Ann is on her way to assist her dying father on his deathbed when her plane crashes near a city held by a rebel faction, on the north side of the country. Ann lives through this terrible accident and wakes up with amnesia in a prince's palace. That is how her extraordinary journey begins.
In order to develop the game on the Nintendo DS, this amazing adventure created by Benoit Sokal had to be totally rethought with regard to Paradise on the PC. The numerous puzzles and mind-teasers throughout the game have been completely reworked and now offer an original and intuitive gameplay that takes advantage of the NDS functions. The use of the stylus, microphone and your own logic will be of capital importance in solving the puzzles and mind-teasers."
This game does enough things right that for the most part, you'll likely enjoy yourself while playing it. Recommended.
IncGamers reviews Focus Interactive's new adventure title for the DS. Is point-and-click back for good?
i only used to buy point and click games on PC cause they had great graphics. i never liked how they played, i never even finished a point and click game in my life!!!!
'Point-and-click'. Hardly sounds like a recipe for absorbing, fun and entertaining gaming does it? You point at things, then click on them - the story moves on. You could argue the interactive element becomes limited, a bit like trying to salsa while wearing a pair of outsize wellies.
If you're unfamiliar with the adventure game format then we should mention that the point and click genre had its heyday in the '90s with notable titles like the Broken Sword series, Day of the Tentacle and Myst selling in their millions. But when 3D worlds came along they went out of fashion quicker than a Turkey Twizzler at a vegan market.
Wow those screens are pretty good. Should be fun once out
