Nightlong: Union City Conspiracy

The Good
Set in a Blade Runner like future, where animals in zoos are only robotic recreations, you play an investigator helping out an old friend. From breaking into apartments and terrorist compounds to swinging across a subway line, this game has a true action feel absent in most adventure games. The locations you enter are well designed and the characters are great. Good voice acting. Hopefully more of these will come out.

The Bad
My number one pet peeve in games is when designers throw in parts that just add length to game play. In some games that would be complicated jumping puzzles or endless mazes. In Nightlong, they have an algebra problem. There might be some way to circumvent this, but after hours of thrilling gameplay, I had to sit down and solve for x and y. Arrggghhh.

The Bottom Line
This game was actually very cool. It does have that Blade Runner cyberpunk noirish feel, but the story is great and most of the puzzles are logical. Great graphics and characters too.
