~Time Gate :Knight's Chase

Animated Adventure by INFOGRAMES

This is another one of those great adventures of the "Alone in the 
Dark" type which I can see is going to drive everyone nuts.

The graphics are slightly better than in the series I mention, but 
the handling capatibilies of the character and the sudden changes of 
perspective continue to be a bit of a nightmare.

The interface could have been more awkward if they'd tried, but it's 
bad enough as it is... which is a great pity.  However, on the plus 
side, once you get used to it, it's not too bad at all.  
Frustrating, but not bad.

The sounds are great and very atmospheric and, for once, I quite 
liked the music.  At least it comes in at the right moment and does 
not go on all the time, getting on your nerves.

The presentation of the game is very artistic and enjoyable and, 
though the plot is not all that clear at the beginning, at least 
it's there.  It has to do with travelling to the past and righting a 
wrong, apart from rescueing a damsel, so you go from the present to 
Medieval times and get mixed up with knights and such.  Great fun.

If you can bear the clumsy handling of the character and the short 
arcade sequences, then you are in for a treat.  If you are a 
confirmed fan of the "Alone in the Dark" series, rush out this 
minute and buy this game - you won't regret it.
