The graphic is not the best I have seen, in fact it looks like one of the characters from Jones in the Fast Lane have got a new job and a new name. However the game makes up for it with extremely good gameplay and story!

Aventura y Cía
Countdown es un buen exponente de las aventuras de Access, y en general de un tipo de aventura algo más seria. Además pertenece a un género, el de espionaje, que no ha sido tratado demasiadas veces en la aventura, y consigue, pese a cumplir con casi todo el canon de "qué no debe tener una aventura", que te intereses por una historia, por sus personajes, y por cómo va a terminar todo.

Power Play
Das wahr wohl nix. Bei Countdown krankt's an mehreren Stellen. Die Bilder sind hübsch, aber ziemlich unpraktisch: Ist das Ding am Boden ein Schlüssel? Ist's ein Messer? Oder nur ein Schatten? Zweitens fallen die Konversationen ziemlich bescheuert aus - bis man alle Kombinationen durch hat, ist man um Jahre gealtert. Von den Animationen will ich erst gar nicht reden: Fußkrank ist noch das mildeste Attribut für dieses Gehoppel. Auch die Puzzles sprühen nicht gerade vor Originalität. Zu guter Letzt gibt's mit "Rise of the Dragon" ein vergleichbares Spiel, das aber um Klassen mehr Spielwitz besitzt.
