User Rating: 5.4 | Runaway: A Road Adventure PC
American dream came true! Brian got a lot of money along with a brainless chick and a brand new Ferrari. I always ask myself why people come up with such a cheesy Hollywood like plots? Runway... Is it really adventure game? Hell no. Tired with a lot of boring conversations, linear walkthrough, completely non logical puzzles, and one more thing... blood. If I wanted to see people die I would have played freaking Doom. I simply do not understand. Look at success of Myst. Or Riven. Or Siberia. The games are logical, the puzzles are complicated but you do not have to brute forcing them, no killing. Fancy. I think 75% for the game to be successful is the “idea” that at the end comes down to the plot. The “Runway…” has completely lost in this competition. The graphics is very nice and professional, the sound is very cool too but the plot is just something that broke the whole thing. You give something to a person and then you are forced to leave the scene to come back immediately for things to “magically” work out. Dah… What is that “clicking every pixel on the screen” to finally get what you want. How logical to load a machine gun with freaking lip sticks… Anyway, I want to say thanks to all the developers that work for Pendulo Studios, they did an amazing job, it is unfortunate that the script was completely out of sync.
