The graphics and music ARE excellent but one can't figure out a puzzle without a clearly stated goal. The solutions are creative but TOO creative, to the point of irrelevancy. The player is not inclined, in any way, to deduce the next step. How did we go from chillin with grandmas to a shipyard??? Why am I there? what am I supposed to do to move on and why? The artwork is grand but why in the world would they think an average person would come to those irreverent cause-effects? It doesn't make the game fun to play, it makes it a nuisance and a chore.
PS I'm having this same issue with their new plumber game as well. The Scene of the crime series is much better, much more coherent.
Reviews for "Grand Banda"
The artwork is really, really good and the length of the game is also just fine. But the story just doesn't make any sense. I didn't know why the old ladies were doing whatever they were doing in the game. And the scrolling made my head spin. Also, while the puzzles were fun, I needed the walkthrough in some areas, again because I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing. Some direction is required as far as the story is concerned, and an option for scrolling vide arrows would be helpful. Great potential though. Keep working on it :)
Not a fan
Why is this rated so highly? i'm not a fan of this game at all. It wasn't very fun or even inventive. Some stuff that wasn't obvious was just annoying and not clever.
Wow that was the worst 10 minutes of my life.
