The transition to the Nintendo DS seems natural for any adventure game, given that all it needs is a simple point-and-click system. Adventure fans may remember Paradise for the PC, which was created by Benoit Sokal, who has worked on several adventure games since starting his own company called White Birds Productions. Paradise is back as Last King of Africa, a remake made specifically to use the DS's touch screen. Focus Home Interactive came by to give GameSpot a first look at the game, and from what they have seen, the game fits nicely into the palm of your hand.
This game does enough things right that for the most part, you'll likely enjoy yourself while playing it. Recommended.
IncGamers reviews Focus Interactive's new adventure title for the DS. Is point-and-click back for good?
i only used to buy point and click games on PC cause they had great graphics. i never liked how they played, i never even finished a point and click game in my life!!!!
'Point-and-click'. Hardly sounds like a recipe for absorbing, fun and entertaining gaming does it? You point at things, then click on them - the story moves on. You could argue the interactive element becomes limited, a bit like trying to salsa while wearing a pair of outsize wellies.
If you're unfamiliar with the adventure game format then we should mention that the point and click genre had its heyday in the '90s with notable titles like the Broken Sword series, Day of the Tentacle and Myst selling in their millions. But when 3D worlds came along they went out of fashion quicker than a Turkey Twizzler at a vegan market.
