A lot of humor in adventure games usually comes from when you’re stuck, and you try any old random thing just to see what will happen. In some games you might get a line like, “I don’t think that’s a good idea, and I’m not even sure it’s legal!” In Wanted Fillmore just has 4-5 things he says, and they don’t depend on the situation. The game just picks one randomly. There’s also a “look” command, but all it does is zoom in the view. It doesn’t generate any dialogue at all, funny or otherwise.

In other words, Revistronic missed all sorts of opportunities for humor in the game, and so Wanted ends up being pleasant and occasionally funny, but it’s hardly a knee-slapper. That description isn’t exactly a death sentence for a game, but when you combine it with the easy puzzles, a certain lack of polish, and several minor issues (like Revistronic’s decision to force you to feed Fillmore’s horse over and over again throughout the game), Wanted misses the mark just enough that it’s a little iffy for me to recommend.
