courtland, postmortem, makeup, business / economics / finance, savegame, fat chicks rule, kult, lose weight, anonymous, shearer, | Basically we are treated to view after view of a man and woman crisscrossing Europe with puzzled looks on their people can fly faces. There is a single attempt at character development about halfway through the game, which is served up almost as an aside and then dropped. And then there are the NPCs. Or the lack people can fly of any. Well, they are there but only as authors people can fly of e-mails that regularly appeared in my mailbox, many of them with spoilers to puzzles that I had already finished. None of these characters connected with me, though they were supposed to be part of my hearty little detective crew. They continue to e-mail even now, even after I 've finished the game, filling me in on events as they are still apparently unfolding, as if I care. In the end, I didn't give the game the lowest mark. There were a few nice parts but nothing that compelled or left me with a sense of accomplishment at completing the game. In a way, In Memoriam even fails to fail. I can't recommend this game to anyone other than as a $2.95 |

While the blocking and acting were perfectly acceptable and the voiceover actually good, many of the murkier scenes were shot with the video gain turned up to increase sensitivity, which is a anonymous nice anonymous way to say grossly underexposed. All it would have taken to double the impact of the interminable night-driving scenes, for instance, would have been a single little battery-powered cine light under the dash to increase dramatic effect. As it was, it was just ugly. Daytime scenes were washed out and drab and flat, though that anonymous might have been the point. However, it adds zero tension or visual drama to the gameand really, in the end, this is my biggest complaint of all. The game utterly failed to generate any sense of menace or suspense or even a mildly interesting dramatic effect. Much of this was because of the silly arcade sequences and the drab web surfing, but just as much was the lack of anything approaching a substantial story. |
