I really tried hard to like this game. Core made two very similar adventure games - Curse of Enchantia and Universe - and both made the exact same mistake. The controls are a nightmare! Universe is even worse though (if that's possible) - I was playing it earlier today, and you got a simple "use" command yet you can also have a more accurate form of using an item on another.

For example, to open a panel with a metal bar, you don't use the bar on the panel, you "insert" the bar into the panel. Erm what o_O? You insert a bar in the SPACE between the panel and the satelite dish, you don't actually insert it into the panel itself. It's just plane stupid to not allow you to just use the bar on the panel. Oh no.

Enchantia doesn't even have the advantage of a futuristic setting so I like playing it even less. Even the simplest of tasks becomes a nightmare when you end up struggling more with the interface than with the actual puzzles. A lot of the time you try something you think should work and the game tells you it doesn't, yet when you then read the walk through after getting stuck, it tells you the idea was right but you used the wrong button in the inventory. Thank GOD Core Design stuck to Tomb Raider after this.

Default Pathetic Review

I just have to comment on the idiocy of the person who wrote the review. Obviously he/she has NEVER heard of, let alone played a point-and-click adventure before and couldn't even define the genre! This is a classic game in the mould of such other great point-and-click adventures as the Monkey Island series, Day of the Tentacle and Sam and Max (albeit notes well known as these titles)... I could go on. Next time, do some research before you come up with such a useless, underdeveloped excuse for a pathetic, reactive attempt at what cannot be called a review.

minimally on the screenshots it doesn't look like classic lucas arts adventure. and he also mentions that there are some platformer elements in it. although i haven't played the game

anyways, the person who wrote the review is not active anymore so your rant is as much useless as trying to have a normal dialogue with fan boys like you
