Everyone on a.b.c.i.x knows of the game... And that is about 9/10 of the users of this board

Yeah, but if they are like me they usually pass on games without easily accessible reviews, or quite simply Euro Trash

Silence: Think before you buy this game though, it's not worth shelling out some major cash for - the puzzles are pretty simple, it's almost like an adventure game for "beginners" in that it tells you a lot of stuff. But you get to HACK in the game so that redeems itself

Haven't done that yet though...

I've had this game awhile back for PC (I've only played 5min of it and forgot about it for reasons unkonown to me).

The game is actually made after a popular TV series in the UK called Largo Winch. And the guy who voices Largo in the game, is the same guy in the TV series (so I'm positive it's not Ryo from Shenmue). I don't live in the UK but I researched the game before I got it for PC.

Yes, actually it is based on a french cartoon from what I've read, so the voices are different. I have to thank swat for the recommendation, I picked up a copy today and so far I like it. The voice acting and lip syncing is very questionable, but I'm enjoying what I've played so far, which is good enough for me as I've been dying for a break from all the clone/copycat sports and action titles on xbox.

Yeah the lip synching is pretty bad. I grew up playing adventure games (Quest Series, DOTT, Grim, etc) so I'm enjoying this one, even though it's "good" but not "great". I think I'm almost FPS'd out. Well, almost.

Nah its not from UK its from the Frogs across the channel hence its weirdness and shite humour. I had it a while back on PC and i thought the game had some good points but the dialogue bored me to sleep

so i gave up about half way through the game.

I have had this game for about 6 months and have not bothered to play it not one bit, but since you guys say it's great in a way...then I guess I'll check it out! thx. But I have a shit load (150 maybe) of titles that are collecting dust.
