Hey Gamers! I just finished Drawn: Dark Flight and it's near perfection! However, I'm afraid my chores, boyfriend, and other things got left in the dust just a bit while I was absorbed, okay obsessed, with this game!
Drawn: Dark Flight is the second in an ongoing series developed by Big Fish Games. Once again you must help Iris, only this time it's the entire town that is in danger. The game ends with a cliffhanger, and leaves you wanting, no needing, the next game in this installment!
The graphics in this game are stellar, as I said before, the artwork is so good in this game the artist(s) won an award at E3 this year! The ambience, mostly rain, thunder, fire, etc. is perfect. It really sets the mood. The voices, although few, are spot on. The puzzles in this adventure game, remember this is not a hidden object game, range from easy to difficult. I would have to say that most of the puzzles were moderate with several extremely difficult puzzles. No worries, there are video solutions for some of the hardest puzzles in the game.
All that aside, I do have one small complaint about the game. Unlike the first in the series, Drawn: The Painted Tower, this game lacks paintings to explore. My favorite aspect of the first game was exploring the paintings. I was disappointed to find only a handful of paintings and not much to do in them. Other than that, the game is nearly perfect. Can I give it a one and half thumbs up?
So, what's next? Well, first I have to catch up on the chores. The horses won't muck the stalls themselves. Shame, if they did they'd be the perfect animal! My boyfriend is a little sore with me, after all this is a long distance relationship and I'm ignoring him for a game? Ah well, he'll get over it, after all who can resist little ole me? _wink_ Then I should probably at least let my family know I am in fact alive and after that I'll start another guide. I don't know what yet, but I'm eyeing up some other games that have been simply collecting dust on my computer. Hopefully they will turn out to be real gems just like the Drawn games have been! Until next time, happy gaming and enjoy your summer!
