Video Game Reviews of Jack The Ripper
Customer Review: Dark and Seedy Game
Summary: 5 Stars
This game actually made some horror game lists - and for good reason. It's quite dark and scary. If you are interested in an adventure game that has a good story, some easy puzzles and solid voice acting at a good price this is your game.
The graphics in this game are functional and seedy with some nice rendered backgrounds and characters. The story line along with "puzzles" that fit into the story are quite good actually.
I myself usually play 3rd person adventure games but this game is on my top 10 best games along with ganes like Syberia and The Longest Journey.
The puzzles are very basic and easy to solve without using a walkthrough which was a real plus for me.
In my opinion, this game is what all adventure games should be - a great interactive story. I can recall not too long ago paying $59.99 for games exactly like this one - this game is a real bargin.
