Do you have a hideously large range of incidental knowledge, pertaining to thermodynamics, old films and how various pieces of machines work?
If so, this is the game for you! For the rest of us, however, some of the solutions can seem totally out of the blue and illogical. It has an okay graphical range; while designs are good and dynamic, they aren't very interesting or original, and the lip sync is a joke, but then, so is much of the dialogue, and not the funny kind.
Truly, with some greater effort to logical puzzles, it may have been a worthwhile venture back into the point and click adventures of old... Unfortunately, for a while, all it was was a bitter memory of why the genre was dying out.
