It's one of those games that you coming away after completing feeling fairly satisfied.
Let's start with the positives , it does have an interesting almost claymation look about it which makes it an attractive game in parts and the idea is certainly interesting and it doesn't fail dramatically, it just feels like it hasn't been play tested enough.
It has some irritating game issues, you sometimes find your character wondering or not activating with level travelling, you need to leave the area and you character just does an about turn, it just doesn't always react as it should.
The characters are just very hammy and slight dull and stereotypical , I'm not sure if this is deliberate but the main protagonist's is no Guy Brush, although I think this may of been one of its inspirations.
Some of the puzzles are irritatingly obtuse and some of the places you end up in are just a bit silly.
Overall it's just a pretty but very average game, it's not awful but it's just ok.
I don't regret playing it but if someone had just told me the script I would of thought I would give it a miss.
It's just so average and I wouldn't rush to play a sequel, that said if you ever wondered what an average game with elements of Monkey Island, Xfiles and the Twilight zone would look like, well a bit like this but probably better as it has elements of all of these but doesn't do any of them well, just ok.
Overall it's an ok game but if your looking for a pretty game with sci fi elements maybe try beyond a steel sky, also not perfect but a much more interesting experience.
