It's a beautifully designed game and you can spend hours playing it. It's a bit annoying when you get lost or have to repeat the level again, but it's worthy.
DO NOT buy this graphic adventure. I consider myself a huge fan of click and point games, and despite its comic-inspired design could be acceptable, its humour is decadent and annoying, with boring jokes and dialogues. Moreover, it crashed more than once, and I spent 24 bucks in it. DO NOT BUY IT!!! :(
Not a huge update from the earlier games and have re-used some of the maps, but a great challenge at higher levels (the lower difficulties are way to easy, my 4 year old can even beat it).
If you liek the series, you'll like this one, even with it's unpolished finish.
Keep it at 4 stars, waiting for the next develpments
It's a great game. Somehow the kind of game I dreamt of back in the days, with a good mix of strategic level and, if you care for it, some tactical dimension too. The diversity among the various clans makes you want to go back to it to try new gameplays and that is great.
The title of my review is '4 stars waiting for the next developments' because I can only hope that this is the beginning of a long story, with new patches including new clans, new features, and something like scenarios. Yeah, scenarios would be great, given all the parameters that can be played with. Of course, some mods would be great too, to increase the replayability of the game but I guess that'll take some time before a community of modders really emerges. Keep up the good work.
Twice the game allowed me to go to an area that I couldn't get back to where I came from in the first chapter. That would be fine, except I didn't have the items I needed. Then, when I restarted the game and tried again, this time getting the items, the game would not allow me to apply an item to something that was necessary to continue or else the game would be over. Usually games from this company run fine on Mac, but this one is very bad.
What appears to be an interesting game ruined by repeated crashing. It can crash at start-up, during a level (annoying) at start of a level. Within 10 minutes of gameplay it will crash anywhere between 2 and 10 times. This is by far its biggest fault. As this appears to be the makers' only game hopefully this means they'll address this issue.
Otherwise - a bit more open-endedness in terms of upgrades in game might have made the gameplay more interesting, being able to upgrade characters / shop would have been good at any level not just at predermined level half-way through. Movement feels clunky at times, characters move oh so slowly, even with speed upgrade no noticeable difference. Annoyingly if you try and replay a level to get a better score it wipes the next level's result so you have to play that again as well and so on, and at the more difficult levels this is very off-putting.
Positives are nice graphics and interesting take on time management/dash style games. Bought on sale otherwise probably would not have bothered. Needs a few more elements to make it truly interesting.
Like George said, it's a great game. However, folks with Yosemite aren't able to play it without freezing at the save screen. When is a patch gonna come out to fix this?
Good game at a great price. Had plenty of play time, and things to keep you interested. The art was great and the music wasn't annoying like some. Good story line as well. I'd recommed this game.
Adds a bunch of new stuff to the game such as Mechs, MELD and a few other things. Would be more worth it to get it discounted. Doesn't change much to the core game but XCOM is already an amazing game on its own right but Enemy Within is the icing on top!
I've only played the original gourmania and this one...the zoo gets a tedious and the restaurants repetitive. The graphics especially the food scenes are way better than the original but overall the first gourmania wins hands down in terms of keeping your interest. This is very much for children in terms of the zoo and the ease of the restaurants
It's an entertaining and engaging game. It's not for the hardcore RPG player, as others have said. But it's not horrible as an RPG, even. Where this game fails is in the execution. I can't play the game for very long before it freezes, forcing me to force quit, and start over from my last save. It happens so much that I am just giving up playing what was a really wonderful game. Maybe you'll have better luck. Maybe you won't. As I only payed about $3, I'm not overly disappointed. But it's more trouble than it's worth.
If you miss the days of the first few Fallouts or Baldurs Gate, this is right up your alley. Wonderful consequential storyline where decisions actually matter down the line. Would highly recommend this to anyone
