We have word of an ew review of Anachronox. It has been published by Inteligamer and is fairly positive. They rate the game 60% for the first part, and 90% for the second. Here's their conclusion:
In the end, after playing it all the way through, I am glad I finished Anachronox. Although far from being an RPG classic, it has some of the most memorable characters in an RPG and I will never forget the stranded in space cut scene. The combat is easy, and although I never really needed the ultrapowerful weapons I created with mystec, it was still a blast to use them. Tom Hall, lead designer, and the crew of Ion Storm have all been fired, so it is unlikely that we will ever see a sequel to the game. That is a shame, if a game picked up where this one left off, had a nice new shiny engine and followed the plot through other universes, I would believe we have a classic RPG. |
