The first half of this game is irritating and the conversations with in game characters can be skipped entirely. The scenery in the first half is samey and the cutscenes seem to have been thrown in to show off the game designers ability rather than enhance the game. The second half makes up for it and has some good humour and imagination if you persevere through the truly tedious set up of the first half. Wait till it comes down in price or go through marketplace because it isn't worth full price (26 quid at time of writing).It is mostly fun, though, and a nice introduction to adventure gaming.
It is entirely mouse controlled and you click to jump to the next point in the game but you can look around the very impressive (in the latter stages) scenery wherever you are standing.
Good fun and a pleasant diversion if you can be bothered getting to the second half.
