In fact, if you adore any movie or series, you will really look forward to the game of your favorite source. If you are a real fan. Then the cheerful face and stylish suit of the doctor on the screen of your monitor will simply become semolina. Gameplay, plot development logic, rendering quality – but who, in fact, is interested in all this? But if you are a fan, you will meticulously verify the correspondence of the smallest filmunuans with similar game. And to be indignant if you do not read the fifth whistle on the left side of the far, without which, of course, there is no correct atmosphere.
Hello from Dumbledore
Specialists from the company Sumo digital, It seems that they only counted on those very genuine fans of the British series Doctor Who. This is evidenced by at least frank “Harropotterity” of the gameplay. You are not reminded of something painfully familiar collectible cards with images of various characters of the series and brief descriptions? Nothing that seventy percent of the total gameplay is a real arcade, although the creators themselves proudly define the genre as adventure? With hot greetings from Knowwonder, Another developer “on the film licensing”.
So, rejoice, about beloved fans: the doctor and his partner Amy Pond returned to their direct duties. They again are going to save poor humanity from the next invaders (a nightmare with this humanity – that neither day, then mortal danger). The good old enemies – banks with rivets, in the sense of far – reached 1963 and destroyed all living things on earth. Now the doctor will have to penetrate into the capital far on a remote planet to return everything as it was.
The degree of absurdity of the plot is quite consistent with the usual scenarios. There is nothing to complain about. The only surviving person on an old woman is a stylishly dressed clean mulatto
with makeup and almost manicure? The costs of the genre, run in dirty rags along the London metro is a bad tone. The invasion of aliens does not exempt from liability for the aesthetics of the appearance. The bombed and almost deserted London literally teems with patrols far away? So just in case. Otherwise you never know, all sorts of doctors are hanging around, disorder! Who does not like it – they can go watch Discovery, and leave pseudo -scientific science fiction with your logic alone.
Naked facts
The series, as you know, is designed for a family audience. You can also watch little children. The creators of the game about the kids have not forgotten. Especially for them, the former London is scattered … Facts.
The doctor approached the overturned column of Nelson – oh, in the lower left corner of the screen, the “fact” will immediately jump out. With information: what kind of monument is one who installed it and why. Or suddenly in the middle of the ruins is new, as just from the conveyor, the car will turn out – the educational function is right there. Now the children will be aware of the case: where such cars were done, how popular they were. Given the accompanying entourage – a global catastrophe, stone crumbs instead of buildings, they are far away – this educational program looks more than ridiculous.
In his free time, we are offered to mainly run away from far. Each reasonable tin has a zone of visibility, which is displayed in the form of a characteristic green beam. It’s better not to climb under it. Moreover, bypassing the enemy by a security forces is easier. Only two things can interfere: not enough flexible control and a stupid partner, which by default drags somewhere behind. Poor Amy constantly strives to get directly under the exterminatus. Nothing can do anything with this – we can influence the movement of the girl very indirectly. By the way, there is also a little help from a friend. The doctor’s companion is clearly working as a captain in his free time from travel. It is worth turning to her for a hint only if we do not understand who we are, where we are and why is it on TV strangely dressed uncles and aunts run.
Opens a fish mouth
In addition to tiring, boring and incredibly monotonous runs behind aliens, the developers slipped us mini-games, no less annoying in essence. Tetris is based on one of them: “Far Symbols” run on the right, and we must quickly substitute exactly the same figures in the field on the left. The other is a cross between the labyrinth with an act of violence over the computer mouse. This is when we must grab a small square or circle and drag it to the “exit” through a narrow tunnel without touching the walls. It is difficult to call such tasks puzzles – the brain is not required for them at all.
However, let’s not forget why it was generally created Doctor Who: The Adventure Games. Charismatic doctor and charming Amy – this is the main center and meaning of Adventura. And it is necessary, what a surprise: here the developers also had a mistake. Firstly, both characters are very conditionally consistent with their living prototypes. Secondly, the “delay” of facial expressions in the context of voice acting irritates. It often happens that, judging by the sound, the hero half a minute he finished his speech, and the image continues to desperately move his lips in the hope of saying something else.
City of the Daleks – bad beginning. Obviously, we are waiting for another uncertain game series on the TV series Television. Even fans can be slightly dissatisfied.
Pros: You can manage the doctor himself.
Cons: inconsistencies in the surroundings;Inappropriate educational program;boring gameplay;Tiring mini-games;Susynchronization of facial expressions and voice acting.
