I have very fond memories of this game when it first release back in the mid-90s. A high quality classic point-n-click adventure FMV game. Highly recommended!
Nostalgia attack!!! These remastered editions by Double Fine from golden-era LucasArts are priceless for me. Nostalgia aside, as with DF's other remastered editions, this is not some slap-dash attempt to make money off our nostalgia. It's obvious that they put in a lot of effort restoring the game with HD graphics and nice cleaned up sound. I'm especially enjoying the HD cutscenes. The effort is clear when switching seamlessly between the the original and remastered with F1, which also shows the different aspect ratio and the new art they needed to add to fill in the widescreen. Top quality! Thank you, DF and GOG. Please continue the tradition with remastering Loom, Indiana Jones Last Crusade/Fate of Atlantis, Maniac Mansion and the other classics!
This game had ground-breaking FMV animations in its time. I distinctly remember getting it on CD when it came out. It was one of the very first games on CD-ROM after Myst. The highlight of this game are, as others have noted, not so much the gameplay itself, but the animated cutscenes, art design, its odd story, unique and well fleshed-out world and last but not least, the excellent music. Judging it by its merits (and a little nostalgia), I give it 5 stars.
This game really has no relation whatsoever with the first 2 gems in this series (Simon3D easily ignored). Painfully unfunny and badly written dialogue, terrible gameplay (stupid puzzles), no signature Simon charm or wit, boring story and dull characters. The only positive comment I could make is in the art department, i.e. colourful environments and a nice art style that fits the fairy tale nature of the subject matter. Shame for the artists' work that the rest of it is rubbish. Avoid this one.
I just purchased this with the Codemasters sale and also own a copy of the disc version. The game is easily one of Codemasters' gems. Superb controls, graphics, physics, damage model and tracks. It's got it all really. Moreover, it strikes the perfect balance between sim and arcade. One of the best racing games I've played along with Dirt 1+2.
Looking at release date of this title, initially I thought: "could be a fun little game, but probably nothing special on the technical side". How wrong I was... Technically it's quite impressive for it's time. I was especially surprised by the supported resolutions (1080p!!) and realistic physics. Excellent simulation of RC racing and fun racing in general. Highly recommended!
I had played this game many years ago, but now that I purchased here I realize I'd forgotten just how good it is. Excellent gameplay, graphics and sound. Truly satisfying combat with a great atmosphere. It's obvious where Dark Souls got its inspiration. Classic gem here. Must buy.
No need to draw it out, this game is basically a perfect platformer for anyone. Vibrant, colorful environments, high quality animation, music, varied and rich level design with secrets and unlockable abilites and characters as you progress. What else is there? So yeah, if you like fun platforming, you can't find a more superbly produced game in recent years.
Granted, it doesn't meet the quality of the classics, but it's a fun casual game. Gameplay consists mainly of timed mini-games and is repetitive, but fun with some humor. If classic adventure puzzles and Al Lowe's writing are what your looking for, then pass on this one as you'll get neither. But if you want some casual fun with boobs galore, it's a fun little game.
I just got this today and let me tell you.. I could not put it down. I finished it all in a 5 and a half hour session. As others have said it's on the short side, but the gameplay is so engrossing and original making it a pure joy to play. Excellent physics engine that encourages creativity, charming graphic style, fun puzzles, exploration with secret rooms and levels to discover, and a light-hearted atmosphere make it all worth getting. I didn't encounter a single bug. The only minor flaw were a couple spelling mistakes in the dialogue text, but that's nothing to make a fuss about. I loved it. If they make a sequel, it's a day one buy for me.
