Arthur: special assignment
The tradition held back for the premiere release of the game the same movie, and got to Russia. It's no secret that out of these pans rarely get something worthwhile: a colorful arcade for a few nights is usually enough to inspire the Western consumer. We also market ruled by ugly shooters, or the so-called "Russian quests." Therefore, the desire to create from the "crime comedy" banal "walker" does not cause problems.
Another thing is that the material, to put it mildly, controversial: "Mama Do not Cry 2" barely even pull a decent sequel. The publisher had to rely only on the audience and fans nepriveredlivuyu Gosha Kutsenko (also, I must say, not aesthetes). So Arthur and other characters, plus half the locations and dialogues, moved to the corporate CD. The plot, however, remade in a new way, taking the idea of ââthe second part – the pre-election hype.
The sudden assassination of the mayor shook the seaside town. Rather, "shocked" – to all residents of lights, the police undertake an investigation in no hurry, and instantly declared contenders for the enviable position of passionate verbal skirmish. Two candidates: Attorney (wino in a "complication") and Michael melkotravchaty authority, located at City Hall. In the nuances of both the management, of course, no tooth foot. The situation is heating up, and appears on the scene the best specialist, shaven-headed "master conflict resolution".
The stumbling block for the game, oddly enough, was bound to the world of movies. Trying to entertain, but at the same time, blindly following the imposed history, " mother " tossing from side to side. Insanely sad. We are just in a fog, slowly wandering back and forth, looking for a murderer, then the other, the third … The interests of voters, the police, gangsters and the voice on the telephone fall on the shoulders of our brave, interwoven into a huge ball. A sort of an errand boy.
Neither of which "the disclosure of the characters' speech is not. Arthur learns easily counter any citizen, without ranting starting to clarify the necessary information. Conversations (they set aside a solid chunk of gameplay) arranged in a rigid form of questioning: question and answer. The choice of phrases to a minimum. In the language of interlocutors prevails thieves jargon (with altitude of authors), decorated with a bouquet of words-parasites. Yes, still used today a fashionable reception – communication via mobile phones. But as important calls – one, two and a handful, he had nothing to anything.

Puzzle – perhaps the strongest part of the " Mothers ". Apart from the abuse of puzzles such as "find the key to the door is closed" and a pair of screens with zhutchayshim "pixel-hunting", for the most part, they are logical and not without charm. Fun and miniature sketches like the bullying of the duty of the police station, and built-in puzzles, organically inscribed in a narrative frame: the installation of the film with performances of the people's representatives, scuffling with the soldiers on the battlefield panorama, assembly machine, which is preceded by almost Coktel'evsky searching for details on all room & hellip ; By the way, can sometimes be found alternative solutions.
This is not an abundance of good. Alas, that such good order, the selected location on the map designers was not enough. That's why we tiring and annoying jumps back and forth from point to point, supplemented by a leisurely gait of a hero. Constant transitions and triggers often pretty insulting on my nerves.
travel speed – just one of the disadvantages of being delivered had time to have a dry mouth QD-Engine. Loss of things out of his pocket, stupid hang-ups, an error with the phone (do not forget about the button "Off".!) … Full of drawbacks. Hopefully in the near future, the engine will write off the scrap heap.

Animation Studio "Mill" eagerly working on games based on films of "STV." Despite the experience in animation, until recently, the schedule has not been rewarded virtue of its projects. However, " Mom " is not so bad: the artists have worked at some of the rollers and "backs" and animators were awarded a rich set of characters in a variety of movements. It is a pity that the very fellows look like rustic sharzhiki.
The actors involved in the voice acting, nothing special is not shown. Kutsenko indifferent commented garbage cans ("do not care!"), Bashirov indistinct chattering mouth … But Misha Bortnik almost unheard of.
What's up? Hypnotic. The absence of indisputable flaws, normal duration, non-vulgar jokes – yes, of course. But the desire to play for some reason does not want to wake up. Maybe you should not be based on more than the book / movie / anecdote? ..
