Once I killed a man. His name was Mario, I think. His brother Luigi was upset at first, but adamant to continue on the adventure that they started together.

jaz is back to save the day again:

Cirque de Zale â€" journey to another dimension

There was just an innocent prank at the beginning, then revenge and journey to another dimension: a fairy tale world. And there â€" quest for saving the world and a beautifull princess? No… Cirque de Zale is not in any case an ordinary adventure game…

At the beginning there was a little prank. The hero, Alexander Zale, a janitor in not so trendy circus  whose duties consist mainly of disposing excrements played this one on his mean annoying and conceited boss â€" a charlatan sorcerer Astoundo. When Astoundos hassle finally crossed the line Alexander decided to prepare a little mean surprise for the bloke. He chose his hat â€" main propriety of the show and he put one shovelfull of excrements inside. During his stunt Astoundo pompously thrust his hands into the hat only to pull out a piece of elephant shit instead of cute bunny. No wonder the Master of Magic was rather upset. In fact he was in a rage â€" and the aftermath was totally unexpected one. Astoundo cast a spell â€" a real one!- and sent Alexander to another dimension and left him helpless in a foreign city in a foreign land.

Alexander gathers first pieces of advice from a man who saw his arrival and goes to visit the king. The two headed king offers him a chance to become a real hero â€" an evil sorcerer threatens the country and has kidnapped the princess â€" and it surely was a work of fate that Alexander came at this very place at this very moment, he will become a saviour! A stereotypical plot. But Alexander is different and he turns down the offer. His ambitions are to become a principal of his very own Circus, much better and inviting than the one he worked in

Hiring new artists and stunts is the main scope of this game which is one of today's most funny and playable point ‘n' click adventures. The game literally overflows with jokes and keeps Simon the Sorcerer line. The humour is pitch black and characters like cricket players, impolite fisherman, broke entertainer, blind xylophone tuner and many others will make you laugh. Dialogues are perfect as well.

Gamedesign itself doesn't much suffer from flaws, logical puzzles are really logical and often very creative and it's also nice that player always knows what is expected from him thanks to main character's comments.

The interface uses SCUMM and is similar to classic LEC ones form the beginning  of nineties
Graphics wise the game brings back memories of MI or DOTT â€" beautiful, in 320x200 resolution. Especially the character sprites and animations are excellent. Backgrounds are a bit inconsistent. Some are breathtaking, others seem to be a bit rushed and would deserve more attention to detail.
There are only a few tunes thus they become repetitive soon. There are no voices.

Surprise named Cirque de Zale left The Inventory editor Dimitris Manos breathless. The game was awarded Title of the Month even though Syberia 2 was reviewed in the same issue! 18% higher rating than potential blockbuster from Microids speaks for itself. The first effort by Rebecca Clements is of course not free from minor bugs but it shouldn't put you off avid playing.


Double thumbs up!
