Hector Episode 1 review

Hector Episode 1 Review

**Warning: Awful English**
Alright so this is the first episode in the three episode series of the hector games. This was done by Straandlooper and episodes 2 and 3 were done by telltale games. With that out of the way on with the review.
Story: Your a police-man named hector and you have to do 3 tasks for a mysterious murderer who is attacking the T.W.A.T. team. Simple story-I think it works well.
Humor: This game is supposed to be humorous but I'm not for this kind of humor. The game defiantly is British but it feels like it was written by an american trying to write like a brit. The humor is basically tons of sex jokes and toilet humor. Not my style, I prefer stuff like Sam and Max or Monkey Island. I loved Brutal Legend too for its humor.
Graphics: Now this is mixed. The artstyle is nice and simple and it definantly works. I have one major flaw with it though. Unless you play at 1024x768 the game is forced to a 4:3 border no matter what resolution you pick. that can get annoying. Otherwise this game is fine
Audio: This is one of the games worst points. The audio quality varies constantly. In the cutscenes it sounds good but in the beggining of the game in particular the voice acting is low quality. I also dont think the actor for hector puts in enough effort. He always sounds bored. Look at something like sam and max. Try telling me sam and max sound bored. Sure stinky sounds bored but thats her personality and that makes sence for that character. I cant think of a single actor in this game that sounded like they gave it their all.
Gameplay: Its a point and click. there isnt much to say here. Puzzles, puzzles, puzzles.
Replay Value: The game took me only 87 minutes and since its a point and click once you beat it you wont want to go back as its pointless.
The Verdict: The game is short, the gameplay is a typical point and click, the audio is bad. The voice actors dont give enough effort, the game is stuck at 4:3 unless your playing in 1024x768 and the game tries to be so crue that it gets unfun and annoying.
I give this game a 4/10 with the title of play a diffrent point and click, this one isnt worth the effort.
