This is a prequel to the first game as we help a 13 year-old Tony solve
his very first case. The game follows one day in the life of Tony as he investigates alien-landings and ancient Indian-cultures in his hometown of Washington, New Mexico
during the early 1950's. But the graphics are also retro, for though they have
progressed from 2D to striking 3D characters, the high-resolution graphics are
presented in an Art Deco-style that pays tribute to the American small-town paintings
of Edward Hopper and it works for the graphics alone are reason to purchase this game.
It's again a point-and-click interface with inventory objects, but now we have
real-time shadows and lightening effects, real-time weather changes and lots of
interactive objects. The developers are promising over 30 rendered locations and
over 20 characters, most of whom, you can be sure, will be slightly eccentric. |
