    Kit Mystery Challenge is incredibly boring, and unless your kid has an inhuman attention span, combined with the patience of a saint and the masochism of a S&M fetishist, they just won't have fun. Go see the movie, go read the books, but don't play the game.

    The controls are so clunky it makes the game a chore to play through. Although the aspect of trying to solve mysteries in a Depression-era environment is interesting, it doesn't get represented well here, and again, I'm led to believe other mediums do this story better justice than here. It's games such as this one that contributed to THQ's demise years back.

    It is worth noting, that although repetitive, I'd say the music is a bit more atmospheric in this title than in Julie's adventure.

    Also worth noting is the 3D environments which are still not too much of an eyesore to look at when you get around the stiff controls/camera and framerate issues.    … Expand
