Despite all the bad reviews i bought this game, since i´m a big fan of Simon the Sorcerer. Unfortunately, the game crashes right after the start, when the kid opens the book. That money was wasted. I´ll play the original again and forget this piece of crap.
My first reaction to the intro-sequence was just: WOW! Like Tex is flying through a better "Blade Runner" Intro ... The Game makes you feel home. Not only that, you return to an improved, more modern,more convenient home. The humor, the graphics (while very much improved) and even the cast feels like good old family members have come by for a visit. Until now i have only played the Demo and my first two hours of the released game, but boy, i can tell you, it´s the best Tex ever! Nice: Tex remembers things from the old games (even Mean Streets and Martian Memorandum) and you´ll see Clips out of these fine Games. I really hope this game will be the start of at least a new trilogy of Tex Adventures. I´ll sure buy them all! Thanks, Tex, for making me feel a bit younger!
