This is a detective adventure, in which you play Daniel Singer, a reporter
for Channel Z. Your former girlfriend and co-worker Sarah Hopkins has been murdered
and because you recently broke up with her, you are considered to be the prime suspect.
You have a few hours to discover the real killer and your job isn’t easy, as there
are people in high places involved that will try to stop you. Evidence is a
point-and-click adventure with some real-time 3D action scenes that can be skipped.
They are interspersed seamlessly and logically into the game, and none of them are
boring or too frustrating. For example, after the first take-stuff-that's-not-nailed
down adventure sequences early in the game, the traditional third-person perspective
suddenly shifts to a first-person one, in which you must shoot your way in DOOM style
out of the hospital. Then the game throws you back in adventure mode, only to
transform again and again throughout the game into many other genres, including
beat'em up, shoot'em up, a car/boat chase, and even a snooker game. Microids calls
these sequences "real-time action," and that is exactly what they are. The result is
a fun adventure game that will give you more adrenaline rush than most; and while
these sequences are hardly the best of the genres they take from, they are quite fun
and interesting. |
