Interpol: The Trail of Dr. Chaos from TIK Games is a hidden object puzzle game for Xbox LIVE Arcade. While I didn’t really think it would be all that interesting I found it fairly fun though not really engrossing. In fact, it was downright lethargy-inducing at times.

The story goes that you work for Interpol and are on the trail of the notorious Dr. Chaos who recently escaped from prison. Along the way you have to nab his henchmen and then finally the Dr. So that totals up to four stages with a total of 11 locations around the globe and around 40 actual puzzles to complete. As you might expect, you look at an image and are tasked with finding specific items.

The controls are simple, use the left stick to move around the images, X to zoom, A to Select, B to return to the map and Y to get a hint. you have a limited number of hints so use them wisely grasshopper.

The graphics aren’t all that fantastic and when you zoom in you can really see the ’jaggys’ come out to bite. The game is a 68MB download for the PC so the graphics aren’t really going to be all that astounding. They say it’s 1080i but blowing up graphics just doesn’t work that well.

 Our Rating for Interpol: The Trail of Dr. Chaos Review (XBLA)
4.0
Replay
Maybe a peek here and there but I highly doubt many will play through the mostly linear game more than once.
6.0
Graphics
Poor by Xbox standards though that might have been done on purpose to make the game more difficult. Interesting artistic style though.
4.0
Sound
It’s not that the music is bad, it’s just that it puts me to sleep. Probably never have insomnia again with this around.
7.0
Gameplay
It’s mildly entertaining and the length was decent. I just had to take breaks and drink a lot of coffee to stay awake through it all.
5.0
Multiplayer
Online and local co-op still couldn’t make this game all that much more exciting, plus, could you coerce a friend into playing it with you let alone 3 friends? I’d fear them falling asleep on me.
5.3
Overall
Wow I managed to stay awake long enough to get the review done! Really not a bad game, just not an exciting one. It’s more like eyelid strengthener or a cure for insomnia.
