Adventure Ahoy

  

BASED ON COMPLETED GAME

I enjoy this game every time I play it. At first it seems pretty simple.

Your friend has lost a bet with an evil PIRATE CAPTAIN, and is forced to join the crew of the FLYING DUTCHMAN, a legendary ghost ship that can never make port, doomed to sail the oceans forever.

However, throwing your lot in with him in the hopes of rescuing him, you find yourself HELPING the CAPTAIN, AGAINST HIS WILL, to UNDO the curse. Plenty of land-based action as well as on the ‘briny waters’

I like the GRAPHICS on this one. They’re not the best you’ve ever seen, but they are BRIGHT, COLOURFUL & RICHLY TEXTURED. MUSIC was TYPICAL swashbuckling stuff, but I really liked the AMBIENT sound in much of the game. VOICEOVER was limited to the opening.

The GAMEPLAY was a good mix of 2 parts ADVENTURE, 2 parts
(INTERACTIVE LIST) HO SCENES – visited twice, 1 part PUZZLES. None of it was hard. But...

HINT outside HOS was useless, and there was NO MAP. There was a JOURNAL, with essential details.

You have COLLECTIBLES in the form of PEARLS, which offer backstory, and are a NECESSARY part of the game.

A surprising amount of story was included in this game, making far more interesting than a standard pirate game. No underwater locations, however, to my sorrow. Still, solid entertainment.

I Recommend This Game!
