Deja Vu
Reviewed by Qui-Gon
This is an excellent role-playing/adventure/point n' click game.
It was made by Kemco Seika in I think the mid to late 80's. It is
well worth the money, but I don't recommend to people who don't
like games that require patience and real thinking. But it is a
good game, made very similar to the earlier Shadowgate (another
wonderful game) and The Univited which I heard isn't anything
special, but that's opinion. It is also like Maniac Mansion, which
I am saving up to buy.
Graphics 6.5 out of 10
Well come on, these point n' clickers don't focus on graphics, but
I do thing some of the graphics are worthy of the 6.5, and the
colors really stand out.
Music and Sound 7.5 out of 10
Even though most NES music was dumb, the music was good about
conveying the entire mood of the situation, and their were plenty
of different tunes for different scenarios. This quality really helps
further define most areas and events.
Game Challenge 8 out of 10
If you do not have a walktrough for this game, then expect to
spend a looooooooooooooooooonngg time on this game. There
are some things you have to do that take some thinking. But
luckily, it isn't so bad that it tips the frustration scale.
Game Play-Fun 11 out of 10
I know, 11 outta 10 is incorrect mathematical solution
percentage-wise, but who really cares? This game will have
you hooked. The problems, the story, it is really exquisite.
Frustration
With out a walkthrough or FAQ, some of the puzzles can get to
you, but like I said, it isn't so hard that it totally tips the frustration
scales. If you aren't patient and aren't inclined to reading walkthroughs,
you may not like this game.
Replayability 8 out of 10
I played this 6 times and loved every time. Need I say more?
Game Value 9 out of 10
If you've got the money, you think you'd like it, then buy it!!!
But I also recommend you read other reviews to get other opinions.
You can buy it online or if your lucky, you might get even cheaper
at a garage sale, or some toy stores. But, it is in you're best
interest to get more opinions. But in mine, this is a great game!
Overall 9 out of 10
I got this a while ago, and since then I've beaten it 6 times! The
fun & replay value are extraordinary. This game is very good!
