Oh no… for there is a murderer on the loose (said with so much emphasis the word could break at any moment) and the Blue Toad detectives need to catch the villain! Yet, much in the style of the recent British comedy film Hot Fuzz, not all is as it seems in the quiet little town of Little Riddle. Each episode is fairly linear, yet the map does offer some sense of faux-freedom which is welcome… it is nice to visit areas in the order you choose, even if there are only a couple at a time to pick from. The town of Little Riddle is wonderfully designed, with an overhead map showing the beautiful sunny lanes and village greens, as well as all major areas of interest. The graphics are rock solid (and so they should be, considering you never actually directly control your chosen character) with music that constantly evokes classic Hitchcockian scores. Well, the first thing you notice when you load Blue Toad Murder Files are the high production values. The first two episodes have just been released separately and also in a bundle on the PSN (for PS3)… so how do they measure up? Much like the ‘Buzz!’ games, Blue Toad Murder Files has a focus on accessibility, fun and group gaming. Blue Toad Murder Files is a new downloadable episodic gaming series from Relentless Software, perhaps most well known for their hugely popular ‘Buzz!’ series of video games.
