Death on the Nile: Complete & Unabridged - Agatha Christie

Death on the Nile - Deathly Boring

Advantages: Used up a couple of hours on an otherwise dull Sunday
Disadvantages: Nothing challenging about it

I've played a few of Agatha Christie's puzzle games, one of which involved Hercule Poirot and I really enjoyed them. This one however I found dreadfully poor and I'm not really sure what the creators were thinking of when they dreamt it up. Overview You take on the role of Poirot who must investigate a murder on board a cruise ship sailing up the Nile. Features * 14 suspects to interrogate * 12 investigation levels * 24 rooms with hidden clues * Mini games System Requirements * Windows 98 or above * 600MHz CPU * 128 RAM * 57MB Free Disk Space * Direct X 6 or above My Thoughts With all the other puzzle games I've played there's also been a bit of video play to go with them. That's probably not the right technical term, but I mean that Poirot for example would wander around looking for clues ...

Review of Agatha Christie Death on the Nile (PC)

There is indeed Death on the Nile!

Advantages: Wonderful cast, great to look at
Disadvantages: None that I can think of!

BACKGROUND Agatha Christie is the most popular crime writer in history, her books selling more than two billion copies worldwide- she is undoubtedly the 'queen of crime.' It has been estimated that she has been outsold only by the Bible and William Shakespeare. Written in 1937, 'Death on the Nile' is as popular today as it has ever been.

It is this actual knowledge of the Egyptian area that makes the book so readable, and easy to translate onto the big screen. I was always a fan of Agatha Christie novels, having read 'Death on the Nile' when I was around eleven. I was immediately interested when I saw a copy of the 1978 classic ...

Review of Agatha Christie's Death On The Nile (DVD)

To Egypt and to death

Advantages: Rich, sumptuous setting
Disadvantages: Some characters a little over the top

characters are way too over the top though. This is just one of the many adaptations of Agatha Christie's Poirot starring David Suchet. Thank goodness it is not the last. David Suchet will be a hard actor to replace. Highly recommended. I have seen the film version of this adaptation, but the DVD is available from Amazon for £12.99 . The DVD is also available as part of a collection of Poirot adaptations starring David Suchet, published by Agatha Christie Limited (A Chorion Company). Death on the Nile is the first adaptation available and is available for an introductory price of just ₤2.99 from most newsagents for a DVD and a magazine with information about the film, actors and Agatha Christie herself. I haven't seen the magazine, but the DVD alone has to worth that price! ...
