sure she was right from almost the start, but we all thought she was wrong. But we were. I think she was just lucky. Anyway, for $20 it was a cheap and fun night out - or in.
