Step into the shoes of Peter Wright, a communications designer
working on the Government's 'Freedom of Speech' campaign.
When his neighbour's apartment is stormed by a NYPD SWAT team
late one night, Wright is drawn into a nightmare world of
corruption, power and global domination...
The
Moment of Silence is a high-tech political thriller set
in the year 2044. The graphics and the plot of this game are,
for the most part, jaw-droppingly amazing. However, many of
the backgrounds appear a little too static. It would have
been much more welcomed if a little more attention to detail
had been spent on the rather flat backgrounds.
Due
to the fact that this game is very slow in getting off the
ground, many gamers may give up before they progress very
far. My advice is stick with it. Sure first impressions are
not overly hopeful, but the game does grow on you. But if
you are not a fan of point an click adventures this probably
won't appeal to you.
A
hell of a lot of attention to detail has been added to this
game. Ignoring the often flat backgrounds, the plot and voice
characteristics are better than the average game in this genre
and there is certainly plenty of humour injected by some of
the many characters you will encounter on your travels.
This
is not a game for those who want to kick seven shades out
of aliens or zombies. There is very little in the way of action
- just good old fashioned puzzle solving. George Orwell fans
will also love the obvious influence of 1984 and Animal
Farm.
For
those of you who want to play a good old fashioned point and
click adventure, but with a more modern approach, you could
do a lot worse than this little gem.
