More like a dream than a game,
Beautiful graphics, evocative period music, hidden items that are at least plausible for the time period and sometimes part of the story, strong voice acting and narrative straight from the book–all these add up to an emotional adventure, more like dreaming the book than playing a game. For me, it was a more visceral experience than watching a movie. If you love reading The Great Gatsby, I think you will like this. If you want mysteries, adventure, challenging puzzles and won’t be happy with anything else, don’t buy it.

|Great HOG game,
A very enjoyable diversion. They did a nice job telling the story of The Great Gatsby within the confines of the game — the story moved forward smoothly and made sense even though very condensed. I especially like that they used actual text from the book. And that they took breaks from the HO finding from time to time to fill in the narrative. It was also nice that there were some different kinds of objects that were appropriate to the period.
First the bad – it’s not a hard HOG. The objects are generally fairly easy to find. The hints are liberal and I never got an over-clicking penalty. Oh, and the mini-games are incredibly lame — but there aren’t that many so it doesn’t really matter. Mostly, they’re there to make some bonus points.
That being said, this game offered a couple of innovative changes from most HOGs that were great. One is the use of some motion HO scenes — ie, you’re in a car driving along while finding hidden objects, or following a camera pan along some scenery during some narration. Pretty cool.
The best new thing was the introduction of a library/trophy room. The library houses your achievement trophies, but you can also spend points to add artwork, furniture, lighting, etc to it. You gain points from gameplay, and can earn bonus points by collecting certain books and finding letters to spell words. Very satisfying to end the game having a look at all the trophies and a nicely decked out library — it adds some replay value, too, if you didn’t get everything the first time through.
Overall, a very fun game. Probably the only HOG I’d actually play again.

|Classy,
Loved this game. It has beautiful scenery & was fun to do. So many of these hidden object games are scarey & dark for some reason. I like the beautiful or mystery type better. If you like pretty scenery & a game not too hard to do, this will be your cup of tea!!
