| Deleted User | Steve, I believe the reason that no one has replied to your post is not that of indifference but that nobody wants to admit they've played the game. Just to re-assure you, consider the following:
The box art claims 'about 100 difficult tasks' - some of these tasks are what you describe: using the examine cursor and ignoring them. Some task all right! The box also says '200 Detailed Locations' That's amazing since the entire game only takes up about 650MB. so why bother putting it on a DVD?) It turns out that all of the examine closer screens constitute towards the 200 detailed locations. really pushes the limits on truth in advertising)
The bottom line here (NPI) though is that I encourage you Steve, as well as all of our intelligent followers of the AG community to play and finish this game as you will be treated to a unique experience that reflects how far the standards have been lowered in our beloved niche.
Enjoy!

Presumably only the examine closer screens are detailed locations? [smiley=boggled.gif]

Status : Online | Well, i found what the deal was with the items i mentioned above, am now stuck with a wino in an abandoned house desperately trying to find a way to get him to pass me some information he can't remember..
This game is just ok so far, typical of most games in the last 3 years with beautifully rendered but static backgrounds and an awkwardly moving main character. Too early for me to make anything of the plot but voice acting sounds like it was actually parceled out to a real studio, you CAN tell when trained actors are reading the lines!

I know.
It's completely shocking that people might have different opinions from yours :
