This game is strange. Firstly, you enter your name. If you're a veteran of the game, enter your secret password, too. Next, you recieve a case in which the most rediculous historical items are stolen, like the Yangtze River. Then it will tell you how many hours you have to figure out who took it. You travel to different places, different time periods. In each one, you can get a witness, informant, or object to help you determine where the thief is headed next. But the only way you can gather evidence for a search warrant is to ask witnesses. There are five things to find out about a suspect: Gender, hair color, eye color, their favorite artist, and their favorite author. When you compute enough information, the searchbot is enabled, so when you finally land at the location where the suspect's hiding, you'll be able to prosecute the suspect (you can tell when you reach the suspect's hiding place because the person sticks rockets, catapults, and the like out in the open when you ask a witness, informant, or search for objects. Furthermore, one of them leads to the suspect.). When you finally catch the suspect, one of three things will happen. Firstly, if you tracked the wrong person, you suck, the suspect goes free, and you lose. Second, if you tracked the right person but haven't computed evidence, you won't be able to prosecute him because you don't have a search warrant. At last, if you tracked the right suspect and have a search warrant, woo hoo for you. You win. Wait a minute, you don't win. Because this game never ends...ever. On a side note, it pays to know history, literature, and art. Happy hunting.
Graphics: Not much in the way of graphics, but the V.I.L.E. Henchmen are animated all right, I guess. What the heck, an 8.
Sound: Oh my god! Does this suck or what? 5.
Gameplay: It's edu-tainment at its most subliminal! a Perfect 10 is required here.
Overall rating: 7.7
Comment: With a time machine, you should come back and rent this game.
