A game meant to be read, not played

Adapted from one of Mortimer and Blake' adventures, a famous comic book series made in Belgium, the game follows the original publication step by step. The graphics are partly whole pages of the actual comic [a sample of which is given in the presentation] which serve both as HO Scenes as well as to tell the story. Additional HO Scenes and minigames come in intermittently. They are all hand-drawn, save for photos used either as background to certain scenes or as pictures of objects. The storyline is quite interesting, as all of this pair's adventures are, and narrated with simplicity and not without talent. In fact the game reads like a book that would have a number of interactive episodes. Everything is straightforward, easy, simple. I should say "very basic". No difficulty finding the HOs, no difficulty in any of the minigames which are skippable after a while. The Hint System is slow and not very generous, but there is no reason why it should be; it is limited to 6 Hints maximum, but there's no real need to use them all. Collecting stars provide extra hints. However, there isn't much originality anywhere. Especially the minigames which are rather lame. You even have a Match 3 half way through ! Due to maximum linearity, the adventure aspect is reduced to nil; no location to visit, no exploration, no useful item to find and therefore no action whatsoever. The book was originally published in French. The English translation isn't bad at all on the whole but a few errors caused me to raise an eyebrow; "bar" instead of helm [or wheel], "sticks" instead of twigs, "ax" instead of axe, "pavilion" instead of flag..... From a reader's point of view, the game is worth 4 stars; from a gamer's viewpoint it is hardly worth 2 stars. Let's split that in half and give it a 3 star rating. As regards the recommendation, yes if you want to read a pretty entertaining comic book via your comp, no if gameplay is more important t
