Road to Guangdong

And as a Chinese player, I had come in expecting more from a studio called Just Add Oil Games--a name that's a cheeky reference and a literal translation of the Chinese phrase "jia you," an expression of encouragement and support. But its cast of Road to Guangdong is little more than an ensemble of lifeless, cardboard cutouts of a Chinese family, despite the best efforts of its writer Ooi (who is coincidentally the only member of Chinese descent on her team). In the end, Road to Guangdong doesn't quite live up to its modest ambitions as an intimate driving experience, as it shapes up to be a meandering road trip that simply can't end soon enough.
