 Pay attention game companies...... January 5, 2009
Ok, finally a proper point and click adventure!!!! What is it about gaming companies where they feel a constant need to change and develop things? If it ain't broke don't fix it I say.
This game rocks on so many levels, but mainly because it is in the classical point and click style of monkey island, beneath a steel sky et al. If you make this sort of adventure game, it will sell. Why do you think they were so popular in the 80s and 90s? Because they are the most awesome sort of adventure game in many many people's opinion.
The graphics, puzzles, sounds, music, voice-acting, humour, everything about this game is blimmin' great and it would be so nice if more companies reverted to this style of game. Tell you what, why not overhaul the graphics etc on loads of retro classics like day of the tentacle, BaSS, Monkey island 1 & 2 etc? And full throttle, sanitarium, the list is massive. Make them look nicer for the fickle new generation of gamers, get them fully vista compatible and they will shift. End of rant. Drewpy out.
Best adventure game in years December 6, 2008
I just bought this game, and I think it's awesome.
This game represent old school games.
The backgound drawings, the characters, everything is 100% great.
The music in the game is "so" vampire style.
The only thing that disapoint me was that the game is too short.
I was shocked when the game suddenly said that chapter 1 was finished and end credits started to roll.
First I thought there was something wrong with the game, but I learned that chapter 2 isnt out yet.
Overall this is a very good adventure game, and it's worth every penny.
Can't wait for chapter 2!!!!!

I loved playing this game. Great humour and graphics. However, I managed to finish it in two days.
Also, I did not know that this is only the first chapter out of supposedly 3!! This was not mentioned in the product description and I was highly disappointed when the game suddenly came to an end.
Fun, funny and brilliant! November 26, 2008

If you like Grim Fandango, the Monkey Island series and The Dig, then this game is for you. The story begins with our protagonist Mona with her impertinant yet absolutely funny sidekick bat, Froderick, trying to find the means to escape the confines of Castle Warg and back to Paris.
The interface is similar to Curse of Monkey Island in which you point and click at various items and moving your character around. The background is nicely designed and the voice acting ranges from brilliant to absolutely hilarious. Unusually you can't really alter the screen resolution to the quality you want, in fact, the game plays to the resolution of your screen. (That's maybe because I was playing it on a 15.4 inch laptop).
The script in this is superb, a lot of humour that involves myself laughing to almost no end. Ingenius! Much like Grim Fandango. It is also directed by a former LucasArts worked Ben Tiller, who has done works on the Monkey Island series. This game lived up to my expectations.
The reasons why I didn't give them full marks were of two things:
1. The sound and graphics can be a bit buggy in terms of CG synching with the sounds
2. It's lastability... I managed to finish this in two days but it still feels a bit short. Don't get me wrong, it was actually a game worthy of me replaying (and that is saying a lot, not many games get that type of attention from me, only Castlevania: Aria and Dawn of Sorrow got that much replaying from me and I normally sell my games once completion).
But don't let this spoil you too much for the price you pay, it is actually really, really good value for money. I'm definitely getting a few copies as christmas gifts for a few friends I know that will definitely enjoy this game.
I can't wait for the sequel to come out, if it will come out that is, depending on whether it will get the reception it truly deserves (Shame the same couldn't be said for Psychonauts and that was awesome). You'll be a fool not to buy and play this game. And don't be afraid of the originality of games like these.
