Starts very strong, finishes weak
This game had me hooked at the beginning with an excellent opening sequence and an exciting cutscene after your first solved puzzle, but the ending seemed rushed. The game occurs in four levels. On the top level, you're greeted with interesting puzzles and ideas (assembling your own robot and having him access areas you can't) and good humor ("routine inspection, eh? certainly sounds unusual to me!"). On the next level, the puzzles become less well-thought-out, but there's still some good humor especially involving elevator insurance. The ground floor is where things begin to fall apart. Puzzles require little imagination, characters are introduced that have no purpose, and there is a sequence thrown in for comedic relief only, except it's not funny. When you're underneath the city, you can practically feel the management at Revolution telling the programmers they're over budget and they need to finish the game. Getting to the final scene requires solving a very inane puzzle, and the final scene itself falls far short of the introduction. It reminded me of Watchmen, the graphic novel. Fantastic beginning, but the climax was just weird and somewhat uninteresting. Maybe I'll check out the Broken Sword games from this company now. Overall: 3 stars (in comparison with other games on this site) plus 1 star for being free
