    It was fun playing and it has this special humour ... British one! But for me the puzzles and the soundtrack were disappointing! But I recommend this game for some pause-gaming with expecting nothing more than funny entertainment!

    It's clearly a loving homage to LucasArts adventures, but it really pales in comparison to what it's imitating. It's too slow-paced, the puzzles aren't that interesting, and the humor is self-serving bro banter that relies on the idea that other people find these two twenty-something white guys as funny as they do themselves while constantly taking stabs at people who aren't like them.

The dialogue is boring to read through (yes "read" because there are no voices and few sound effects).

    I did appreciate the part where they make fun of the US, because it's always fun to see what other countries think of us.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Even though short - this is a very nice title from two dudes who love Adventures! You won't be impressed by graphics, or sound, or the speed of your mouth - but, if you are an old-school Adventure Clicker and grew up on Lucas's titles - you'll find joy in "Ben There, Dan That!". The game does not pretend to be anything but the Adventure - it lays bare all of its techniques - Ben and Dan constantly make jokes of Adventures, inventory, picking, using, etc., in such a way, that you are not lied into a game, but rather polished into it by its light-hearted humorous atmosphere. This is an English title - so be prepared for some hard kicks into American gut! :) The game is rather short, yet interesting. It could use some more sound effects for ambiance. The characters could also be more developed: it is hard to distinguish Ben from Dan (especially when Ben, whose room is a filthy breeding ground of trash, refuses to flush the toilet because it's dirty). Nonetheless - as an old clicky - this is a fun and FREE game! :)… Expand
