Summary
A truly magnificent game which comes close to perfection.
The Good
The sequel to the even-more-magnificent
Eco Quest: The Search for Cetus is one of the best adventure games I have ever played. Even when you ignore the educational aspect of the game it is still one of the best around, providing amazingly long and satisfying gameplay for anyone.
The graphics in this game are magnificent, beautifully drawn and colourful (just have a look at the jungle screenshot). The music (though not done by
Chris) is simply magnificent and is even better if you have a General MIDI sound card (no? get a cheap second-hand AWE32 or whatever). The interface is Sierra, so what can possibly be wrong?
Most importantly, however, is the gameplay itself. This is one of the best adventure games I've ever played, with many puzzles and riddles and excellent value, and every aspect of the game blends into a true masterpiece of adventure classic.
The Bad
The scenery sometimes look blocky, as though it was scanned and added to the game (which is, actually, a possibility).
Also, it only has replay value after a year or two, when you can't really remember much about it.
The Bottom Line
An excellent, classic adventure game which was largely overlooked.
