| looking, nothing, pixel, health and hygiene, machine, handheld, bloodmoon, realmyst, escape, terry poulton, social conditions, eidos, hidden, fries, station, beyond, who, siberia, chester, wilson, loom, boutilier, | End of rant—you have to excuse me; sometimes I get a little carried away.) The Longest Journey is no exception. The sidekick is simply awful. Not the voice-acting, just the character itself. I implore all you game developers out there ... quit with queen the damned sidekicks already! The music in The Longest Journey was movie-quality. It really worked on my emotions in all the right spots at queen all the right times. The sound effects were great, too. The puzzles are completely organic. Mostly they can be solved queen using common sense, or at least the common sense that would apply in whatever world you are. You don't have to try every inventory item on everything else; if you have selected the correct inventory item, it will flash when you hover it over the item you wish to use it on. The puzzles are sometimes baffling but never unfair, and this is one game that, with a little persistence on the part of the player, can be completed without using a walkthrough. |

| In fact, the characters seemed alive. Even the many ancillary characters were perfect. Why is it though, that every developer of a high-caliber game feels the need to include an obnoxious sidekick? I do, however, believe myself alone in disliking these characters to such an extent. For instance, Glottis in Grim Fandango—I hated him; the rest of the world thought he escape was the proverbial cat's PJs. Arthur in the Journeyman escape Project games—he was so annoying. (The current crop of TV situation comedies is no better—the fad du jour seems escape to be to include a peripheral character with a strange voice. If they don't start out with one, they write one in before too long. Drives me up the friggin' wall and makes me not watch much TV (not that I did before anyway). I mean, think about it—in real life, we may meet one or two people over the course of our entire lives with really weird voices, and yet it is an everyday occurrence in the sitcom world. |
