She somehow got herself stuck in some dump (which really happens to be an underground hidden sector of the AR-K universe - gasp!).Her trustworthy & dependable friend "Franky" also happens to be in the neighbourhood, and helps her along the way (through use of a PDA).Characters:Alicia (the protagonist - a framed ex-cop & student of journalism - who finds herself stuck some place underground in this chapter)Franky (a walking & talking "swagger" bull - originally belonging to what is referred to as the "Valerian race" - used to run a burger joint, until he ended up underground along with Alicia)Grigor (lives underground, and ends up helping Alicia & Franky escape)UI\/mechanics:Pretty simple, point & click style navigation. Simplified inventory (click, drag, combine items), but runs awfully slow when actually clicked... and dragged. Feels like a total drag (unintentional pun right there...).The game progression consists mostly of some intuitive play & trial & error, with some help from Franky (by clicking his portret first, and then point-clicking any interactable surface).This game is most suited for players of a curious nature who like embarking on a journey without having to follow strict guidelines (the objectives are pretty blurry - there's no journal to keep track of progress or anything of the like).I often times had a vague idea of what needed to be done (due to hints dropped by the subcharacters), but wasn't quite sure how to reach a specific goal.So players who prefer methodical, linear gameplay could potentially feel stressed by this, as you're dumped somewhere and expected to find out things on your own (with a weee bit of help from the sidekick, but that's about it!).Though there is a map button that helps you get where you need to be without having to run around (though, IMO - it's preferable if you do walk, because you might tend to overlook certain details otherwise).Character design & game graphics:Alicia's physical design is... annoying. Her body is okay, but the way they styled her is flat out irritating, because 99% of the time she appears to have her generously shaped bosom up in the air, right in your face, whenever she walks. And whatever she wears apparently HAS to be ultra thin, super clingy 100% spandex, juuust so every line & curve of her body is visible and up in your face!Because there's no other type of fabric in the world, right? And Alicia is obviously very fond of super skinny size, which really has her looking cheap.It's anything but flattering and simply annoying - BUT, definitely an improvement from what she looked like in chapter 1.Regardless of this, I do like her witty & acrid sense of humour (it is refreshing!).She's quite headstrong & feisty and loves to explore. If she's told she can't do something, she'll go ahead and do it anyway.She may appear obnoxious at first (especially in the first chapter), but overall, she's mostly an independent-natured girl who likes her freedom and is not afraid to enjoy herself. She's not exactly conservative ;).It is heavily suggested that Alicia is very bright & smart, but her potential isn't really displayed in-game.There were often 3D cinematic cutscenes after completion of puzzles, which unfortunately got the game to freeze up almost every single time (without crashing though). The cutscenes were mostly unnecessary, yet enticing at times. In the end I think it didn't really add that much value.The game could have done without!Dialogue:Oh gee. Where do I start? Well, it's rather awkward & repetitive - almost always with a witty twist though. You just get a typical list of things to ask, and ask away till you're out of questions.There are some spelling & grammatical mistakes though (it does help to know the developers are hispanic, and assuming their mother-tongue is different from English, this could explain the oddities - to a certain degree - in this regard).Unfortunately, dialogues sometimes felt erratic due to faulty scripting (I always play with subtitles, and at times the subtitles didn't match what was being said by the characters, or what was said didn't make sense at all).Conclusion:I dropped 1, skipped 2, but finished 3, because the game mechanics were simplified in this chapter (though still aggravating due to sluggishness, but playable nonetheless).Thanks to the inclusion of a visual synopsis, I was able to catch up on what had formerly taken place in chapter 1 & 2 without having to play them.If you're planning on playing the first 2 chapters, you'll want to keep a guide at hand though, just to avoid any unnecessary frustrations in regard to game progression and gameplay.Finally, I think AR-K does have a special endearing feel to it (story-wise), so in the end I liked it :).. This game is part 3 of the series, and it has better overall polish than parts 1 and 2. In the first two installments, they established the setting and characters, though the game mechanics were not polished. The puzzles were troublesome more on account of a clumsy user interface, though this was in addition to the puzzles being somewhat obscure (i.e., just keep rubbing items together until something works).Part 3 is a more satisfying, polished experience, in terms of plot structure, character motivations, puzzle logic, artwork, and user interface. If you want to skip parts 1 and 2, then all you need to understand for part 3 is the following:-- SPOILERS --The lead character (Alicia) was framed for having stolen a golden sphere, about the size of a softball. The sphere is a piece of high technology that can hold an electric charge. The origins of the sphere are unknown, though more is revealed in part 3.Alicia has a love interest (Blaine) that works for a corporation that has an interest in the golden sphere.Blaine has an ex-love interest whom also works for the corporation.Alicia has a friend, Franky, who is essentially an alien minotaur. Though Franky was a minor supporting character in parts 1 and 2, he takes on a more important role in part 3.. The Great Escape is a huge step forward for the AR-K series and improves the game in all aspects : graphics (you can see that from the screenshots and trailer), story-telling (the story shapes up nicely and I can't wait to see what happens in the final episode), puzzles (much more logical and fun), gameplay (the user interface is a lot more intuitive).. A lot better than the first episodes!. This is one of my favorite games of all time. I just love the characters and their humor. The music is beautiful, I think i've spent more than two hours at Grigor's house just listening to the music. I got to say that I'm really in to the story and I love every aspect of it. I just can't wait for episode 4.. It's great when you come to a game and it's a lot better than you thought it would be. While I enjoyed ar-k 1 and 2 and I do recommend those games to play first, this for me is a lot better - story, graphics, setting. The writing was very good and if you didn't want to read everything, you didn't need to click on that character's bit of conversation but could come back to it if you wanted. I liked the humour, and it was witty in parts. It is the perfect balance of not just a good story which is vital in an adventure game but also good interactive gameplay.You continue to play as Alicia and thankfully she is more likable. In the first episode the OTT "I am a sexy vixen" coupled with a not nice attitude a lot of the times frankly put me off her and I didn't care what happened to her, but by the end of E1 this was mostly gone and here I actually cared and liked her.The story continues from 1 & 2 and I loved how at the end of episodes there is just enough surprise or hook to keep you invested for the next epsiode, it is literally a cliffhanger ending (not resolved or tied up with bow) with all of them and this episode is the same. I love the setting in this game (all new) and I got to solve a murder as well which was cool. There is also a transporter map so you aren't wasting time walking everywhere.While you could play this on it's own I do think there would be too many unanswered questions (what is the sphere, why am I here etc) and I do think you need to play the first game (which has episodes 1& 2 in it) to know what is going on. There is a video intro at the beginning which is supposed to recap what has happened but I don't know why but the clips seemed out of sequence, and they could have done a lot better job of a recap, seemed very disjointed.I loved the achievements in the first game, very imaginative and different but here it was mostly straightforward and some more unusual ones would have been fun. There is one though which I didn't see the point of and will be a bit annoying to do (worker one,) - so don't go by my final time re gameplay! Thoroughly enjoyed it and I really look forward to the fourth and final episode. Thanks DEVS for a very good, fun point n click adventure game.. The first part of this adventure needs some love because it has some minor flaws but nothing to serious. The good part is, it only gets better and better! I had a lot of fun playing this game and I am surely looking out for the fourth part.I can recommend this game to everyone who loves adventures, especially the 3rd part as about as good as an adventure can get :)Highly recommended (and bare with the first part, its fun as well!). After the disappointment that the previous games where, this one really saves the day!!!It seems that the engine had a big update, the inventory is much better, the dialogs actually lead you to the right answers to the puzzles and the scope of the scenery is much bigger! Definitely worth it!Buy the previous ones, play with a walkthrough by your side then play this!The only technical issue I ran into was that some audios are incorrect, but this is minor, really.Congrats to the devs!
