Furthermore, it is my opinion that Carthage must be destroyed.

Nice gameplay, interesting story, but fearsome buggy.
Couldn't play it without downloading some savegames.
I wonder if Konami knows that they took the music from Silent Hill.  LOL

Addition : The server hosting the game seems to be connected to a 56k Modem.
It took me 2 hours to download with DSL 6000. :blink:

Did you read Frodo's review? It has the download link for a patch.

Yeah, even with the 1.1 patch there are 2 or 3 situations in the game where your inventory stops working or where you get caught in a loop...

Ah, right. In that case, the best thing would be to describe what bugs exactly you are encountering, so Gord can fix it. He came up with the patch remarkably quickly after Frodo's bug report.

I'm not quite sure what you mean here... :blink:

I guess the story could be cut out - or the ending skipped, sound and music deleted and also deleting the videos... but I think the gameplay would suffer immensly if that is done... LOL

Yo!

Ah. ;)

And the speed is caused by our server. We host the game here LOL
Probably the first guy downloaded it from AGS, or just before we put it on our server.

Edit:
Fixed the size :blink:

Has anybody else played this game?

The age 18 rating seems a bit too high. I've barely played the game but it'd need to be very very gory/violent/pornographic etc etc to get an 18.

A teen rating of 15/16+ would probably be better. I havent played the game much so I cant comment properly but 18 sounds harsh to me. A lot of people will leave the game simply because it has such a high rating.

REPLAYABILITY
The replayability in this game is excellent.  The game is based on the choices you make at varies times

Should that not be various?

Good review by the way Frodo :blink:

Yes.

I know its bloody and that but It's nothing as sick and twisted as ManHunt which in my opinion is the only game I have ever played that deserves an 18. Was a really brutal game, funny as hell. Aslong as the player is quite mature the age ratings don't really apply. It is the way the user interprets the information that really matters. A 'Teen' rating with a nice caution would be better in my opinion. 18 really is a turn off for some people.

It's a real turn-on for others.

Thing is that the age rating on this site is pretty biased, as it's decided by the reviewer/updater.

Also, it is only advisory. Not a rule - like the rating you'll find on commercial games. :blink:

I suppose that means I'm hopelessly immature, then.:blink: I had a brief look at the screenshots and that was enough for me, really...

We also tend to be a bit stricter here with the age rating in order to protect the site's interests :blink:

Even so, I think this game deserves its 18 rating. It's not a shmup, with some gory blood spraying here and there. It's got severe, twisted grotesqueness.
