The Scourge of Worlds: A Dungeons & Dragons Adventure

For those of us who grew up in the early 1980's with some cable companies promising interactive movies this is a dream come true. The interactive part is great and somewhat logical as to what you can do. That said there are a few minor problems.

First while the CG animation is great there are still problems with faces especially in terms of hair or teeth.

Second the lighting of the night scenes varied a great deal. It was like watching one of those old 'B' grade films where the director either had little knowledge on night shots or not enough money to do them right: ie in one scene you can clearly see the characters and in the next you can't see much of anything.

Finally and more annoyingly while there is a way to skip to 6 of the choices (it is 'hidden' in the help section) they are not set up logically. In fact the order of the first two are reversed! Worse yet three of these choices (the middle one of the top three and the last two of the bottom three) have alternative versions and so choosing one of them can cause confusion if you went another path. IMHO it is a good idea to avoid this part of the disk until you have played the adventure several times.

All in all though this is a good first attempt in making use of CG and DVDn technology.
