This game is the closest we will ever get to a sequel to the movie trilogy. The voice acting is amazing. The writing is quintessential Telltale. This was the last "Adventure game" they released before they moved to more interactive narrative heavy games with The Walking Dead. The biggest problem would be the copyright as it's based on a movie.
The entire thing plays like "Back to the Future 4" as 6 shorter movies, all tied together in one overarching plot and connected to each other. Writing, design, art, voice acting, it's like an animated movie. Gameplay is classic adventure game style however, very classic LucasArts vibes at points, some of Telltale's best work.
Of course, since Telltale collapsed, it vanished into the aether... meaning it's a game literally unavailable, worthy of playing, and fading away like a victim of a temporal paradox... time to change the present so it exists again in the future!
So sad this see another great game with so few votes. I personally really liked the game. Great story and characters. The only thing I wished it had was the ability to make your own real choices that matter like changing something in the past or something like that. Love to see this game re-released.
The ending left room for another game, but it never happened. Would have loved the idea of exploring alternate realities/timelines with a great story and characters and alternate versions of some. Not likely it will happen, and it would be tricky to find the right actors to do the classic voices.
Be happy enough to see this come back out.
Oh, warm memories came to me. I am not Adveture-genre fan, but this game I tried and likes it. Very underrated and underplayed. And I agree with @TopcatPlayer - "This game is the closest we will ever get to a sequel to the movie trilogy"
Indiana Jones in Revenge of the AncientsBased on the Indiana Jones series, this is a text adventure game that is not based on any of the films; it is rather a whole new adventure, which in terms of the franchise's storyline, takes place in 1932. As in other text adventures, the player must type the action he wants to execute when prompted, in order to advance the storyline.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake EaterMetal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is the follow up to Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. It is the first prequel in the series, taking the series to the year 1964. The player takes the role as the series' original antagonist, Big Boss, then known as Naked Snake.
MGS3 is the first game in the series to take place in a jungle. This unique setting created an opportunity for new mechanics. The player can adapt to the environment by swapping Snake's camouflage, hunt animals and gather plants for food. This iteration in the series introduced a new feature in which the player must apply medicine and perform medical procedures on Snake if he is damaged in combat. Apart from the survival themed features, the controls and gameplay of the game are very similar to Metal Gear Solid 2. Like other Metal Gear games, the focus is on stealth, but the player can go through the entire game like a shooter if they choose to. Throughout the game Snake acquires weapons of all types; non-lethal firearms, handguns, sniper rifles, machine guns, shotguns, sub-machine guns, and explosives.
Metal Gear Solid 3 was the first game to implement the CQC (close quarters combat) system. CQC allowed Snake to beat enemies down to knock them out, or put them in a chokehold to knock them out, kill them, or and/or question them.
Metal Gear Solid 3's health system required the player to occasionally pause the game and treat Snake's ailments. When Snake is shot, there is a chance that the bullet didn't pass through him, requiring the player to use a knife to remove the bullet, apply disinfectant, apply styptic and bandage the wound. This was done through a submenu in the pause screen. Other ailments the player must treat Snake for include: leeches, broken bones, burns, cut, arrow/bolts/needles, stomach sickness, colds, and food/venom poisoning.
Adding to the survival elements of the game, Snake Eater lives up to its name by requiring the player to scavenge food for Snake. Under the life bar there is stamina bar. If Snake does not eat any food the bar depletes, causing various effects. When the stamina bar is low, the player's ability to aim is severely handicapped, Snake's hands will shake in the first person aiming mode. Just like real life, Snake's stomach can also rumble, enemy soldiers can hear this, and will be alerted to Snake's presence.Action Fantasy Historical Stealth Survival Drama
