THE BRiLLiANT COUP

Neue und lustige Idee, leider Fehler im Skript und daher nicht spielbar. Habe einen Spielstand geladen und kann plötzlich nicht mehr Ubahn fahren, ohne Fehlermeldung. Benutze das Telefon, das Spiel wechselt in den DIalogmodus, es passiert jedoch nichts und das herkömmliche Menü erscheint nicht mehr, man muss zum letzten Ladestand zurück. Ärgerlich, hätte mehr Potential!

muy buen juego. es cierto que tiene un parecido con thimbleweed park. de hecho si lográs encontrar la llave de la habitación del subsuelo de the limpin yeti, encontrás una sorpresa que le pone broche de oro a esta similitud. hay varios finales así que cerca del final conviene guardar algunas partidas para poder explorarlos todos. dicho esto, este juego podría definitivamente tener un mapa. debería, de hecho. para no tener que estar yendo y viniendo de todas las localizaciones a pie, que se hace muy tedioso.

This game is in desperate need of a map. WAY WAY WAY too much backtracking. Our hero has two speeds: strolling and ambling. He might be persuaded to shuffle if you click repeatedly. But that's only if he's in the right mood. Got very frustrated with constantly having to do the same actions over and over. For example, we need to wear a disguise to enter certain places. Instead of automatically putting it on, we have to click use every. single. time. It's maddening. Other reviewers have noted that right click always means look. So if you want to enter a door, you have to click open each time. It's a waste of time and doesn't increase the challenge, only the frustration. The game is pretty quiet due to lack of voiceovers. That's not always a dealbreaker if there are other sound effects to make up for it. This game has some music, though not in every location. The story is OK. But most of the characters are pretty unlikable. Our hero frequently turns to the camera and makes this "oooo looky here" face. It doesn't increase his likability. In fact, quite the opposite. He also dresses like a cat burglar for some reason. It's not really clear why he's doing any of the things he's doing. Apparently, his father was in prison with the "man with the plan" Briggs, who got Hero into the entire heist thing. Apparently, the son wants to follow in dear old dad's footsteps. He cries poverty, yet has expensive computer equipment at a time when most people didn't have home computers (1980s). Briggs comes off like a bit of a scumbag. Why is he dragging his former cellie's son into this awful plan? Is it merely selfishness? For some reason, the developers thought it would be cute to have Briggs spitting green phlegm every time he talks more than a second. It's disgusting and unnecessary. The game is quite lengthy, which has its good and bad points. You will be forced to backtrack through the same locations over and over. You will be forced to click "Use" and "Open" so many times that you will want to bite your own face off. All of these are small things that could have been fixed in any one of the four patches released for this game. Since they weren't, it's tough to call this a great game. Too bad because even a map could potentially transform the game's playability. It would certainly increase its fun level.

Juego clásico Point and Click, 2D y con 9 verbos. Muy recomendable para jugadores de juegos clásicos tipo Monkey Island.

The Brilliant Coup is a fun point and click adventure game, set in England. It is genuinely funny (one of your inventory item is your own brain, which is used to bring up your objective(s)), has catchy music, good sound and art design, and logical puzzles. Who does not love a good bank heist thriller?

Me pareció un juego muy entretenido de principio a fin, con momentos en los que no puedes parar de reír. Además, esos gráficos al estilo Maniac Mansion y los guiños están geniales, dejandome con muchas ganas de ver una continuación.

It's not bad, if the idea of a point & click puzzle game centered on a heist interests you. And you don't mind an overall package that feels about a generation behind its indie point & click peers. Would recommend that you buy other similarly priced but more highly rated point & click games first. Especially those that are voiced. Then later get this game at a discount, if you've run out of games. I had a smooth, bug free playing experience; only complaint is, a very small number of puzzle solutions require trying out random things; or some items can easily be missed. All puzzle solutions make sense though, and because of the nature of this game that doesn't hold your hand, it's quite satisfying to solve most of the puzzles on your own.
