Another "80 Days" review over at GameBoomers - this time by "looney4labs", who was obviously a little more impressed with the game than "Gremlin" had been back in December, 2005, as this time "80 Days" finishes out it's term with a final grading of "B+"...
Final Impression: “I change outfits more often than Cher.” Oliver
I thoroughly enjoyed going around the world in 80 Days with Oliver. The story had enough twists to be interesting, and the dialogue was very amusing. The puzzles kept me thinking, but didn’t make me desperate. The game was extraordinarily immersive, with many entertaining and original characters.
Because 80 Days has three levels of play, it has something for everyone and a certain amount of replayability. The graphics are sumptuous. The interface may take some gamers a bit of time to learn and adjust to, but in the end, it will be worth the bother. There were glitches, but the pluses of this game far outweigh the minuses.
If you enjoy third person games with plenty of exploration, inventory, mechanical, and logic puzzles, lots of humor, and beautiful graphics, make time for a trip around this world.
Goodbye, Oliver. Until next time!
P.S. They also have a complete walkthrough for "80 Days" done by "MaGtRo" for those of you who may need a little assistance to successfully complete this game. Enjoy!! |
