This is more or less par for the course as far as the whole game is concerned. I'm sure all of the bods at Sierra must have been falling about with uncontrollable laughter as Roger's clothes started slowly disappearing, but the whole thing left me cold. There is a long intro, which makes much of Rogers demotion ceremony he is not only stripped of his rank, but all his clothes, too.
Roger, having been promoted to captain in the last game, has once again been demoted to janitor. We are not amusedĪs far as the game itself is concerned, it's pretty much standard Sierra stuff. Sierra's finest game to date) and Kings Quest 7 (another Sierra game, which is infinitely better than this one), but whoever designed Space Quest 6 either didn't think people would react as violently to Mr Tosspot's narrative as we did, or he/she simply forgot to include an option to take it out. You could do it in Gabriel Knight (which is still, as far as I am concerned. I really cannot understand why Sierra didn't include an option to turn off the narrator speech. So, your brand-new cd talkie adventure goes out the window and you end up playing a mediocre adventure game of yesteryear. There is, however, a slight problem if you take this option you lose the voice-overs for all the characters in the game, too. Everyone in the entire PC was cringing every time Mr Tosspot did his stuff. Look at something using the eye icon and the object in question will be described by some American tosspot with an unbelievably irritating voice. I have several criticisms of the game, most of which you can live with, but there's one which is unforgivable: the narrative for the game is, without any shadow of a doubt, the absolute worst I have ever heard in any cd adventure game. If you've ever played Space Quest 5 or Leisure Suit Larry 6, you'll pretty much know what to expect. you) solves loads more illogical puzzles, cracks naff jokes and basically has a pretty dull time.ĭespite the fact I'm always suspicious of Sierra adventure sequels (with the exception of the excellent Kings Quest series), I went into this review with an open mind, but after just an hour of gameplay I was incredibly bored with the familiar slapstick comedy and crass character dialogue. But I'm not sure that even they will have the patience to slog through another adventure in which Roger Wilco (the star of the show, i.e. The obvious question to ask at this point is: who's playing them? I've got to be honest and say right here and now that the only people I can think of who will want to play Space Quest 6 are the hard-core followers who've been following the series from the beginning. Undoubtedly squillions more games in the series will follow that. Those loveable bods at Sierra just don't give up, do they? I'm sure that even as I write this they're scratching their heads and wondering what they're going to do for "Space Quest 7".
