If you like Adventure games this is a must If want a Family/ Kids game, look no where else
I really wouldn't buy this game for $60 because its simply too short and it doesn't give you much back. But for $30 either used or after sale price, its definitely worth it.
The Disadvantages of the game:
-Slow Action
-A bit simplistic but a couple challenges do exist
-The ending is a bit unrewarding and is not satisfying
The Advantages:
-Great Story and atmosphere
-The game surprises you with new stuff even at the end of the game
-For the first time I see implementation of side-games done correctly and even fun to play.
-The game is short but you get to race, drive a boat, drive a spaceship, run, walk, sneak, talk to people, buy stuff, use vehicle upgrades, combat, search, play...the list just goes on.
-Its fun that you get to really play as a reporter and take pictures and play an adventure along too.
The game has lots of positives but problem was its too short and if they continued to make it longer with same tasks it will be kind of repetitive.
It kind of reminds me in time when developers used to try and bring something new to the gaming market and that is actually good and thoughtful not anything that would sell the most units.
Even if you don't like adventure games, you shouldn't skip on this one because its cheap enough now and short enough to make it worth while to experience it.
I would really think kids from 7-11 would REALLY enjoy this. I am 24 I did enjoy it.
The only reason I give it 8.5 and not 9.5 is because its too short and kind of very easy with simple combat action.
**HINT**
This might be a SPOILER
at the final boss just remember the dodge button
