I wanted to love this game, but it just hugely missed the mark and the graphics were not awesome enough to make up for it.
The dialogue is ATROCIOUS. The storyline is sub-par at best. The things they do (and the choices they allow you to make) make no sense at least 70% of the time, but not in the typical 80's campy fashion, unfortunately.
The way they talk to each other insane. You're in a life or death situation and tell someone to call 911. Their response is "what do I say? Do I ask for the cops or an ambulance?" and hesitate to call is something I can't imagine literally anyone ever doing. It's also very contradictory, someone will say one thing and later say something that contradicts what was mentioned earlier, which is confusing and frustrating.
Also, as much as I love female empowerment and representation (being a woman myself), this was just too much- they force it down your throat and make all the guys fumbling idiots. I would much prefer a more well-balanced game that lets you work together as a team regardless of gender. Or better yet, to choose which characters you want to make work together or not based on previous interactions with them.
The graphics are nice, there are some fun visuals and puns, I like the menu, and as always the ability to make your own choices is addicting and fun. I'm going to finish the game because I paid for it, but I'm severely disappointed to be halfway through and amazed at the stupidity.
