Red Johnson's Chronicles - One Against All

A good game with a extremely great presentation and a couple of pleasant playable features. It has some issues –difficulty lowered and very few additions– but it is a very interesting option for those who like graphic adventure games.

Red Johnson's Chronicles: One Against All is a puzzle game for Xbox Live. The puzzles are very difficult which will be appreciated by the puzzle fans. The game looks very good, but it will become boring after a couple of minutes.

If you like point and click adventure games with a strong narrative, Red Johnson's Chronicles is definitely a game you should check out. If you are fond of detective novels you will find several well known elements the game manages to make its own. The caveat being that the puzzles desperately need more variety and you will often get stuck on your way to the next clue.

Best not leave your fingerprints on this one. [Dec 2012, p.83]

Rather like last year's Amy, Lexis Numerique have created in Red Johnson's Chronicles: One Against All a game that appears to hold much promise, only to be let down by a ham-fisted implementation of the game mechanics. While it's nowhere near as bad as that game, One Against All's annoying puzzles and clumsy interface too often suck the joy out of progressing through its pulp plot, making it impossible to recommend to even the most committed of adventure game fans.

Dull-witted and directionless. [Dec 2012, p.103]

A puzzle game in a noir setting that sadly turns out pretty bad. The characters are flat and without personality, there's a lot of trial and error puzzles and the story is nowhere near interesting.
