Another Lucas Arts Masterpiece
Game play- The game is easy to play, and can be saved at any point which is great if you only have a few minutes to play. The game is set in the land of the Dead where the people who have died come as a sort of stop off before making it the next world. Which is where the main character comes in. his job is to sell tickets on the number 9 Train or a whole range of different ways. Sadly he only ever seems to get the ‘scummy’ people like gangsters, which means he can only sell them walking sticks. After a while the truth is reavled about his place of work and so starts the adventure. The world in which you play has a sort of Mexican theme to it, and some locations that are visited are, Hunted Forest which flying Spiders, Rubacarva a small town on the coast and even under the sea which ends up at a vast snowy landscape.
Sound – The sound is fantastic, all of the sound effects used suit the objects well the voice acting is perfect and clear which is supported by a brilliant range of different music which has a Jazz theme to it.
Graphics—the Graphics today don’t look that good compare to games like oblivion but still stand out well. The backgrounds are all really detailed and look 3D even though they aren’t. the only graphical problem is the characters which do look very square and old fashioned, but when you think the game was made in 1998 they are still very good.
Over all it’s a fantastic game which does deserve an up to date release for any one who missed it first time round. It shows us what Lucas Arts can make when they stop making hundreds of mediocre Star Wars games every year. And of course it proves that games don’t need any violence or bad language to be noticed.
