I chose not to discuss the music because it is so dependent on individual tastes. I mean, in a world where people actually like such performers as Celine Dion and 'N Synch, it can be dangerous for a game critic to espouse views about the quality of music in a game. I have to agree, though, that I found the music interesting and unique. The way the radio songs were able to sound like singing without actually having any recognizable words was fascinating. I particularly enjoyed the "blues" song, which was kinda reminiscent of Howlin' Wolf.
The soundtrack occasionally pops up on eBay, or you can order a 2-CD set of Terry Taylor's game music (Titled "Imaginarium") at www.DanielAmos.com Unfortunately, the set is out-of-stock at the current time.

By the way, the main character's name is actually Klaymen not Klayman like the review states.
Great review, though. Makes me wanna play this gem again.

I wonder why his name is Klaymen, though. Does he have multiple personalities? --Erwin

Nice review BacardiJim. I enjoyed playing through Neverhood very much. I decided to keep my copy because I know I'll want to replay it sometime.

Althought Willy can't spell and his letters should not be taken as evidence, it is Klaymen according to Doug Tennapel's site.

When you get to the very end of the game, you understand why he is called Klaymen. At least, one of the endings shows why.

I really need to replay this game. There were multiple endings? Depending on the number of video plates you recover, I guess?

There were only two endings -- the good ending and the bad ending, depending on a choice Klaymen makes:

Hey you all should go to Amazon.com and buy TenNapel's new graphic novel, Creature Tech.
Do it for Doug. I've gotta plug that guy. He makes me smile like a Jesuit on a religious Jesuit holiday. |
