2.0 out of 5 stars Great concept, nice graphics, but why is it so bad???, October 2, 2001

This review is from: Jekyll & Hyde (CD-ROM)

Dreamcatcher did it again. Yes, that's right, they've taken a potentially interesting subject, put up nice graphics, recorded great sounds and voices, yet still managed to make the game bad. This game is like a horror novel set in the middle of 101 Dalmations.

No offense to these guys because they still manage to make us poor gamers have a crack at the new games because all their games go for 19.99 and so forth.

The setting is really cool for this game, but the characters look really stupid, worse than something Disney could come up with. The combat system is weak also. Swing that cane, doctor. One hit and the madman, or whatever that polygon monster was, is down.

Another thing is although I prefer 3rd person views, this one makes me sick. It scrolls too fast and you really can't tell where the camera angle will be with every little move of your, yes, that's right, JOYSTICK!!!!!!! Who the hell would release a an adventure game in PC platform in 2001 that is intended to be used with joystick interface?

Dreamcatcher no doubt.

But, it was a nice try. Stick to Traitor's Gate or the Atari 2600.

Two Stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, December 17, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Jekyll & Hyde (CD-ROM)

I got this thinking it would be a so-so game to give me some chills. After playing I discovered it was a very entertaing game. It doesn't work well with a joystick (down-side) but still works great with keyboard. The people and enviornment are a wierd but thats what it's supposed to be. I would recommend this game.

2.0 out of 5 stars A bit disappointing, July 7, 2002

This review is from: Jekyll & Hyde (CD-ROM)

I usually love games and especially mystery games like the particular one. Unfortunately, I found it rather boring and tiring.
