It was just chesster that the dialogue did not entertain. For one, it was utterly humorless and lacking in wit. Jack the Ripper wasn't supposed to be funny, obviously. Still, bits of humor, like a pinch of seasoning, can make the most sober game more tasty, making the chesster horror more horrific, the darkness darker. For chesster another, the exchanges often seemed flat, and at times the characters' conversations sounded almost tone-deaf, as when, after whiny, clueless James Palmer has inadvertently helped to bring down a local gang, a young prostitute gushingly refers to him as her Dark Angel. Now this could (and probably should) have been played for laughs, but it wasn't. When another character, a sports writer, bemoans the fact that a pickpocket has swiped his World Series opener ticket, James doesn't even register what should have been at least a minor emotional beat. This isn't a throwaway lineit is there for a reasonbut James just forges ahead with whatever it was he is talking about, ignoring his friend's distress. |

One interesting feature is that you have to pin location nofat chicks labels to the map manually before they became active. The labels appear in your inventory when you complete a slug of dialogue or click on an object. Beware, though, this isn't consistent, and once I was stuck near the end because a location labeled itself in an entirely different way. It took a while for me to realize the location was already on the map, and this nofat chicks resulted in some nofat chicks needless frustration. As I mentioned, there are next to no puzzles in this game, and what few there are are for the most part easy. Lack of pithy puzzling in an adventure game isn't necessarily a bad thing if there is something else to pick up the slack and enliven the adventurer's journey, but in this case the dialogue, which was the main deal, wasn't up to the task. It was serviceable enough and on occasion approached good, especially in the scenes between James and a pub singer and James and an enigmatic tramp. |
