Tak za prvé,

- jedna z nejhorších her vůbec
- grafika odpovídá grafice před rokem 1980
- občasné bugy

za druhé,

NEKUPOVAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A když se dostane na váš disk. okamžitě odinstalovat, hrozí velké riziko návštěvy Chocholouška, takže bacha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm amazed at this short point & click game because it has the most interesting story I have ever listened to in a while & I'll try to explain why I like this game. (I might give spoilers because I want to be 100% accurate or at least try to)

Pros:

1. Remember My Shivah Review when I said the lack of clues was an issue? In this game it is a huge improvement & I'm glad WadJet Eye Games took a notice of adding more clues to combine

2. This game has an interesting concept about the paranormal & a ghost whisperer named Rosa Blackwell who can't get over that she has a quest to save every lost soul in the world with the help of another ghost named Joey Mallone a.k.a The Blackwell's Family Guide

3. Good Voice Acting

4. Good Commentary

5. Good Art

6. The game has lots of references like for example the KISS poster in Kelly's room (Dave Gilbert explains all the references he made if you turned on the commentary)

7. I might be the only one that thinks this but when Joey & Rosa are together it was a laugh riot for me

8. The puzzles in the game are good

9. Good Music

10. Accurate Locations In New York City like for example the Brooklyn Bridge

Cons:

1. This is a minor complaint but some of the commentary repeats itself

2. Some of voice actors do breath pops when they're talking but that's just a minor complaint

3. You can't combine much items (The only item you can combine in your inventory is the dog treat & pill)

Overall I want everyone to play this game because ghosts are awesome & WadJet Eye Games did a good job on this game.

Similar to Shiva - usual Dave Gilbert style - short, "realistic" in emotional and overall sense (if you accept medium and ghosts as "realistic of course :)), offering life-like alternatives. Too short by itself. But if you treat it as "chapter one" in Blackweel series - it's okay. Puzzles can be counted by fingers of one hand, but at least one of them is good - I really liked it.

Completionists can aim to get all achievements since game is so short it's very quick to replay once again.

Overall recommended as a short "medium story" by itself and also as first chapter in Blackwell series.

If you liked Shiva, you'll like this one too.

The Blackwell Legacy is the first game in the Blackwell series (the others being Blackwell Unbound, Blackwell Convergence and Blackwell Deception in order of release, with a fifth and final game coming soon).

Modled on old school point and click adventure games, this takes both the good and the bad from the genre. While the story and the characters (and when I say characters I mean the protaganists) are well developed and some of the puzzles are well thought out, there's a lot of backtracking and a few puzzles that just don't work and the game refuses to help assist you, with no hints or advice.

The story involes Rosa a young girl in New York whose only relative, her Aunt, recently passed away having spent most of Rosa's life in a mental ward. Whilst investigating a local suicide for a newspaper article Rosa encounters the ghost of Joey Mallone who explains that like her Aunt she is a medium and must help lost sprirts move on.

There's more to the story in the game, and it also develops further over the sequals, so to say anymore would be spoling it. The game is fully voice acted and Rosa and Joey's actors put in excelent performances, though the rest of the characters vary from poor to good. The graphics are relaible, with charcter models and backdrops looking a lot like older P&C adventures, but still seeming fairly modern.

I got stuck once or twice at some of the previously mentioned poor puzzles (THE F&%*ING DOG LEAD) but there are plenty of guides online to help you out. The game is quite short and will proably take aywhere between 2-4 hours to complete first time round, however there are 8 achivements to earn, only 3 of which you get for just playing the game to completeion as standard, and a commentary mode by the creator (wherein he talks about the creation of the game the difficulties and what he learnt from it) which adds extra playtime.

Quick Sumarry:
+ Intresting Story and Charcters
+ Some clever puzzles
+ Good voice acting for the main protagainsts
+ Great music and decent graphics
- Some really frustrating puzzles
- Too much bactracking
- Alot is just set up for the sequals.

Score 7/10

If you're a fan of point'n'click adventures: This is your game series.

+ Amazing writing/dialouges
+ Lovely animated and sophisticated characters/background stories
+ Adult humor
+ Great Story development/excitement curve
+ Awesome voice acting
+ Additional "Behind the Scenes" material and commentary
+ Convincing all-over-atmosphere
+ Fitting music

The story can get quite emotional without relying on heavy romances.
The games are still more of a detective story involving ghosts, personal
tragedies, intrigues, murder and envy.

The series is easily one of the best modern point'n'click productions and
you can really feel the commitment and engagement that was used to produce these games.

If you liked this series, you will probably also like other games from Wadjet Eye:
