Unfortunately, not a good game

1954: Alcatraz (computer game)

Customer Review

The game is no direct hit and otherwise below average as I feel other Adventures.

Positive highlight sinmd the professional setting and the pretty gezeichenten backgrounds. The figures and animations are in turn very ugly. The package is incl. Slipcase pretty gemach tund good soundtrack is on a separate CD in.

Unfortunately, backgrounds and characters fit at all with the style, the game would like to convey. The graphics are very cartoon-like, but the plot to 100% very seriously and supports the graphics at all the atmosphere. In the game you have the opportunity to kill several people. This I find quite hard, per se, in particular in an adventure game. These hard decisions are however not supported by the comic faces.

The plot is very simple and unfortunately raises almost no suspense, and is seen through even in the first 5 minutes of the game. There are just a few clichés thrown together and follow a loose thread without highlights. No one ever in Alcatraz the feeling of sitting in a jail. The character moves freely through the prison, collecting all sorts of objects traveling on and carries them around with him and no one pays guard. This is perhaps a disease of adventure games that the protagonists anything with it rumschleppen but just here it just seems wrong that you rumträgt a jack and 10 m rope with him and no thing you notice.

The next shortcoming are unfortunately the bad puzzle. A typical example is the riddle of open doors. One does not have reinreden somewhere or do something interesting to come to a key. Stattdeseen can be found at very many places hairpins and opens all sorts of doors. Other puzzles include the repair of a machine: put the plug and engine running. One needs special ink so you just talking to only a painter and get ink. One person says she wants to have a record so you take home a record with and passes it. It is on a jack and get a jack and a lever at the same time in the inventory. Combination of 2 just received objects and the jack is repaired.

Everything therefore no real mystery but etweder hol and bring jobs or simplest combinations without any right. Posotov heribei is that the designers have vereinelt several solutions to a problem come up.

I would recommend anyone the game so well. The puzzles are too easy and for beginners too simple and without any joke. The story bobs to create to himself without at some point voltage. After perhaps 5 hours, is then also come to the end and can choose between 2 uninspired ends. The 2nd star there for the soundtrack and the pretty packaging.

In particular a pity, I find that Daedalic sells the game. To date, the name stands for a high quality, especially for in-house productions as well as for foreign games. Therefore a Daedalic game for me has so far been a blind purchase. Of this they had better let the fingers if they want to defend their reputation.

If you want a realistic held adventure, which also radiates the envisaged atmosphere, I would recommend, for example, Facebook Noir.
