This review is from: Delaware St John: The Seacliff Tragedy (Video Game)

This game was pretty good for what I read from previous reviews of the game. THe puzzles were not too difficult at all. The only problems I ran into was how fast the game would load onto the computer. It can seem like the game is not responding at all when waiting what seems like an eternity, but is really five minutes. Finally the window for loading the game will pop up and at most, you'll have to wait a half hour for the game to load.

Another problem was how slow the speech would go in comparison to the subtitles. Always use subtitles in adventure games, just because you sometimes miss something. The video clips get slow when the characters start to talk during a cut scene, so the subtitles usually speed by and you know what they will have said.

Cursors are also a bit confusing too. It's hard to catch some things that you need to use because the pixels are very small.

Overall, the game is pretty fun, but try to get one at a discounted price

5.0 out of 5 stars Supernatural Amusements, October 12, 2008

Supernatural Amusements

Pros:

1. Compelling characters -- Delaware St. John and Kelly Bradford -- on a quest to investigate supernatural events in a deserted amusement park, once the scene of a terrible tragedy.

2. Snowy, nocturnal environments, spooky light effects, haunting atmosphere. A Ferris wheel, funhouse and grinning clown statues with dark, feral beings lurking in the shadows.

3. Clever puzzle design, intriguing story, eerie music. First person perspective, point-and-click interface.

Cons:

1. Character movement in the cut scenes is a bit stiff.

2. One location in a multi-stepped puzzle is confusing.

Bottom line:

Delaware St. John and Kelly Bradford make a great "paranormal detection" team in this adventure game series. I hope we see more of them!

I thought this game was just ok, some times you couldn't figure out what to do next, even if you asked Simon for a hint...it wasn't much of a hint.

It was easy to get a little lost in the park, because of the way the arrows point directions. I thought some of the puzzle you solve weren't to logical to me...had to resort to a walk through on a few.

The story line was good...but the game play was just OK.

I play the other games and thought they were better, I could figure out what to do next in those, and the puzzles made a little more sence.
