The Inner World

Im not a compliments guy but it's good if you have the money play it

Not sure about great reviews here. I had to have the walk through the entire time. The story meandered and seemed forced. I mean....REALLY random. I have a high tolerance for that in point and clicks. Worth the price I guess since I always compare these to the price of a Hollywood movie.

A fantastic story and excellent characterization is brought down by uninspired puzzles, poor presentation, lack of interaction and rushed production values. Really falls apart towards the end and feels somewhat unfinished and underdeveloped. If you like good stories and don't mind poor payoffs and inconsistent presentation then this is for you, otherwise don't bother.

WAY better than usual, in point of fact. What's more, this game is NOT misogynistic. I don't know where anyone came up with that idea. The girl in the story is OBVIOUSLY way smarter and more practical than the guy with the whistle nose to start with - AND HE IS CONSTANTLY SAYING SO. My particularly "liberated" mother doesn't find this game objectionable, and she is definitely observant/aware enough of such issues to tell. When asked, she was not only incredulous that anyone had labeled this "misogynistic", it is her stated opinion that only a feminazi's feminazi (amongst REAL feminazis, which is a vanishingly small population to begin with regardless of Rush Limbaugh's opinion on the matter) would find it so. Honestly, the real brains in this game belong to the woman and the guy is pretty much of a dumb bell, though a nice, pleasant, KINDLY dumb bell. Get real. IT'S A GAME. Expend your energies on things like professional women (and I DON'T mean street walkers) on TV portrayed with their boobs falling out at the office and nonsense like over endowed scantily clad female warriors who ought to be a mass of scars or, more likely, DEAD, if they actually went into battle wearing only a chain mail bikini. There's nothing in this vein to see here. Move along now. (Have wishlisted the sequel).

What a dreadful game. How it got such effusive reviews, I have no idea, because there's no enthusiasm or life in the characters of the game -- the voice acting is so dull that I found myself drifting off to sleep, whilst solving the uninteresting (and uninterestingly assigned) puzzles. The voice performance for the main character is so dreary that you lose interest in interacting with him, and the other characters' lines are read monotonously by rote, so what start out as not-very-funny jokes become annoying, rather than being even mildly amusing. Did these people never play DOTT, Sam & Max, or any of the other Scumm games that defined the genre and style that they appear to be trying to emulate? It would seem not, because they've produced a game that will give me more pleasure in forgetting all about it, than playing it did. They should be forced to play gems like Outcast, 24/7 for a few months, to learn how to make characters talk and behave.
