I can't download it. At first download stopped several times and I paused and resumed it. Now it's just hanging there at 100% and not finishing. This happened with me several times before always on the weekends. Does anyone else have trouble downloading? frown

I liked it but will not buy it because they spoiled the game by interrupting the scenes with constant narrative. I would just get warm on the hunt for items and they would interrupt and sometimes not even return to where I was. Very disturbing but I do like this way of find objects... by category. A shame they spoiled it. Time for narrative is between scenes not in the middle of it.

I couldn't stop playing it the first time. Played it through a second time and found that a choice offered partway through really did change the outcome for an important character. I'm right at the end of the second play-through, and have been waiting to play the very last bit. I'm sort of savoring the anticipation. grin

Hi, Becky!

I don't remember where I downloaded the demo from, but I enjoyed it enough that I'm just gonna purchase it from "BigFish". Hearing Chris Jones' voice and seeing his face again is well worth the price of admission lol ! Of course, I'm still holding out hope that we'll eventually see another Tex Murphy game.

I really like this game. I'm enjoying the story. I think it's good. I liked the first one also.

The most important part of the game is the story.

The interuption only comes after you have finished finding all objects for a particular category. If you chose to play the relaxed mode, then you do not have to find all the objects in a category, so if you are interupted by the continuation of the story, that means you only had to find what you already found.

I thought it was a great sequal to the first game, and I will be playing a second time like Becky to see what the outcome will be for the second choice.

Maybe I'll switch modes then. The HO part seemed to go buy too quickly, I didn't seem to need to find to many things before the next video played, so it seemed like short playing time between videos.

I really enjoyed this game. In fact, it actually made the first game make more sense for me ( if that makes any sense lol )

The dialogue made the game for me - a great story, lots of twists and turns. I found the HO part rather easy and while I wish there had been more of it, I also found myself getting a bit annoyed at having to go search for things when I wanted to find out what was next in the story! I also noticed that while Jess' lisp in the first game almost drove me crazy, that it was hardly noticeable at all in this game. That made following the story much easier.

I think it's a 'Love It!' / 'Hate It!' type of game, but I am definitely one who loved it. I hope there is another game to follow - to see where Jess' gift takes her next.

Hi, which2!

The ending seems to suggest that there will be at least a third game in the series. I finished "3 Cards to Dead Time" last night and will replay so I can make a different choice and see the second ending.

Both games have the perfect mix of storyline, puzzles and hidden objects (as well as the opportunity to play in two different modes), and I enjoyed the change from locating objects on a list to locating objects that were connected to one another because it really made you think.

I loved it, as I did the first one. Played through twice, also, to see the difference. If you really don't want to listen to the dialogue, you can hit the space bar to skip. However, the storyline is interesting, I think. Can't wait for the next installment.
