** Story ***
Once again, is a fantasy kingdom in danger and overloaded from the burden of its rescue on the shoulders of an inexperienced, short stature anti-hero, the No, not quite but protract a powerful ring in the fires of Mount Doom, in the world to this before sinking to preserve, it must nevertheless.
We are talking in this case of the inexperienced gnome Wilbur Weather quartz, which by chance a magic ring is played into the hands of the states that its power could decide the time immemorial ongoing war in the fantasy realm for the benefit of its owner. And since Wilbur anyway prefers a glorious life as a hero and magician its current existence as a cleaner in an abandoned apres-ski hut, he sets out with his precious cargo on the way to Archmage of people.
Parallel to her cuddly Gnome also controls the quick-witted, not only in the proverbial sense Ivo elf who leaves her dreamy forest in the same mission. Halfway through the game then intersect them both ways. In addition, the apparently with Han Solo adventurer-related waste Nate and his purple-colored balls of wool cattle pushes (ie really) to the now quartet grown Party.
** Gameplay **
Here is a classic point & click adventure which was lovingly decorated and offers an incredible stock of wit, fun and entertainment. The gameplay is extending of medium duration (12-16 h), but is a very intense experience ala Monkey Iceland, inciting to repeat playthrough. The controls are precise and the "pocket" (Inventory) presented well, also in the objects can be combined.
**Pro Contra**

** Conclusion **
Aside from some difficulty, this game is an absolute buy recommendation for players the Monkey Iceland, Ceville, Sam & Max etc. Find good. The weaknesses in the game successfully masked by the story, landscapes and joke and therefore this game will receive from me 5 stars.
So: Buy or lives with the feeling of having missed something ;-)
