In Bad Mojo, you take the role of a cockroach. The lines, namely the protagonists, are read very over the top, and works pretty well in the surreal circumstances of the game. Besides simple sound effects and average music, you get somewhat decent voice acting. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as nostalgia is always a great factor in games like this. You'll have to rely on your wits to get past tricky obstacles.Īudio in the game seems unchanged from the original. Besides, standards for graphical adventures aren’t that high, so overall, the graphics are passable.Īs a roach, you have no inventory or physical strength to speak of. It’s a little disappointing to see so little improvement in the graphical department, but the developers likely didn’t want to ruin the spirit of the game. This does, however, let you see the plenty of detail in the numerous environments. The maximum resolution is only 640x480, which will likely bother some people. Overall, it’s nicely produced, and adds even more value to the already cheap $20 package. It’s nice to have this kind of thing included with game, and I hope to see this becoming more and more common in the game industry. You have a “making of” documentary, commentary from the developers, and even some hints for the game! The hints are especially useful, because the game can get a little confusing sometimes. These are actually pretty interesting, especially for fans of the game. Overall, it works pretty well as it did 9 years ago.Īlong with the game CD, you’ll get a DVD with some extras. Most of the plot will be conveyed to you through live-action FMVs that look pretty good, and have decent acting.
Being a cockroach adds a really unique element to the game, one that you’ve never seen before. Now you’re charged with finding your way back to human form, along with exploring some of the backstory. He takes a look at a locket, and turns into a cockroach. He’s done some bad things and is planning on leaving the country. In this adventure game you take the role of Roger Samms, an entomologist. The environments are pre-rendered, though they're not always static. The cutscenes are amusing, and reak of that B-movie flavor.
Can a game released in 1996 be compelling now? So now, almost a decade later, we see this game re-released as Bad Mojo(Redux). It never really got as popular as the old Lucasarts adventures, but it did become a sleeper hit.
Bad Mojo was originally released back in 1996.
