Remember when games were fun? Remember when you had to use wit to solve them? Tony Tough is remincent of those old Sierra style games like Kings Quest and Day of the Tentacle. It's a comical adventure game where you play a nerdy detective named Tony Tough. It can be frustrating at times as some of the plot elements you have to solve can be rather 'creative' however the hilarious dialogue and incredible attention to detail make the game addictive. The interface is also clean and well designed. It's a game for the whole family laced cleverly with some adult humor(Shrek style, nothing too crude) to keep it funny on all levels. Educational as well as highly literate dialogue. Lots of humor and quirky characters. Tony Tough and the Night of Roasted Moths is definately a few steps ahead in creativity and design. I recommend it to anyone who appreciates depth and detail in a game.

Not the worst game I've ever played, but close

Ever played a game that locked up on you so often it was infuriating? Or whose puzzles made absolutely no sense? This is almost that game.

If you leave this game running for a few minutes while you attend to Real Life, it will lock up. So save often.

If you are looking for clear objectives and interesting, rational (at least in afterthought) solutions to puzzles, don't play this. You'll spend most of the time wandering about, having no idea what you should be doing. Even when you have correctly figured out what to use to solve a puzzle, it will take you several tries. If a clue ever is given, ignore it, it's a red herring (eggcups anyone?). There are things sitting right in the open that you can't pick up until you've followed the exact right (and interminable) conversation tree. Eventually, you will be reduced to randomly trying everything in your inventory with everything you find, only to discover the solution makes no sense (the boar's foot opens the box?! Why?!!).

And as for this being a family game...only if you enjoy listening to cuss words with your kids (very few of them, but still) and want to explain to your kids what a centerfold is, and are looking for repititious bodily function jokes and ways to be cruel to animals.

I hate to be so negative, because there were some intriguing aspects to this game. It could have been good. But it isn't. The two or three minutes of entertainment value are far outweighed by the frustration level. My advice is, don't buy this game.

Waste of time and money.

I bought this game because I thought it might be like Day of the Tentacle or Sam and Max Hit the Road, which I played when I was younger. Instead, it's very unpleasant and not at all funny. The voice acting is intentionally terrible; the protagonist voice is nasal and he's very unlikable. He's supposed to be a pitiful detective that's mocked by his peers, but as I played I wanted to not only mock him but to murder him as well.

The game itself is boring, but easy to play. There are no surprising twists, no creativeness, and no excitement. It's a generic game trying to be funny and failing with every attempt. Also, the music is bad.

Tough as nails. Corny as Jiffy.

Nice and humorous adventure game. Reminds me of the days i would be up till 3AM with Kings' Quest. Realtively attractive graphics. Few minor problems with speech synching. Sometimes the humor is sophomorish, but usually well-delivered. Not too complicated a program, though you may find yourself a little confused at first about what you have to do. Especially if you're a third-person adventure rookie. This program takes for granted the fact some may not be familliar with the different facets of free-roaming graphic adventures. Otherwise, the program runs smooth on a very low-end system. I have come across very few , and very minor, glitches involving a lock-up (during the point where i was changing the graphic resolution fron 640x480 to 1024x768 ) and one point where i lost sound entirely. But, a reboot fixed that, and it never happenned again. Overall, a nice game with few problems. I enjoyed it almost as much s i wanted too.

Tony Tough brings back memories.

Tony Tough is like a game I used to play and love. Day of the Tentacle was a classic, this might surpass it. Tony Tough has user friendly controls and will make you laugh. I highly reccomend this title to anyone who wants a fun time.

Tony Tough - Great Family Game!

Tony Tough is easily the funniest game our family has played this year! It is a good old-fashioned adventure, puzzle solving game that would appeal to anyone who is sick of all of the mindless violence prevalent in todays brainless video games.

Tony is a mild mannered private eye who is looking for his kidnapped pet. Almost the entire game takes place in a carnival which in fun it itself as we then get to meet a cast of zany clowns, beardled woman, pirates, vendors and other carnival characters. For those who are not too good with adventure games, there are also 2 levels of play. So if you were to beat the game on easy level, you could then play on the harder level for extra puzzles and added gameplay.

Definately would be a welcome addition to anyones game library.

Tony Rocks

Interesting Game with a lot of laughs. Sometimes borders on being an older title that takes time to get use to again. However, once up and running, the puzzles kick in and the game develops its own pace of problem solving. Tony is as good as you want it to be.

WOW, just finished

and my mind is numb. This is a funtastic game. The dialogue is hysterical, and the puzzles are entertaining, sometimes a little out there and challenging. There were plenty of interactive characters to keep me involved in this adventure game. If your looking for a humorous game, I would highly recommend you play this game.

Meh..

This game was a disappointment. I was told that the game had an awesome musical score (which it didn't), that the gameplay was fun(it was tedious) and that the jokes were funny (they weren't).
Perhaps I expected to much after having played similar games with this type of style (ie, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max, etc). But this game really didn't hit the mark. I only finished it hoping it would get better, but it really didn't. The ending might possibly be the worst part.

Not recommended.
