As the game progresses, the player switches roles back-and-forth between male and female protagonists. As each, encounters with other characters are regular and most are very well portrayed. The strong characterisation presented from the cartoon visuals is doubled by the impact of the well-pitched script, and the reliance on clichés is simply a product of the grin-inducing humour that the later stages of the game produce. While far from being a competitor to the Sam & Max thrown, Fenimore Fillmore's Revenge will raise more smiles through its quips than it does tempers with its occasionally misrepresented puzzles.
ACG is privileged to have an opportunity to interview Revistronic's cofounder, Rodrigo Castillo. In the interview, he speaks about the history of the Fenimore Fillmore series, his own attraction to the Western genre, what gamers can expect from the final game in the trilogy, and where his company will be heading in the future.
Overall, it feels more natural and accessible than the previous titles in the series. The easy play and neutral setting means this game is ideal for gamers wanting to sample the adventure genre. However, the drastic style change and technical glitches have also weighed down the game's full potential.
Resolution writes: "You would have thought that, after the storyline and puzzles, there wouldn't be much to get right in a point-and-click adventure, mainly the pointing and clicking bit. But I soon grew tired of watching my little cowboy not understanding where I wanted him to go, deciding instead to spin around in a circle a few times before finally getting the gist of what I wanted him to do."
