I cried after the very last mystery, Curtain, aired because I didn't want to say goodbye. In terms of adaptations, I adore David Suchet's Poirot because he captures these elements of the character so well.
His exasperation with Hastings as their personalities clash and then his warmth towards him make me value that partnership too. He isn't ridiculous but there's an oddness to him that makes me smile and causes me to feel fond. There's a touch of vanity, a love of comfort and a kind of obsessive regard for his sensitive stomach. He's incredibly intelligent, but he's also rounded out by little foibles. Agatha Christie writes great mysteries generally but the fastidious Belgian has a real pull on my heart. To start off I wanted to explain why I love Poirot stories so much.
So does the full game succeed where the snippet failed? Here's Wot I Think: The overall impression was of a studio trying to make a murder mystery story into a game and adding a lot of superficial interactivity. The art style felt pleasant and the extra points for behaving as Poirot would were a nice touch, but the puzzles were straightforward and you weren't really playing as Poirot. When I wrote about the preview snippet of Agatha Christie - The ABC Murders I wasn't sure what to make of it.
