A Good Game with Some Flaws
I love adventure games. I grew up playing the Lucas Arts classics and Sierra titles and this is definitely a good game that can stand amongst them. The story is about April Ryan living in a corporate future and the very odd occurrences that happen to her thereafter. The story is engaging and really draws you in with its interesting characters and locals. In particular, the little details interested me as you learn about the places you visit and engage in conversation. The game is humorous despite it's bleak locales and I was laughing on many occasions. However, the ending for many people (myself included) is a let down. The puzzles are logical and well thought out and I was never stuck for very long. This isn't a game where outlandish efforts are needed to solve a puzzle. A few you need to use your brain and are quite enjoyable. The first of my complaints is that they use the same voice actor far too often. Some of the characters are absolute hoots and I enjoyed every second talking to them but some are voiced by the same voice actor and it is very apparent that it is the same person. Two characters are actually voiced in the exact same voice with no changes and things like that break immersion. I wish they had tried a little harder in this respect. Another of my complaints against the games is that it is not particularly good looking; some would even call it ugly. The game is old and made when 3D games first started being made so I excuse the graphics somewhat. I wish they had went with something that would better stand the test of time. My last complaint is that the game appears rushed. The opening location is great and interesting and so is the location after that but then you go to another where a whole civilization appears to be represented by a single person. You then go to another civilization and meet the same voice actors you've heard before and aren't human but they might as well be by the way they are portrayed. A few characters you get attached to are also never seen again. I wish they had taken more effort to bring these people and places alive and use those we have a connection with better. All in all it is a good game and I enjoyed playing it. My criticisms are the result of really liking the game and wishing it had been put together a little better. Buy the game and you won't be disappointed though you may, like I, wish they had changed a few aspects.
