Ace Ventura
Windows version
Crazy detective on the trail of good humor
The Good
Ace Ventura - "Pet Detective", is an interesting movie character. Mix Doctor Doolittle, patient from psychiatric hospital, and the classical clichés schemes detective still entertains. And not just in the movies - game is very funny!
But...ad rem. This is classic adventure point'n'click. Ave Ventura, detective from movies has some new adventures.
In game, we can see new places (for example, Nautilus - Captain Nemo's submarine .Now submarine fell into the hands of Frenchman who has extreme megalomania.)
A little bit of puzzles included in the game. This is a common task for adventure, in the form of the "find the item / use the object in a certain place"
Puzzles generally are of the high level, and are quite "logical", of course, if the use of electric eel as a power source is logical.
Dialogues are really worth listening. Ace always says something funny, anyway, the other characters we meet are also unusual. In addition, there are guest starring well-known individuals from the film - grumpy owner of the apartment rented by Ventura, or hippie friend, commissioned him with the mission via the Internet. In addition, Ace has a monkey - pet sometimes helps, but it has no character of typical cooperation.
At last, I like graphic in Ace - the game still looks great despite 17 years
The Bad
Just three minuses I see in this game. List is short:
1 I really don't like Ace's polish voice, is exaggerated and EXTREMELY annoying.
2 Some riddles in the game are to wacky. In some places do not always know what to do.
3 Game has arcade elements. they are quite simple, but cannot be avoid. I play point and click, right? This means I don't want see skill elements.
Disadvantages are not large - game is still very funny - but little disturb.
The Bottom Line
Ace Ventura is a very good adventure - practically time doesn't work.
I recommend game to all fans of the genre. Go with a monkey to save endangered animals, laughing at the same time. Too bad the game did not get a sequel.
