Paparazzi: The Million Dollar Shot
Not a bad game, you're a reporter, given very quirky missions, where you must lay in wait for whomever you were assigned to take shots of, and wait.. and wait..
This is one of two minus' for this game, I've waited over 50 minutes for the person to show, that can be very annoying, the other minus being the clues, Mystery Case Files style clues you must find in each persons room before you are allowed to go on your photography mission, and sometimes these clues are just down-right impossible, you can BUY hints, and they aren't cheap!
There is also a Spot The Difference game with each mission.
Nice graphics, cool music, a little repetitive, very funny assignments, a little slow waiting for the person to show, but worth it when they finally do.
You are given 6 shots, so try and take the best picture you can with those shots, IF you can snap the person for the brief moment they appear!
The better the shot - the more money you get per picture, and you're going to need that money, trust me, because the clues, the further along in the game you get, cost THOUSANDS! hehehe
It's worth the money, you just need a LOT of patience :)
I won't ruin the ending, but the final mystery person is hehehehe, you will have to buy it to find out ;)
I guarantee you will get a big laugh out of it! |

Paparazzi
I played this at my friends house after maxing out all the free trials. I loved this game very addicting. not to hard but challenging. I dont agree with the other reviews I thought the graphics to be great on this game. Pictures were clear and challenging. I recommmend buying this game it is worth the money if your into MCF games and find and seek games. Fun sounds and cute dialogue |

Irritating
The title of this review summarizes the game entirely. I loved the concept and intentions behind the game, but overall - it as just an irritating game. Unlike in Travelogue 360: Paris or Mystery Case Files, you cannot see the hidden objects very well. This is because they aren't really "hidden" but most times they are so distorted or tiny that you'd literally need a microscope to find the objects. I don't consider this to be very fair in game play at all as it's not a challenge, but a headache of a task. I have, nearly every level, run out of time while trying to locate objects. I do not consider this game to be realxing at all. You are asked to find "sea weed" and sometimes "green slime" which are the exact same graphic! Sorry, but sea weed doesn't look like someone with a sinus infection sneezed on the monitor. Disgusting! After you manage to find all of the objects, which unlike MFC - you are required to find ALL of the objects before moving on, you must then complete another round. This round consists of finding the differences in the two images you are shown. My chief complaint here is that you might get a great chain going only to click on a section you can clearly see is different than the mirrored image and it breaks your chain claiming you have clicked on a bad spot, costing you points as well. This is a bad bug which can frustrate a player instantly. After you complete this, supposedly, fun round you are moved into the round of taking pictures of a quickly passing celebrity. You are sitting there, stairing at the screen, intensely waiting for the image to pop up randomly on the screen. You see it pop up, you click to snap a picture for your money, and 99% of the time you get $100 or a miss. It's rare to get a $500 snap or a $300 snap. You only get 6 tries, and even though you clearly had your mouse marking the images for a picture .. you can pretty much bet it will interpret your picture as an awful snapshot.
Overall, it's not worth buying. |

Below Par
This game is in the style of the MCF series, but it is sorely lacking in the clues department. You cannot find click on clues until they come on the screen, and once you found a clue, it does not go away as in the MCF series. The whole buying a hint does not go very far either. Also in the spot the difference segment, the pointer is rather inaccurate in circling the clues. |

Interesting, but frustrating
For people looking to satisfy their Mystery Case Files (Huntsville, Prime Suspects and Ravenhearst) addiction, Paparazzi is one of the 'wannabe' contenders for your gaming dollar.
You've seen the general gameplay before if you've played any of the MCF games. You play a paparazzi photographer who needs to dig up some dirt on various 'celebrities'. In this case the 'dirt' takes the form of various objects that you need to find hidden in the picture. when you find one, you frame it in your camera lens and click on it to take a photo of it, for which you get paid. So far so good - the idea is a good one and I give it a big thumbs up.
Unfortunately, the objects themselves are sometimes next to impossible to find - and not for lack of trying. The only way to find some objects is to use the hint feature, which basically costs you money, with successive hints costing you more. If you haven't earned enough, your out of luck. I think this is a good idea, but the cost of these hints becomes prohibitive, so it doesn't work as well as it could.
The object list for each level only shows 5 items at a time. Personally I like to scan the whole list first as it gives me a chance to find objects faster. Having only part of the list showing slows me down, so I consider it a negative.
There is a spot the differences game after in each level, and this is a good idea. Every correct difference earns you cash, and increases the accuracy bonus each time. The downside is that sometimes even when you click on a difference, the hotspot isn't there so you lose your accuracy bonus - a big frustration and a thumbs down for that.
At the end of each level you also have to take a number of pics of the celeb - if you can. Another good idea, but reaction time is a big factor.
In summary, there are some good and bad points about this game. For me I found the click mishaps on the spot the difference level very annoying, but it is only a small part of the game.
Worth a look! |
