I liked it. yes, relatively easy, but entertaining...and fun!

It's amazing both for Lego and Harry Potter fans. I really like it, it's entertaining, has a lot of lego puzzles which make the gameplay last longer. Sometimes, it's a little bit irritating for me to collect all of the lego money blocks but I'm just the person who likes to collect everything that is possible, so it's not quite the game's fault. I played the first part and somehow I like that part better.

JOAR takes place in a (mostly) underground world of caverns and control rooms. It is dominated by an unexplained conflict between roaches and other insects (and spiders) on the one hand, and miliarized ants on the other, though the real goal is to get one roach back to a flower he came across. So, as you can see, flaw #1 is a confused and confusing storyline. What you can make sense of, though, is sometimes funny and even touching.

There is no dialogue; instead, sometimes thought bubbles appear with cartoons of what's going through the character's mind. This could be rather pleasant, except the cartoons are often not very clear, which makes solving the puzzles harder. Flaw #2.

Flaw #3, alas, is the poor quality of many of the puzzles. Some are good, most are very challenging, but many just don't make any sense. When they don't make sense, you can't figure out solutions but most resort to random combinations of objects, and that is not fun or satisfying. To be honest, without a walkthrough I would have given up in annoyance.

Flaw #4 is a little shortcoming in the interface. In most point-and-click games, when you click anywhere in a scene on a hotspot, the character walks over to pick it up or use it. In JOAR, the character just stands there complaining that it is too far away. You have to move it closer and then try again. The scenes are cluttered and the roaches can walk on side walls (but not rear walls!) and ceilings so moving around is not always obvious. A little shortcut for interacting would have been nice.

It isn't a very long game, but probably acceptable for the price (I got it on sale for $5). I wouldn't enthusiastically recommend it, but I did derive some enjoyment from it.

Can't play story mode in Demo - crashes before scenes seem to finish.
Free mode doesn't really make sense without playing story mode first.
Will not purchase

Tried to like this but it just didn't grab me.

I agree with the other review. I'm still playing it but it's really really weird and creepy. I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing in the game, what I should do or if I do it the right way. Still, the game is positively strange for me, and I like this kind of games where you have to work out what is really happening but even if you are almost sure, there is always a chance that you're wrong. :) confusing as hell but it gives a lot of fun to those who like that kind of gameplay :)

I'm a big fan of The Walking Dead!! Once I saw this I had to get it (Hoping it wont disappoint)....and it didn't!!
