i just picked this game up because it was only 30 bucks at walmart.

if you like point and click games like monkey island then i highly suggest this game. i just beat the first... "world?" i guess, and it is challenging and the art style is extremely fun.

oh, and its supposed to be 30 hours of gameplay, which is definately a plus.

Yeah, I have some unused giftcards for best buy. I might as well spend on this, I guess.

The only problem with this game is that it is way difficult. I keep resorting to cheating and it makes me hate myself.

I really, REALLY tried to like this game. Like, a lot.

My biggest problem with this game and point-and-click games in general is that while some puzzles are normal and logical (flipping the umbrella was one of those "OH YEAH" moments), most are utterly retarded and require EXTREME trial and error.

There are a few puzzles that make you feel like a genius, but even more that make you feel like the game is an idiot. Chojin and I try to play this game level-by-level, and we typically stop after one or less before putting in Strikers.
