Looks very pretty, I love this kind of games so why am I uninstalling? There is no automatic in game camera, which sounds like the developer simply wanted to save some money on polishing such feature, which, although sigh, can be accepted. What cannot be accepted is that the in game camera is only controlled by the arrow keys disregarding mouse that would be so much nicer. Then there is the unsaved progress. The progress is saved only after some time so if you only have so much time to play because, I dunno, maybe you need to work and just wanted to play for a little bit, then you are out of luck. You need to play for the specific time the developer wanted you. So nice of them :-/ Last but not least - lives? In this kind of game we still have to worry about loosing lives? OMG. I am so sorry I wasted my money on this :-(
Included Cluebook is a horrible amateurish scan of a used copy that even includes someone's notes!!! Chronicle is scanned a bit better, but still pretty bad. Manual and ref card are very ugly pdfs. The map is a photo of the cloth map which is held in place with pins - really, with PINS!!! The game is terrific of course, but the goodies are baddies at best.
Loved original. Wanted to love this one too. It is so-so. Doesn't have the same charm. The backgrounds finally move-great. Cinematic volume level cannot be adjusted so no matter how you adjust volume in the game, the cinematics will be too loud. You need to lower widows volume be4 playing. What the heck? When Abe climbs up a platform, he blends into animation that is a bit lower so it looks like he sinks. Any Q&A at all? You may loose progress by restarting chapter which also erases your quicksave-of course w/o telling you anything. There is more but I don't want to write about it.
