Posted by strife_leonheart on 2009-05-09 at 04:48 (IP logged): http://www.hotud.org/ That's the new hub of the Underdogs. Fringer had a lot of trouble, but it looks like she's made a great comeback. Posted by accolyte on 2006-07-18 at 12:49 (IP logged): I must say i was a bit disappointed with this game. While the graphics was quite well drawn i found the enviroments lifeless and the animations to be almost nonexistent. Dialouge was also pretty boring and colourless. Puzzles were a mixed bag. Some of them i liked but other were quite obscure and seemed to be throw into the game just for the sake of having puzzles. overall, not a bad game but not that great either. Posted by Doug on 2006-04-27 at 21:43 (IP logged): Hi, I'd really like to play this game, but I can't figure out how to navigate to it on underdogs. Please help! Posted by Desiree Ann Watson on 2005-01-29 at 21:40 (IP logged): I loved this game and would recommend it to anyone who loves adventure games! Posted by PurpleMouse on 2004-09-10 at 06:57 (IP logged): Is there anywhere that I can download this game? Posted by Denis on 2004-07-21 at 07:33 (IP logged): I really liked this game! The storyline is outstanding, the dialogues are very detailed. I liked the different endings and the fact that there is no typical happy-ending. The graphics sometimes look strange and lifeless (a strange mix of raytraced rooms/objects and traditonal 2D-backgrounds) and the music got on my nerves after a while. But the excellent story and puzzles make it one of the best AGS-games! Posted by Isegrim on 2004-04-20 at 03:55 (IP logged): That easily one of the best adventure games I ever played! I really liked the plot with the scientific background, the sympathetic and credible characters, and also the graphics. It just all fits together. Two thumbs up! Posted by Minimi on 2004-03-01 at 05:37 (IP logged): In my opinion, this is the best adventure game made with AGS! Everything was just great! Absolutely fabolous game! Posted by The Weird Sir on 2003-12-22 at 19:29 (IP logged): The main things that stood out for me were the story and interface. This game is a good example of a nicely twisted story, a nice contrast to the typical find-the-treasure or defeat-the-bad-guy "plots." The interface was also well above standard with a simple left or right-click. As for the graphics, they good good, but I found the combination of photographs, 2d art, and 3d rendering rather annoying. Also, the endless elevator music was just... painful. Don't get me wrong, I love piano music, but after hearing the same "soothing" tune over and over I started feeling sick. I can see why these songs were chosen (after all, that's the kind of music played in the background of buildings) but for some inexplicable reason the music aggravated me. Posted by Unimpressed Player on 2003-10-16 at 18:15 (IP logged): Meh. Not that great. The graphics are mediocre at best, the plot is just confusing and makes no sense, and the dialogue is simply awful. Boring boring boring. Posted by Ozwalled on 2003-10-09 at 15:58 (IP logged): Fantastic game, with very little in it that made it anything less than an effort rivaling any pro game. Easily the best AGS full length game I've played to date. Kudos! Posted by mech88 on 2003-08-05 at 07:32 (IP logged): wow...it's almost like it should have been one of those games i paid mucho bucks on a few years ago.....BRAVO man good job....if you ever want to work with me....i mean wow! Posted by Totoro on 2003-07-21 at 10:13 (IP logged): It's fantastic. It's like one of the good old fantastic PROFESSIONAL adventures, with a great atmosphere and haunting story. I love it. Posted by scarydan on 2003-07-09 at 18:08 (IP logged): wow... i can't think of anything else to say, but WOW! meticulously done, i can't flaw it! Posted by straston on 2003-07-07 at 06:20 (IP logged): This is a great game. It has a) interesting characters b) great story c) great graphics The only "bad" thing about this game is that it makes you feel jealous and humble. ;-) Or maybe making such a game is just a goal to aspire. ;-) Posted by volmel on 2003-06-25 at 10:24 (IP logged): One word: Wow. This game blew me away. I couldn't quit playing it. I give it a "10". Posted by mr.panda on 2003-06-20 at 11:07 (IP logged): why does this game have no comments? Why are there not thousands trumpeting praise for this game, which is top 10 all time material? Let me be the first
