Day of the Tentacle Remastered

27 minutes, and 5 crashes. By the time I get to the first major scene, the game hangs. Not to mention the audio errors and broken music loops. This is a high res redraw of the same old game. Nothing special. And it seems they even managed to mess that up. Do yourself a favour, buy it on ebay (original CD) and use SCUMMVM.

And what? I do not care. I am already insomniac and I had plenty game to check in the store. I am surely disappointed but this is not related by any mean to the quality of the game, which I already know is simply among the five best point & clic game ever released. I can trace back to my childhood when I played the demo of the game. And guess what? I was a child... So despite the stunning critics of the time, I could not understand a single word of English, neither the meaning of humour or enigma... and was wondering what was those "refrigerators" with doors (time machine) in which the 3 protagonists went in. It was making me laugh already. Yes this game is universal, it can make you laugh without understanding anything, and I have now waited about 22 years to know what this is all about. So a huge thanks to Tim Schafer , double fine and gog for bringing back one, if not the best point & clic of the lucas arts golden era. This game hasn't been sold neither remastered since a very long time. That is the reason I could not play it. I could have download a pirate version of it, but this would not have been fair for me. If you tried to buy the game, some of you might have noticed, that the Secondhand price was reaching up to 160€ for the game! My mouth is already watering to savour this masterpiece of art. I have done grim fandango remastered and I have been 100% satisfied so no doubt this one should go any other way. Yes I gave it 5 stars, I haven't even played the game yet, so this will balance with the one star negative comments for the people who woke up for the release (not avalaible at 5 a.m in the morning), plus I already know this is what the game deserve for a review. 5 stars megastar on the pantheon of video game. But there is one thing which never changed, and only CD Projekt seems to have understand it. Do not put a release date on a video game, "the game will be ready when it's ready"

I've just finished the game for the first time, and I'm sitting here, shocked, at just how disappointingly dull of a game this is. I'm an adventure game fanatic. I loved working my way through King's Quest, Simon the Sorcerer, and Zork games as a kid. I've loved discovering other classics on GOG and playing them for the first time as an adult. And yet one game always alluded me. That game that every top 10 list, every history of adventure games almost religiously puts at the top as the greatest Adventure game of all time-- Day of the Tentacle. So finally, it went on sale, and I snatched it, installed it, and played it. And it was the first adventure game, in so, so long... that totally bored me. At first I thought, "Maybe this game just takes a while to get into. Maybe if I get further the plot will unfold more..." Nope. Upon finishing the game, the biggest thing I felt was relief that I could move on to a better game now. So onto specifics-- What in particular about this game was bad? --Plot. So little plot to this game. The entire goal is laid out for you in the first 5 minutes, and there's never any development beyond that. You just go on doing things because "you can", as opposed to any storyline leading you to the next thing to focus on. --Humor. Or lack thereof. The entire game was like sitting around listening to 2nd graders tell booger jokes. Every attempt at humor was sophomoric, and it was exhausting. --Characters. Everyone in this game is unlikable. They're just all annoying, unrelatable people. Except maybe the Tentacles. --Puzzles. The entire game is the same puzzle: Walk up the stairs. Use the thing. Get told you need another thing. Walk down the stairs to the toilet. Get other thing from toilet. Walk back up stairs. Rinse, repeat. Over. and over. Furthermore, many of them are pretty high on the scale of most-obtuse solutions I've encountered in adventure games. I've kind of had a childhood idol destroyed here. Weak game. Can't recommend.

Its a two hour game, a good two hours, but still...and with no replay value

This games works nice but is little old technologi. I will say Duke nukem Reloaded or Rise of the triad is much better games. Quality is better than orginal but its to old technology. Please look at: http://img15.deviantart.net/99b5/i/2006/300/c/0/day_of_the_tentacle_by_avirambo.jpg Its give much higher 3d image than this games.
