The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 1.0
Something Special is a hidden-object game in which you travel around the United States. Throughout the game, you will visit different cities of the States playing hidden-object games. Every location has three or more important places to visit where you will find a list with objects that you need to find. The scenes are well-created and some of the objects are not so easy to find. If you have trouble finding an object, you can use the hints, which are unlimited but take some time to recharge. What is more, the game includes three difficulty levels, although the only difference between them is the amount of time given to find the objects.
Unfortunately, the game only includes one main mode and no mini-games, which makes the game a bit monotonous and repetitive. Also, there are no penalties for random clicking, which makes it pretty easy.
Regarding the graphics, they are nice, but not really detailed, so some objects are almost impossible to be spotted. Sound effects are average and the music is suitable.
In short, Something Special is just another hidden-object game which doesn't include anything new or impressive, so unless you are a beginner of this genre, I wouldn't recommend you to try it. |
