adamsappel Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 Just wanted to alert anyone who had the capability that this game supports 1080i. I don't have my Xbox connected through my HD input so I can't speak to it, but even at 480p the game looks very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glaurung Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 looks stunning in (16:9) 1080i.....except that the cutscenes don't display properly. the cutscenes are a breathtaking 16:9 in 720p, though.....except that the gameplay is 4:3. still. a beautiful, beautiful game.

Calvin Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 What is the game about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 You play as a young lady named Kate. She is sent to a small town in Europe to finish a deal for her firm. The woman she is supposed to make the deal with has died by the time she gets there and as she encounters more town folks she uncovers a deep mystery that will carry her through one big and enjoyable adventure. Set in a small village that is known for its automatons (ie Robots but dont call them that in that game!) , Kate is trying to complete a purchase of a toy factory that makes thos very robots. Very unique setting and very unique story. Its an adventure game ala The longest Journey or Grim Fandango (ie point and click). The game has some control problems, though the interface translated over well. Well worth the 20 dollar asking price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 Sounds interesting. I'll have to add it to my want list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugms Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 has anyone had problems with this game locking-up when it switches to cutscenes. I've exchanged the game for a new copy and it still keeps locking. Now I save often. Could it be my settings? 1080i letterbox? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelley Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Sounds interesting. I'll have to add it to my want list. might want to grab it quickly cal, they only pressed 20,000 or so copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glaurung Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 has anyone had problems with this game locking-up when it switches to cut seens. well, while i haven't played the game long enough to get to the second cut-scene, i do play at 1080i and the first cutscene didn't lock the game up for me, though it did display incorrectly and one time there was a whole whack of garbage displayed on the right of the screen.... i really hope the game doesn't start locking-up on me.....

Calvin Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Kelley, Thanks for the heads up - my local GameSpot got in exactly one copy - which I now own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugms Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Next time I play, I'll change the res to full screen, see what happens? When I first got it I had the res in the dashboard set to widescreen... bad move! cant see sh!t. now its letterbox and gets stuck in a blackscreen when changing to a cutscene once in a while. Just enough for me to say i'm never playing this again and ten minutes later I'm back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
