I'm actually playing Freddy Pharkas right now (it's my second time) and I agree with Bard about almost everything he said, but you've got some good points also, Ariel Type. I don't agree about the characters though. In many adventure games the main character talks to the other characters like he or she doesn't know them, but according to the game he or she should know them. That happens very often in AGs and it somewhat shatters the credibility of the game. You're right, AT, that it's hard to get interested in the non-playing characters if the game doesn't tell you much about them, but I feel that that doesn't happen in FP as much as it could. And FP isn't supposed to be a game with a deep story, but more of a light-hearted satire and it fills that description very well IMHO.
The music is shear brilliance and the manual, well it's perhaps the best manual ever made.

It was a very good review, Bard, especially considering that it's your first at AG. Keep up the good work.
