Reviews for Contact Sam Cruise (#1055)

Review by The Dean of Games on 01 Mar 2010 (Rating: 5)

From the authors of the excellent Skool Daze and Back to Skool. If you loved those two you will love this! This game continues in the same vein as the previous two, but with a thicker plot and even better graphics. You play the role of private eye detective Sam Cruise and your quest is to help your lovely client, Luscious Lana, in a case called the Bali Budgie. To do that you will need to contact a lot of the game characters for clues, and avoid being hit by the Mafia snipers. There are some details which are simply delicious, such as pieces of paper flying thru the air on streets, which you have to catch by jumping over them. The way characters use their arm to ring a bell, etc. You can even use disguises to obtain your results. The game has the same magic as did Skool Daze and Back to Skool. The only letdown is the fact that you can't see the inside of buildings as you did in the other 2 games (besides when standing by windows or on staircases) this makes the game less appealing and sometimes confusing in my view, although prettier, but less involving, still that doesn't diminish it a single bit of a byte. Simply brilliant!

This game would be cool if only I knew how to get out from the building ...
