$19.99 Down to the trash

User Rating: 1.5 | Jack the Ripper PC
By William6058 | Review Date:
Pros: Interesting storyline
Cons: Too many major bugs, and boring gameplay.

This is one of the games that first of all, shouldn't play. It has, like Gamespot said, very little gameplay into it as it is just a point and click adventure. The procedure is this. Go to the place where you're supposed to go, and talk to the people over there or do something else. Plus, major bugs and instability makes this unable to play.

When I first bought the game, I was excited to just open it and play it. And after 5 minutes, I sit there drooling and keep clicking the left mouse button. This takes very little interest in the keyboard, except for showing the map.

The bugs in this game makes you get stuck in some point. You can't open up the map, can't get to the door cause that FREAKING MOUSE WONT RESPOND...... And yes, all other things are pretty much straightfoward....

So, if you're thinking of buying this, think again. It's just $19.99 down to the trash.
