 A puzzle game marred by a steep learning curve, vague hints and long load times. Nov 08, 2009
By The Matrix Fan
"Video Gamer since 1979."
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R27H3IOQ7FXQKU This is me talking about the game and some of the frustrations it brings.
To clarify the amount of time it took me to finish, it was over the course of 5 days: the total time played was 12 hours and 15 minutes.
Enjoy!

Challenging Puzzles found here Jan 04, 2009
By Charles E. Breiling
This is definitely a thinking-person's game, and also one requiring persistence and patience.
Some of the safes are no-brainers (find a key in one safe, and it unlocks another safe), many have a clever puzzle to solve (manipulate a series of switches or buttons), while some are of the "unknown code keypad" type. This last kind proved the most difficult, because there's no feedback other than not getting the code right.
My wife and I took about ten hours to get through the whole thing, and we resorted to online walkthroughs on three of the keypad safes. If you find yourself needing a walkthrough, find one that gives hints rather than just saying "the code is 1234," to make the game more fun.
Take note, the mansion is gloriously rendered, but it is almost all eye-candy. The only thing needed to solve the safes are the safes themselves and the items in your inventory, which almost all come from opening other safes. In other words, it's not a point-and-click adventure where you're searching for hidden hotspots.
This aspect of the game was especially well done. If you cursor over an area where you can click, the icon changes, but if you can't click there YET (because you don't have the right key yet, for example), you also get feedback, so you know that's a future clickable area.
To sum it up, the puzzles require creative thinking (a few real out-of-the-box puzzles), persistence, and patience (and some paper for taking notes, to help discover patterns). The game is very rewarding if you solve the safes on your own.

Great if you are into this sort of thing. Dec 23, 2008
By Matthew B. Gold
"vertex67"
Safecracker is a point and click adventure with LOTS of puzzles. You move your player around by clicking places in the room, moving you to different prerendered spots with a 360 panoramic view. This is pretty dated, but it works well for the game. One complaint is that it takes too long to load between rooms, especially if you don't know what to do and are traversing the entire mansion looking for something. THe entire game revolves around specialty "safes" that you are trying to get into, to find clues to the whereabouts of the deceased owners will. These safes are usually just extremely difficult puzzles, some of which will take hours to solve ):
But if you love puzzles and like the idea of the game, Safecracker would make a great rental (you will finish it in a few sittings).
worth: $12

 WII SAFECRACKER GAME Oct 28, 2009
By Denise E. Rolon
"NICEY04"
THIS IS AN AWESOME GAME IF YOU ARE REALLY INTO SOLVING PUZZLES. I MUST ADMIT IT IS NOT EASY AT ALL BUT IT KEEPS YOU ON YOUR TOES UNLIKE OTHER GAMSE THAT AS SOON AS THE MYSTERY IS SOLVED ITS NOT FUN. IT TAKES TIME TO FIGURE OUT EACH BOARD THATS WHAT MAKES IT FUN. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE WHO LOVES PUZZLE GAMES.

Fun puzzle game Dec 22, 2008
By Julia Johnson
"heyjude1971"
This is a fun puzzle game. My boyfriend and I (we're middle-aged) really enjoyed solving the puzzles together. The puzzles are very unique and it's satisfying when you figure out the answer. It was very addictive. Only one complaint: we finished it within 24 hours (2 sittings) -- I wish it could have lasted longer. Oh well -- I'll give it to my brother now and he'll enjoy it too. This game is very much like Myst, et al -- only with mostly just different types of safes.
