Laura Jones and the Secret Legacy of Nikola Tesla review

The outstanding genre of hidden object games is unique and truly captivating to gamers. However, there are few games, which are not able to maintain the legacy of power packed hidden objects game. Laura Jones and the Secret Legacy of Nikola Tesla is one such game that fails on quite a few fronts. Actually, there are a few places where the game falters badly and some where it gives a feel of a well etched out game. In fact things turn a little confusing, so I am jotting down the various ups and downs that I encountered while playing the game.

Laura, the protagonist of the game, heads to Europe to visit her grandmother and discovers a letter addressed to her Grandma from the famous 20th century inventor Nikola Tesla. This letter is the clue to several parts of Tesla’s long-lost invention - a machine full of alternative fuel that is cleaner and efficient than oil.

The 14 chapters of this game is a mixture of hidden objects, inventory puzzle and mini games. The challenge of collecting medical supplies to treat a cut finger, designing a logo at the back of the jacket or catching chickens that escaped from the cages gel nicely with the story line. You can also zoom in and out to different puzzles or move objects to uncover an item. It can be amusing to see moving objects like insects that scuttle around the screen, weather vanes that blow in the wind, and mice that poke their heads out behind the furniture.

Laura Jones and the Secret Legacy of Nikola Tesla has its moments of creativity and unexpected twists but fails to do justice to the storyline. It is nowhere near to the two other exceptional games of its genre, Cate West: the Velvet Keys and Samantha Swift and the Golden Touch. These games can be considered as a sequel of Laura Jones and the Secret Legacy of Nikola Tesla in terms of production values and polish. Well, I found the game slipping at many fronts and that is the sole reason I did not find the interest to play the game more than once.

The shoddy graphics of the game makes the game play really uninteresting and you have to drag through the game. At times it is really tough to spot the items because of the poor graphics. There are no penalties for random clicks, so go on a clicking spree to spot your items. There are ample hints to help you find out the hidden objects. There are a few gamers like me who like the cat and mouse game, so hints are like spoil sports for us. The hidden object games can be even more fun with less hints and more use of the grey matter. The sound effects are not only clumsy but you will also feel that they are forced at places.

Conclusion: Laura Jones and the Secret Legacy of Nikola Tesla is not a game that will keep you glued to your seats. If you are real fan of hidden object games, you may not prefer trying out this game. So before you purchase this game, its better to try the demo first, play it and then decide. A word for the creators: Create games that reflect your hard work instead of your sloppy attitude.
