Summary
Nice storyline and setting, but not worth the frustration from the puzzles.
The Good
This was a pretty good game, if for no other reason than the story and the setting. And while it had its humorous moments, it was not nearly as silly as other Lucasarts games.
The graphics weren't spectacular, but were nice for a game of its time. It used the cartoonish animation style that Lucasarts had been using in its other games, but it was a bit more "realistic".
The voice acting and music was superb, in my opinion.
Also, there were two endings to this game - both were a success, but one is "good" and "not so good", depending on your actions in the final scene.
The Bad
Some of the puzzles were insane; I think everyone's least favorite must be the turtle skeleton puzzle. On the plus side, it was a bit amusing when you would reassemble the turtle in
almost the right order ... the first time. The next five or ten times, it isn't so funny.
The inventory puzzles were just as bad; I swear, if I hear "I can't use these things together"
one more time...
The Bottom Line
A fun story, up until you get about halfway through it, and hit some of the more frustrating puzzles. At that point, you can probably guess how the game would end.
