GameSpot reviews Jack Keane

Deck 13 Interactive is proving that 2006's Ankh was no fluke. The German developer's follow-up, Jack Keane, is every bit as colorful and cheerful as that romp through a Disney-fied ancient Egypt. It was also one of those rare adventures that worked for kids and adults. The two games are actually very similar in just about every way, with the same cutesy humor and lighthearted derring-do shifted a few millennia forward in time. A reliance on obscure, overly traditional puzzles spoils the party somewhat, but these old-fashioned conundrums aren't going to trouble your noggin too much.

The Good
* Charming, cartoonish plot and visuals
* Sensible puzzles.

The Bad
* A little too derivative of traditional adventures in spots. (Jack Keane, PC) 7/10
