Falls before the dream
Dreamfall is a good adventure game but I am not satisfied with just a good adventure game coming on the heels of The Longest Journey.
This game does not work for 4 reasons:-
1) It comes after Longest Journey and is not even a pale shadow of its predecessor.
2) Its too short ---It falls as soon as you start to dream.
3) You don't get steeped in the atmosphere.
4)Apart from Zoe you do not connect with any one of the other characters.
Graphics are beautiful and solid,interface is nice too, even the sound is robust but the story too short and as soon as you are beginning to enjoy the whole experience -----it ends.
I am feeling let down because I hoped so much and I got quite less.
The worst part was distributing game time between three characters.The designers should have just concentrated on Zoe and made the chapters more immersive and the story a little longer.
Forgive me if I am being a little harsh on a good adventure game because they are a dying genre nowadays but I never ever said wow! or awesome! even once and the fault does not lie in the game but the very fact that it follows the footsteps of the finest adventure game ever made till now, which I have not only played time and again despite its linearity but because its a story worth reading forever until dreamfall.
Anyways happens ----hope we get a better game later.
