Unofficial Tex Murphy

I just finished it after 2 days. It's nice, it's pretty much like the first one. There more really tricky puzzles.
I recommend it to those who enjoyed the first one. But there are few little deceptions.

1) It looks like it's eating CPU and GPU time like quake 4 although it's 2D "point and click" game.
2) It's a little short.
3) It ends "a la syberia 1" (i.e. to be continued...) which is why i'd rather recommend to wait for runaway 3 and to get it cheaper, and maybe enjoy them more, playing them in a row. (although there will probably no runaway 3, if everyone does that... )

That's all folks.

I hated the first one... it strted off good, but the voice acting was terrible, the puzzles were frustratingly impractical and the storyline slowly found it's way into my "I don't give a hoot anymore" section.

Good visuals, but I don't think I will be getting the second one.

-Cub. =o)

I didn't care for the original either. I was never a terribly big fan of adventure games, as the only ones I played were the Lucasarts ones and Tex Murphy.

I really wanted to get the original, but because of work commitments I travel pretty extensively, so I'd have to play it on my Powerbook which, as we all know, isn't possible.
