The title is all you need to know... this game is a masterpiece especially for us folks children of the 80s... so many references I can't even begin to bother listing them all up. Game won me over first time Betamaxes were referenced... who would have thought? Now for some more analytical review: Puzzles: very good - I got stuck a few times but managed to do it sans hints on the hard mode (which should really be called 'normal' mode to be honest). Everything was logical - and anything I got stuck at simply required some 'out of the box' thinking - which gives that much coveted 'aha!' moment. Dialogue: it's Ron Gilbert... do I need to say any more? Music: this one is somewhat lacking, the main theme is quite nice - but otherwise nothing too remarkable, still - everything fit together and it wasn't a distraction so I'm only docking half a point here. Voice: this could have gotten some improvement - many of the characters voices become samey after a while. I was going to dock half a point, but Ransome's voice is so top notch and that brings it back into balance. Overall this is a 9.5/10 for me, and you know a good game it is when I didn't get any sleep and always wanted to see what happens next. I can't wait to see what comes up next from Gilbert's and Co's mind. (perhaps a MI3, one could only hope?!?)
OMFG! I have been waiting for this hard to find title for generations!
