Runaway is undoubtedly the "Full Throttle" of its own time.
The story may be the best part of the game and it really sucks you in. Playing runaway is really like watching a movie. But the difference is you have to think a little to make progress. Runaway is not a very easy adventure, and you really get stuck occasionally and don't know what to do ( at least it went for me like this, both times I played it ! :D ) but I think the difficulty was OK, and a good adventure game have to be this way.
The cartoonish graphics is really interesting, and it makes a joyful theme. There is no bug in the graphic part and it's really well done. Camera is always placed in the best position then you can have a good view of the location. Exploring the inventory is fun and combination of the objects is almost reasonable.
Music is just fine and it helps you to have a better feeling of the situation. Voice of every character exactly suits them and it makes every one of them more likeable - even the bad ones!
Runaway is one of the best point and click adventures I've ever played, and if it wasn't I wouldn't play it twice! And right now I'm thinking of playing it once more! Anyway, if you're a fan of third person point and click adventure games, this game is your best choice.
