Tony Tough and the Night of Roasted Moths
Windows version
Never Has a Game Been So Funny...I Don't Think?
The Good
I loved the cartoon layout of this game, and I especially loved the humour - toilet and black. Tony Tough was extremely funny, and the puzzles were great too. You get to choose between Easy mode and Hard, obviously I chose Easy but it was fun and witty never-the-less. The character lines within Tony Tough had me in hysterics all night long, and the animations within the game were of a very high standard. I think I preferred this game to Grim Fandango.
The Bad
Well, with most adventure games, you have to scroll through the dialogues for clues etc. to help you, in Tony Tough's case, I'm sure half of these dialogues were to waste your time, even though some were quite funny. One hint in the game is to not listen to the poems the caged monkey has to say, they go on forever. Another thing I didn't like was the map that you used to get around...It was extremely difficult to see where you are going!! This defeats the purpose of even having a map!
The Bottom Line
I recommend this game to any Adventure Point-and Click game lover. It is extremely entertaining with it's puzzles, jokes and incessant mocking of the protagonist, Tony Tough. I recommend it for people over the age of 16 though, some of the lines and scenes content is rather suggestive...
