Status : Online | There is nothing i hate as much as this game. keep in mind i know relitivly little about adventure (newbie), but this game makes me sick, it has done a tour of all my friends homes- just so i can share my pain with someone. IMHO, this game sucks in ways i couldent even comprehend before that fateful christmas morning.
[b]Its boring, there isn't any action at all. You walk around picking up things and using them with other items. You walk around and use the item on something. Walking around and talking to people is really lame, what about some shooting or something[/b]~[i]APuddleduck[/i]&&

Status : Online | I think the game deserved the C rating. But I thoroughly ENJOYED it. One of the few I have played lately that I did enjoy through to the very end. Why? Although I didn't think the story was great, it HAD a story and that story was logical and the puzzles were integrated into to the story and the solutions were pretty logical as well. The graphics were pretty good and there were places to explore and things to do and things to find. And it played well on my relatively new computer - sdomething I am really appreciating these days.

Status : Offline | But then I checked and saw that Randy Sluganski the reviewer gave Harry Potter an A so all became clear
This is why I very rarely post - what does the above remark even mean? What became clear? Harry Potter is an action/adventure for children/teenagers, Jack Orlando was pure point and click. See now I'm rambling...

Status : Online | I only meant that your preference probaby tended more towards action-adventure than real pnc adventures. Cos I as an adventure gamer hated Harry Potter. How do you justify a C on the graphics on Jack Orlando?
I think all traditional adventure fans are going to enjoy the game immensely, especially mystery fans. I didnt want the bad rating to put them off buying it.

| Deleted User | Haven't played the game personally but from the screenshots the graphics don't look bad at all, in fact they look quite nice. However, the review's main arguement about it not being that good seems to be the lack of detail in backgrounds (ie they appear empty and deserted or not lively enough). Again, I neither agree nor disagree on that one, since I haven't played the game myself. I believe in different points of view though, so I don't think there's anything wrong with you liking the game.
