Customer Reviews of Starship Titanic: First Class Cruise kit
I expected a very complex and fun game That was what I expected. I feel that the game was a let down overall because I kept expecting something really cool to happen, but it pretty much never did. It was kind of interesting at best. I gave two stars because three would indicate that I found it worth while. Most of the puzzles where either easy, or lacking in the ability to be solved without hints. I don't think I could have done it without the strategy guide that came with it. Also, I found that one of the puzzles didn't work in the way the manufacturer probably intended. To be fair, the humor was funny and very PYTHON which I liked. Additionally, I thought the whole concept was very good and I kept expecting some cool things to happen, but ultimately it did not pan out. Good Try.
And now, for something completely titanic...
Starship Titanic is not based on Hitchhiker's Guide, but is very similiar in style. The game is very good, but can be difficult at times. However, unlike most games where dialogue is just something to proceed the plot, in this game it is actually a funny and entertaining diversion thanks to the great dialogue engine and voice acting. Between the funny, but annoying parrot and the Elevator attendant who constantly talks about his wartime exploits (what war, we don't know). Buy this game if you want a funny and interesting ride. Also, buy the book to learn about the story.
Well, he knows how to write good books
The game was quite a bit of a letdown, as I am a big fan of Douglas Adams. Unfortunately, the game is not all that fun as a game. I felt even let down in the humor (or should I say humour) department as well. It did not seem as though Mr. Adams had full control over the project, as bits and pieces seemed to be his sense of humor, and other bits seemed to be a watered down Monty Python attempt. The bits that are funny are definitely funny, especially the talking message delivery system things. The look of the environs were astoundingly beautiful, but I feel that it lacked a soul behind it. The game puzzles were at times very easy, and other times astoundingly non-intuitive and difficult. For instance, there is one puzzle that simply does not give you a clue that you are doing the right thing, and you have to do it repeatedly for the game to finally give in and let you have the victory. I won't say what it is, but it involves someone's butt. Overall, the humor was what kept this from getting a one star review, but even that was a disappointment.
