As a backer I have played part one and can say the love and care that has gone into this game is amazing. It looks beautiful, has top voice acting and the wonderful writing of Tim. I will say that part one is generally too easy, particularly those, like me, who eat adventure games for breakfast. But for many, this will be the perfect adventure game, as it wont frustrate the newbie. For myself I finished Part One in about 2 hours and I adored every moment. I cant wait for Part two, especially as Tim has promised to make part two a bit harder.
I am sorry to say how much this game has disappointed me and the fact that Jon Hare is behind it makes me sadder than you could know... Its the graphics that really upset a 100 times worse than the original artist ( Eric Matthews -bring him back please). No longetivity... I still own Speedball 2 on CD32 and that is so much better... All Jon had to do take that game and graphics (also sound) and then build up the multi player and logetivity aspect and you would have the hit this game should be. Loved the idea of different pitches though... as it stands though this is another shameful cash in on Speedball and the fact it was done by Sensible Software's Jon hare is simply shameful.
