[*]Publisher: 10TACLE
[*]Developer: Deck13
[*]Genre: Adventure
[*]Release date: Q4 2007
[*]Story/Description:
Quote:


Colonial England. Under a certain amount of… duress… Jack takes on a job which will not only cause him a great deal of trouble, but also bring to light the answer to a mystery out of his distant past. A lack of money leads Jack to accept a charter to take a British secret agent to mysterious “Tooth Island”. When Jack’s ship shatters on the mysterious island’s cliffs on arrival and the secret agent quickly becomes a meal for a monster in the jungle, Jack is soon left to cope with the situation on his own.

“Tooth Island” is ruled by the strange Doctor T, who is cultivating man-eating plants and has his own dastardly plans for the British Empire. And why does he seem to know Jack, who can’t remember ever having been on Tooth Island? What are Doctor T's plans? And what does he know about Jack’s past?

And then there’s the young and naive Amanda, who is filled by an almost fanatical drive to prove her worth. In the beginning the young lady is employed by Doctor T, and part of her task is to track Jack down and take him prisoner. It doesn’t take long before she begins to wonder if she is really on the right side, or if she shouldn’t join her opponent, the charming Captain Jack, instead.

A hair-raising hunt across the length and breadth of the dangerous island finally airs the mystery surrounding Jack’s past and leads to a spectacular showdown with a dark and deadly enemy and his nefarious henchmen.

It's not THAT good... German reviewers sometimes overrate a German-made game. I'd give it 85% - 90%, it was fun, but not great.

Cool game so far though I just started playing, also very easy to adjust via a settings.INI file in the Documents and Settings/User folder (Depending on the OS used.)

Settings:
 Spoiler:
 

(Game only supported 1440x900 so I manually increased it to 1680x1050 with small adjustments to texture resolution and detail to maximize visual quality.)

So far it feels quite similar to Monkey Island 3 and the Runaway games. Smile



(Intro sequence, very similar to the intro in Monkey Island 3.)


(Evil professor and assistant, quite cliche but it works.)


(Start of the game.)

EDIT: Will be interesting to see what happens in chapter three.

I'm a Daemon Tools Pro customer so I use version .220 but it should work fine with version .118 as well since .220 is mainly minor fixes and improvments.
(Just remember to use the latest SPTD drivers - at this moment those are at version 1.55)

Currently in chapter two but the game crashed during a conversation with some blonde woman whom will probably be important later in the story so I need to redo a bit.


(Perhaps I shouldn't have bothered her, though it didn't crash until later anyway. )

Quite a few hidden references and jokes in this title, saw a old adventurer suit for sale in a "adventure shop" complete with hat and whip, also found some "bonus object" (Dr T.'s tea container - part of the story is about tea it seems.) in a back alley, probably used to unlock extra content as there's such a option in the main menu.

EDIT: Picture of those "Bonus" canisters.

Thanx Becks. I will definitely try it!
