Good adventure, some flaws.

The game is a good little adventure game, although somewhat illogical puzzle solving/progress at specific times. This illogic approach can provide frustrations on how to advance however and due to the dated graphics, some things can be easy to overlook and also help add to the frustration. However most of the time you forget these frustrations fast and if you ever were into adventure games, this game is absolutely worth the download and the time it takes to complete. It isn't terrible long, but the hours are mostly well spend. The humor in the game is the main selling point in my opinion. It is very well done, a lot of the time with great Monty Pyton-esque timing and some funny sequences which can make you laugh out loud. So definitely worth the download and trying it out. If nothing else for the "nostalgia" or simply to try out an iconic game in the genre. Be vigilant player one.

A classic, but...

I was never much into adventure games and this one remembered me the reasons why - it represents all the bad things and lacks some of the good things of this genre. cons: 1) pixel-hunting: Several times an important item is easy to miss as it is some 2px small (piece of putty on ground, lightbulb socket in wall etc.). Some items are so indistinguishable on the background you will have hard time finding them (pliers on wall) 2) illogical actions: See that item? Just pick it up and don't ask why! 3) meaningless unrelated scenes: Would you like to acces that area? Just visit the guy over there and the area will open for no clear reason. 4) death: There are several possibilities to die so zou have to save often. Some death scenes can be avoided only by try/fail sequence, some require speedy searching with your mouse around the screen to avoid, some contain dialogs that explains a little of the world background so you should see them. 5] length: It is possible to finish the game during one cloudy autumn saturday. pros: 1) nice classic graphics: Hand-drawn graphics, resolution 320×200 px and 265 colours - this is the settings for an adventure game! 2) voices: Different accents, good acting. 3] story: The plot is good although you will not enjoy it until you finish the game and sum it up.

Story is a great mishmash of Blade Runner and Brazil, but the puzzles and the logic therein leave a LOT to be desired

The setting is great, really convincing and easy to get immersed in. The storyline is interesting and seems to have the right balance of questions and answers so far. My biggest problem with the game is how the puzzles are as obscure and ridiculous as you may expect from this sort of game but what makes matters worse is you're usually not even sure what you're meant to be doing. Let's say in another P&C, you may be facing a difficult puzzle but you know it's something that will let you cross a gap or open a door. In BASS it's usually not clear what you're meant to be doing next, so you have absolutely no idea if you're even in the right area - are you stuck on a puzzle because you don't have all the items, or is it just that this area isn't actually a puzzle; you're just in the wrong place? And then *later*, it might just be a puzzle... This problem is compounded by the fact that there are 3 major levels to the city and each level is made up of many screens with many rooms going off each level. So say you're guessing that you're meant to be opening that door, getting into that room, fixing that robot, whatever... You have no idea where to look for that item or piece of information. You'll also often get items or info WAY before they're relevant and again, in another P&C this isn't such a problem because you know what your next objective is - in BASS you have an inventory of items that may be used on about 50 screens worth of objects, and you have no way of knowing which. It gets 4 stars for its great setting, sense of humour, characterisation of even the most incidental characters and the imagination and thought that's clearly gone into its creation. All those qualities redeem it almost back up to 5 stars in the face of incredibly vague objective and disappointing puzzles. Final thought: Normally when I check a FAQ when I'm stuck, I think "Of course!" but in this I was always thinking "... Right. How the hell was I supposed to know I was meant to go like 30 screens away to show that item to that guy at that particular moment?"

Interesting And Fim

This game was released during the domination of Lucasart's point-&-click games, and while it wasn't compared favourably with them, it can certainly hold its own with the best. Okay the graphics are clunky, but the backdrops are detailed, the story quirky - going from serious to humourous very easily - and quite possible a cult classic in computer gaming. It's only let down really is the constant need to have some words of the dialouge in capitals even when they aren't being stressed; can can get rather annoying, especially since sometimes the speech is garbled back either background sounds or just plain bad recording at the time. Still, these are flaws that can be over looked and the game enjoyed nevertheless.
