Pros:
Extremely long epic story, lots of side things to do, challenging puzzles, very deep environment, sense of involvement, climactic buildup, terrific voice acting, hilarious, should run on just about any computer. Even my old 95 could run it just fine.
Cons:
Dated graphics, puzzles can be EXTREMELY difficult at times, very unforgiving of newcomers to the point and click genre, slow character movement, very little music, no background music.
Overall comments:
The Feeble Files was one of the first Adventure games I really truly enjoyed. When I first owned this game, I had played previous point-and-clicks, such as monkey island, beneath a steel sky, lost island, roger wilco, etc. Feeble Files captivated me for hours, and left me satisfied and a great sense of accomplishment. But, be aware that it is a very difficult point and click.
other comments:
The story line loosely resembles 1984, so 1984 fans should definitely check out this humorous spin.
If you are a hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy/red dwarf/ other british sci-fi humor, this is a must have game. The Oracle (aka hitchhiker's guide sort of thing) has full voice acting, all brilliantly done. This just adds to the games immersion factor, so definitely listen to all of it.
Final score: 5/5
