All the buildings on Citadel island were in more or less the same place in both games, but it was easier to navigate (and less claustrophobic). Also being able to save any damn time I feel like is a massive improvement over the first game's set up.Īnother thing that definitely helps is the new improved 3D engine that gives outdoors a new dimension, as it meant that I had a much better idea of my surroundings. I think it helps that I was allowed to walk around Citadel Island for a bit and get the hang of the game before being shot at everywhere I went by fascists this time around. Little Big Adventure 2 is a whole lot like Little Big Adventure 1, which makes it difficult for me to figure out why I like it so much more. A small price to pay to be able to avoid buying ferry tickets ever again. I did it! I cured my Dino-Fly, and all it took was mastering the mystic arts, banishing a storm, getting some radical air in my 4x4, leaving the world vulnerable to alien invasion, and asking every single person on an island where the bloody school of bloody magic was. It makes a big change from some of the retro games I've been playing lately where it's been a real effort to find the next person who had anything relevant to say. If he needs to get somewhere or find something, then that's what he'll ask people about. So I went off asking NPCs for directions until I finally found him living near the ruins of the old citadel.īut now the Weather Wizard needs me to go find the lighthouse keeper, so I have to go out asking NPCs again! I don't get to choose my own dialogue, but I have to give the game credit as Twinsen will always talk about what's on his mind. I was told there to go find the Weather Wizard, who is the only one who can sort this storm out. Okay here's the story so far: I went to the docks, but couldn't buy a ferry ticket because the bad weather is preventing boats from leaving the harbour.

Couldn't he just use a message boxes like everyone else in this world? Especially as the game has full speech, so this is basically just subtitles for me. I hope three whole years was enough time for them to think hard about what they did and come up with some improvements for the sequel.Īgh, too many words! My screen's been blocked off by a wall of text.
The game came out in 1994 and they hadn't figured out yet that it's not a good idea for the hero to lose health by walking into walls. I definitely gave the first Little Big Adventure a go early last year though, and I wasn't impressed. I don't think I've ever played this before, but it's hard to know for for sure.
The first game was about a friendly magician who lived in a cartoony world of rabbit people and elephant folk, and they renamed it Relentless! That's the video game title equivalent of drawing frowny eyebrows on Kirby game covers. I've no idea why the people in charge of the America release had such a hate on for the original name, but at least they picked something that fits better this time around.
Though it'd be a 'T' game in North America and Brazil, as the game was retitled Twinsen's Odyssey. Today's 'L' game is classic DOS action-adventure sequel Little Big Adventure 2.
