I can see what the designers were trying to do, and I have to applaud their efforts, but I can’t really say that they accomplished what they planned. It also introduces yet another completely different graphic style within the game.īut where the character graphics verge on the low-tech side, the environments, fantastic music and general feel of the alien world around you more than make up for it. They’d probably look really good on film, but as 256-color VGA animation, they’re very grainy. They mostly tend to serve to bridge scenes as such, they’re eye candy. The rendered animations from Industrial Light and Magic, highly touted as the first time a movie SPFX company has worked on a computer game, do very little for me. For a game intent on dramatic expression, neither the character animations nor the voice acting are all that great. This time they’re a bit less effective because of the blocky VGA characters’ inability to convey emotions without artificial close-ups. Graphically the game is equally similar to Full Throttle, Indiana Jones or Sam & Max.
