I played Both of their games, I hope they come out sooner with the final
episode, really funny.
we had a ball playing them.

Good game, great graphics, a bit short, needed more polish.

This is a good game, with gorgeous graphics, but it was really simple, and, with the exception of a few puzzles that made no sense and passed through trial & error, it was a lot of fun.
The biggest problem is that it's just a tad too short. In some areas, especially at the end, it felt rushed through, like the developers ran out of time and preferred shooting scenes rather than giving you puzzles.
A bit bloody and a few dead people, so it's not for young kids, in case anyone wonders.

headed in the right direction

i loved this game....great color and graphics ...cool puzzles...i personally dont mind pixel hunting as long as you can pick it up when your cursos is on it,and this seemed fine here..but there was some tough ones...this game is a must play.Im not into games like barrow hill too much..they are ok but have that dark non sparkling kind of adventure...i like the clear bright colors in this game..it makes it fun to pixel hunt and stare at your screen for hours...you gotta buy this and runaway 2

Is this really for "everyone" ?

I do not own this game. I did however look at the pictures provided with the description, the ones with the naked women sunbathing etc. I most certainly would not want MY 6 year old playing this game. I don't feel the content would be appropriate for that age group at all. Call this mom a prude.....that's ok, but this is what is wrong with our children today !!!

Buggy Game

This game is very nice but you will be lucky if you finish it. It is full of bugs and crashes continuously. I gave up at chapter 3.

This game is such a disappointment. I was so looking forward to another adventure game, and had heard mixed reviews about this one. But I thought, some of my favorite games weren't exactly critical darlings (I admit it, I liked The Dig, so shoot me). Unfortunately, I should have listened to the negative reviews. This is a pretty big lemon. The only bright spot is maybe the graphics. The graphics are beautiful, I'll give it that (hence a slight improvement in the rating). But the story is lame, many of the puzzles are illogical and stupid, the humor falls incredibly flat (maybe that's due to the fact that the original version was in Spanish), there is pixelhunting galore, and it's exceptionally boring.

Perhaps if the game took itself less seriously (a la Monkey Island), the puzzles would have seemed less out of place and silly (SPOILER ALERT: lipstick bullets, anyone? melting peanuts?). The characters are rarely charming and interesting, even the embarrassingly unfunny Pricilla Queen of the Desert knockoff characters. Props to the designers for including some diversity in the game, but I've met drag queens, and I've yet to meet one quite so cringe-worthy and witless. If you go ahead and purchase this game, expect to roll your eyes at the many lame stabs at humor in this largely (intentionally) humorless game.

In short: save your money and don't buy this game or buy used (as cheap as you can possibly find) if you are still curious. Most adventure fans, I believe, will find this game to be a waste of time and money.

A pleasent stroll down memory lane

In this fitting stylistic tribute to the full throttle days of old, this game does warm hearts of adventure gamers everywhere simply by it's emulation of the stylized portrayal of characters and locations along the lines of a lucas arts adventure..Pretty soon however it becomes apparent that the wit and bite that the former company possessed, this one does not..A hopefull premise gives way to the usual gaming devices, included with the usual lack of personality...

yeah right

I bought this game after reading other reviews saying that gameplay wasn't that great but still good. When I got the game a review on the outside compared it to the "Monkey Island" series and I thought, "this is great, I loved the monkey island games." I guess whoever made that comparison only took a brief look at the game. While the graphics are similar to the 3rd installment in the monkey island series, any other comparisons, except saying this is far inferior, are way off mark.
This is not an adventure game so much as it is an interactive movie. I'd say the cutscenes (which I couldn't figure out how to skip) made up more than 50% of the time I spent on this game. The puzzles were few in number and like others have mentioned, Brian refuses to put stuff in his inventory unless he really knows he needs it. On top of this, the voice acting was well below par and by the end I turned the subtitles on and my speakers off to get away from the whining of the main character.
If you're looking for a somewhat entertaining, short interactive movie this is it; if you're looking for a good adventure game, keep looking this isn't one.

Oh dear...

Quite simply... this game is utter drivel. Everything from the badly animated 3D characters, to the unengaging puzzles to the absurd dialogue makes this game a complete waste of time! Avoid it like the plague...
