I wanted so desperately to like this game and to say great things about it, but in all honesty I can’t.<\/p>\n
I downloaded it and played the demo. I had misgivings even then, but I bought the whole episode because I’ve been a long-time fan of the comic book series.<\/p>\n
I finished it in two and a half hours!<\/p>\n
But it’s not just the length of play that disappoints me – it really doesn’t do justice to the comic book. The richness of the story and characters is lost in a game that feels like it’s aimed at five year-olds. And not in a good way where adults can really get something out of it, too.<\/p>\n
Also, considering that the makers are all supposed to be ex-LucasArts employees, the game is really buggy and lacks the polish that you’d expect from a professional company. For instance, with all of the excellent 3D games that exist, could they not see that there were serious problems with the modelling of the characters and the 3D shading? Was I the only one who got dumped back to the desktop in the middle of a chase sequence, which resulted in my having to start the sequence again? 20 times!!<\/p>\n
I know that Jeff Smith (the creator of Bone) was heavily involved in the development of the game, but I’ve got to wonder if he’s happy with the outcome. Sorry Tell Tale, I think you could have done so much better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
