Mystery Case Files might be lacking in personality (sorry, bad puns don't equal personality), but it is an engaging diversion.

GameSpot
This hidden-object game introduces a number of features that work well on the DS and has a good amount of replay value.

Wired
Better break-time puzzle rounds and a story that's not throwaway filler would make a truly excellent game; this is merely a fun diversion.

Game Informer
There isn’t much to the game, but with plenty of paintings to scour, it makes for an enjoyable eye exercise.

The meat (and, hell, the bones, too) of this game is comprised of one thing: searching for a series of hidden objects. At first, this is fun in a Highlights for Children sort of way, but once you realize that it's practically all you do, it starts to get as exciting as finding your lost remote in your messy apartment.
