King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow

The Good
There were 2 years separating this game and its predecessor, King's Quest 5, a game which was criticized by many, even though it was one of the first to introduce a mouse-driven interface. Because of all that criticism, it's no wonder Sierra decided to go "back" to what had been successful in the past - somewhat anyway.

The graphics, as others pointed out, are stunning. I found the music lovely and so very romantic. (We females tend to like mushy love stories, ya know.) I simply adore plots about heroes saving damsels in distress. This hero is handsome and the princess is beautiful. What good looking children they will make! And ... oooh ... the ending - you must see the ~kiss~. I remember getting goosebumps watching it. I was satisfied knowing they would live "happily ever after."

The Bad
I played KQ6 when it was new, so it is hard to remember. I don't recall anything about it I didn't like.

The Bottom Line
If you long for a classic tale of love and honor, this game's for you! This is the last game in the series that retained the original look and feel of the originals. Recommended for adults and children alike, it would make a fine addition to any collection.

The Good
Everything about this game is entertaining, the graphics and sounds are much improved from KQ5 and Roberta has once again, successfully created and placed you in a weird Alice In Wonderland kind of fantasy land. I still pull this game out every once in awhile to replay it because of it timelessness. Sierra continued to use the point and click interface that worked very well with KQ5. Basically, I love everything about this game. The storyline, the graphics, the sound, the gameplay, the environment and atmosphere. Totally classic Roberta Williams, excellent 6th installment of the King's Quests series!

The Bad
Absolutely nothing! Aside from the usual having to refer to the manual for in-game copy protections, the game is flawless. I did experience some event-trigger bugs but usually after reloading and tripping the event again, it would work.

The Bottom Line
One of the most fun and entertaining King's Quests ever created.. If you enjoyed any other of the King's Quests, this one will not let you down. Full of fun puzzles and characters to interact with, this game will forever be a classic!

The Good
Sierra (In my opinion) make the best adventure of the lot. Sierra finds a style , and sticks with it. Kings Quest 6 came with the familiar task bar , decent graphics , (mostly) bug free that you can usually expect from Sierra.

The only real good thing i can say about this game was that it was to the point and easy to understand. You didnt have to remember a great deal , just find the unusual items and try to work them together somehow.

In nutshell = Challenging - Interesting - Good to kill a few days with.

The Bad
Too childish , having stupid characters fresh out of alice in wonderland really doesnt do it for me.

Doesnt take itself seriously enough. To many in-game jokes making fun of both you (player) and the game. You cant get into the game properly when you have constant reminders that the game is considered a joke by the designers.

No King Graham! Who cares about his son? Although having Alexander rather than Rosella (kings quest 4) is more favourable.

After playing kings quest 5 , kings quest 6 is like a bad movie sequel, where none of the original actors want a part of it.

The Bottom Line
Barely memorable. Not worth more than ten bucks.
