2 new french games (soon abroad?)
Paradise seems disappointing, says jeuxvideo.com, a site who doesn't dislike adventure games (they gave Syberia a 17/20 and Fahrenheit a 15/20 for instance)
http://www.jeuxvideo.com/articles/00...06486_test.htm And Kheops new game seems real good, after RTMI and Voyage, Secret of da Vinci seems to be even better (though the title is a *bit* opportunistic ) http://www.clubic.com/test-jeux-vide...-interdit.html

I'm currently playing Paradise, which is good enough for me up till now (meaning really close to the beginning, because I've been stuck for having missed a silly hotspot), and Da Vinci, which I have only installed and launched to check if it worked, is flirting with me from inside its box.

I've just read the Paradise review. I must say that I so far I agree with them; it's really good, but not as good as it could have been.
Now if i could just manage to get out of that stupid harem... where are all my adventure gaming reflexes?

I bought both last Friday, and have been working on Paradise since then (finished it twice). I don't completely agree with the review at jeuxvideo.com, but I see what they're getting at; still, at the end of the day, I think I liked Paradise more than Syberia 2 (but less than 1), but it's definitely a game that took its time to grow on me.

When is DaVinci out in the UK, anyone know? Screenshots look amazing, and has the same inventory system as voyage and RTMI which is great.
Btw, this is on kheops site: "Since The Secrets Of DaVinci is ready for launch, we are now working on two other titles which will be released in 2006. An adventure game and a puzzle game. " Yipee! |
