Hey daedalic, put back the French voices & subtitles. It's a pain for the youngsters who aren't fluent with English.
Also, I don't like the ending :-)
The graphics, music, and gameplay are all very good in this game. The cartoon style is vibrant and the game animation is very smooth (although, strangely, the animation in the cutscenes between acts is less well done. The animation in them is choppy and the quality is just somewhat poor; one bad guy we see there is literally nothing but a badly drawn mouth). The gameplay is classic point n' click with some fun and challenging puzzles. HOWEVER...
The voice acting (in the English version) is absolutely horrible. None of it is very good, but the main character is terrible... the worst. He sounds almost exactly like Adam Sandler doing his squeaky Waterboy voice. It's terrible. LUCKILY, the game has the option of turning off voices and going text-only. I actually liked that, and I assume most GOG usuals will too, but anyway you should be warned; I've yet to meet anyone who has ever made it all the way through this game with the voice acting turned to ON.
Be prepared for one of the best stories been told in computer entertainment. Be prepared for a mind-trip through concepts and puzzles that make you feel full. The main problem of adventures nowadays is not the graphics or the gameplay. It is the type of puzzles. Here you find puzzles that are embedded to the story, that are challenging. It is a game you will enjoy for one week or more. It is a game that brings you back to the Adventure.
Yeah, intriguing story at first, great graphics, tough-as-nails puzzles you can solve with extra effort. Gets you to care about Sadwick and his worm. Gets you really worked up and excited for the climax. . . and then drops a stinking load of COP-OUT CRAP ON YOUR HEAD!
Painfully, dreadfully cliche. For shame, for shame, for shame. Why do people still keep doing endings like this?
