Under a killing moon on vista

A separate auxiliary panel is available for inventory manipulation, game options, hints and so forth. The hint feature of Under A Killing Moon is extremely well done and helpful as it was designed to give varying degrees of help but never more than you ask for.

In that regard, the game could well serve as a boilerplate for future interactive adventure games in the genre. Playing the game is a snap. There are two main control modes: movement and interactive. As expected, the movement mode set against detailed 3D backgrounds deals with Tex as he walks around his current location looking for people or things with which to interact.

All other action occurs in the interactive mode e. The usual selection of command icons is available to assist Tex in his work: look, get, open, talk and move.

There is even an Easy Play option that allows you to skip the main adventure gaming elements and explore the Under A Killing Moon world and view all the movie scenes with all required inventory items conveniently available.

Used with the hint system, this mode zips you through the seven days of the game quickly but without all the joy of actually playing the game and solving the mysteries. The professional acting is superb with a further bonus of hearing James Earl Jones' masterful voice as the Big P. Sound effects and the musical score are excellent. The mix of puzzles to solve and interactive clue gathering techniques is a marvel with very little extraneous debris to sift through.

All things considered, Under A Killing Moon gives you a feeling of realism and provides long hours of amusement and fun. Graphics: At the time of release, few games have better quality graphics then this one. Computer generated 3D backgrounds and scenery of high professional quality. Enjoyment: A treat to play.

Immersive and addictive, the story keeps you captivated and the interface is intuitive, not obtrusive. Replay Value: Worth a second look, even if you use the Easy Play option. Wouldn't be any worse than watching a rerun of your favorite program on TV. It's December, And you're the only P.
