If there was one thing that made the original Simon stand out from much of the other British stuff it was the fact that the script was bloody brilliant. All the locations now scroll across a number of superbly drawn screens and the animation has also received tremendous embellishment.
There is now a totally new user interface, which, this time, is completely icon-based as opposed to the old-fashioned text-based thing, and the graphics have been enhanced enormously. Wi new Simon The Sorcerer though, it would seem that a good few of these niggles have been sorted out and. There was nothing particularly major, but the interface could have been better and lack of any scrolling locations made it seem a bit primitive compared with the likes of Day Of The Tentacle or Sam And Max. Although the original was a super game, it was far from perfect and fell victim to a number of niggly, little problems which should have been sorted out. Now that the sequel is almost upon us, it would be safe to say that Adventuresoft has an awful lot to prove. starring the combined voice talents of Chris Barrie and Roger Blake (he of Spitting Image fame) also ensured that everyone sat up and took a bloody good look at it. The eventual introduction of a cd-rom version a month or so ago. Not only was it a damn fine point-and-click adventure game that borrowed heavily (or "pinched mercilessly" as some more cynical reviewer might suggest) from games such as LucasArts' Monkey Island, it was also -shock, horror - British. The original Simon The Sorcerer, released in the middle of last year, came as a real surprise to everyone.
