Here we go again.. Boxville
Oh man, I do love some Boxville! Glad they put out a second adventure. I'd say that this one is two step forwards and one step back... which is still a step in the right direction! We have a much larger world here for better and for worst. It starts out playing like a more traditional point and click adventure game.. we have a bunch of areas linked together with lots of variables to try to piece together. Along with some logic puzzles that require some pretty solid head scratching. Then you go off on a sort of adventure. Which is sort of fun, but the problem is each chapter of your journey is only a handful of rooms, with only two or three items max it seems... Instead of trying to figure out how to piece things together, you are generally playing a little mini game... like Battleship... or Ro Sham Bo (sp?). This is still fun, but it sort of takes away from what they had going with the early point and click adventure dynamic. This also makes some areas fly by in an instance, which seems a bit sad as the art is so nice, I would love to be forced to stick around it for longer! It took about 4.5 hours with no hints or walkthroughs, so it's a nice little jaunt through the park. I'd love to see a third one! Perhaps with a built out badguy... and instead of just on some vast adventure, keep it in one city and really get some coherant world building going. Go Boxville!
