Before reading this, you might want to check out The Clue!. This game is actually called The Clue 2 (in Germany). It's a game in which the adventure style The Clue! had, is exchanged for more of a freeplay game. But the game's story has become more of an adventure style. Where in The Clue you could select even the most impossible robbery at the beginning of the game, here you're bound to a certain gaming line.
Ok, but what the hell are you talking about? Well, I'll tell you. |

| In this game you're a criminal, just released from prison and your job is to perform a couple of robberies in order to acquire a good sum of money. With this money, you can buy axes to smash doors to pieces, buy crowbars, for the more subtile people amongst you and obtain lockpicks, for the ones who prefer to be quiet. Eventually, you will be able to buy a better getaway car and more. |

 You can "hire" accomplices, if you can't perform a robbery on your own. They all have specific skills, just like you. You can develop your skills by performing certain actions yourself, but that also means your criminal record grows. When recording a robbery, you can freely walk around the building and guards and other people will not notice you, but when you click perform, your recording will be played and you "lose" whenever they see you.
The good points about this game is 3D environment in which you can walk freely and look around as you wish, the sense of reality, which means you can't use an axe when you're 3 meters behind a guard or police officer. He will probably hear it.
And then, the bad points, well, also the lack of reality. Guards walk around and always perform the same actions, you can walk 1 meter behind him and he will not discover you're around, but he will hear when you use a crowbar 6 meters away from him. They don't hear you opening doors, while it's a pretty loud sound you're hearing yourself. But as we call it in The Netherlands, let's not go antf*cking about this. It's a good game. Another bad point is the adventure style story line. I would love to try and rob a bank, just to try and see what happens and what's so special about it. But you might see it as a goal for later on.
My conclusion is that this is a top game. Even though there are bad games, it's fun to play, for everyone. Just walking around the game seems pretty much fun. I would not be able to choose between The Clue! and this one, but if you would exchange the bad points out of this one, with the good points in The Clue! and improve the sense of reality, I would never stop playing this game, I can assure you that! |
