“Jack Fremont! HYYYYYYYYYYYYA! Your butt is mine”. This is one of the many crazy lines in the FMV computer game Fox Hunt. This game is terrific. It has a great plot, superb acting, and excellent game play. The game is about a TV trivia nerd named Jack Fremont (Andrew Bowen), who can’t even pay off his bed room walls. The CIA find him and ask him to go on a mission for them. His mission along with his partner Chauncey (George Lazenby), who is a Q type character, is to find a mad man who goes by the name The Fox because he is trying to nuke the city of LA, because no one liked the crappy shows he made in the 70’s. He has discs laying around all over the world with clues leading to the nuke. The clues are about TV trivia, and luckily, Jack Fremont’s’ there to save the day. The story gets convoluted though and Jacks racing all around the world trying to find these disks, though men are trying to stop him including, a gay assassin called Frank and two twin brothers by the names of Allen and Alan. The game is really, really good.

GAMEPLAY: The game play is similar to Myst. You click around the screen in First person, trying to solve puzzles. The first person stuff blends really well with the FMV and the story. You really feel like Jack. I don’t think the game could have gotten as intense if it were played in another perspective. Also, there are moments in the game were you have to shoot and fight to get your way through things. The shooting is pretty easy because you just use the mouse, but on the PlayStation version it’s much harder because you have to use the D-Pad. The fighting is a little tough because you have to Block, Punch, and Kick at certain times (just like in Supreme Warrior) or you get hit and eventually die. The game play is really great as well.

GRAPHICS: FMV! Ohh Yahhh

SOUND: Wow! The sound in this game is superb. It has really funny dialogue, great action sounds, and a perfect soundtrack with artists like Sublime and Butt-Hole surfers. You can even buy the Fox Hunt soundtrack (which I own) that has all the music on it.

VALUE: Well for the two bucks I paid for it at KB Toys, it was definitely worth it. I’ve seen it as cheap as 15 bucks on eBay, new, and it’s worth every penny.

THE BAD: This is the part I dread in every review. This game is HARD. It took me about 5 years for me to eventually complete the game. I don’t know why, but I can now beat the game in a day and die like once and not even need a walkthrough. Also, there is one thing that Capcom has done that will scar you for life. Just kidding, but what they’ve done is bad. There are some items at the beginning of the game and if you don’t pick them up, you will go through the whole game and get to like the last part and die because you don’t have that one item. I’ve had to restart the game on many occasions because of this. I would recommend a walkthrough the first time you play the game.

OVERALL: This is a fantastic game with just a few minor falls. Even if you don’t like FMV games, you should give it a try because it’s really a fun and funny game. Do your self a favor and go pick up Fox Hunt for the PC or the PSX and also get the soundtrack. You won’t be displeased. This is my most favorite game of all time!
