Product Description

Product Description

She is young, she is pretty and she comes from rich parents. Sunny Blonde has little to worry about in her life. Especially not today, the 17-year-old American beauty is on a luxurious Atlantic cruise with her parents, celebrating their wedding anniversary. But it's not really a party after Sunnys taste  shed rather be getting down with her friends. That's why she uses every chance she gets to get away from her parents and explore the ship. Just when the ship passes by the Bermuda Islands, the inevitable occurs - a heavy thunderstorm rolls in, the cruise ship is overwhelmed by the sea. Sunny passes out and is transported into one of the vessel's lifeboats... As Sunny, you can talk to the 30 or so inhabitants of the island, explore 55 different areas, and pick up, examine and manipulate objects with a few simple clicks of the mouse. So blonde is a point and click PC adventure game, with puzzle-solving, humor, pop culture references, cel-shading, multiple endings, and between 15 and 20 hours of gameplay. If hard gamers can get past the introduction, and the meaty part of the game, then they'll find a light-hearted and fresh adventure to keep them occupied. On the other hand, players that they are new to adventure games, will find a simple, yet effective, introduction to the genre and mechanics.

Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

when i first started playing this game i said to myself, this looks like its gonna be great..

amazing colorful cartoon graphics..great detail..good story..the game was long..dont remember much about the music...you end up being three different characters by the end of the game..lots of locations to visit..the dialoge was perfect...not too short..right to the point...no long boring conversations..the puzzles were good...easy to medium mostly...and a couple tough ones..the controls were good..no problems..no glitches..you can run and you can double click to make a quick exit to the next screen..the dialoge lacked in the humor department.. mostly bad executed blonde jokes that went in one ear and out the other..not funny..

BUT....

there was some things that bothered me about the game...first was that you do a lot of running back and forth...and i mean A LOT..you go talk to someone and they say...you should go talk to this person...you go to that person and he says you should go over here to find what you are looking for..which is right where you started looking...this extended the length of the game ..THE BAD WAY...when you go from screen to screen you get a picture to look at for 4 or 5 seconds...so when you are going back and forth like i said it gets a bit aggravating...they should be ashamed of themselves for saying that you use 3 characters...because you use one for about 20 seconds..and its completely guided...and the other which is some small animal..is also completely guided...you cant leave the screen..the very and i mean very easy puzzle is right in front of you and thats it...done...could have been much better..there are no cut scenes..or video to watch..this is done with comic style pictures and voices...not sure why?

this game could have been a classic, if they did away with all the meaningless back and forth waste of time stuff.if they had some cut scenes..had you actually use the other two characters..this could have been very well done....

this game is not bad...im just pointing out the things that could have been better and that got under my skin...i would play this game as an adventure fan...3 stars is what this game deserves..no more no less...it is worth playing and buying...its just that they just missed the mark on what could have been a great classic
