Yeah, waving our arms about made us look about as attractive as Kermit the Frog.Īhem, yes.
Similarly, the Random Gestures While Speaking engine could have done with some reconsideration. Hans in particular isn't flattered by the crisper rendering he looks kind of sinister. They still should have gone with actors, as the characters themselves were badly rendered given the fantastic settings, but perhaps that will occur with the release of Syberia III: Get the Hell Back to New York Because I'm Stuck in the Middle of Frickin' Nowhere. The graphics of the original were really its strongest point, both in terms of theme and execution they're substantially improved upon in II, with a lot of things becoming crisper. Hollywood would be proud.Īnd we couldn't even hide our hott bod. Also, the improved graphics made it kind of abundantly clear that the girl can maintain salon-fresh hair even when deep within the Arctic Circle. Not only did it have Kate NUDE (sorta), it also had an unmissable example of ass before we even got to the frickin' main menu. To quote you, "Bollocks!"įirst of all, we weren't going to harp on about Kate's hot polygonal bod, but the game, um, kind of made us. particularly since the pretty was quickly overshadowed by a stupid subplot, wherein corporate New York lawyers care about me and want me to come home. The designers of the game truly have an eye for the pretty, and, quite frankly, were it not for the pretty, I'd probably want my money back. Where to begin? Well, as with our first Kate Walker experience, the first thing that jumps out at you is the aesthetics. Your dreams were sort of shattered, darling, but perhaps we should back up a bit. Imagine, if you will, my hopes and dreams: that all the shit we whined about incessantly on the p revious g ame would be designed out by the miracle of feedback, and that the original's successes would no longer be besmirched by the more awful, wrath-inducing elements. It was with great anticipation that Jacq and I tore off the plastic from Syberia II: No Superfluous Subtitle it had turned up in the last week I was in Yakutat the first time, and consequently Kate's frost-tousled locks and bedroom eyes had been tormenting me from the CD cover for waaay too long.
