Gamespot has reviewed Anachronox and rated it 7.8 out of 10. They were not overly impressed, but liked the game nevertheless:
Anachronox is generally stable, and a patch has already been released addressing most of its technical issues. However, Windows 2000 is not officially supported, and some serious problems have been reported getting the game to run under that OS. Windows 2000 users may wish to try the downloadable demo to ensure compatibility.
If you have the patience to make it through the slow start, Anachronox will reward you with great dialogue, great voice acting, and an increasingly complex fighting system. In terms of gameplay, it's a by-the-book entry in an established genre, but its American perspective and a successful sense of humor set it apart from the pack. |
