Beautifully done! Love this series! – New York Mysteries: Secrets of the Mafia Collector's Edition HD Review

I played this first installment after I played the second and third in the New York Mysteries series. I expected that it wouldn't be quite up to par with those games, but boy, was I wrong! The storyline for Secrets of the Mafia feels like an episode of The X Files set in the 1950s. The graphics, animation and cut scenes are unbelievably good. The minigames are inventive. The HOPs are complex and resemble treasure hunts more than hidden object quests. The gorgeous map enables teleportation and shows you where there are available tasks and collectibles. Your progress and key clues are captured in a helpful journal. Sensitivity of the touch screen and item location are spot on. There is a lengthy bonus chapter with an interesting story that could spawn a prequel. Literally my only criticism is that the soundtrack is noticeably repetitive. There were no crashes or glitches, and I didn't experience any of the issues I had with the second and third installments of New York Mysteries. I strongly recommend this game, and I know I'll play it again.
