Yeah, I liked the game. It has a exciting storyline, nice animations, catchy music tunes and laughable humor. It was like a funny clay cartoon. I feel sorry for the guys that the game didn't sell so much. It would be fun if they made a sequel to that game because I don't think the Neverhood story would end there.

It's called the Neverhood and yes, I played it. It's made by DreamWorks (Those guys were part of the team making Chicken Run, for example)  The main character Klaymen roX0r2!!!

EDIT: They used 5 tons (!) of clay making that game!! WHOEEEEEE!!

The Neverhood has one of the most amazingly useless-yet-useful rooms in any game I've ever played. The 22 screen wide storyroom. It's amazing. It's also a total pain in the posterior to walk through. But it's a fabulous game. Eating the mushrooms (?) and belching for 5 minutes straight was hilarious.

I've never played it but I really want too. I never realised it was by Dreamworks until I saw a review of it not so long ago. I wonder if you can still buy it budget.

And OMG! Miez!!

Neverhood is an excellent non-standard adventure game. It's one of those games you get just two or three item puzzles and the rest are like board puzzles. I think the atmosphere created for this game is one of the best I've ever seen in an adventure game. You really feel pretty lonely when walking through that huge world rarely seeing any living creature. The clay graphics are outstanding. The 'behind the scene' that's on the CD made me laugh, have you seen it? I highly recommend this game, though it's not as DOTT or KQ or the other adventure games we're used to.

The sequel was a PS sidescroller called Skullmonkeys. I have it right here. I am looking at. It is beautiful. And fun! I've never played the Neverhood though. I couldn't get the Underdogs one to work on my computer for some reason.
