A Half-dozen Ways to Save Lives

HIGH The Forensics mode is so great, it could be its own game.

LOW Trying to find the minuscule difference between five CT images.

WTF The phrase "think slowly" does NOT mean the same as "think hard."

For those who may not remember (or for those who missed it the first time… Afrika had ZERO presence) the player takes on the role of a photographer in a relatively unexplored region of Africa. After setting up base camp, requests come in via PC for things like "head-on shot of a zebra" or "monkey in a tree" and so on. At that point, it's up to the player to drive out into the savanna and get the required shots.

The Cash-in

HIGH Taking a long, lonely journey to fight a lost cosmonaut.

LOW The dumbbell-punching minigame you play to build up strength.

WTF I'm fighting a giant balloon?

Absurdly Delightful

HIGH The surreal, abstract nature of the adventure.

LOW Putting important collectibles in action sequences without checkpoints.

WTF Pretty much everything you see on-screen.

Spikes... so many Spikes...

HIGH Utterly elegant from top to bottom.

LOW The difficulty of certain rooms is hateful.

WTF As if anyone could beat this game without a single death...
