What do these ratings mean?

First of all I know this is a old game, butt hat does not mean its not a good one. I got my hands on this gem from the past a few days ago (I haven’t seen it since it came out and my brother borrowed it from a friend) and I had to play trough it. For those of you who have not played this game pull your lower lip over your head and staple it, shame on you, this game is from the good old days. Play it!

 

Long story short you play the game as Ben, a rough and rugged biker who gets framed for murder and had to clear his name. We are not talking Shakespeare here, but the story works well and the game has a good cast of characters.

As far as gameplay goes we are back in point and click country, I am pretty sure all of you know what I am talking about, there still are a few around. So in other words its hard to mess up the controls. As far as puzzles go I have to say that they are….good. None of them are very hard to figure out. This time around the game was really easy since I remembered most of the puzzles. But the puzzles fit in the setting of the game and none of them seem out of place.

The voice acting has held up surprisingly well over the years, with Mark Hamil doing several of the voices, especially Ben is portrayed well. I am not sure I want to say anything about the graphics, seeing as this game is 13 years old. But I personally think that the game does not look half bad.

 

All in all this is an old game, but a good game. Its funny, cool, action packed, interesting and shorter then a mosquito’s dick. That’s probably the games biggest flaw, its really short, if you get on a hot streak as far as puzzles go you could finish this game really fast.

But since you are probably going to download the game anyway it doesn’t matter. Get your hands on it.

    I was really happy to see this review. I didn't know anyone else knew this game existed. Good stuff.
