Even when the cattle chronicles the aesthetics graphic adventure was produced with good setting and simple operation again; numerous allusions and quotations make the heart beat faster and also the self-irony leaves many a mouth benevolent twitch upwards.
"We have poisoned a penguin with alcohol and thus sent a man in his watery grave. I * love * non-violent games."
Unfortunately, there is next to the sunny side a few downsides:
- When running multiple monitors, played on the main monitor and retrieve on the second monitor eg e-mail or uses an IM, then the game is minimized automatically when you puts another window into focus. This small / large game bothers.
- There are a few minor bugs, so it is, for example, happened to me in the 4th act that I Ma'Zaz imprisoned and then was unable to switch to Nate, I was caught in a screen without any hotspots. Remedy has brought only calling a much earlier savepoints and from there play it all over again. However, the manufacturer already collects error messages and is determined in time offer also a bug fix.
- The MMN biggest problem is the logic of many puzzles: you can progress Some only by trial and error to determine, you will not be introduced to the solution, but can open up the logic of their actions after the fact. So there are frustrating moments where you the locations for hotspots scans pixel by pixel (or the spacebar presses resigned), and then tried all inventory items with all the hot spots and up to today.
Nothing against "Around the corner" thinking, but if you have to think of Berlin / Alexanderplatz to Moscow / Kremlin that a few corners of the mystery friend too much.
All in all, it is a worthy successor - lot of humor, a lot of fun and a gem of an unfortunately almost extinct genre.
