This is probably the only game I can eat popcorn and play at the same time...

A great adventure game with a twist of action adventure where the usual point and click gameplay turns into a 3rd person shooter point of view complete with direction, activation and even crouching controls, like Alias the videogame. Yes, it sounds interesting, but most of the time you just click or walk to a point where you trigger a 10 minute cut-scene and you click or walk a bit again to trigger yet another 15 minute long story sequence. It's like an interactive tv drama serial and trust me, I got to a point I really had a popcorn box in one hand and another on the keyboard.

Well, it's sort of like an action adventure game without the action, cos there is a really lame combat system which pretty much annoys everybody who played and commented on it. You really can eat popcorn and engage in combat simultaneously...seriously. Well, thank god that aspect is kept to a minimum, and the 3rd person thing is complimented in a good way with a stealth system that allows you to play hide and seek with enemy guards and security bots. Now you actually can 'die' in this adventure game if you get caught sometimes, and you really need to have hand-eye coordination this time round, so the whole popcorn thing isn't true here.

Nevertheless, there is great voice-acting and sound design and graphics are good overall. This is yet another masterful chronicle adventure with suspense lingering on till the end even after you complete it and it shouldn't disappoint any adventure gamer looking for a good story with popcorn in hand. The price tag is a little steep though.
