Not satisfied with just having a successful television series, Dr. Gregory House has decided to enter the world of video games. House M.D. attempts to recreate the combination of drama and humor that has made its TV counterpart such a success, only in the form of an adventure game. The title manages to capture some of that charm, but thanks in large part to some frustrating mini-games, it ends up being a bit of a tough pill to swallow that will likely only appeal to fans.
IGN - I'm going to keep this one really short, since anyone who's previously read my thoughts on House M.D. -- Episode 2: Blue Meanie or House M.D. -- Episode 3: Skull and Bones should be able to predict where this fourth installment is headed. Yes (shockingly!) it's more of the same.
Jorge from Toronto Thumbs reviews House M.D. for the PC.
From the review:
"Legacy Interactive’s House M.D. for the PC follows the adventures of the ever-cantankerous Dr. Gregory House, diagnostics wizard at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey and is based on the hit television show of the same name. I am a huge fan of the series so I was understandably both excited and fearful when I found out that this game existed. The creators tried hard to have the game live up to the awesomeness of the show. Does it succeed? Check out my diagnosis to find out."
Do we get Bioware/Bethesda dialog choices? Ones ranging from 'funny' to 'total incensitive prick'? I would love that!
Hahaha I love that idea! If the game had that in there, I'm sure it would have been a lot better.
Mindscape have announced that it will be releasing House M.D., the official game of the international TV hit, throughout Europe exclusively on Nintendo DS. Developed by Legacy Interactive, House M.D. places gamers at the heart of the medical action, tasking them with solving five unique medical mysteries at the Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital.
