Games like Runaway: A Road Adventure come along only rarely in the
adventure game genre. Where most games now are trying to use the latest
3D graphics, Runaway takes a step back to give more of the classic
style to the game. Perhaps this is one of the game's best features.
Graphics: The look of Runaway is excellent. From the highly detailed
backgrounds to the interesting characters, everything is right along
with the story. Combining traditional artwork with the new 3D
Cell-shaded technique makes for an interesting blend that works very
well together. The animation also is very well, making for some very
good cut-scenes.
Game play: The game is pretty much a straight forward adventure game,
with all the mouse clicking and inventory fun you can expect. The game
play in Runaway is actually pretty well suited for all players, nothing
too hard or too easy. Some things in the game are very well hidden,
making it a little more difficult then other games of this nature. The
Story is very well throughout and keeps you interested while playing.
Sound: The sound in Runaway is excellent. The dialog and music fits
right along with the game. Some songs tend to be a little repetitive,
but that’s nothing we haven't seen in other games.
Tilt: Over all, Runaway is an excellent game, especially for any
adventure game fan. Combining new and old techniques, they have really
made a great game definitely worth the 30 dollar price tag. Happy
Gaming!
