 Brilliant and Charming June 25, 2008
Mr. R. Harper (Cardiff, Wales)

I bought this game as it was constantly being recommended by the PC Zone writers.
At first I couldn't understand what the fuss was about, I was going around taking photographs thinking "big deal", but after completing the first mission in the mines and having moved on to the storyline missions I became hooked
There is a bit of everything in this game, racing, combat, adventure, puzzle solving and the main characters (apart from Jade) are both charming and funny
Yes, some of the missions are hard, but I've completed this game 3 or 4 times now and loved it each time.
Highly recommended.
 Epitomy of Frustration April 13, 2008

Oh I so dearly wanted to like this game I really really did. With the downfall of the Adventure genre almost complete us Adventure gamers have had to look for other forms of entertainment to fill the void...sadly this is not it!
When I first started to play the game I thought it was a very charming bright game, ok so I had to kill a few baddies I didn't mind that as long as the narrative was decent I wasn't going to complain,too much. However the novelty soon wore off and I felt as though I was forcing myself to play this game there was nothing really loveable or redeeming about the main character Jade and the Domz are all a bit silly - well ok thats fine Mr Ancel as long as your not going to make the gameplay ridiculously serious...good grief some of the missions in this game are so frustrating its not even funny, the Slaughterhouse race is reasonably fun but then when you get through the secret entrance it becomes insanely difficult to get inside :/ After a dozen or so tries I turned it off...wherein lies the next problem the save system, which is so antiquated you'd expect to see it in an old N64 game or something. Why cant you save anywhere you like? It just frustrates the hell out of everyone when they have to keep going over the same bit to further the story especially in this day and age.
I can see why people really like this game but I have to say I'm not a fan of these action/adventure, platformer hybrids they come across as a confusing mess. I've tried it and I dont like it, its the same with Psychonauts, although Psychonauts is slightly better I cant stand the platforming elements and its a real shame that Tim Schafer didn't continue with games of Grim Fandango's ilk because that was a true classic.
However if you have bags of patience and can overlook some of the silly flaws(e.g. save system) You will probably enjoy it.
 Polished action-adventure December 23, 2006

This fantastic little game has been sadly overlooked by many. It's a game that combines stealth, action, RPG elements (buying and selling items) and the use of vehicles (including fun races), with a good simple plot and a main character that is developed throughout the course of the game. The designers here have gone for a "less is more" game, whereby the action is not full on all the time, giving the player a chance to enjoy the scenery and the weird and wonderful characters that inhabit it.
But - and this is the reason it did not receive 5 stars - since it's 3rd person, sometimes the view of the camera can get in the way of the action and so obscure other enemies - not much fun if you're supposed to be in a stealth situation. To be fair this hardly happens but when it does it's annoying.
I like games that slowly tease you in and then give unparalled entertainment. I like the ones that make you feel like you don't know what's going on at first and then by the end when you have full knowledge of the situation, they give you a... well, that would be telling. There were some pumped fists when certain puzzles were taken care of and the designers were aware that some were harder than others, so they give you a little theme tune to show that they appreciate you working them out.
It's one of those games that's just a pleasure to play. To paraphrase Firefly, it's "shiny".

For those of you that like 3rd person adventures, you really can not get much better than this. Basically you are a reporter who lives in an orphanage for animals (which are people), you travel around the world trying to uncover the truth about a government organisation while fighting a variety of creatures. The graphics contarary to what the other review says are excellent, with a variety of weird and wonderful creatures and monsters that inhabit the world. The game is fairly long with some funny moments and only a few bits that are perhaps verging on being too difficult. To some up dont be put off by the cutesy characters and the slightly rubbish initial quest which involves photographing each creature, there is something for both kids and adults in this game.
