    Nice story,great characters, Great game for point-and-click enthusiasts. Very funny in some moments, the puzzle can be challenging. Final point, the graphics are great for its time. Worth buying.

    Very interesting and time-consuming. Never getting boring and almost everything is logical. Great music (especially in Douglasville at the bank, nice guitarwork) lovely pictures and movies, beautiful girl and most of all I'm having the time of my life playing this game. (I never amused myself with an adventure game like this since the first broken sword). Great job. I'm still Very interesting and time-consuming. Never getting boring and almost everything is logical.

    Another classic of graphic point and click adventures. Intriguing story, charismatic characters with hints of humor and crazy puzzle solving. Mandatory for lovers of the genre.

    The score reflects more the quality of the engine rather than the gameplay, but I liked the game well enough, and there is such a dearth of other adventures out there, that it’s a game worth owning if you enjoy the genre.

    Brings the adventure much needed color and style; but in the end it succumbs to the same faults as other games before it.
