5.0 out of 5 stars
Awesome game!,
By Mr Horse (UK) - See all my reviews
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Another World: 15th Anniversary Edition (PC CD) (Video Game)
My dad had this game on his Commodore Amiga, and it is without a doubt one of the greatest games of all time! Me and my brother absolutely loved this and we both played it to death!To those who have never played or even heard of this game before, you play the role of Lester Chaykin who has been zapped into a strange alien world by a lightning storm whilst doing an experiment at a laboratory. The world he has entered is a very dark world full of deadly creatures, traps, slavery and war. You eventually befriend an alien (who you meet early on as your cell mate as you are eventually captured), and together the two of you must try to escape the city of which both of you are being held. The reason why this game is such a favourite among many gamers is because of one thing... the sheer imagination! The amount of effort that was put into creating the alien world is fantastic. All of the locations and creatures are beautifully realised, and although the graphics look dated the superb animation still shines through today as it did back in 1991. Even the tiniest details, such as Lester opening a can of pop, still makes me smile. But it's not just the brilliant world and its inhabitants that make this game great. The game's atmosphere makes you feel like you are Lester himself. Every scene in the game is packed full of little details. One example is that in the first scene, as you are walking across a land full of rocks, you can hear the wind whistling in the background. Occasionally the screen will also shake and you'll hear a rumbling sound, as well as seeing small rocks falling in the background! :) Another thing to note is that because it is set in a dark alien world, you'd expect it to be scary right? Well guess what... Another World succeeds at that too! The beast that drops down in front of you still scares me today, and the caves scene is still downright frightening as they are very dark and you always have a feeling that there will be some kind of nasty monster lurking around the corner. One final thing I would like to point out is the wonderful music and SFX by Jean-Francois Fretas. The SFX is absolutely amazing in this game, right down to the firing of the laser gun! Music wise, there are only two tunes played throughout the game (the intro and the ending), but both of them are fantastic. They capture the feeling and essence of the game perfectly, and are the most memorable tunes ever produced for a video game. In fact, I am humming the tunes right now as I type this! This game puts most modern games to shame. If your knowledge of retro gaming is restricted to the likes of Sonic, Mario, Pac Man etc, try this out and compare to games like Sonic 1 (ie games released in 1991). You will see that this game is vastly different, and why it is loved so much. Despite me finishing the game about 100 times, I still bought this set as I still love this game to bits after all these years. I urge those who don't have this one in their collection to buy this immediately!

One of the best games ever!!!,

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Another World: 15th Anniversary Edition (PC CD) (Video Game)
I was just thinking about this game today, when I saw this new release!!It's a really old game (15 years already? wow, time goes fast) and I played it (and finished it) several times on my Amiga. If you are not familiar with it, know that you are a scientinst working in a lab trying to do some experiments on dimensional portals, and eventually a lightning strikes and bam! You find yourself in another alien dimension. It's mostly a puzzle game (similar to the old Prince of Persia of that time) and it will completely immerge you into the alien world. If this is the exact same game, and you are a teenager, don't buy it. You will most likely be disappointed by the primitive graphics and 2-D. But if you have an open mind and want to know more about one of those Epic games that was...give it a go. But treat it like a modern Adventure game. Enjoy!

This review is from: Another World: 15th Anniversary Edition (PC CD) (Video Game)
An Excellent little game, i had never heard of this and just came across it as i was looking for a old school platformer to play on Windows Vista. It has what looks like really basic graphics but it just brings the world alive. I cant really explain it well but this game is really cool. Go and buy it....... NOW!
