The adventure site quoted earlier gave the game a somewhat favorable review... I'm wondering if this is a case of guys who love adventure games, have no artists, and figured that the actual backgrounds "weren't important" as the "meat" of the game was the writing and puzzles... it would be odd to have a decent game made entirely by content thieves, or so I'd like to think.
It's bad that I really want to play this now, isn't it?

This shit blew my mind.
What in the fuck? What even possesses one to copy some shit like that? Like, when in the development process did someone think of this terrible fucking movie and decide to copy that corny, predictable descent into hell?
They could have at least showed some class and copied something from the HBO animated series!

they really shoulve set them selfs up as as being a 'date movie' or 'meet the spartans' type of game to get away with this.

Now, those are the guys that made this?
I mean, they look like 3 desperate worn-out losers ready to rob a diner with their heads covered with stockings and a fake water gun.
Look the guy on the right, his hair and glasses. Hey, i'm a videogame maker, i can be sooo glamour now, like Tomonobu Itagaki.
:lol

Wait... if it was released in February 2006, how can it have backgrounds from Oblivion, released in March 2006?

Oh, ok. Wasn't paying attention, reading at work (and trying not to LOL every other minute).

By actually ripping parts from the originals it'd be more like MST3K, and they'd still need to get approval.Scottlarock said:

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
So nobody has been able to pay for the game yet huh? I will think its a fake until a gaffer actually gets his hands on it.

I'm choosing to believe that it's a giant parody game. Kind of like those shitty films like "Epic Movie" or "Superhero Movie". This is "Epic Game". :lol

Ouch, looks like someone ticked off the middle-aged Kentian game developer demographic.

For how shitty I was expecting that trailer to be, I was actualy surprised it had some redeeming elements. Sure everything about it was bad, but the premise was at the very least not AS bad as the rest of it.

I may be wrong but I'm fairly sure Simon the Sorcerer 1 or 2 did something similar if not the same, haven't played them in a long time though. Even still, I wouldn't hold that against them, it would only be an influence from something in the same genre, like all developers would admit to.

Wow. That's too similar to be a coincidence. Surely they have more dignity than that.

Intro + 10min of gameplay from someone else.

I get the exact same feeling. I'm leaning a lot towards it being a graphic from an Amiga paint program. Either the bootup screen or one of the "stock art" pieces to show off the capabilities of the software. Not Deluxe Paint, but one of the other ones... one of the HAM mode supporting ones...
One of the DigiPaint versions, perhaps?

This is like how that J-Lo snoozer The Cell was to contemporary art.
So funny.
