> The author of this article compares Full Throttle to Day of the Tentacle to show why it's a bad game, but Day of the Tentacle is one of the very greatest adventure games ever written. It's like comparing a movie made today to Citizen Kane.
Which isn't at all unfair. When discussing something that doesn't work it is often helpful to compare it to something that did that thing right.
- the_af 5y agoIt's an interesting comparison for unintended reasons though: I love DoTT almost as much as Full Throttle, it's such a good and iconic game... but I also find it frustratingly difficult [1]. Ok, it didn't have action sequences like Full Throttle but its puzzles are frequently bizarre. I had to use a walkthrough to finish DoTT which always mars the experience, while I didn't for Full Throttle. Don't get me wrong, I love DoTT. In fact, I feel like... taking over the world! [1] Mind you, even DoTT is a piece of cake compared to its predecessor, Maniac Mansion!
