Accessories: Editorial Review: Product Description: Paradise is an amazing point-and-click adventure where you'll encounter fantastic, unknown animals and explore an unseen world. As a young woman travels to the heart of Africa to return a leopardto Kilimanjaro, she'll dicover a new kind of jungle... and a new world of mysteries. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not Up To Benoit's StandardThe only clue that this is a Benoit Sokal game is the sketch book like the one in "Amerzone." Otherwise you would think that this is a creditable first time effort by someone. The graphics are average. The plot is cumbersome and tepid. The dialogue is pointless. The first rule of a storyteller is to get the attention of the audience. Here, that is not true. The game starts off with several hours of puzzles which serve no purpose. Imagine congratulating yourself on solving some ... Read More Rating:  - Terrible - full of bugs, puzzles are stupidI can't believe Ubisoft put out something like this. It's terrible. From the same company that put out Myst games, this is what they've come up with??? We played this game and got so frustrated with how buggy the game was that we almost quit altogether - but if we had quit it would mean that the game beat us, and our egos kept us going. Example of a bug: At one point we were talking to one of the characters and accidently terminated the conversation earlier than we had ... Read More Rating: - Stay awayIf you're looking for a new game to play, go buy Syberia instead. Or Syberia II. Or just put your money on the floor and set fire to it, because that's effectively the same thing as spending it on Paradise. The other reviews are spot-on--while the graphics (particularly the pre-rendered backgrounds) are luscious and the story is interesting, the gameplay itself is terrible. Playing in the third person as Ann, you are reduced to pixel hunting over and over again because of glitches; sometimes ... Read More Rating:  - Very interestingThe game is absolutely well done. The scenes are great. You will go through a different Africa. With different animals and it's kind of spooky. But I really enjoyed. Specially visiting the Tree People. The character, Ann Smith is very smart and beautiful. No, it's not a free will game like some I played before where you can go anywhere and get lost. It' click and go. The story is very strong. A girl princess who comes back to Africa after so many years and lose her memory. And she has to go around many things ... Read More Rating: - Dark & Gruesome Story with Average PuzzlesThis game definitely has a dark story, rife with death. There were several things about gameplay that were frustrating. First, there is a lot of talking, and sometimes, characters will keep repeating the same thing to you for a given topic instead of considering the topic "closed". At the same time, the game will not allow you to skip over the dialog--you have to listen to the character speak it in full each time. Also, movement was a bit tricky at times. I would click on the right side of the screen and Ann would ... Read More |
