This is a little known prequel to Big Red Adventure, a cartoon adventure by
Italian developer Dynabyte. Like in its followup, you take the role of three different
heroes (though, opposite to Goblins series, one at time). They are Doug, the smart
safe cracker; Dino, the strong, but dumb, boxer; and Donna, the sexy club dancer.
The gameplay takes place in Tokyo. While all three characters explore almost the same
areas, each of the heroes has its own story to follow and puzzles to solve. You can
choose which character would you like to play first, and which lastly. When you have
finished all three sub-plots, you'll get a final with all three characters acting
altogether. The game features cartoonish, comics-style graphics, unique icon-based
interface and non-linear plot. It is also full of Italian humor, and the game is
played more like a comedy, rather then crime-based adventure (unlike The Clue!).
The interface recalls Activision's later Return To Zork, with pop-up icons that
change depending on items and situation. Overall, it's a fun above-average game with
logical puzzles. In Mar/2021, the game was made freeware by the developers. |
