Previously, the Cluedo DVD Game had been released in the UK in October 2005, shortly followed by a French edition.

Both of these VCR games were published in the mid to late 1980s.The box explains: "The DVD brings you inside Tudor Mansion where Inspector Brown is waiting with information on events of the day.

And keep that Red Reader close at hand... there are secrets in these cases and information you'll need to decipher.

With some work, these mysteries may be played in full using the files found on the DVD: TheArtOfMurder wrote, "Overall, this is a lovely game, but the animation could have been so much better.

It described "the system used to make sure the DVD knows which cards are in the envelope, movement on the board and through secret passages, the locked doors, [and] the butler" as "fantastic" and "elegant".

All of my problems with the original Clue game have been solved, and the DVD enhances the experience, rather than overwhelming it.

[12] Its sales rank was #45797 in Toys & Games, and it was considered "one of the best seller product in marketing today".
