Fans and non-fans of the Wizard of Oz alike will both enjoy this trek through the Emerald City, experiencing the excitement that ensues solving crime in the underbelly of Oz.
Creative Characters
An ensemble of vixens who expel the va va voom appeal of pin-up girls of old constitute the main characters and are supported by delightfully creative secondary roles such as a flying moose taxi service, robotic guardsmen, a woman constructed entirely of patchwork, and an ironically courageous lion.
Excellent Interpretation of Oz Mythology
Exploring this interpretation of a modern day Emerald City is enthralling, seeing both the high and low life areas of a diverse and magical city, and while enthusiasts of the film will certainly appreciate the detail, even those who have never seen the Wizard of Oz will enjoy the scenes that are constructed.
Don't Get Hung Up on Inaccuracies
Some intense fans of the film may be put off by certain inaccuracies such as Dorthy's blond hair, but largely the story attempts to offer explanations for such nuances in the context that it has been over 40 years since the film took place.
Lot's of Dialogue if You Enjoy This
Game play itself expertly integrates directions into dialogue which makes for a much more enjoyable experience than the average casual adventure game. Although at times it can become redundant by including pop-ups to establish missions after such informative dialogue, these ease in frequency as the game progresses and as such gradually become less bothersome.
Conclusion - A Brilliant and Unique Adventure
Overall Emerald City Confidential is highly recommended to any audience for its “in-your-face” creativity and smoothness of game flow that will provide hours of entertainment.
