It's buttery smooth performance-wise (on iPad Air for my first half hour at least), the visuals are amazing, the soundtrack is as good as any that you will EVER hear and the controls are neatly implemented. And it's a Tim Schafer game!!! It's so amazing I can't quite contain myself. Pretty gutted that I'm off to work for the next 8 1/2 hours. Waited a looooong time for this. jamesmcadams82 Well-Known Member Sep 4, 2012 85 2 8 #17 jamesmcadams82, Jun 12, 2014 To be honest, aside from the bigger screen to appreciate the art, I can't see anything so far that couldn't work as well on an iPhone screen. I don't know if a port is out of the question from statements made in the past, but I can't see a reason why it couldn't be done well. As I say, though, I'm only half an hour in. Pepelutin Well-Known Member Feb 14, 2013 308 0 0 Music teacher Belgium #18 Pepelutin, Jun 12, 2014 Thanks! Does anyone knows about how long it takes to finish it? jamesmcadams82 Well-Known Member Sep 4, 2012 85 2 8 #19 jamesmcadams82, Jun 12, 2014 From what I can gather, between 2-4 hours. The two biggest complaints I've read are that it's too short and it doesn't end neatly, even given that it's only the first episode (The Walking Dead gives a good example of how to wrap up an episode well while still setting you up for more). Apparently it pretty much just stops unexpectedly. Those issues haven't stopped it getting rave reviews, though. I'd give metacritic a look. redribbon Well-Known Member Jun 11, 2010 2,799 53 48 entepreanur,programmer #20 redribbon, Jun 12, 2014 Last edited: Jun 12, 2014 Yes. Its in there. and my early impression in short, this game is really polished and highly developed by people with talent. I only playing for almost an hour and still wants to go deeper into the story. The soundtrack, hand drawing artwork, graphics, animation, controls, user interaction, etc are highly polished. Gameplay video will be post in short. For the rest please take a note from quick imps by jamesmcadams82. I agree by everything he said above. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
