Runaway: A Road Adventure

dissapointing

Being a fan of this type of game and the graphical style i was very excited when i saw gog had this game. First the good points of this game. The graphics are really nice, lovely and bright, nicely animated (aside from the lip syncing). Some of the characters are pretty good, the drag queens steal the show. Its pretty amusing, it never makes me laugh out loud (for a good reason) and the story is.....okay at best. Now the bad. The worst thing about it is the illogical puzzels, they are more frustrating than anything and i found myself just loosing patience and looking the answers up in the walkthrough, not feeling guilt as i would have never thought to do what it requires. For example, i had to mix penut butter in a army helmet, from butter and penuts, fair enough. BUT i had an actual jar of penut butter in the inventory WHAT WAS THE POINT. Some ojects are so small and hard to find you could go over the whole area for hours and still miss things, and some objects wont let you find them until something activates them, so you have to go over and over places incase something turns up. The puzzels that work are good and if you had the patience to try every random item with everything you see you would proboly eventualy get through the whole game without a walkthrough. Broken sword this game isnt, and oh yes it trys so hard to be it. Even the main character is an obvious copy of george. Looks, voice and personality. This isnt a bad game and at this price its no rip off but your going to need the patience of a saint.
